Do you ever get nervous before a Dentist or other Medical Appointment?

[thegreenyogi]

[OneViewpoint]

No, I get annoyed / pissed off. It usually steals a good chunk of my day which mainly ends up being waiting around or driving to and from. And it's never anything serious or a problem. Just routine checkups. I'm always tempted to just skip it.

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!

[aaron13547]

Oh yea, going to a doctor is like admitting I need help... lol good luck convenience me of that. You better blindfold my dumbass and tell me we are going to get ice cream.

Had more than my share of stupid errors from a particular dental specialist. Finally found a good doc, and he misdiagnosed the area of infection in my mouth, thereby ordering tooth extraction that wasn't really needed. (The infection burrowed through the gums to a different place!!! ) The junior partner in the clinic to which I was referred was on the right track with his Dx in finding that little burrowing tube of the infection, but by that time the damage had been done, to my gums and my bank account.

My main MD is good guy.

[sage2021]

Just the dentist! Doctor don't intimidate me. They don't know how to help people anymore anyway. And they don't care like they did in the olden days.

[hafinjun]

Isn't that the damn truth

[Zack-Bann]

A little
Not because of whatever test or procedure it is
But because I don’t often trust the competence of doctors (especially ones I don’t know)


I’m sure they know their job inside out but I also understand that a doctor always has to limit liability if something goes wrong
So they might be inclined to be too careful and prescribe too much medicine and end up doing more harm than good

[Proudblondewoman]

I avoid dentists and doctors. I don't and never have trusted doctors and dentists, or any of the medical industry. I eat healthy and exercise a lot and am in very good health. My teeth are good and very healthy too.

[Simslover92]

Dentist yes. The last time I went, they went so hard on my teeth, I felt like I wasn't going to have teeth left.

Medical appointment no for the most part.

[Anonymous]

Always. Though as I get older and my health starts to deteriorate though I realize how little is in my control and I worry less and less. The only thing that really concerns me is what is pertinent to tell the doctor or dentist. Because it always seems like the stuff I get concerned about always seems to be nothing, while the things I think are nothing seems to be the things to get concerned about.

[NathanDavis]

if it is routine check-up, no... I don't get nervous

if it is an appointment needed because I'm ill... then I get usually get ANNOYED, but not usually the nervous type... lol

[Anonymous]

I love being examined by the doctor but I still get a little nervous. You never know what's going to happen until you're in the little flannel johnny, on the table.

I dread the dentist. It's no fun, all pain.

[RandomGirl42]

Omg, yes. I literally have to have someone hold my hand and just about drag me to the appointment like I'm 5 years old. 😳

[FreyaRed]

I see a dentist in mirror every day and other MD are afraid of dentists more than dentists of them.

[beenherebefore]

Not really unless I have to do the pap smear exam, that’s why I’ve been seeing the same doctor for a while now.

[NoDecision]

Not the dentist, but going in to see my ob-gyn gives me cause for concern sometimes.

[hafinjun]

Why's that if you dont mind

[NoDecision]

@hafinjun Because women have more that could be wrong than men. You may get an enlarged prostate but testicular cancer is rare in my opinion. More rare than cancers women get.

[hafinjun]

Makes sense , id never thought of it that way. Thank you

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t feel it per se, but my blood pressure usually goes up.

[Unycorn]

Only if it is because of cancer or anything really bad

[Xawyx-2]

Dentist - Yes, always.

Medical Appointment - Mostly no.

[petitedollbabee]

For routine appointments, no, but for serious appointments yes.

[Surely]

I get the “shakes” after receiving novicane. I get pissed of when the doctors are running way behind and every different person in the office wants your birthdate!

[Angelbabylips]

All of the time. I think they call it "white coat syndrome."

[exitseven]

Yes, I always worry that I need a new liver/

[jahaims]

I get pre annoyed. It's better now that I have money because they pretend to care now. Going through the medical system when I was poor was useless.

[msc545]

NOt mediocal, but definitely dental visits. They have never failed yet to hurt me.

[elTAHAwy]

Yes because I don't like going to these places it's always sad, God bless all these medical stuff who works there all their life

[Nicole12t]

Yes!!! I hate going to the dentist, I dont hate him at a person but its so uncomfortable to have someone poking around your mouth!

[Still-alive]

Yeah sometimes. I wonder if they’re gonna tell me how much i don’t floss lol

[RedInnocent69]

Not really. Dentist appointments kind of turn me on actually

[queenofcardio]

I try to be healthy so no.

[Nikki1989]

Nope. I look forward to it.

[Evsisa]

Yeah more often than not.

[Bricealan]

@thegreenyogi Yes, sometimes

[Shiprex]

Not normally. I'm fine with treatment

[Alex-Snow]

Not really. Their job is to help keep me healthy.

[DrPepper12]

No. Just opening the bill.

[douride2]

I have no issues with either of those.

[Sal_Monella]

If I think bad news is coming, yes.

[Snowman84]

Yeah blood tests and Dental exams.

[hafinjun]

Hated dentists so yes

[HДLILБΞУ]

I'm not living anymore, I've gotten used to it..

[WhitneySnow]

Of course

[Cute_User513]

I don’t like the dentist either!

[WhitneySnow]

[katiesmuff]
