Having an anxiety disorder myself, I do understand *scared stiff*.
Please ask your doctor, the nurses, and other staff with whom you come in contact any questions you have on your mind. Also tell them about your anxiety, there may be something they can do to help. For me it has always helped to let others know just what I am feeling, it sort of diffuses some of the stress.
