no i am not afraid of doctors...i do not know the same case when i was young but now i am not afraid of them. Even they are human beings why to worry about their profession. But when i am sick i try to avoid them because of them sour medicines and injections. When it is the case with compulsion they then i have no other way. Dentists...then it is the other issue...they always try to pluck our teeth hahaha just kidding....today we have excellent technology and the medication is too expensive. I will tell one secret, i try to avoid the tooth complaints. I hate the issue but they are very compulsive in our day to day life. Thats great about you teeth....really you are blessed with good teeth so only you had no appointment till now maintain this. Needles are not only the issue now-a-day but the docs have become commercial and try to take more and more fees...

I'm not afraid of doctors, most of them are even very friendly. I am afraid of the diagnosis instead. Everytime I go to the doctor for some health problems I could not help myself but think of a dreaded disease that I might have thats why it makes me nervous while waiting for the result of the check-up or test.

Nothing to be scare. You just need to know eventhrough you feel pain when doctor doing something on you but it will heal you from future pain, then you will not so scare about it. 1 hour pain is much better than long term pain

I am a nurse so I am not afraid of the doctors. The only thing that I'm afraid of is the results of the tests and the procedures. I am afraid to go through the knives during surgical procedures. I am afraid that there might be some abnormal findings after some diagnostic exams. But I am not afraid of the doctors.
