Some forty years of ignoring what always has been but finally given a name or label, lack of R&D in that forty years and now finally recognizing there's a rush for quick fixes or cures, in the cases of testing it's to save money the public refuses to pony up for the results of our wars of choice while having little in questions as to the costs of the destructive death toys of same. At least it's in the public conscious for good now, but the greater majority still refuses to sacrifice as to the results of what we order the very few others to do in our names! Better understanding, forty years lost, through R&D will bring what is truly needed to the surface and funding those needs will save on huge costs from not doing and not understanding. Testing is also an easy way for the professions of to dodge the fact they understand very little about what is actually going on, thus misdiagnosis's and mistreatment's or none at all leading those suffering to self treating, and also not understanding, causing even more damage and costs.
May 06, 2012 - Two years ago, Fort Bragg Sgt. Jody Lee Piercy was ordered to take a battery of psychological tests to determine whether he was faking his service-related ailments.
After the testing, medical records show, a doctor at Womack Army Medical Center concluded that Piercy was exaggerating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and wrote that a diagnosis of malingering "should be strongly considered."
Six months later, the records show, Piercy underwent another battery of psychological tests for issues related to traumatic brain injury. This time, a different Womack doctor did not waffle. Piercy, he said, was faking.
The Army's testing seemed to demonstrate that Piercy was fabricating his problems to get increased benefits once he left the service.
Piercy, a member of Fort Bragg's Warrior Transition Battalion for wounded soldiers, says nothing could be further from the truth. He's been trying to fight back against the malingering accusation. And now the Army itself may have given him some ammunition. read more>>>
