Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Malingering and Feigned Sickness
That much of the phraseology is of a more or less popular nature arises from the fact that all the reports quoted were written for public bodies or insurance companies, and this also is why such simple tests as Romberg's are explained. The profession will, I hope, pardon these elementary definitions found in the histories of several cases, for they were interpolated solely to make the reports intelligible to the layman to whom they were addressed. Further, I hope the lapses into non technical language will be excused by medical men when it is pointed out that to some extent this work may be of use to members of the legal profession and those who are responsible for the administration of the National Insurance Act. My thanks for much assistance are due to an eminent legal friend who insists upon remaining anonymous.
