How could the hospitals disclose that information? What about patients' privacy rights?
We can't even see the President of the United States' birth certificate.
Who were these cancer deniers?
“Munchausen syndrome” and “Munchausen syndrome by proxy,” where a parent claims that their child is ill.
For a gift certificate at Hair Team for Men?
My teenage daughter HAD a friend that supposedly had some kind of terminal cancer. At first we were sympathetic but after a short while somewhat suspicious because of the lack of symptoms. Her friend would use the cancer thing for major sympathy and CONTROL as far as using it as an excuse to get out of doing what she didn’t want to do. She used the whole “remission” thing as an excuse as to why she didn’t appear sick.
My daughter broke off the relationship after a year or so (due to a lot of factors) and now (2 years later) we hear her friend is pregnant and going to get married. Kinda’ sad that she had to resort to that kind of manipulation of her friendships.
“She was recently indicted on charges of theft and conspiracy”
Just curious here... How do they get to “theft”? Think about it. Accepting donations (albeit under false preteneses) is not exactly therft per-se, is it?
I’m gonna have cancer tonight!

"The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school."
The car and breasts only cost $40,000. She wasted the rest.
