the problem with fakers is when people are really not faking they don't get believed, i have a motor disorder which at the time meant i was only just able to walk holding on to something, yet for seven weeks i was made to walk from my room about 250m three times a day and stand in line waiting for my meds and three times a day again stand in line to get my meals because staff said i was faking it! a few months later i was unable to walk at all and was back in but this time i insisted on having my wheelchair in with me even then some of the staff did not believe i needed it and on two occasions it was removed from my room during the night so i could not get my meds or food until it was brought back. i eventually complained to the head ofthe department who made out a special care plan stating food and meds had to be brought to me every time and that my wheelchair had not to be removed again!
