Asthma
I've been asthmatic since the age of five, and suffered without incident until the age of 12. I've ended up being carted off to casualty on an annual basis since then.

On each trip I've been treated brilliantly. I get seen within half an hour and am usually off home within 2 hours.

But the best part is that I have an excuse to make an appointment to see my rather yummy GP. Who hasn't yelled at me about not having my smear test yet, unlike scary female doctor.

erm...
you really should have a smear test. They're not just for shits and giggles.

I
did go for a test, but it hurt so much it has put me off trying again. I know I should get it over with sooner rather than later. Just need to work up the courage.

ask around, see who your friends or family recommend to do it.
Practice or Family Planning nurses are often very good at smear tests, much better than doctors. They get more practice.
