Re malingering, Blum speaks of fictitious jaundice as having received the name of La Carotte (the carrot) from the soldiers. Blum gives a partial list of instances of simulation as follows:
SIMULATION
(Blum, December, 1916)
False angina, from irritating solution.
Gastric disorder. Oil and tobacco (with tachycardia or jaundice) (use ipecac).
Diarrhea. (Isolate.)
Diarrheal stools imitated by a mixture of urine and water.
Dysenteric stools imitated by the addition of fat pork and bits of raw meat.
Appendicitis. Complaint of pain at the well-known McBurney point.
Tape worm. Carriers supply others.
