[quote=Anonymous]I've had a patient with Munchausens. Factitious disorder is actually really hard to realize. Pretty much the only reason my hospital picked up on it was because she was being refused at all other hospitals in the area and didn't have the means to travel outside our state. And my hospital didn't refuse patients except in rare circumstances. So after years of her coming in, the pieces started coming together and it became clear. It's not as simple as saying "oh I'm having stomach problems". She would injest substances to cause stomach problems so that she needed at the very least, exploratory surgery. When she had a Port, she injected herself with other substances (she eventually got caught doing this) so she would get sick. I could write pages of all the ways she fooled us. So yeah, it is actually pretty easy to get away with it if you're smart about it, which her mom obviously was. [/quote]
