  • I hate them too. Everytime I think of one it sends chills down my spine.

  • SENDING POSITIVE ENERGY B.SCOTT!!!!

  • I know this post is LATER than LATE, but my brother has a deeper fear than you, he won't even go near the hospital. My mother was DYING, and he could not go. It just was not happening, and my mother knew he would not come too. What makes his fear even more strange is that my father died 3 weeks earlier, my mother died 3 weeks after my Dad, you would think he would have went regardless. I have seen him try to go, he literally gets sick and just I can't describe it. So you do have company.

  • IM VERY SRRY ABT UR SIS. BUT IVE HAD SOME BAD EXPRIENCES N HOSPITAL. I WILL KEEP HIM N MY DEEPEST PRAYERS

  • OMG, I highly hate hospitals too. Kinda ironic that my mom is a nurse though, but she knows how I feel. lol

  • im sooooooooooooooooo sorry about ur sis

  • Hospital is a creepy place.When I go 2 visit someone there I get scared

  • Awe. I hate hospitals too. I've had 6 surgeries since I was 5 years old and I just HATE the hospitals. The smell of them .. the cold feeling of them.. the long time in there.. the doctors.. the sick ppl with their germs.. not to mention.. I am soooo scared of elevators.. like no joke. I HATE elevators.

  • i fill yu i hate hospitails too i rather die on my death bed

  • Yes i hate them but I had to recently get over that when my son was diagnosed with diabetes..

  • i hate hospitals too omg,.... =/ i dont really know why to he honest but theres just something about them that makes me sick =S

  • i am like that myself my mother pass away in the er and now i do not go around none of them

  • I know I will.

  • Fellow Love Muffins I wish I knew something that could put you at ease with hospitals, but I cannot think of anything at all 'cause I have myself experience death at hospitals. But I feel that medical is indeed my calling. I want everyone to feel opened to use what is available to them. My heart as a future intern go out to people that have anxiety in the medical care setting. Please we don't know everything, but I do feel that my colleagues have your best interest first and foremost.

  • i do hate hospitals too.. i watched my grandfather take his last breathe in one.

  • b i know what you mean about the hospitals having all of these germs and things but the anxiety i get is going to the dentist

  • Youre not alone. Every since my Mother passed away in the emergency room three years ago I can barely pass by the hospital without all of the memories coming back. Its weird because I thought that I would be over just goin into a hospital without havin a panic attacki and breakin down. But hopefully time heals

  • Me too!! My sis died 8mnths ago grieving is worse than crying. Go whenever you feel like going.

  • I don't particularly like hospitals, however, they are a necessity. I agree about germs, which is why i sit away from sick people, and GermX till the cows come home.

    If you want to get over your fear, you have to decide what's more important, your friend, or the fear. Mind over matter.

  • I hate hospitals because of needles. When I was a kid this nurse wanted to give me a shot...child i was running so fast i knocked over 3 chairs and a coffee tables. Til this day i hate taking shots

  • when i got my first needle I kicked the nurse in her shin a month later she quit :/

  • loooooooooooooooooooool oh my

  • I know the feeling. My brother died in the hospital and that is the last place I saw him. I saw him a week before his 25th birthday and he died two weeks after. I HATE THE HOSPITAL!!!! The smell, the rude nurses, the sick and sad. I can't take it. I know how you feel.

  • It was a tramatic time for you darling. I was hit by a car when I was nine years old. It was in January in the afternoon. I'm 54 now but on a beautiful January afternoon I get this feeling that some bad is going to happen. I am able to drop it though because I know where is it comes from. I don't speak bad things into exsistance. There is power in your words.

  • i used to be deathly afraid of hospitals drs n needles. i was a very sick child n went thru much testin n things n they would tell my fam they didnt kn ow n would have to do more id cry everytime i was even told i had to go to the drs office. i was then diagnosed with a rare type of the blood disease sickle cell anemia which requires hospitalizations docs needles etc every few weeks. i sorta got over the fear but its been replaced wit a new one of livin wit a chronic illness/ bein sick help ne1?

  • not particularly about hospitals.. but i know a lot about anxiety and i can tell you.. u gotta start linking positive feelings with hospital experiences..

    so u can get over your phobia.. righ now u have linked a neg experience.. but u need to build back up the positive ones..

  • Hope he's okay...

    Wolfe

  • Blessings to your friend!

    Double kisses! =3

  • Blessings to ur frend n u...lmao @"I JUST CANT GO THERE TODAY" gosshhh luv u so much

  • I know how ya feel, since i saw my sister die in the hospital emergency room i cant go in a hospital (eventhough im pregnant and will eventually have to go in the one my sister died in) I cant watch a medical show where people flat line, cant see an ambulance without getting teary eyed and etc.

    I know what you're going through B. Im glad im not the only one :)

  • I feel the same way!!! B

  • Hell yeah I 100% Hate Hospitals and Docters

  • definitely. i hate the smell. blessings to your friend.

  • i hate hospitals and dentists.

    ive never been in so much pain than when ive been in the dentists chair.

  • My mother hates hospitals! She gets very nervous and she gets shakey, one time she even started crying in the hospital for no reason i was like omg, wen we left she said its hopsitals she cant do it , she lost too many people in hospitals and she cant stand bein in them. so i kinda understand where ur commin from b. lov ya much double kisses MUAH,MUAH!

  • Don't worry B; you're not the only one that hates hates hates hospitals !

  • yea i'm not deathly afraid of hospitals but i am getting more and more skeptical of common medical practices all the time. there is so much they don't tell us and so much that they know how to do better but they don't because pharmaceutical companies have them in their pockets. *sigh... i'll do a vid about this someday. but in the same token i owe some of my present health to the doctors who performed surgeries on me in the past.

  • i know this is kinda late..lol i am sorry but..SENDING POSITIVE ENERGY..hope your friend gets better..B

    future love muffin for life !

  • I do.. Everytime i need to go they run a heart scan on me because they think theres something wrong as my beat is REALLY high..then i have to pay the bill! but the reason my heart rate is high is cus when i step in the hospital i am overcome with fear and it just beats fast. But after having an emergency and having to stay there for a week, they rly do genuinely want you to get better, theyre great people. But its still just a scary place associated with bad memories :(

  • (continued from previous comment...)

    So even though I hate hospitals I'll just have to deal with it because sickle cell is serious and you're constantly in the hospital for it. My grandmother also recently had a heart attack and I had to be in the hospital with her. It was sooo hard, she just got worse and worse. I couldn't take it anymore so I just went home and stayed at home by myself until she was better. It was very hard but sometimes I just have to deal with it. People get sick sometime

  • I kind of don't like hospitals because when my family was in Memphis, my baby brother (2 months old at the time) got severe brain damage and the hospital tried to hide it from my mother. 6 months later we moved back to Michigan and we thought he would get better treatment but we were wrong. Even though it was hard seeing him die, I went to the hospital every single day, until about 2 days before he died. I still have be at hospitals though because I have an older brother with sickle cell disease

  • me n u have a lot in common....common sense, our on views on life...were both homo's and i hate hospitals as well....scary thing when so many people die in them!! dontcha think?

  • Im sorry about your sister. I am so afraid of hospitals that i have panic attacks. My sister and my mom love the show House and I can't even be in the same room when they watch it. It's sad. I hope that your friend gets better.

  • i hate hospitals as well...the dreams haunt me to this day..i feel you b scott..

  • I bet you are good and dirty if you know what I mean! Love you!Bye Bye!

  • sorry about your sister.

  • omg so am i! since my grandfather dies when i was 4 i have never liked hospitals because they remind me of death and disease. i am also a germaphobe and feel absolutely gross when in a hospital but sometimes i really suck it up if a close friend or family member is in the hospital like when my best friend was in there last yr with dengue fever i was there all night and day with him tho i was sick to my stomach! good vibes at cha when next u have to b there B! xoxo

  • aw im sorri B.. about your sister..

  • Yes, after losing someone at a hospital it is just nerve wrecking to go for any reason.

  • im really sorry about your sister and your friend i hope things are better you really are strong person to deal with something like this

  • People die there 40% of the people in my family are in medicine & Germs are higher there than on a toilet seat...

  • Hospitals are creepy to me! I can go but when a family member is in trouble i just want to go back in time and change things for them.

  • ooh lawdie i can't stand hospitals neither! for some reason everytime I step into a hospital...i twitch. true story lolll

    luv ya b.scott!!

  • dang sorry bout your friend and your sister

  • Im like the exact same im a clean freak and everything i cant even like go near the hospital

  • lool..im a nurse B..so you kinda get used to it.

  • I love you so much! Hospitals make me so sad. :) Much love, darling!

  • im so sorry about ur sister bless ur heart

  • cute ^^

  • if u dont like hospitals your will really go through a thing if you just had to be in the hopital. like for a cheak up of you get sick or something

  • my friend hates the hospital and checmical smell which is lingering in the wards and the hospital itself. i asked her why, because she said many yrs ago when she was 9, i think. her uncle passed away, doctor didnt know why he passed away, till now they still do not have any idea why he passed away. for that she hated hospitals. so b! ure not alone. :D

  • Thats funny im germaphobic too, lol, but yea my sis. is the same way ever since my grandmother went to the hospital and they were going to cut off her leg due to diabetic,my sis hates the hospital, so your not alone. GOD BLESS!!!

  • Oh... well... I can't say that I like hospitals, but maybe it's the experience you had that really makes you hate them. But truthfully A LOT of hospitals ARE depressing... so I kind of agree with you.

  • Good luck with your friend. Hopefully he gets better!

  • Ever since my brother died a month ago I cant do them either and I'm a 14 yr old female... It brings me back memories too....

  • 0Mq !

    u t0o ?!

    my mama stays in dha h0spital .

    && i hate them [wit a passi0n !]

  • i love u too love muffin :)

  • i hate hospitals too!! i completely understand. its weird that hospitals bring back memories from the past. i hope hes alright. but hospitals give me the chills too!! double kisses

  • haha you remind me of my best friend that i havent seen in forever lol.

    she randomly sings what shes talking haha lol

  • Maybe you're scared of hospitals because of the atmosphere. Hospitals are full of sick people and it looks pretty depressing. But when you're there to visit a friend or family member, just concentrate on that rather than the atmosphere. I don't have a problem with hospitals but I know some people who are just like you and I think it's because of the atmosphere.

  • i think it was nice to sleep over the hospitals...

    they come with the food and if it is something u just have to push the butten...

    well i can understand that with ur sister...that u dont like hospitals

  • Aww hunny I feel you Ihate them too and I am sorry about your sister .

  • What happened to your friend?

  • oooo hunny for real i hate hate hospitals doctors mmm mm mm no no no i can't do it eithr everytime someone has a baby or n e thing im just like.....ahhhh i dont wanna go but i have to.... so i do.... and i hate it... evey time.... lol so oo boo i feeel u

  • I am so sorry about your sister that is sad

  • i had a concussion in gr 9..hit my head really hard

    and when i finally came to

    the first thing i heard was a tropica juice comparison to minute maid among the paramedics and the medical office admin ppl and i wished i was still knocked out because that was too much randomness for a injured person to handle

  • i know...the hospital scares the hell out of me to!! i never had a tramatic (whatever) past like B.Scott but i just cant go in them with out thinking about the people passing away or on the verg of passing away!!!

  • i can relate!!

  • I don't hate hospitals but I do hate the dentist, it's so friken scary o.0

  • i hate the smell lol

    to bad ur gay, cuz boi u are fine!! hahaha

  • Hahah,

    im the same way!

    i hate the germs, and the needles

    and all that:p

    lmao

  • i used to be like that but when my brother was realy sick n i thot he was dyin i drove him to the hospital and stayed with him for a week...it should be noted im well below 18 no liscense or anythin i stay alone with my adult brother....the fact is wen you love someone n u have to be there for them u'll overcome any fear wen the time is ryt

  • I HATE HOSPITALS TOO!!!!!! the whole hospital scene reli makes me shiver i guess its all thoughs machines and stuff and the fact that people die in there but just remember it is a place of healing and a place where you get better and stropner and a place where god gives you another chance and i think thats wat gets me to step foot in hospitals. I give you tons of positive energy for your friend and hope he gets better soon!

    LUV YA BABE NEVA CHANGE BOO BOO!!!!!!

  • Your Not Alone B., IM DEATHLY AFRAID, I Start Shivering When I Step Foot In One && I Start Gettin All Paranoid LOL && Super Scared Of Passin By Peoples Rooms & Just Accidently Glancing Over If The Doors Open Cause There Might Be Someone Dead/Dieing In There Lol!!! I No Im Pathetic Hahaha.

    Love u Much B. :)Ox.

  • B.scott our prayers will be always there for your friend, Much love, im not really that afraid of hospitals, but i also feel very uncomfortable in them ..i get a dull & sadenning feeling, Your definitely not alone , Your so beautiful girl.. <33333

  • One thing i dont understand is, you and chris wear womens clothes, make up , and you act really femanine. I have to know, do you ever consider having a sex change or do you want to keep your penis? I'm not getting it, you two are crossdressers?

  • so?

  • I know EXACTLY how you feel.

    I lost my sister in a hospital about a month ago. I was deathly afraid of hospitals even before then, so now i never even want to step foot in there. If i ever get pregnant, there is no baby popping out into that death building, okay?

    You're not alone :)

    Love.

  • hey..i know how u feel..i am terrified of hospitals like deathly afraid.i hate having to go..i just got home from the hospital a few hours ago...hit me up sumtime if u wanna talk..

  • Sorry, but that's a cop out. You Can go sit with him if it's for him and not you. When my best friend died I was terrified of seeing his family and his body. I used to help in a morgue and I have worked in hospitals for 15 years. But I went & did it and told them I don't know what to say or do, I feel so bad...& I almost passed out, but I let people know how I felt. I was 25 then. You can do it. The more you do something, even uncomfortable things, the less it can overwhealm you. Face Ur fears.

  • Ashleigh I agree... if it is for his friend then I am sure his friend would really wish he was there. I think that it's an excuse and you should always face your fears. Even if they seem impossible. I mean if it is someone you care about it should be worth it.

  • : ( Sorry about your loss.

    Love you.

    PS. I love how u call ur fans (im one!) love muffins. Heehee it makes me smile : )

  • Babez..i hate them too! ur not alone!

  • let me tell you b. scott i hate hospitols up till now no one can get me into a hospital since i was old enough to know what a hospitol is i never been to one and my bro is a doctor so like if anything ill go to him but i dis like doctors me and my brother(not the doc the other one) hate them dont know its just a thing from when we were lil .we just cant stand them

  • can positive energy be prayer??

  • Im also a wicked germaphobe and im DEATHLY afraid of needles

  • I never been to a hospitals except when i was born

  • Yeah, I know what you mean. I hate going to hospital, too. It's so scary.

    =Anli=

  • Well I work at a hospital and I have to deal with dead people, and a ton of different cases. I've been there when people are at their worst several times. you just have to learn to get over it.

  • yes i feel u on this hospital are horrible..gainmaster ur a jackass let B. scott express himself and what he do aint ur business why dont u clean ur infested mouth b scott is this best on point diva

  • Why doesn't this homophobic, racist below my post get a life! If you don't like what you see then look the other way and keep it pushing. By the way, you may want to go back to school since you can't even properly spell the word "germ". Knowledge is POWER, OK!!! Anyhow, back to some positivity up in here - love ya B, you're the BOMB!!!

  • The word is *Germs* Maybe you should take sometime off posting hurtful comments and pick up a grammar book that way the next time you try to type a nasty comment at least you won't sound as uneducated as you sounded right now. Good luck on that.

  • I'm a germophob also!! I know what you mean, its really hard to walk into a hospital and feel fine. The air, environment, everything feels so weird..

    ~Sev+

  • i hate hospitals too.. i just get a really horrible feeling when i walk in.. makes me wanna cry :S gosh.. its just one of those things. i hope your friend is/gets better! xxxxx

  • hey love muffin!!!! xxxxxx

  • I pretty much love you, lol your awesome... you don't critasize anyone, and your always smiling...love it ;)

  • hospitals give me panic attacks! and i don't have a reason to hate them .. just hearing kids scream and seeing injuries and the smell ...

    ugh. i'm sorry you had to go there, sweety, but you were there for your friend and that's amazing of you to put up with your fears to help them.

  • hi well i just started watching your videos an ironicly i saw this one actualy I have have an anxiety problem. i get anxiety /panic attacks i cant describe to you what a panic attck is like but its all triggereed by my phobias especialy my fear of puke idk y it scares me but it does so ya i get the whole hospital thing. try to relax drink water chew gum chill out it will be ok ;)

  • b. scott what does teh letter b stand for? ohh and u should face ur fears, and think if u got sick and it was really really bad u woudl have to go to teh hospital.

  • I think you should face your fear head on and go into the hospital. you will never get over the fear unless you face it (thanks to my mom for that one ^.^)

  • It's okay Everybody is afraid of someone

  • I just got out of hospital and i hated every min of it. I just pretended to be better just to get out of there faster. Haha. Love to you and your friend.

  • ugghh...B, i can relate!!!

  • Yes lawd! The thought of germs and just the feeling of being in that sort of enviroment is horrible. U are not alone on that one B!

  • OMG ! IM THE SAME EXACT WAY !

  • i do not like hospital because when mah mom had her last baby (she is 4 months); i go to the hspital to see mah mom and they make her watch the baby syndrome and it makes me cry so i dont like going in hspitals not cause of that but because they are always telling me jokes about what can happen and i dont like im not gonna go there today well luv u much doulbe kisses muah muah byebye

  • Chiiiiild! I know how you feel. I'm terrified of hospitals! I was in the room when my great grandfather AND when my grandmother passed away and since then you will NOT find me anywhere near a hospital unless I'm the one being carted in. And even then I'm not too comfortable with it. I swear I have bad hospital luck and just by me being there I kill people. Hell no, won't find me near one.

  • HOSPITALS ARE THE WORST

  • I HATE THAT ATMOSPHERE!

  • I hate hospitals..

  • I refuse to attend a hospital no matter how hurt or ill I am. My family thinks I'm nuts. but after seeing my grandmother die and my grandfather arrive and receive such poor care.... I refuse to go.

  • Haha I'm a total germaphobe too! I was diagnosed with mild OCD in 05' & I've been going to therapy for it since. It ruins my life, but I've been getting better. OMG. Disinfectant is my bestest friend, I even have the spray for my room and car. My bf thinks I'm nuts sometimes, but I cant help it! Argh.

    As for hospitals, I dont have a phobia of it, but I hate going because doctors never tell you nothin! And when they do, they always end it with "if it doesnt get better, come back" UH NO!

  • I understand. My mother and grandfather were in and out of the hospital before they passed. As a result, I don't care for hospitals. Well wishes to your friend.

  • Sweetie if you love your friend you will think of them first be strong and put your own problems aside. If you love the person. Then go home later and freakout over the situation. It will only make you stronger.

  • I hate the hospital too, I have really bad anxiety attacks whenever i get near there, my mother was in the hospital and i went and it took me over 40 minutes to get to her room because i had to keep stopping, i got up there and visited with her and was crying cause i love my mama, im a mamas girl to the highest, she just told me to not come back case she knowed what it took for me to come, that made me feel bad ya know so i totally understand B.

  • Well, I work in a hospital, so I can't say I hate them :) But, I am behind you 100%, B.Scott!

    Queer folk unite!

  • i dont like hospital either, im not afriad tho its just i dont like hospitals. the only thing they have that i like is there FOOD.... thats about it im not fat. but for some reason there food taste so good. if you ever been in a hospital, you know what im talking about.

  • well, i work at a hospital and their food makes me sick... :(

  • i hate them the smeel the sound of those machines beeping, aw its all just awful I hate them!

  • How's your friend doing???????

    I never thought of hospitals in this way. Now I'm very paranoid about hospitals.

    I'm sorry to hear of your sister passing away.

    ps. positive energy to your friend and to you too!

    we love b. scott all day long!!!!!!!!!

    --tanyetta

  • Yes B.Scott i truly feel u about hospitals and i feel like that because i have been in the hospital alot and had surgerys and had to stay for weeks etc. It is the worse feeling to be sick and away from ur family and friends. U never know if ur going to make it out alright or not or what else might happen while ur admitted. How is ur friend today? I hope feeling better and out of the hospital(emergency).Sorry to hear about ur sister......God bless u

  • I guess having parents in the medical field forced me to be in hospitals more often than most folks, so I don't have a problem with them. However, I know many people who can't stand them for the smell or old memories. I hope ur friend is better by now B Scott!

  • I'm praying for your friend and sending positive energy their way. I'm an RN and work in a hospital, but I can totally understand people who have anxiety about the hospital. It's totally understandable for people to be anxious, because for many hospitals are the place where some people have some of the hardest times in their lives. So sorry this is the case with you B.

  • i don't hate it. i dislike it. ya know.

  • it makes me anxious...all of that bacteria floating around and landing on my mucus membranes...(shivers) sorry about your sister love...and i hope your friend is doing better!!

  • I hate getting shots.Even though after the first 2 seconds it doesn't hurt anymore,I still can't get over the 2 seconds of pain.

  • If you don't mind me asking...how'd your sister pass?

  • I agree.. the only way I can stay in the hospital is if my kids are in there... I can say God has blessed me to not have sickly children. But I totally feel you. The air in hospitals wreaks of sickness and death that you can feel once the double doors open.

    Blessings and Good health to your friend... and you be blessed as well.

  • Positive energy to your friend, and condolences on the loss of your sister

  • Praying for your friend also, and hope he gets better. I too am not a fan of hospitals, especially the emergency room and the emergency room waiting areas. People do not know this but there are more germs in hospitals than on the outside world. But that's why the phobia is there. But I hope all is well.

  • Hey BSCott how is ur friend doing today? Let me know I hope all is well

  • I am praying for your friend. I feel the same way about funerals that you feel about hospitals. I hate sadness and grief. Just the whole feeling of it. So I can understand that. He knows your there.

  • B chris fucken crocker is trying to be you. He got a touch my body video up i was like...you wannabe.

  • Hospitals make me anxious. They are VERY dreary places to me becasue most are their because they are sick in some way NOT becasue they are trying NOT to be!!!

  • Just put all of your trust in HIM and HE'LL bring that fear up out of you HE did it for me. I had a cousin die in '93 at fourteen and we were the same age and I had just a fear of death period and her spirit coming to talk with me and I have come a long way because I slept with my parents for the longest and now the peace of knowing death is a thing that will come and your spirit goes to a resting place is where I'm at now. hold on that fear will go away soon.

  • i hope all is well. i too am not a fan of the hospital.

    ~peace

  • its not so much the hospital for me. its the "HELLEVATORS" lol i cant stand a frickin elevator.
