* {{Misblamed}}: When a shipment of primaquine (the post-exposure treatment for malaria) shows up at the 4077th despite Klinger supposedly ordering chloroquine (the pre-exposure drug they actually needed), the doctors initially assumed Klinger screwed up the paperwork. A note included with the shipment shows he ''did'' order the right stuff, but the depot was out, so the primaquine instead.

* ADayInTheSpotlight: Roy Goldman, an often seen background corpsman/M.P./whatever role is needed that week plays an important role in figuring out the issue, as he and Klinger (the only two personnel of Middle Eastern descent) are the only people being effected by the new malaria medicine.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: While eventually proven wrong, it's not entirely unfair of the medical staff to assume that Klinger might pull something to avoid doing office paperwork. It's only when his symptoms begin interfering with his duties in the O.R. that they realize he's telling the truth.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Klinger claims to be tired when he's supposed to be working, Hawkeye and Margaret think [[PlayingSick he's just faking it]] because he's upset his weekend pass to Tokyo was cancelled. Later on, when Goldman says he's tired, a conversation between Margaret and Klinger makes her realize that Klinger isn't faking it and they could be faced with an epidemic:
--->'''Klinger:''' Sure, you believe [Goldman]. I've got the same symptoms, and I'm a goldbrick.\\
'''Margaret:''' It's not the same. His back hurts, and he's tired and...''(Stops as she realizes those '''are''' the same symptoms Klinger claimed he had)''\\
'''Klinger:''' Uh-huh. It ''is'' the same, only I had it first.



* WhatTheHellHero: When Margaret accuses Klinger of goldbricking, he lets her have it. Yes, he's pulled a lot of scams during his time in the Army to try and get out of it, but he has ''never'' let those scams get in the way of doing his job (people would ''die'' if he did). This is no scam, there is something wrong with him. When the other doctors admit Klinger is right and he is having an adverse reaction to a malaria vaccine, Klinger gives them all one for not even entertaining the idea there might be something legitimately wrong with him.

* NoSympathy: Everyone dismisses Klinger's comments that he's feeling tired and his back aches, believing he's faking it due to his pass being cancelled, even calling him a goldbrick. They change their tunes when they realize that [[MyGodYouAreSerious he isn't faking it]].

At the same time, Klinger, whose pass to Tokyo was cancelled, is complaining about tiredness and pain, but everyone writes it off as him trying to look for sympathy. However, when another corporal mentions the same thing, they realize that Klinger may not be faking and that they have a potential crisis on their hands...
