Judge found on balance of probability that limited injuries (de Quervain disease of left wrist and sprain of right hand) occurred but resolved within five months of each accident; pervasive, inconsistent symptom reports, unreliable objective findings, surveillance and expert psychiatric/psychological evidence supported finding of exaggeration/malingering for subsequent complaints; Medical Assessment Board review decisions set aside; no award for permanent incapacity; award limited to five months' sick leave per accident and limited recoverable medical expenses; costs awarded against applicant.
