They’ve been faking seizures for Valium and Ativan for years, so this really doesn’t surprise me! Haha! I think it’s funny that it was published in the papers!
Had a guy a few years ago that arrived in a cab complaining of chest pain. He had all the right symptoms, chest pain, diaphoretic, and ST changes. He was rushed to the cath lab and found to have less than 20% blockage in any artery.
After a little investigation, he had taken a full bottle of medication, the cab had been from another local hospital (they had paid for it), and he had done this three times before in the local area. They looked at his films from the cath lab and identified him as a patient that had been seen and had a cardiac catheterization for the same large group of doc’s all three times.
Some people will do anything!
I bet he doesn’t pay his ambulance or hospital bill either.
