Q pointed us toward understanding the concept of projection. I think I may have an example that pertains to our medical care system.
I have a link to a Cleveland Clinic piece on "Factitious Disorder imposed on Another" which used to be called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

Here are some quotes from the piece: "People with FDIA have an inner need for the other person (often his or her child) to be seen as ill or injured." (Referring to the medical diagnosis reference): "It describes this diagnosis to include falsification of physical or psychological signs or symptoms, and induction of illness or injury to another associated with deception." "People with FDIA might create or exaggerate the child's symptoms in several ways. They might simply lie about symptoms, alter diagnostic tests (such as contaminating a urine sample), falsify medical records, or induce symptoms through various means such as poisoning, suffocating, starving and causing infection."
Very interestingly this condition is not associated with a desire for financial gain (which would be a potentially "understandable" motive, imo) but seems to be associated, if I understand correctly, with emotional gratification of some type including maybe getting a social reputation as a good caregiver.
Now compare this condition with the story of Janene Jones, a serial killer who was convicted of a couple of murders but who may have actually killed many more small children.

The reported motive for her crimes was (according to the footnoted information in Wikipedia): "Jones claimed she was trying to stimulate the creation of a pediatric intensive care unit in Kerrville."
Is much of our "health care" system designed by people who have a sick desire for control and/or a desire to appear like white coated experts and "saviors"?
