I'll add my experience with MSbP. Short version

As health student was in kids hospital. We do rounds in the morning multidisciplinary team. Go to each patients bedside and talk about case, causes, treatments etc.

One kid has mom giving the details. A lot of details. And she is sort of excited. I notice this because my mom is a narcissist and loved the attention when I was sick injured. Red flags everywhere.

So this kid has rare genetic disease Version 1. one like million. literally like 30 pple in US have it. He Also another rare disorder that's 1 in 100k And another. And allergic to all known pain relievers except Tylenol. And a list of other things. All highly unusual. Odds were astronomical. her face 😀 😄

Alarms and bells. I told preceptor this was very bad situation .As a student i had the time to dive in and completely review chart. everything was self reported or brought from her home records. Some she said ,were sealed bc she was suing hospital for negligence. (Always a story from her about her being a victim and a hero and so brave to fight the system)

So. I was able to find other places she had been. Other cities and states, in Michigan California Wisconsin Texas Arizona Florida and Kansas (originally from)

Her first son died from the 1 in 100k version. There were news stories. They raised a lot of money. Every pic of him in the hospital was him miserable and her smiling. A lot. a year later her second son had the same symptoms. and then discovered he had super rare genetic disorder. Self reported (FYI u don't self report genetic disorders)

She had a trail of churches taking her in and paying. Catholic. Methodist. Baptists. Several non denominational. She was at the time being taken in by a church group that glared angrily at us whe. They brought her food. Not her son he was allergic to salt, pepper, mayo, eggs, fish, meat..... ... ... ... poor mom.

Every needle prick. Every procedure everything always done with lots of pain. She always was there to hold him down. She got a lot of sympathy. You poor thing hes in so much pain😃

By now I had gotten my preceptor and two nurses on it. We were trying to get meeting with admin. We knew she was a flight risk but also the threat of a lawsuit against us was high.

So I tracked down other hospitals. Some good guesses. Some by tricking the system . And some because as a student i knew a lot of other students at those hospitals and a lot of talk on the downlow.

Some couldn't talk and would say ,we can't talk unless police allow us.. but again basically she would put her kid thru hell. Get attention money and sympathy. she'd threaten lawsuit. More attention. But as soon as cops investigate she'd be a fart on the wind. rinse repeat.

So kid was also having severe issues overnight. Coding. Suffocating. Nothing made sense except for "rare genetic disease" 😃 she was always in the room. Alone. (Not unusual. Parents stay nurses go home)

By now a doctor also was near convinced. procedures were being halted. Mom was getting upset. She insisted. Then threatened. church group came in and did a vigil. And were threatening and "going to the news but the mom wanted to give us one last chance"

So. We tested the kid for MRSA nasal swab. (Those 99% come back positive. ) and he was. And so we told mom the huge risk he was in. 😃 he would get a very special room and have lots of specialists 😁 untreated he could die 😄

Well. So happens the room is also monitored include video. She was caught doing things evil things while he slept and while the new night nurse was away for 5 minutes. Kid might not have made the night or another 2 nights.

So arrested. Lots of things carefully happened. Local church dropped her. We got some apologies from people who knew she was evil but they thought it was money scam. There was a lot more than just that. But over time.. kid recovered what he could. Wasn't allergic to anything. No meds. No food. Also no genetic diseases. Turns out, different fathers and dad was carrier on first kid. This kid was perfectly healthy. I left but still kept in touch with staff

And yeah. This is the short version.

Women are the only reported perpetrators of Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP), in which a parent knowingly creates or exaggerates physical symptoms in a child.

Gender-sensitive family systems theory, theories of women's psychological development, and theory relevant to the intergenerational transmission of child abuse are applied to explain why women are more vulnerable than men to developing MSP.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy: Another women's disorder?

Munchausen syndrome... By proxy?

Isn't that redundant?
