The Girl Who Cries Blood

Wasted 1 hr of my time watching this documentary on okto channel just now. It was a bizarre case of a 13 yr old Indian girl, Twinkle, who cries blood, instead of normal tears. It was pretty shocking and scary to see her face smeared with blood during the tv show and at first I sympathise with her rare medical condition. However, the doctor who treated her concluded that it could be a case of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy. (ha i know what this is! Learnt it from abnormal psych!) It is this syndrome in which the caregiver intentionally induces symptoms into the person under the caregiver's care. So the doctor concluded that, Twinkle's mother, intentionally smeared blood onto Twinkle's face, although both mother and daughter were frustrated and upset when being questioned about the origin of the blood. There were no wounds on Twinkle, yet her head has blood. And no one has actually witnessed it when Twinkle cries blood, except for her mother. Twinkle came to the hospital with blood smeared on her face. Could be just a hoax. The documentary ended with this abrupt ending in which the doctor said they need to observe twinkle for 24 hours to see the actual blood-crying. Yep, i was expecting a part 2 of the documentary for a further explanation. Yet, the show just ended! BOO. So i guess it was all a hoax and they didn even want to show part 2. Perhaps the mom confessed after that. Ha.
