Oh lord have I ever met iatrophobes. One of my most recent patients was one. A young woman, she had an enlarging pelvic mass for which she would not seek attention. It got so large that she and her husband were unable to have sex. He evntually tricked her into going to the gynecologist (and let us give him the benefit of the doubt as to his motives) by telling her they were going to Wal-Mart.
I guess the word "psychiatry" has the "iatro" root as its suffix. i.e. psych + iatro
