Top Ten fears of a patient



Putting myself in the patient's shoes.... Remember, I sometimes change roles and become a patient as well!

Top ten fears of a patient

1. I hope it is not a nasty doctor behind that wooden door. (New patients)
2. Is he going to give me MC today?
3. Am I going to die?
4. Is the medicine going to be yuckky
5. Will my hair grow back?
6. Will there be a scar? (After having 10 stitches to the forehead)
7. Is the injection going to hurt? (I don't know of one that doesn't)
8. Is he going to have to look at my private part?
9. Is he going to be unhappy because I went to see another Doctor?
10.So many medications, sure going to cost a lot of money

Is he a breastfeeding friendly doctor? Will he tell me to pump out my milk and throw? I have meet one of these doctor before and my 3 month old cried for almost 4 hours before I realise we can call the hospital.
