Is anyone else really afraid of the doctor?

Me too ... 😉

I must say that my very first experience ( was very young ) with a nurse is been not so good, however probably for that I am here now, and I do like really female nurses ... 😃

In order to fulfill my curiosity and urges I have actually considered going to the doctor or ER wirh fake symptoms so I can have things done to me. I don't fear it at all - I long for it.

I am petrified to the point that I just don't go. It is a paralyzing fear for me. I don't understand it at all. And the latest thing is if I do go and that is rare, I cry after and get all depressed and very angry with myself. I don't share this with any but I find myself feeling good about letting this out while I can remain anonymous. I sometimes think if I can figure out why maybe I can overcome it, but I don't know the source all I know is I have always been afraid!!!!!!!!!! Very strange thing, this fear disappeared during pregnancy, unfortunately it returned. I had only one minor panic attack the whole pregnancy and birth. Once my child was born the fear came back! I think I was able to separate it in my mind and it was my child receiving the treatment then if that makes any sense. I would love to hear some thoughts and comments

Wouldn't say i was afraid tbh - depends on what im going for - routine check up then no - but further treatment i guess i would be pretty scared of what they might find but of the actual doctor not really.

I'm the grandson of a man who went 54 years without seeing a doctor. Doing my best to follow in his footsteps. I don't go to the doctor unless I really think I'm dying.

Well, i'm not scared of the doctors. like you, i'm 24 and well, never been to the gyno. i fantasize about it alot but doing the real thing, going to the gyno for the first time freaks me out. and the fact that i'm a virgin , makes it all the more scary. so, maggie, youre not alone. and guess what? it's kinda embarassing on my part since i'm an RN, i know the importance of getting an exam but i cant do it. but then i also believe personally that it's something one should do when one's ready.

Dear Katie,

according whith several previuos posts, a full physical is certainly less paintful even it's sometime embarassing than a dental visit.

On the other hand, I remember, as old Dr, that in 1960 to 1975, many catolic families thought that the "aim of the life" of girls was becoming wives and getting a lot of children ... So, often , the mothers used to take their daughters, even virgin, to their gyn/obs for an exm which was performed generally without break their hymens : breast exam, close exam of the vulva, use of spcial virgin speculum, bimanua exam with only a finger or rectal exam . Being adolescent I was already very interested in médicine and I remenber that some of my (female) friends said me they had felt these exams a both very humiliating and a litte nit arousing ...

I had a very nice family doctor as a child, he even made house calls when I got sick, but I was always afraid I might get a shot and I was terrified of needles as a child.

Now, I have no fear, but real doctor visits are pretty routine (aka boring). There is something about reliving those early days, that is somehow... enticing?

I have a fear only because they tell me something is wrong, not always but I dread that time they say something is very wrong.

I Love when I do go and get examind buy the nurse or ex-ray by a female like today I just got back from the doc and I hurt my back by lifting a bag of concrete, this cute dark haired girl did the ex-rays and when she was looking for the right spots it was so amazing how I was loving it not to mention I was attracted to her.

not afraid of the doc just the fatal stuff. 😎

I can't get over those afraid of injections and needles it is only the slightest of pricks or scratches.

It's maybe weird, but i have medical fetish and in the same time have truly human fear about shots and stuff and in general i hate going to the doctors. I prefer my own fantasies 😃

Is Anyone Else Really Afraid Of The Doctor?

Uhm, yes, I too am afraid of the doctor. I'm not afraid of the doctor per se. I'm an RN, I worked with doctors. But going to a doctor scares me even though I'm into medfet. Whenever I go to the doctor, I get all nervous. Waiting in the reception area trying to take my mind off my fear by thumbing through magazines doesn't work. I'm so jittery by the time it's my turn, my hands are so clammy and my vitals are through the roof. Then I end up talking nonstop, giving the doctor a lengthy history of my symptoms and the meds I've taken that my doc (been seeing him since I quit the pediatrician at 16) just cant help but smile at me, letting me finish my nervous rambling before he says anything. LOL.

The question is, why am I so scared? I haven't had any traumatic experiences at the doctor's. I think it's the fear that the doctor will find something seriously wrong with me that scares me. And as an RN (I guess it's true to other health care professionals), I tend to have mild hypochondriac tendencies in the sense that there are times that any pain or symptom makes me think of worst case scenarios and going to the doctor makes me fear that my scary hunch will be confirmed. Also, being at the other side, as in being a patient makes me vulnerable, the power suddenly shifts. I mean, at work I'm used to be being the one giving and now all of a sudden I'm the patient and am the one who's surrendering myself to someone's power. This is the same with my feelings about giving and receiving injections, I love giving but dread receiving.

As with medfet, it's different in the sense that, it's play, so I need not worry about the doctor finding something wrong with me, so I can relax and enjoy. As with the power thing, yes I sub so I get to be patient but I also domme so I get to be doctor too, unlike in real life where I'm just the patient in that doctor's office and cant switch.

But despite the fear and apprehension felt in the RL doctor, when I get home, it becomes fodder for imagination and even material for play. But that's only because I'm already free from the pressure and fear and am once more comfortable, excited and horny as hell. 😁

I hate going to the real doctors, too many bad experiences as a child and witnessing other debacles happening to friends and family in hospital. I havent seen a GP in over 7yrs.

Can't say that I'm afraid because I spent a lot of time with doctors during my proffesional sport career !Always feel the thrill entering the hospital during my injuries looking for some nice looking gloved nurses and female doctors!now is the same!can't help myself!

I'm really afraid of injections and needles

😳

I am terrified of doctors, dont know why bjut they really scare me a lot x

I am terrified of the dr as well

I was wary of "the doctor" when I was a child. Now I'm older than the doctors and see them as highly trained and skilled resources I need. It feels as if we work together to solve my health issues.

Not scared of the doctor but i hate the dentist .they are really scarey

Not afraid of the doctor, just don't want any bad news to come out.

I'm not afraid at all but I'm really turned on by doctors (females only) in surgical scrubs. They're always so cute in that overlarge greenish clothing and looking really professional and busy. 😁

Hi,

Personally I am not afraid of going to the doctors or going to a nurse. There is a little apprehension sometimes when I get a check up related to what will happen and what extent will be the exam.

I like the idea of being examined but on the same time I respect doctors and medical practitionners. They are humans afterall and they did not study this much to become fantsay partners.

Usually one is not afraid when in good health and going for a regular check up. But I did get what is called white coat syndrome. Meaning the blood pressure reading where higher than usual based on the presence of a doctor or a nurse.

I don't think it's paralyzing fear just apprehension of the unknown.It is the worst when seeing a new doctor I've never seen before.

I hate going to the doctors, I've had a few of health issues since my mid teens (I'm 23) but none of the doctors I went to really took me seriously. Everytime I go to the doctors it still feels like he/she thinks I'm making stuff up and I absolutely hate it. I mean why the hell would I go there and make something up? I don't go there for fun.

I may be in to medfet (not that they know that) but I don't enjoy having to go see a real doctor.

I am absolutely petrified of every physical exam. I am afraid of having to reveal my genitals.

I too am petrified at the Doc's. My B/P goes sky high!

Always have been and still am. Sigh.

I honestly don't care, from being an athlete in school and up to even now tons of physicals and such. Shots/bloodwork never bothered me I even donated a few times in High School. Try getting Sarah in one of these places though and she's scratching at the curtains like a cat trying to escape its bath. Needles, being touched, being cold ect... not her favorite things. Well being touched goes along way so..

I'm just fine with some things--including some rather nasty procedures--but with others I'm a real wimp.

I'm okay with an IV once we get the needle out and leave just the angiocath, but terrible with blood draws or anytime the metal needle is in my vein. I don't do well with arterial lines either...once they are placed, that's okay. But placing them is really hard on me.

I get terribly embarassed by my wimpiness over blood draws. I am getting better, but I still have to constantly distract myself.

I also don't do well with the male genital exam. Last time I grabbed the assistant's hand for moral support.

I've never had an LP or epidural, but the idea of one makes me want to run screaming into the night.

In R/L - probably everyone is a bit afraid of the doc because of what they might tell us, a procedure or who knows what else. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. Blood draws don't bother me, but they only get three tries. More than that I want a different person on a different day.
