I had to edit the bit on malingering as no sources or evidence were offered. The article talked about what a physician may perceive, but this is subject and again no evidence was offered.

Dictionary.com talks about feigning illness - which I think is a better descriptor malingerer, rather than becoming academic as to "why" a person may malinger.

I have edited the article to make it more neutral. Acontributor 11:41, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
