Here's a short excerpt from a hospital record on one of my clients: "Pt has drill bit set beside bed. When asked why he brought it with him, pt states 'In case I need to cut off my leg.' Dr. ______ notified."

it would make sense if he brought a saw, but not sure how a drill bit set will help cut off a leg.
Or evidence as high intellectual functioning. I had a decision today that said the claimant reports that she rarely leaves the house, but she attends monthly doctor appointments. Enjoy hell.
10:03 PM Are you actually saying that an ALJ (DDS?) actually used going to a doctor once a month as evidence that contradicted her statement, "...that she rarely leaves the house..." and then used that "evidence" to deny her? Wow!!! And I thought Roger Goodell was an AHMF with his head up his a**!!!!!
10:03 PM Please, call your local media and get them on your side. Only public media pressure can get SSA to do the right thing in some cases, especially with constant whining from a few misguided/misinformed? members of Congress (Senators Lankford, Cotton & Rand Paul).

This was used as evidence for low intellectual functioning.

Let me guess...the ALJ found him capable of "simple" work tasks, because of his admitted ability to cut off his leg with a drill bit. Case denied.
So "acting crazy or desperate" is the answer...seems staged.
