🌈 Are We Avoiding the GP Out of Fear? Let’s Talk About It 🎯
Have you ever hesitated before making that doctor’s appointment? 🕰️ Does the thought of hearing “bad news” send shivers down your spine? ❄️ You’re not alone! Many people dodge their GP appointments, not because they’re too busy, but because they’re afraid of finding out that something might be wrong. 😨 Let’s explore this intriguing phenomenon together.

Imagine this: You’re standing in front of a mirror 🌺, and the reflection says, “Time for a check-up.” But instead of calling your GP, you distract yourself—cleaning the house 🧹, binge-watching your favorite show 🎬, or diving into social media 📱. Why? Because the idea of bad news feels like an unwanted plot twist in your life story. 🎭
