Iatrophobia: No. It is sensible. You're vulnerable and must trust us not to make serious mistakes. To be brave, act brave. To get the best care, be well-informed yourself -- read the best evidence-based sources, and learn to tell the truth from lies. Remember we're obligated by law to be honest, unlike the internet hucksters. In the end, we can be trusted, mostly. Best wishes.
