I hate going to doctors and have forever.  I am 27 and I can remember as a child fighting with my parents about going.  I still don't go when I am sick until it is absolutly necessary to the point where I will have a 103 fever etc.  I just recently had my first surgery and was scared out of my mind.  I am with you on this!  I have never had anything inappropriate done I just don't like them!

I am not afraid of doctors; but just wish they would spend more time with us.  Unfortunately, they put a lot of the answers to tests that are taken to the responsibility of the nurse or office help.  I would like to ask questions or have a professional answer.  I was told that it is because of the health care system right now and the specialist are not getting paid what they are worth and also because of HMO.  I expect professional and quality when I go to see a doctor.  It is too bad they do not have more time and maybe their reason is somewhat reasonable

I have asthma but am managing to keep it under control.
