Yes. In fact in hospital we call it "dumping syndrome"
This happens especially frequently before long holidays like CNY
Young people bring their elderly parents to A+E insisting that they have some kind of severe illness and needs to be hospitalised for at least 1 week.
When we doctors tell them there is nothing wrong with their parents, they get angry and kick up a huge fuss.
They basically will not leave until we agree to let them dump their parents in hospital while they go on their overseas vacation.
Dumping Syndrome. It's real.
