VIENNA (AFP) - A 59-year-old Austrian man has been arrested for faking illnesses and injuries so that he could live rent-free in hospitals for the past two years, police announced on Tuesday.
The man, who has been unemployed for 21 years, faked so many injuries and illnesses that he was able to stay in a total of 93 different hospitals since 2005, local police in Muerzzuschlag in Styria said in a statement.
His scam was estimated to have cost the Austrian healthcare system as much as 100,000 euros (147,000 dollars) in bed and board during the period, the police said.

His behaviour was a real headache for the Austrian authorities.

I wonder if he threw up a fit when they captured him?
-
I hope that this is a one off. I wouldn't want this sort of behaviour transplanted to other countries. :-)

I think it is vital that they punish him. I wouldn't want him to nurse the system of some other country.

Well now he's been caught lets hope he gets a taste of his own medicine.

I think he should be shot!

He's quite the pill isn't he?

i swear, if it wasnt an Aussie, I'd swear it was a family member of mine from Dallas... that guy is always being 'written up' in some medical journal and then spontaneously recovers.
its a bunch of hooey followed by "its a miracle!"

...bet the guy was a real pill while he was in the hospital. :-)

Feed him a daily dose of rotten food until he gets a good case of food poisioning. I guarantee that kind of punishment would make a believer out of him.
