A number of years ago a friend of mine had an elderly neighbor like that. She'd come over every day and complain of some ailment or other that necessitated someone helping her with this or that. One afternoon her children came to visit (they came very rarely), and my friend happened to mention that he though the old girl was a hypochonriac. A few months later the neighbor died. When the children came by to take care of the estate my friend asked what had happened. The son, without a moment's hesitation replied. "She died of what you said she didn't have." Cold very cold, but we've both laughed about it ever since.
