  • Libman, as in Libman-Sacks endocarditis, was a renowned diagnostician. This article is a collection of snippets, e.g. "In two cases of pseudo-hemoptysis (so-called hysterical hemoptysis) I have noted that the sanguineous fluid is of a peculiar lavender-pink color which I believe has a value in differential diagnosis. Such pseudo-hemoptysis is usually to be ascribed to voluntary injury to the mucous membrane of the mouth." [102]
