Answers:
Yes it is possible!. There was a case in Butte, Montana, where a woman was making return visits to the emergency room complaining of pain!. They started to think she was faking to get the pain medication!. They started giving her placebos instead of the real thing!. She ended up dying because her very real condition went untreated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
