coulrophobia
phobia of clowns of which i share with you.
my youngest is in Great Ormond Street Hospital a lot and they have 'clown doctors' roaming the wards and corridors. Whenever I see one I cross over and make sure there is no eye contact. When one threatened to come into the side ward we were in, I nearly lost it shouting at it and telling the evil creep to get away from me and my daughter, the nurses had to be called and noted that no clown doctors are to admitted to the ward whenever we are in, I have spoken to many people there including staff and no-one likes them, none, zilch, zero creepy fucks the lot of them. What in fuck are these people thinking??? theodora.org.uk/

Clown Doctors?
Jesus Christ the idea of meeting one of them in the hospital is a terrifying thought.

commiserations for your kid for both having to go to hospital regularly and having the problem of bumping into a clown when in the place

I used to work at GOS.
One of the clowns was convinced I fancied her and therefore took great delight in harrassing me, when the real reason I wouldn't make eye contact was that I'd have started screaming and hit her with a chair.

we were on Rainforest ward when it happened, what possesses anyone in their right mind to think that it will cheer up a child with intestinal failure by waving a few balloons and wearing a garish costume and make up?
I refer you to the case of John Wayne Gacy, notorious serial killer who was also known as the clown killer who would dress up as 'pogo' the clown and 'entertain kids' in hospitals.
