Iatrophobia is phobia of doctors and we think that when doctors have phobia of doctors, it may very well be pseudo-iatrophobia. The question becomes whether their fears deterring them to access healthcare facilities for their own selves are so irrational that they may be appearing as true fears to them per true iatrophobia until and unless rationality eventually overcomes their irrational fears thus allowing them to overlook their false fears per pseudo-iatrophobia before accessing healthcare facilities for their own selves without further ado. Simplistically, prevalences and etiopathogenesis of true iatrophobia and pseudo-iatrophobia among physicians must be decoded so that the healers may be appropriately healed as well after having addressed their concerns which may be preventing them from timely seeking healthcare for their own selves.
