IATROPHOBIA is defined as "an abnormal or irrational fear of doctors or going to the doctor." Its synonym is "medicophobia," i.e., "[t]he fear of or aversion to medical professionals or procedures." About 3 percent of the population suffers from it, but its causes are rarely examined when it comes to scholarly research. Not surprisingly, little has been written written about the topic. Among the notable focused articles on iatrophobia are Jacob Olesen, "Fear of Doctors Phobia – Iatrophobia," on FEAROF.net and Lisa Fritscher, "Understanding Iatrophobia or Fear of Doctors."
