These voters are not bad people—they may be pillars of their communities, compassionate and generous to their fellow citizens—but they dislike hearing foreign languages, mistrust cultures other than the native one and assume foreigners are scoundrels and malingerers.

"Feeding such people the lie that their problems are mainly external in origin—that they are the victims of scheming elites, immigrants, black welfare malingerers, superabundantly fecund Mexicans, capitalism with Chinese characteristics, Walmart, Wall Street, their neighbors—is the political equivalent of selling them heroin," Williamson says.

From the time we wrote "Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired: Living With Invisible Chronic Illness" (1992) to the present, people with chronic fatigue syndrome have been too often met by their doctors and family members with skepticism and even judgment that they are malingerers or depressed souls seeking attention.

Imam Sudais prayed for God to protect Prince Mohammed against the international conspiracies being woven against him by the enemies of Islam, the malingerers and hypocrites, and concluded that it was the solemn duty of all Muslims to support and obey the king and the faithful crown prince, the protectors and guardians of the holy sites and Islam.

The test “validation” of the SIMS[1,4] by Smith and Burger[1] proceeded by comparing healthy undergraduates instructed to respond honestly to responses of healthy undergraduates instructed to feign medical or psychological symptoms. As a logical result, the SIMS indeed differentiates persons reporting certain medical symptoms from those who do not, but it fails differentiating malingerers from legitimate patients. Such pseudo-validation does not meet test standards stipulated by the American Psychological Association (APA).[15] Since the purpose of the SIMS is to differentiate malingerers from legitimate patients, the APA standards require a comparison of these two groups to demonstrate that the SIMS indeed differentiates malingerers from real patients, i.e.

Content analysis of RS scale[23] suggested irremediable flaws. A third of the RS items are logical or algebraic reasoning tasks on which patients with severe post-concussive symptoms and fatigue from insomnia (such as caused by persistent pain) could perform less well.[23] Patients with cerebral microvascular injuries and axonal shearing from their accident are more likely to score higher on the RS and be misclassified as “malingerers” than less injured persons. Another third of RS scale items lists delusional symptoms or those of thought disorder: psychotic patients are more likely to be branded as “malingerers” and deprived of pharmacotherapy.

Psychologists using the SIMS may appear more expert in detecting false insurance compensation claims because they classify more patients as malingerers or as suspected malingerers and are thus, being perceived as more professionally competent, more likely rehired by insurance companies. The SIMS is usually scored by calculating the total score and also scores on 5 scales with 15 items each: Neurological Impairment (NI), Amnestic Disorder (AM), Psychosis (P), Affective Disorders (AF), and Low Intelligence (LI).[4] Of these 5 scales, the Psychosis (P), Affective Disorders (AF), Neurologic Impairment (NI), and Amnestic Disorder (AM) scales list obviously legitimate medical symptoms[5,6,7] that could be endorsed by both patients and malingerers at similar rates. It has been also shown that the Low Intelligence scale (LI) of the SIMS consists mainly of arithmetic and logical reasoning tasks or tasks assessing general knowledge on which patients tired by chronic illness, or those with the post-concussion syndrome, or persons whose attentional focus is disrupted by chronic pain may perform worse than uninjured persons[8,14].

A recent meta-analytic study[13] showed that lowest SIMS scores are obtained in group of normal volunteers, somewhat higher SIMS scores are obtained from persons with mild symptoms from car accidents, and the highest SIMS scores are those from patients injured more severely in high impact car accidents and also by malingerers. In the analysis of variance (ANOVA), there was no statistically significant difference between the more severely injured patients (those with post-concussion and whiplash syndrome and pain related insomnia) and malingerers: these two groups may report similar number of symptoms on the SIMS. Briefly, the SIMS is a pseudopsychological test. The detection of malingering is usually a difficult task.

Even at a 25% base rate, more than two > thirds (positive predictive power, PPP = .70) of those identified will be > genuine responders. At least for these inpatients, a much higher SIMS total > cut score (> 44) is required to achieve a very high specificity. Low specificity hinders the test's ability to accurately distinguish legitimate patients from malingerers.

The magazine John Bull published a report on the Akbar Scandal, detailing cruel treatment that had apparently led to a number of deaths. It detailed that boys were tortured and there were several deaths. Boys were gagged with blankets before being secured to a birching horse, their trousers removed and then birched with hawthorn branches. The ill boys were considered malingerers and caned.

Other causes of trochanteric bursitis include uneven leg length, iliotibial band syndrome, and weakness of the hip abductor muscles. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome can remain incorrectly diagnosed for years, because it shares the same pattern of pain with many other musculoskeletal conditions. Thus people with this condition may be labeled malingerers, or may undergo many ineffective treatments due to misdiagnosis. It may also coexist with low back pain, arthritis, and obesity.

Men posted to the base fell into three categories; those with low morale, men of temperamental instability, and malingerers. The aim was to return these men not necessarily to active service but to some form of effective service. The base was not a hospital, it was under the command of officers of the Royal Navy executive branch rather than Royal Naval Medical Service, although two Royal Navy psychiatrists were assigned to the base staff.

The items on the FBS were selected by Lees-Haley on the basis of frequency differences between a sample of individuals known to be malingering and individuals judged to have legitimate complaints and his personal observations of malingerers. The FBS is a generally accepted validity test. For example, in their survey of validity test use, Sharland and Gfeller (2007)Sharland, M. J., and Gfeller, J. D. (2007). A survey of neuropsychologists’ beliefs and practices with respect to the assessment of effort.

This means it was most likely that he had not tried it with the combination flexing the hip at the time. However, Lasègue noted that he could tell malingerers apart from patients experiencing real sciatic pain by just conducting the leg raise test. Although Lasègue was the one to emphasize its presence in sciatica and the importance it held for diagnostics, it was his student named Forst in 1881 who first described the sign.Passive Straight Leg Raise Test: Definition, Interpretation, Limitations and Utilization. (2014).

Because of the controversy, sociologists hypothesized that stresses of modern living might be a cause of the illness, while some in the media used the term "Yuppie flu" and called it a disease of the middle class. People with disabilities from CFS were often not believed and called malingerers. The November 1990 issue of Newsweek ran a cover story on CFS, which although supportive of an organic cause of the illness, also featured the term 'yuppie flu', reflecting the stereotype that CFS mainly affected yuppies. The implication was that CFS is a form of burnout.

The plot of the novel Ziemia nie boi się kul takes place in Imielin in times of the Silesian Uprisings (1919–1921). Kazimierz Kutz based the scenario for "Paciorki jednego różańca"IMDb.com – profile of the movie – Paciorki jednego różańca (English) (beads of one rosary) on one of Albin Siekierski's stories of the subject area "this house is no more" . Albin Siekierski's other screenplays are "Symulanci" (malingerers), "Nie wstydź się własnej żony" (do not be ashamed of your own wife), "Sprawa osobista" (personal matter), "Wina bez kary" (fault without punishment), "Fermentacja" (fermentation).

A 2018 literature review of 77 medical articles found gender bias in the patient- provider encounter as it related to pain. Their findings confirmed a pattern of expectations and treatment differences between men and women, "not embedded in biological differences but gendered norms." For example, women with pain were viewed as "hysterical, emotional, complaining, not wanting to get better, malingerers, and fabricating the pain, as if it is all in her head." Women suffering with chronic pain are often erroneously attributed psychological rather than somatic causes for their pain by physicians.

Lieutenant General Alexander Rodimtsev was in charge of the 13th Guards Rifle Division, and received one of two Heroes of the Soviet Union awarded during the battle for his actions. Stalin's Order No. 227 of 27 July 1942 decreed that all commanders who ordered unauthorised retreats would be subject to a military tribunal. Deserters and presumed malingerers were captured or executed after fighting. During the battle the 62nd Army had the most arrests and executions: 203 in all, of which 49 were executed, while 139 were sent to penal companies and battalions.

21-22 The A.I.C.P. staff Christmas luncheon in 1942 By the early 1850s, the AICP was the most influential charity in New York,Burrows & Wallace, pp.778-791 and its program was soon imitated in many other American cities. The association stressed character building as a way to end poverty, and took steps to insure that only the "deserving" poor received charity: idlers, malingerers and vagrants were to be sent to workhouses to do hard labor, while the depraved and debased were to be locked up in penitentiaries was a warning to others not to follow their path.

The young Miloš Hrma, who speaks with misplaced pride of his family of misfits and malingerers, is engaged as a newly trained station guard in a small railway station during the Second World War and the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. He admires himself in his new uniform, and looks forward, like his prematurely retired railwayman father, to avoiding real work. The sometimes pompous stationmaster is an enthusiastic pigeon-breeder with a kind wife, but is envious of the train dispatcher Hubička's success with women. Miloš holds an as-yet platonic love for the pretty, young conductor Máša.

He is noted[2] for his statistical/methodological critiques of the work of racial theoretician J. Philippe Rushton[3,4,5,6,7] and more recently also of Richard Lynn.[8] His work has also focused on demonstrating the lack of content and criterion validity of the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS), a widely used test that excessively frequently misclassifies legitimate medical patients as malingerers, especially those patients who experience the psychological polytraumatic symptom pattern (e.g., survivors of motor vehicle collisions, injured war veterans, civilians injured in industrial accidents),[9] thus falsely depriving injured persons of medical attention, therapies, and of legally owed insurance benefits.

Jacques Desjardin On 16 May, Saint-Just and La Bas called a council of war at Desjardin's headquarters which was attended by Pichegru, Charbonnier, Jean Baptiste Kléber and Barthélemy Louis Joseph Schérer. Outraged by seeing French soldiers fleeing from the recent battlefield, the two political operatives published a broadside announcing that cowards and malingerers would be shot. Probably trying to limit future damage caused by Charbonnier's ineptitude, Pichegru drafted an order declaring that the Brabant Expedition would form a single army corps subject to the orders of Desjardin, Charbonnier, Kléber and Schérer. The last two would act as Desjardin's deputies, each leading two divisions.

Repression of the Russian Orthodox Church temporarily ceased, and priests revived the tradition of blessing arms before battle. To encourage the initiative of Red Army commanders, the CPSU temporarily abolished political commissars, reintroduced formal military ranks and decorations, and introduced the Guards unit concept. Exceptionally heroic or high-performing units earned the Guards title (for example 1st Guards Special Rifle Corps, 6th Guards Tank Army), an elite designation denoting superior training, materiel, and pay. Punishment also was used; slackers, malingerers, those avoiding combat with self-inflicted wounds cowards, thieves, and deserters were disciplined with beatings, demotions, undesirable/dangerous duties, and summary execution by NKVD punitive detachments.

Graves became dismissive of the radiation risks from nuclear testing while serving as test director for the Nevada Test Site shots during the 1950s. He announced that the risks from fallout were "concocted in the minds of weak malingerers." As a spokesman for the Nevada Test Site, he spoke in local areas around Nevada assuring the population of no danger from the activities there. As the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory's J (Test) Division, he was the scientific director or deputy director of most of the nuclear tests from 1948 through the 1950s, including the Desert Rock exercises which exposed military personnel to radiation, and the Castle Bravo test that irradiated many native islanders and test personnel.

Most of the soldiers there are malingerers and drop-outs, with one of them Private Cox (Richard Attenborough) becoming his mentor in escaping work details and riding the railways without a ticket. Windrush is finally posted to train as a Japanese interpreter, where he becomes the prize pupil. He is then contacted by his uncle, Brigadier Tracepurcel (Dennis Price), who rapidly rose from the rank of Major for facilitating profitable business deals for his superior officers and is now a senior officer in the War Office, to join a secret operation known only as Hatrack. He is quickly commissioned and the operation is launched, Windrush becoming an unwitting participant in a scheme ostensibly to recover looted artworks from the Germans but really to steal them and sell them to two crooked art dealers.

Giving nicknames to soldiers has long been a feature of military life. Private David McCook of Company B was referred to as the "Skillet Wagon" by men of other companies, because they were always borrowing his tin pans, buckets or cans for cooking. Private Matthews was called "Marker", while others sported such monikers as "Burnt Tail Coat", "Fatty Bread", "Mumps", "Lousy Jim", "Cakes", "Keno", "Strap" and "Sharp." Matthews further reports that one evening as the regiment was being inspected by its commander, Colonel Adams called a twenty- year-old recruit to attention, referring to him "by a name that he would not have given a married man"; he writes that this name stuck with that man afterward, and was used by the regimental surgeon to warn malingerers away from sick call.

A harsh disciplinarian, Raeder was obsessed with the fear that the Navy might "disgrace" itself as it did in the last war with High Seas mutiny of 1918, and to prevent another mutiny, Raeder imposed a "ruthless discipline" designed to terrorize his sailors into obedience.Murray and Millet p. 236. Under the leadership of Raeder and even more so under his successor Karl Dönitz, it was official policy for naval courts-martial to impose the death penalty as often as possible, no matter how slight the offence, so that the sailors would fear their officers more than the enemy. Historians have described Raeder as someone who "supported the Nazi regime unflinchingly and proved merciless against malingerers, deserters and those who questioned the authority of the Führer".Hansen p. 84.

The station's Medical Officer became expert in determining which crews were simply unlucky in contrast with genuine malingerers. However he was capable of serious misjudgements on occasions, and could be prone to unreasonable outbursts and the persecution of some crews and their members.. Like Widdows, he carefully supervised new crews and eased them into operational flying with "Nasturtium training" – mine- laying and then easier targets. He was pressurised to expose them earlier to greater risks and he acquired a reputation for not accepting any interference in how he ran the squadron.. Gibson's exercise of summary discipline tended towards constructive tasks aimed at improving the efficiency of the squadron such as maintenance of aircraft, engines or weapons. He was responsible for the emergence of an inner circle of officers who shared his intensity for operations.

Page 15 of the SIMS manual[4] informs the readers in an unsubstantiated manner that the SIMS items are descriptive of “atypical, improbable, inconsistent, or illogical symptoms” that would be “highly atypical in patients with genuine psychiatric or cognitive disorders …”. In fact, content analyses via ratings by teams of doctoral level clinicians with more than 35 years of experience each in clinical psychology or psychiatry indicated that the SIMS scales contain no items with reasonable capacity to differentiate legitimate patients from malingerers[5,6,7,8]. The SIMS has been widely used by psychologists contracted by car insurance companies to evaluate insurance claims of persons injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). More than 50% of SIMS items conceptually overlap with those of the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms scale[9] or of those from the Post-MVA Neurological Symptoms scale,[10] i.e.

In 1932, as MP for Willesden West, she spoke out against a clause in the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pension Bill which would penalise all married women as 'malingerers and cheats until they have definitely proved that they are not', though they had paid fully into the fund. On the Employment Bill of 1933 she argued lucidly for more training of the unemployed: 'it would be better to send a smaller number of people to undertake a really full course of training, and to turn them out as trained men, capable of earning good wages, than to send a larger number there and again flood the market with people who are not fully trained.' This was an issue she returned to again and again in her parliamentary career. In 1934 during discussion of the Employment Assistance Act, she raised the issue of different benefit scales for men and women: 'When you are dealing with the destitute, I suggest that a destitute man and a destitute woman cannot be kept for a different sum of money.
