Speaking only for myself, of course, I don't fear going to my dentist one bit. I like the idea of laying back, getting a good dose of nitrous oxide, and dreaming about bumble bees and flowers. Even a root canal is pleasant compared to seeing my physician, who is a very nice person by the way, except she can't stop preaching about the evils of smoking like I have never heard that before at 61 years of age. A root canal is nothing compared to a sermon about the evils of smoking or the evils of eating fat or the evils of anything else for that matter. I know she is only doing her job but enough is enough. I won't even mention the dreaded blood pressure test which is why I see her every time I turn around. At least I am paying for a health care PLAN (not health care insurance which is an oxymoron in my opinion but a real health care plan) so I shouldn't complain I guess.
Do you dread going to see your health care professional? If so can you offer some advice to them to make your experience more pleasurable. If I had to see a social worker I would most likely shoot myself but that is a different story.
