Prose And Cons

Really A Sick Individual

An unemployed conman lived in Austrian hospitals for three years after tricking more than 90 clinics into admitting him with fake illnesses. The man, 59, from Muerzzuschlag, treated the hospitals like a hotel and stayed in 93 across the country. But he was caught out when he claimed he had been suffering from dizzy spells after being knocked off a motorbike. Doctors grew suspicious when they could find no other injuries and checked with other hospitals.
