re: Disability leeches and moochers

My wife is a nurse and worked for years in cardiology research. People would volunteer for studies on cholesterol, heart disease, arrythmia, etc... Almost daily, she would have someone come in with disability papers for the doctor to sign. Obviously able bodied people thought that because they had bad cholesterol, they should be declared permanently disabled.

If the doc refused (and he almost always did), they would drop out of the study - presumably to go look for another doctor who would sign the paperwork.
