Although I understand how annoying it is for a coworker to be out so much, you are a bit quick to judge that he/she is faking an illness just to get out of work. I previously worked with someone who suffered from an anxiety disorder and would get severe anxiety attacks. This person also missed a lot of work in odd spurts like the coworker you describe. After getting upset at him on several occasions for not showing up (because we were working on a joint project), he told me about his problem. He felt horrible about it and is getting help, but it's a long process. By the way, the manager knew about his problem long before I did.
