I've never really been fearful of doctors, but since my old doctor (who was SOOO nice!) moved away a few years ago, I haven't been able to find a new one. I've had to rely on the doctors in the local walk-in clinic. They aren't as friendly and I always feel like I'm doing them a huge disservice by going in (even though I only go in when I absolutely must...).
I find it very difficult to talk to them. I feel like it doesn't matter what I say, they're going to just write it off anyway. Just being in the room with them intimidates me.
With that said, I need to get a blood test. For the past few months I've been getting unexplainable bruises all over my legs and I don't think it's wise to ignore it any longer.
The blood test also worries me, but I'm more worried about having to go in and tell a doctor at the clinic that I want a blood test.
Anyone have a fear of doctors? Do you avoid going completely? Do you take a friend in with you?
