Any of you here afraid to go to a doctor? Since childhood until now I really don't want to go to a doctor. I really don't understand why until now I'm still afraid. Maybe I'm just afraid to face the consequence in case they find out I'm sick.

Yeah jengrin, during my childhood I was really scared of visiting doctor. What I scared the most was injection. To a kid it was really frightening to see a sharp needle to poke into the arm or thigh of my body. Of course nowadays I don't have such feeling anymore. I don't feel painful as well when having injection. I had donated blood several time. Anyway I'm brave enough to see personally how the nurse or doctor to do the injection on my arm. Anyway I don't like to visit any doctor, so I always try my best to take nutritious food, sufficient water daily and having physical exercise regularly to keep myself healthy and fit. posting and take care.

Thanks a lot! I really don't know why I'm still afraid of an injection. I know I'm too old to be afraid of injections.

I am not afraid to go to a doctor. I would much rather find out that I am sick and have treatment rather than let an illness kill me. When you go for regular check ups, you get to know your doctor and you will find that there is absolutely nothing to be scared of.
