And they wonder why people don’t go to the dentist or the doctor. “Here. let us inflect great amounts of pain, considerable inconvenience, large expense … oh, and not actually fix the problem that you went to have looked after in the first place.”
I can actually recall a time as small child when I didn’t mind going to the dentist or the doctor … it meant toys and chewing gum and stuff. But now I have full fledged white coat phobia … and I am NOT a guy that gets phobic easily.
Maybe you should just tie a string around it and tell Irene to give it a good yank 😀
