I've been in the hospital too many times (not for me personally) but mostly due to all the times my dad's almost died for several... multiple different reasons. And the hundreds of emergency surgerys and operations over the years, and him being there for days, weeks, months at a time, that it seems like even when I have family or someone close that is in the hospital.. not that I wouldn't go.. but I avoid it as much as possible because I get so much anxiety being there and I get upset and I can't be in there for long periods of time before I get too overwhelmed.

Does anyone else experience this as well? Or traumatic experiences?

@SW-User I very much agree, and it's a shame. People work for a paycheck, not for the passion to truly help others. Most doctors will just blindly throw prescriptions at you for the smallest of things or just guess what you should take for certain things, such as depression. And that's where I lost my trust. I won't accept regular doctors to prescribe anything to me, only if they have a profession in that area of health.
It's just a shame.
