Doctors offices give me so much anxiety

Being a woman trying to get a diagnosis is hard enough. It was worse when my dad was very anti doctor when I was growing up. “They just want your money. Don’t go unless you are bleeding out.” The number of times his knife would slip and he’d cut his finger deep to enough to see bone and all he did was wash it with water and super glue it together before getting back to whatever he was doing.

So even though I’ve been having issues for as long as I can remember my family always told me it was fine. Now I have so much anxiety every time I go to the doctor. My girlfriend has convinced me to start trying to figure out what is going on. I can’t seem to get past this anxiety though.
