N2  - The arrival on the hospital ward of a person who was fabricating an illness was an unsettling experience for the medical and nursing staff involved. As the patient was expected only to be present for a short time and claimed to have a proven diagnosis, the approach may have been less rigorous than usual. The article describes the experience of three members of staff with a patient who proved to have Munchausen's syndrome, and their reaction to discovering the truth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
