Nice that you did visit my hometown..even it was not so succee due what happened in the castle :( . You started this video from a very same place in Savonlinnan Opisto and the same building where I studied as during my youngster years at the beginning of 1970s but only for a short time. Now as a senior citizen about half a kilometer from this St. Olafs Castle along the mainroad Olavinkatu. By the way this castle was not build in a easter board of SWEDEN, but the kingdom of Sweden-Finland. Something like a Great Britain which has there in these island England, Wales, Scotland,Northern Ireland together...Erik Akselinpoika Tott was the person who did started to build this castle as giving the order in year 1475. Thanks for a nice video and welcome again with a better luck & God bless to Savonlinna!
Thank you, much appreciated. I love getting the drone up where I can. Makes me wonder how incredible the area would look in the winter time when snow covers the land.
May was very hot 25-27, June was cool and wet, July who knows! August is usually the best summer month. Winter starts in November when daytime temperatures go below 0. It’s cold and dark. Not my favourite.
40 euros for being patched isn't that bad, really. I had a 50k euro surgery a few years ago, and I paid about 120 bucks for it myself. There are some benefits to being taxed beyond belief.
Thank you, much better now! Glad I could show you your home town, shame you had to visit the hospital when you were so young but hopefully they were able to look after you.
Oh no, hope you are doing okay! I spent my summers in Savonranta (a small town nearby) as a kid, the whole region is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
All good now thanks. Yes it's a lovely area, I really enjoy driving through it and seeing the scenery! Just had a look to see where Savonranta is, crazy how remote some of these places are. What an incredible area! Thanks for watching.
Sorry to hear of your loss in the Headbutt-Battle🤕 with that 15th-Century Castle Doorway. I'm sure it's record is MOSTLY undefeated. When you're in those old castles and other structures doing the more adventurous explorings as I've seen you do in several places👍 you'll need to adopt a posture, early, for certain openings that mimics "Igor" (Marty Feldman) in the film "Young Frankenstein" (1974)🙂 If your not careful hitting your head to many times they may put your-brain in a glass jar like the one Igor called "Abby-Normal"😄 Looking forward to the next video💯✝️🕊️
The "consultation fee" applies to citizens also. You pay it once per year, when you go in (you don't have to pay it then, they send you a bill with two weeks to pay it). So if you go in again, you don't pay again, until next january. Not sure if you, Matt, would need to pay it again. Probably their system (which is all connected, and that's why there's no form-filling) will have your payment logged, and then if you need the cut taken a look at, they won't take another 40€ off you. Hope so. Last time I had to go in the "stand by" department, which is a kind of low-stakes ER, where people go when they've broken an arm, or hurt their head (I guess you were at that department of Savonlinna system). I had to go to that in a country town, because I'd developed a severe eye infection, and then I go in there, talk to the receptionist, then wait until the two people before me were checked (which took about half an hour), then doctor looks at my eye for about twenty seconds, then walks away saying I can go straight to the pharmacy, he'll immediately send the digital prescription for aseptic eye-drops. Very fast and smooth. Just a few years ago, a much less practical system was in use.
Oh no! Nice that it wasn't a very serious wound and you're ok. When I was a kid we lived less than 100km from there and sometimes did sunday trips there with my parents.
@@MattWhitingsEurope The last time I visited the castle was 3 years ago. It was a really hot day and I was sweating when I was climbing all the stairs :)
Sounds like it was the cap that got you. Those low doorways can really get you when you walk through them wearing a cap. Even without the additional sharp edges. I hope your visit at the castle wasn't cut too short. No pun intended. Here's an introductory film of the castle. Maybe you can spot the doorway that got you there: "Olavinlinnan esittelyelokuva - Olavinlinna Castle's Introductory Film".
I don't know your route, but i recommend visiting Ylistaro as it has nicely beautiful old architecture and nature, and its nicely near cities like Seinäjoki and Vaasa! Currently on midsummer drive with family visiting here myself and i think you'd enjoy a nice drive by this place
Thanks for the suggestions, I've had a look and unfortunately I won't get time to visit them on this trip. I'll keep them in mind for the future though. Hope you're road trip is going well and you're having a great time!
Not to mention solid!! I am thankful I was wearing my baseball cap as it must have absorbed some of the blow. Without it I probably would have knocked myself out.
Hi Matt. I am first going to watch this to the end……and here comes the crunch moment from your hotel room….ouch ouch ouch….thank goodness for kind people helping you. (I never told you previously that I am a medical doctor AND a psychiatrist)….The scalp bleeds profusely. That superglue works well to close scalp lacerations…I dare suggest that Finland’s healthcare system would rate highly for efficiency. Were you still an EU citizen, you would not have paid a cent because for all emergency cases, there is an agreement between the 27 EU countries to cover emergency hospital expenses…What ultimately matters most is that you hopefully didn’t experience any long term effects like concussion….Here’s a crazy thought…or is it…sometimes having a traveling companion…not sure what distances you drove per day but perhaps you were a bit fatigued… There ends my long missive. Best wishes, until next time. Zoltán
Hello Zoltán , thanks for the information, as a doctor I could have done with you there at the time! 😆 Yes I was thankful to the lady for helping me but when I look back at the incident I'm quite surprised the castle didn't have any first aiders or even a proper first aid kit. They had to look in 2-3 locations to find a plaster. I actually do carry plasters myself but they weren't quite big enough for the cut - and also I couldn't see what I was doing. The lady that helped made the best of a difficult situation and was nice enough to call the hospital to see what they recommended. As far as healthcare, I actually do still get the same healthcare treatment as a local because the UK and Finland have a reciprocal deal so Finns in the UK can use our NHS and Brits in Finland can use your healthcare service. It actually sums up Brexit quite well - when we were in the EU I was able to use the healthcare facilities in any other member state. When we left the EU Boris Johnson decided to launch a Global Health Card system, however the global card works in less countries than the EU one. Go figure! Thanks again for your insight.
@@MattWhitingsEurope good morning. The absence of a basic first aid kit is a concern and makes one wonder about other places one visits as a traveller. I too carry plasters around with me everywhere I go…In my over the shoulder man bag. In regards costs of treatment, like you always say, it sounds reasonable. No doubt next week you’ll upload another fascinating segment. And nearly a year later, you’ve lived to tell the tale, and hopefully without any long term consequences. Naturally my nurturing nature shall wish you further safe travels and to look after yourself (I’m sure you’re fully capable of doing so). Accidents happen Cheers Zoltán The following might be helpful to any of your readers…especially useful if you’re on your own and nobody close by to assist. When it comes to basic first aid use acronym “RICE”. The idea is to help reduce the bleeding/swelling as much as possible. R- rest (stop moving) I - apply ice to affected area (a cold pack in other words) C- compression/ apply pressure to affected area - stems bleeding eventually allowing formation of a clot E - elevation (if applicable) of affected area to reduce amount of blood flow
Im glad I’m not the only one carrying plasters around. You never know when they might come in handy. Thanks for the information regarding RICE, very useful to us all. 👍
@@MattWhitingsEurope I'm Finnish and I'm pretty sure that a place like that should have first aid equipment. This sort of tourist destinations have a lot of temporary workers during the summer, so one possibility is that if they haven't been working there very long yet, they may not remember where everything is. They *should* know but sometimes things don't go the way they should, unfortunately. I'm glad to hear that everything worked out in the end.
@@nellitheretrogamer8666 Yes in hindsight I thought it was a bit strange but no big deal. The lady who helped me was great considering the circumstances.
So, how did the castle feel? ;) Moments like this makes one wonder how such occurence would have been dealt with at the time the castle was first built. And other wounds and medical situations. How lucky we are to have public healthcare.
This video is good reminder me that people are weaker than i keep thinking, do to how often i get hurt and wont even get anything from them... But glad your okay and it wasent anything, well too serious.

Hitting your head seriously and getting it quickly fixed and jumping to have a car trip might not be what the doctor would have suggested..? :/ You might have had a concussion that would have still start to act up while you were driving (being danger to you and the others on the road) and (alone) be farther from the hospital. And you certainly should not have been alone next night without anyone check on you regularily. :/
I guess that's one of the downsides of travelling solo. The doctor said he didn't see any signs of concussion at the hospital and told me to keep an eye on it for a few days. I had information on what signs to look out for but thankfully never experienced any of them. Had I of felt unwell of shown signs of concussion I wouldn't have driven on because the last thing I would want to do is put myself or anyone else in danger. I live to tell another tale!

The Winter time sounds like a very special time of the year - although I understand why it's not your favourite.
What a series! Great deal on the room. Castle looks incredible. Wow, glad you are okay! You'll even brave the hospital for content!
Gotta keep that camera rolling. The show must go on! 🤕🫣😫🥵🤢
Sorry for your misadventure. I enjoy your entire travel diary. Thanks for sharing all those beautiful places and areas. 🙏
Thank you, all good now! Glad you're enjoying the videos, really appreciate you saying!
Good to hear your misadventure was so quick. Those doorways really keep you humble, eh?

Totally agree. I was very happy to pay my 40 Euros to get the help I needed - you can't put a price on health.
I am glad that you are ok. You still showed me my home town because I was in the hospital there for many days when I was 15. 😄
