Brief Answer: You should not be! Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for being so open to let me know you are scared. Hospitals are the safest places to go to. No one would judge you for any reasons and they would provide a shoulder for you to lean on in difficult times. Your doctors would never do any such thing to scare you from coming to the hospital. Remember they are actually there for you and would in no way want to send you away lest they are no longer interested in doing their job which is not an option for any dedicated medical staff. Feel free and walk in there knowing you are the king and everything would just settle. No need to get so scared. Thanks. Dr. Ivo, MD.
