Chapter 7 The Man Who Is Always Sick
A woman staggered into a hospital in central New York, clutching her stomach with her left hand, a pained expression on her face, and blood pouring from her mouth.People speculated about what terrible things had happened to her.

She told the doctor who treated her what happened.She said a man had seduced her, then tied her up, beat her and threatened to kill her if she handed over anything of value.She now has stomach pain, left lower body pain, and headache.

The nurse quickly arranged various examinations for her, but no physical problems were found, and the pain points she described were not traumatic or internal.But why is she bleeding?The doctor was puzzled.

Since there was no conclusion and the woman's bleeding continued, she had to be hospitalized.A few days later, the nurse finally inadvertently revealed the mystery.

It turned out that when the nurse was making the woman's bed, she found a needle, a syringe and some anticoagulant heparin.This is the answer!The reason why she couldn't find out what's wrong with this woman was because her body had no problems at all. All the injuries and physical pains she suffered seemed to be fabricated by her, and the reason why she kept bleeding was because of Because she secretly injected herself with anticoagulants, she lay down in the intensive care unit of the emergency department for several days, and judging by her appearance, it seemed that she planned to lie down like this forever.

When the doctor ordered her to stop the drug and was about to arrange her to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, the woman became a little hysterical. She strongly denied all the allegations. She said that those things were not hers at all, but that someone was going to blame her.If no one believed her here, she would search everywhere to find a doctor who could cure her.

Later, the woman still left, but the doctor who treated her heard that a few days later, she went to two other hospitals respectively, and was admitted in the same way, but was soon found out because of "cheating". " and was forced to leave.

Imagine, and force yourself to be sick?Even if you are not sick, you have to toss yourself to get sick in order to confirm your imagination?Readers may say that this is simply a mental problem.That's right, for this woman to show such symptoms, she did have some mental problems.But she is definitely not an exception.

Julie is a 13-year-old girl.A very normal girl.But Julie's mother kept taking her to visit the cardiovascular department of the hospital. She insisted that Julie was born with congenital heart disease.

Since she was a child, she has undergone a large number of X-ray examinations and other operations that are detrimental to her health. The reason is that her mother took her to the hospital and described Julie's various "heart attack" symptoms to the doctors. .The doctors had to conduct some routine examinations and pathological screenings on Julie, but the results showed that all the indicators of the child's body were normal.

But her mother was not forgiving.At the age of 13, Jolie was forced to undergo an invasive medical procedure - a heart catheterization - after her mother urged doctors to "get to the bottom of it".When the results came out and the doctor told Julie's mother that "the test results have routine limitations", she asked the doctor to conduct a more invasive examination for Julie, which was rejected by the doctor.

Unexpectedly, Julie's mother started arguing in the hospital. "Is this what your doctors can do? Are you just throwing this hot potato at me? Are you worthy of working here if you can't even find out what's wrong with a 13-year-old kid?"

When her mother said these hurtful words hysterically, Julie hid behind her, her eyes full of sadness and fear. I think she must also know that there is nothing wrong with her, but she doesn't know why her mother is so stubborn. He didn't hesitate to hurt his daughter, he didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money, and he had to take her around for inspection until it was proved that she was a "child who was dying of illness".

"How many times have I told you that my daughter is sick, she is just a child, but she is sick, very sick, and you are not willing to save her? Well, you will regret it when you When you see this child die in front of you, you will definitely regret it!"

The mother's voice was very piercing in the hall of the hospital. Many times, Julie wondered if this was her biological mother. Could it be that her mother had to put herself to death to be happy?

What happened to them?I believe many people will ask such questions.A woman who lied about being raped, does she like the feeling of lying on the pale bed sheet in the hospital that smells like disinfectant?Or was she just a poor homeless wretch with a modicum of medical knowledge who knew how to make herself "look very sick" so she wouldn't leave the hospital?

So what happened to Julie's mother?Is she the legendary "stepmother"?How much hatred can she have for Julie, so that she forces the child to undergo such a physical examination that is very harmful to the body?In other words, what result does she want to achieve by making such unreasonable troubles?Does she have to prove that the child is dying before she can breathe a sigh of relief?

Because of these many questions, medical and psychological research can continue.

In fact, the above two cases belong to the so-called Manchuusson syndrome in clinical science.The latter is more serious and belongs to the incident of child abuse, known as the guardian's Manchuusson syndrome.

The brain-burning logic of a genius or a madman
Manchusen's syndrome is named after an 18th-century baron named Manchuusen.He was also a German army officer, and in order to amuse his friends, he often told his friends some thrilling but ridiculous adventures about himself, but it turned out that these were all made up by him.

In idiom, Manchusenism refers to those who are used to telling very exaggerated stories.Manchuusson's syndrome is a clinical term, which refers to patients who fabricate or exaggerate the extent of their illness to doctors and lie.Patients with Manchuusson's syndrome move from one hospital to another, using lies to make themselves receive unnecessary, painful and even risky treatment, but they never tire of it.
