It happens to every medical student sooner or later. You get a cough that persists for a while. Ordinarily, you would just ignore it--but now, armed with your rapidly growing medical knowledge, you can't help worrying. The cough could mean just a cold, but it could also be a sign of lung cancer.
For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens of thousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awful disease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that there's nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn't have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris .or her worst fears.
Hypochondriacs don't harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Although they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria (网络疑病症).
According to the passage, if you suffer from hypochondria, ______.
A. you must be a medical student, or a medical worker
B. you are haunted by a possibly inexistent disease
C. you will never get rid of this disease
D. you always tell funny stories at dinner parties

W: Calm down sir! Now, what do you want to report?
M: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting.
W: A what?
M: An unidentified flying object!
W: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw.
M: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 a. m. , when I saw this bright light overhead.
W: Okay. And then what happened'?
M: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me.
W: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane, or the headlights of an approaching car. Things like that happen, you know.
M: Well if it was that, how de you explain "the BEAST"?
W: What do you mean, "the BEAST" ?
M: Okay. I kept driving for about five minutes when all of a sudden, this giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car.
W: Well, that's the best story, I've heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party.
M: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the truth. I'm not crazy.
