Summary: Andy opens with an everyday illustration of how some people never update their picture of someone with a long-term illness, then explains Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy, where a parent or carer induces or fabricates illness in a child. He covers how it is defined in legal terms, why a child may be removed from a carer, and how a carer can attract sympathy and attention.
