even WORST... MunchausenBIPROXY SyndroME.... THIS IS WHERE YOU PRETEND OTHERS ARE ILL FOR ATTENTION (CHILDREN MOSTLY) OR EVEN MAKE THEM ILL FOR ATTENTION! UNFORTUNATELY, I KNOW SOMEONE WHO SERIOUSLY HAS THIS PROBLEM. WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT SHE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL EVERY WEEK WITH A NEW SYMPTOM AND SENT HOM EVERY TIME. ONCE HER BABY WAS BORN SHE PRETENDED HE WAS SICK OVER AND OVER AND EVEN WENT AS FAR AS HAVING TUBES PUT IN HIS EARS AND ALMOST HAVING HIS TONSILS TAKEN OUT BECAUSE SHE SAID THEY WERE CONSTANTLY BOTHERING HIM. ANYTIME SOMEONE IN OUR OFFICE WAS SICK OR THEIR CHILD WAS SICK SHE WOULD IMMEDIATELY SAY HER SON WAS SICK ALSO. SHE IS NOW PREGNANT WITH A SECOND CHILD AND IT IS MUCH WORST. SHE HAS BEEN AT THE HOSPITAL CONSTANTLY (ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK) FAVING BLEEDING OR CONTRACTIONS. OF COURSE THEY KEEP SENDING HER HOME BUT SHE IS TRYING TO PUT HERSELF INTO LABOR EARLY FOR THE ATTENTION. SHE KNOWS THE RISKS HER BABY IS AT IS SHE IS BORN PREMATURE AND SHE THINKS THIS WILL GET HER ATTENTION. SHE EVEN HAS TOLD ME AND OTHERS THAT SHE WONT LET HER HUSBAND GET FIXED INCASE HER BABY DIES. SHE NEEDS HELP BUT NO ONE CALLS HER OUT ON IT. IT'S SCARY AND I WORRY ABOUT THESE KIDS.
