Why is a visit to the docter so scary

[bahamuts heir]

If you're like most people you hate going to the docter and probably are afraid of going, and I'm wondering what's so scary. I only fear it cuz it concerns needles

[Unknown Entity]

I don't like being told bad news. I don't like waiting. I don't like the smell of bleach covering the odour of vomit and sick people. I don't like needles.

The fish tank is cool though.

Omg, I cant stand the Dr, I just don't like medical stuff. I don't like the smells either. I used to spend waay to much time at big hospitals and that probably has something to do with my phobia. I get all shakey whenever I have to go and anxious.

That's one reason, for me and the fact that I always feel like they'll do something I don't want them too.

I dislike going to the doctor for a variety of reasons. Most are just petty, but they are my reasons and I don't care.

My biggest reason is, yeah, getting shots. For some reason, everytime I think "doctor visit", I always associate it with getting a shot. Even if it's just for a checkup, I have that thought in the back of my mind like, "Okay. When is he going to come at me with a needle?" And yeah, I get a slight panic attack everytime.

I notice that hospitals and doctor's offices have an odor. It's not a terrible smell, but it's one that I don't want to smell all the time.

I hate waiting in thier waiting rooms. The magazines are never interesting. The channel that the television set is turned to is always boring, and the chairs are never comfortable. Also, even if you are on time or early for your appointment, it still takes forever to see the doctor. Granted, they're probably really busy with "doctor matters", but if I'm scheduled for a certain time, then I want to be seen at that time. I wouldn't care about waiting if it weren't for how some nurses/receptionists treat you like the most awful thing on the planet if your late for your own appointment.

Money. I don't have my own insurance, so whenever I go to one, I know that I'll be dishing out some cash to cover the expense. Thankfully, it's never been too much that I couldn't just pay right then and there, but if something serious were to happen, I would pretty much be screwed.

So yeah. I have some issues about seeing doctors.

I actually really like going to the doctors. Getting things injected via a needle doesn't really bother me... it actually kind of fascinates me. Getting blood drawn is really cool looking to me as well.

I don't care about going to the doctor, not a problem.

[Rocky]

Doctors don't **** with me, my mom knows them all lol. Or at least all the ones that I go to.

The Tusken raider doctors are kinda scary though, I don't know if they keep their stuff sterilized.

This. I only go to see the fish! ^^ Everything else is scary. Needles. I don't like total strangers feeling me up either. Its just plain creepy. I don't like getting a lot of blood sucked from my arm either. And when doctors feel around your bladder area its almost like they reach too far down on purpose. >.> The smell is not explainable. I guess bleach would be close enough. The books they have there are all kids books so none of them entertain me really.

Tusken raider doctors are quite good at their job. And as far as sterilization is concerned ever since the creation of plastic seal it hasn't been a problem. Before that though, man was it hard to not get sand in everything out there.

Regular doctors offices only drive me crazy for one reason. Horrible magazines. It would be nice to see some gaming related material on a coffee table in the waiting room... or anywhere for that matter.

You've stepped in teh realm of "whoa buddy, too much too soon!!!"

hold them horses!

I'm a big time hypochondriac, so I hate going to the doctor because I know that when I go in there, I won't be able to explain to him all the crap that I think is wrong with me, so when I leave, I'll have just as much anxiety about my health as before. And because of my hypochondria, anything to do with illness in general just freaks me out, including this thread.

I also hate having my balls fondled, especially considering that my doctor is a guy.

One time my doctor (who is a girl) fondled my chest (checking for lumps I guess) and I was like o.O
It almost made me sick to my stomach for some reason. Like the over butterfly feeling. I always feel awkward about them checking my feet because I'm always worried they will stink or something.

I had a female doctor when I was 13.

I was the most excited kid ever. Literally...

It was awkward.

I don't really ever go to the doctor. It's kind of one of those things that happens when you don't have health insurance. Then again, I've only gone to the doctor when I was retarded sick and needed medicine badly. Food poisoning + sinus infection= worst doctors visit ever.

Hell, I didn't even go to the doctor for nose breaks #2-5 or when I tore my ACL. My family is all about "walking it off." Irony is a bitch.

Doctors do not bother me in the least bit.

[Maridia]

I like the doctors. They're 50 50 sometimes chill and get you in and out or kinda douchey but do the job anyway. I always find it fun, the weird feeling of looking in your ears or the blood pressure thingie. The only thingie they're not allowed to touch is my balls when they do that once a year. It's weird but hey nothing wrong yet. And needles don't bother me since I've been allergy tested several times which means you get injected 30 times in one arm in an hour span.

Now the dentist I don't like the sound of. Haven't been to one in I think a decade so I cringe at going back though I know I have to. I brush twice a day and I know I have a couple cavities though it's probably worse. I asked my mom to go at 14 since it had already felt too long and she laughed at me saying yeah when I have the money to pay for it....hmmm gotta feel that love...

[Priscilla]

Doctors don't bother me. I'd rather go and get checked out and know I am healthy as opposed to stay at home. I hate needles though. But I would still happily get one if I needed to.

[Furore]

I don't mind doctors if it's just a needle or something.
Dentists on the other hand I'm not so comfortable with as after one of their professional cleans my teeth get really sensitive for a while and eating anything sugary stops being as fun to eat as usual.

[Tiffany]

The only thing I don't like is the wait times. My doctor is super slow, so if she's running behind (which is more than likely) a wait could turn into a couple of hours.

That's my only beef. I'm not afraid of anything in the doctors. I had kidney failure and nearly died 2 years ago so I definitely appreciate going and knowing I'm okay rather than to stick my head in the sand and not know. Doing that nearly killed me.

[bahamuts heir]

Lol I made about every type of docter not just basic ones,meaning the dentist, sicatris(I know it's spelled wrong),etc

gynecologist sucks, only because I don't like the normal doctors to begin with ><;

[midgetbob]

I usually don't like doctors because I know they're going to tell me something I don't like to hear. Plus I have this weird fetish of not taking medicine because I don't want my body to become dependant on the medicine to fight off infection. Instead I ingest gallons of orange juice whenever I start getting sickly.

I don't have an issue with needles or anything... when donating blood i usually scare the nurses by screaming, "OH MY GOD YOU MISSED MY VEIN AGAIN!?!" to scare the other people... they really LOVE that.

[Josh_R]

I'm pretty much used to doctors now. I go there so often to get stitches, and whatnot. When I was younger I hated doctor. I was scared that everytime I went I was gonna get blood drawn, or get a shot.

My most embarassing moment actually happened at a doctor's office. I was sixteen, and had to get my sports physical. Lucky me my doctor was a hot blonde. She was feeling me up for hernia's and what have you, when all of a sudden bam... Boner... She jumped, and I covered my eyes and said to myself "You dumbass". She told me it is not uncommon for it to happen. Still embarassing though... This was back when I had a problem when exposing myself. Now if you come to a party with me odds are you will see my **** before you leave...

Getting needles poked in you are not fun >.< i'm fine with going to the doctors as long as i don't get a needle poked in me
