Emergency care
Emergency
care (legevakt) outside normal office hours.
It is usually difficult to make an appointment to see a doctor urgently (the
same day or the next day). However, a GP's office/clinic would often tell
you to call first thing in the morning (around 8 am) in order to get an
urgent appointment the same day. Doctors do not make home visits during or
out of surgery hours. If you need to see a doctor quickly or out of normal
office hours you need to go to the nearest emergency clinic
(legevakt), which usually is attached to a hospital. Remember to
provide your personal identification number (personnummer), which
you obtain from the Social Security office (trygdekontor) or the
registry office (folkeregister). For more information about the
personal identification number, see Immigration.

Water
There are still large amounts of clean drinking water in Norway, but the
water does get some pollution from agriculture, acid rain, and leakage from
sewage in older water supply systems, which can cause diarrhea. For more

Dangerous animals
The only venomous snake in Norway is the adder (huggorm) or
European viper, recognized by the black zig zag pattern against a brown
background on its back.
This snake can be found in the forest area surrounding Oslo.
Predators in Norway are bears, lynx, wolves, and wolverines. The stock of
wolves is growing and wolves have been seen in the Oslo surroundings
(Nordmarka).
