The Munchausen Mystery

After reading this essay about people who deliberately try to act like they are sick to get medical attention both intrgues me, as to why they would do such a thing but also really bothers me. I think it bothers me more because it is bad enouogh that most of the time when I go to the hospital or Doctor's office I get treated like just another patient number with a 'world' full of symptoms to whine about, no matter what the problem is, but now you have these mental patients out there running around acting sick for some kind of attention. It is wrong to say the least. It's not right and should be punishable by law to the fullest extent!!!!!!!!!!
