Answer 1

Answer:

Barry would most likely experience trypanophobia.

Explanation:

Trypanophobia is the fear of various medical procedures, in this case, of needles. Barry is afraid of injections, or a sharp object (like a needle) piercing his skin, regardless of how harmless it may be. He may have had a negative experience in hospitals or just involving sharp objects in his past that made him develop this phobia in the present.

He may experience various symptoms when exposed to a doctor's needle, including dizziness, panic attack, racing heart rate, anxiety, trying to run away from the needle, etc.
