The real debilitating phobia I have had most of my life is of blood/injury and illness (to others not me) although I have had to deal with that in recent years.”

Doc Martin has the same thing Ann, I hope that you are in good fettle at the moment.

Ha yes, I'm fine, thanks! But I didn't go into medicine because of the phobia (I don't see how a real Doc Martin could survive). But as you get older, family and friends get ill/have accidents and so you can't avoid it in the end.
