Someone who uses your medical struggles for clout.
"Becky commented on my Facebook post about my struggle with chemo, so I asked her if she wanted to hang out. She left me on read. She's nothing but a grief tourist."

"Sandra posted about my surgery without my permission and said it's 'so hard' for her to watch me go through this."
