How do you know when you might have "White Coat Anxiety"?

[Haole Girl]

I just almost stopped breathing just watching the physicians, with their white coats, on The Tonight Show!
I didn't even realize it until one doctor came out in scrubs, instead, and I started breathing again.

:scared:

Whew!

Is there therapy for this?

:crazy:

1. My dear KC2!

I'd say you definitely have it, sweetie!

That sounds fairly extreme, actually...

Therapy?

There has to be....

But I don't know what it is...

Be well, OK?

:hug:

2. My sister, the nurse, also said I had it...

...but I was in denial until tonight.

But to get it from just TV? jeez...

I may never be able to go back to a doctor!!

:scared:

3. Of course, you will go back to your doctor!

Remember that s/he is just another highly skilled person who eats, shits, sleeps, bathes, and gets dressed much as you and I do!

You'll get over it...

You have to!

:hug:

4. Thanks Peggy

I'm sure you're right. Well, not sure at the moment... but we do what we have to do...

Thanks. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. We certainly do what we must...

Our lives depend on it, after all...

Anytime, sweetie.....anytime at all...:hug:
