thetimes.com [$]

A Cambridge professor is accused of intentionally failing IQ tests to bolster a £1 million brain damage claim following a stroke. The surgeon is suing the NHS, alleging delayed treatment caused permanent disabilities. Dr. Mohamed Atef Hakmi, an orthopaedic specialist, claims the stroke and subsequent lack of early treatment caused brain damage. The NHS argues he exaggerated symptoms and deliberately underperformed on pre-trial assessments. Hakmi scored a low 84 on a pre-trial IQ test, prompting accusations of deliberate failure. The case is currently being heard in the High Court in London.
