Best Answer

Richard Angel, the Long Island, NY nurse had what is known as Munchausen by proxy. In short, he drugged patients to create emergencies so he could resusitate them and be a hero. Munchausen was named after Baron Von Munchausen who diagnosed the condition as a person that hurts themselves for attention. The 'by proxy' means to hurt another to gain attention. Little was known about this syndrom that usually afflicts a person in a 'caregiver' position such as mothers or nurses.
