What's the opposite of hypochondriac?

Any of these sound like what you're looking for?

In some cases, 'denial' is probably more appropriate, depending on the root of the aversion. But iatrophobic is probably most technically correct. If you want to see good reasons for iatrophobia, check my most recent (but still not very, and somewhat lengthy and rambling) post. I'll caution you that there is some pretty serious squick potential there (but you might get a smile or two in other places).

Hypopathophobia? Hippocratophobia? Nosocomephobia? Pharmacophobia? Tapinophobia? Tomophobia? Toxicophobia? Trypanophobia? Eupepsiphobia? Hygeiaphobia? Vitaphobia?

I have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, macroxenoglossophobia, and sesquipedalophobia; you have no idea how hard that was for me to type. How about ortographobia (did I spell that right)?

I hope you didn't mind me disturbing you on your cell when I thought you were at A'con.
