I have some kind of tumor in my throat. I spent a year debating whether to bother with going to the doctor. I didn't trust doctors before covid; now it is something beyond mistrust.
After 18 months of this tumor growing and starting to create some serious discomfort, I finally went to urgent care to see what they could find out. And, of course, they couldn't tell me a damn thing. They told me I would need a specialist. The specialist is booked 5 months out.
That was 4 months ago. I've been debating whether to bother going to this specialist in October or just deal with having a fucking tumor in my throat. We can thank our government for getting rid of so many medical professionals during covid so that you have to wait 6 months to see someone about a tumor with high chance of morbidity.
Anyway, I guess that was a long way of saying I 100% agree with your statement. If I do go in, they'll probably do something to kill me or make this shit worse.

Vlad has good advice. Not all docs are bad yet. We have to wait for the boomers and gen x to die off and gen z to take over.
At least getting diagnostics (x-ray etc) would be helpful and you can choose your course of action.
