O tym odcinku

Have you ever felt anxious about going to see the doctor? Maybe the thought of a needle or having a tooth pulled makes you tense. Well that's pretty common but for some people, the fear of medical appointments goes much deeper and it can lead to what's become known as FOFO. The colloquial abbreviation stands for a Fear Of Finding Out, and it’s usually used in relation to a person's fear of discovering they have a health problem.
