FAKED ILLNESS FOUND A NEW HOME ONLINE 💻
FOR MOST OF HISTORY A FAKED ILLNESS NEEDED A HOSPITAL
IT NEEDED A REAL BODY IN A REAL BED
THE INTERNET REMOVED BOTH
IN 2000 THE PSYCHIATRIST MARC FELDMAN GAVE THE PATTERN A NAME
MUNCHAUSEN BY INTERNET
HE DESCRIBED PEOPLE WHO FAKE SERIOUS ILLNESS IN ONLINE SUPPORT GROUPS
ALL TO HARVEST SYMPATHY AND ATTENTION
A SUPPORT GROUP RUNS ENTIRELY ON TRUST
IT ASKS FOR NO PROOF
NOBODY CAN DRAW YOUR BLOOD OR READ YOUR CHART THROUGH A SCREEN
SO THE FAKER BUILDS A WHOLE SICK LIFE
OUT OF POSTS AND PHOTOS AND UPDATES
SOME INVENT A CANCER THAT NEVER EXISTED
OTHERS STAGE THEIR OWN DEATH
THEN LOG BACK IN AS A GRIEVING RELATIVE
TO KEEP THE SYMPATHY FLOWING
THE PAYOFF IS NO LONGER JUST A DOCTORS CONCERN
NOW IT IS CLICKS AND DONATIONS AND A WHOLE FOLLOWING
A Quick Shoutout To Our Sponsor: TIGER DATA
Here's What They Have For You 🐯
👇🏻
Postgres Didn't Fail You. Your Architecture Did.
Adding a second database was supposed to fix things. Now you manage sync, drift, and pipelines on top of queries that are still slow.
TimescaleDB extends Postgres instead. Hypertables, 95% compression, continuous aggregates. One database. No pipeline.
THE GYPSY ROSE CASE THE INTERNET COULD NOT LOOK AWAY FROM 🎬
CLAUDDINE DEE DEE BLANCHARD
TOLD THE WORLD HER DAUGHTER WAS DYING
FOR YEARS SHE CLAIMED
GYPSY ROSE HAD A LONG LIST OF DISEASES
SHE DID NOT HAVE
THIS IS FACTITIOUS DISORDER IMPOSED ON ANOTHER
ONCE CALLED MUNCHAUSEN BY PROXY
DEE DEE CONTROLLED EVERY DOCTOR VISIT
EVERY STORY THE PUBLIC HEARD
THEN IN JUNE 2015
AT THEIR HOME IN SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI
DEE DEE WAS KILLED
GYPSY ROSE HAD PERSUADED HER BOYFRIEND
TO STAB HER MOTHER
SHE LATER PLEADED TO SECOND DEGREE MURDER
SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS
PAROLE CAME IN DECEMBER 2023 AFTER ROUGHLY EIGHT YEARS INSIDE
THEN A STORY OF YEARS OF ABUSE BECAME A PRODUCT
DOCUMENTARIES A SCRIPTED SERIES PODCASTS AND A RED CARPET RETURN
TURNED HER SUFFERING INTO A FRANCHISE
THE SAME PUBLIC THAT WAS FOOLED BY THE FAKE ILLNESS
THEN PAID TO WATCH IT AS ENTERTAINMENT

WHAT THE STOLEN TRUST ACTUALLY COSTS 💸
EVERY FAKE PATIENT SPENDS REAL RESOURCES
SOMEONE ELSE NEEDED
FABRICATED CASES BURN HOSPITAL BEDS
LAB TESTS AND DOCTOR HOURS
ONLINE THE VICTIM IS THE COMMUNITY ITSELF
WHEN A FAKE CANCER PATIENT IS EXPOSED
THE REAL SUFFERERS GET DOUBTED NEXT
TRUST IS THE ONE THING A SUPPORT GROUP CANNOT REPLACE
ONCE IT IS GONE
FAMILIES PAY THE STEEPEST PRICE OF ALL
CHILDREN LIKE GYPSY ROSE
GROW UP INSIDE A LIE ABOUT THEIR OWN BODIES
BY THE TIME ANYONE BELIEVES THEM
THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE
