Dying swan

An overly dramatic female who believes (or is attempting to convince others) they are dying from a usually minor ailment. An expert user of Dr Google, and calling ambulances for transport to hospital, when they have adequate private transport. Able to use a phone to take selfies, whilst complaining of (>/= 15/10) pain to any health/medical professional willing to listen. Usually found in the foetal position, crying with an item (e.g. hand, blanket or clothing) covering their face, whilst talking on the phone. More dramatic then a 2yr old mid tantrum. The female equivalent to the boy who cried wolf...but more exaggerated emotional behaviour.

We have a dying swan in the waiting room. Came via ambulance. Cannot walk due to a productive cough. Believes she is suffering from a life threatening condition.
