You're probably looking for "psychosomatic" for the word there, although hypochondriac may work too - and yeah, most drug reps are douche bags, there's been a massive push in the pharmaceutical industry to hire/train younger reps and pay them better, in an attempt to pull out college grads instead of used car salesmen. They are trying to go compassionate and interested in public health and ethical concerns, rather than pure profit-driven market techniques - obviously it's not quite working yet, but I know that myself and quite a few others I know were aggressively contacted by some headhunters for pharma sales jobs. It's a weird ass industry, kids.
