Is there a word for the fear of medical instruments?

There's a Greek-prefix-plus-phobia word for almost everything.

Iatrophobia is a fear of doctors, nosocomephobia of hospitals, pharmacophobia of drugs.

I read recently, however, that these days psychologists just use the pedestrian word for the thing following by, "phobia"; thus, cat phobia, not ailurophobia. Why daunt the already troubled phobic with big words? What if they have a fear of big words? Does hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia really improve matters?

But why not start out by browsing Wiki's long list of phobias?

Latrophobia

Possibly a typo, but a fear of doctors is iatrophobia.

Jo: I doubt if there is but if you haven't already been there you might try

Since there isn't a single generic word for medical instruments (though I suppose zmjezhd is about to correct me on that), I doubt there's a word for fear of them.

Actually don't psychologists these days talk about anxiety complexes or some other term? Isn't 'phobia' a bit old school?

I just snatched that off Google.

But it's probably yet another case of a capital i being mistaken for a lowercase L.

At first I read it as a bad joke: latro, latronis, 'thief'.

You grossly overestimate my logodaedaly!
