Anyone ever heard anything as ridiculous as this story?

Yeah, that's real bizarro!

Makes me wonder though. My little brother had surgery on his toe in high school for a sports injury. Had a metal pin put in. About 5 years ago he hurt it again. It looked bruised for maybe a week. But ever since then he's been complaining about it, he used crutches for like 2 years before he switched to a cane. Even called himself a cripple.
But I just don't buy it. 2 different doctors have examined it. X-Rays, MRI's, everything. They both said they could find nothing wrong, and say what he needs is confidence.
He eventually stopped using the cane and started walking normal. A couple months ago he had an altercation and got his arm twisted by someone. He claimed he couldn't move his arm for a month, went the emergency room where they did xrays and everything, but found nothing wrong. He's had his arm in a sling ever since and claims excruciating pain when he moves it.
He also has claimed to have some sort of stomach problem ever since high school, but again, doctors find no evidence of it.
And it irritates me because I have to go to my moms house and cut grass and do things all the time because she had a heart-attack in may and if I don't go do these things, she'll do them herself. And she shouldn't be doing it, and shouldn't have to do it. So I go there a couple times a week and there he is, sitting around, arm in a sling, ice pack strapped to his face for a bad tooth, bitching about his stomach.
I thought maybe he was doing it all to keep getting pain pills. But doctors don't give him pain pills, according to several other members of my family.
So it must be for the pitty. Some people feel they need other peoples pitty. Perpetual victim mentality.
That must be what's going on with the woman in the wheel chair. It sounds like it's too extreme to be simple laziness. These people require pitty, and some take it REAL far.

And the best part is...it gets the same result at bargain price.
