Wendy Scott
Wendy Scott (1948, Wemyss, Scotland – 14 October 1999, London) was considered one of the most notable cases of Münchausen syndrome on record, in part because of the severity of her condition and in part because she is a rare case of complete recovery from the syndrome, which many doctors consider untreatable.
