Amy d. a.k.a. babycakes ALWAYS has warts, some type of severe cough, endometriosis, and cervical cancer (ps-from warts); therefore she is a hypochondriac.
I can't figure out what condition my patient has, and I'm sick of hearing her whine about her "excruciating pain", so I will label her a hypochondriac.
Female, especiallymiddle aged and no longer "hot", who complains of a disease that doctor-magic cannot diagnose and/or treat.
That bitchy old cow in my examining room keeps saying she has heart palpitations but I can't hear any. She's probably lonely and wants attention because her old man can't it up anymore. I guess I can't prescribe that nasty, fat middle-aged hypochondriac the little blue pill for her hubby, though. Her husband might have a heart attack at seeing her naked. My medical training didn't prepare me to deal with a hypochondriac like her. Referral for psychiatry.
