Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. it's a mental illness where the woman uses her child to get attention from doctors and others in the medical field.
This is an excellent book I have read on the subject: http://www.juliegregory.com/sickened.htm

Fabricated and Induced Illness (Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy)
In FII a caregiver, usually the mother, feigns or induces an illness in another person, usually her or his child, to gain attention and sympathy as the "worried" parent. Although Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) cases with feigned or induced physical illness receive the most attention, it is also possible in parents who emotionally abuse their child, then claim psychiatric and/or genetic problems. FII is a form of child abuse.

Munchhausen by Proxy. Generally they enjoy all the attention and support they get from the doctors, nurses, etc. It isn't always medical conditions sometimes parents fake psychiatric conditions in their children and have brainwashed the child to believe it too.

it's sad, but it's a very real mental health defect. Some women like the attention they get by taking care of a sick child.
It's definately not healthy for child or mother.

It's a mental disorder called, Munchhausen's disease by proxy, or Munchhausen syndrome.
Where a parent or care giver will deliberately cause an injury or illness either to themself or to someone else, so that they can become the center of attention in the ensuing drama.

It is a psychological syndrome called Munchausen by proxy. People harm others, usually their children, because it brings them attention.
It is incredible to think that a person would harm their child just to get sympathetic comfort from others.
