While I admit that Münchhausen Syndrome is not trauma, there are numerous ED & CVT folks on this list.  

I would like to refer you to a recent article in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery:  Münchhausen Syndrome Simulating Aortic Dissection (Ann Thorac Surg 2006;81:1497-9) with the follow-up letters AnnThoracac Surg 2006;82:1948-54, as I believe that I could have recently had the opportunity to see this patient.  According to the article and letters, he has at the very least visited ED's in RI, VA, TX, CT, NJ, CA, MI, and NC.  May I add that the individual I saw presented with typed results of an MRI obtained in PA, and presented with history similar as reported in the Annals here in NY.
