- The 4077th is deluged with patients and their individual medical histories. Then they run out of blood and everyone is donating at 48-hour intervals.
- The 4077 needs blood, lots of it and then some. All personnel (but Ferret Face) have contributed twice. Naturally, the hospital is slammed; Sgt. Jerris Moody is a black medic who brings them one bus load. Margaret talks in Post Op with a young private who came face to face with a Chinese soldier and lived to tell about it. Klinger donates his hair for a good cause to a GI of Puerto Rican descent. BJ learns all about land mines and booby traps from Herb, a GI whose leg he was forced to amputate. Frank is panic-stricken when a patient of his is unconscious and tries to blame a nurse. Hawkeye tries to cheer up Whitney, a GI who was shot in the rear echelon and is embarrassed. Moody has to fight a bunch of drunk, bigoted GIs who ask him "to dance." Colonel Potter figures out Frank's patient was a snakebite victim. Frank is sure his wife, Louise, is back home fooling around. BJ delivers what he considers good news to Sgt. Raymond McGill: he is going stateside. But, McGill does not want to go: he is making money off his "buddies" by selling whiskey and snap shots for 50 times cost. A wounded GI tries to flirt with Margaret...and Klinger. Col. Potter is desperate; even though it has not been 48 hours, he asks his crew to donate more blood. As Ferret Face runs screaming for his Mommy, Sgt. Attais, a Greek soldier and a truckload of his brave soldiers volunteer to replenish diminished supplies. Col. Potter gets a geography lesson about Chicago (he served at Camp Grant for two years prior to WWI) from a concussed GI.—LA-Lawyer
- The 4077 needs blood, lots of it and then some. All personnel (but Ferret Face) have contributed twice. Potter calls around everywhere, but nobody is willing to spare any blood supplies with them. The unit needs a 100 units of blood immediately. The wounded keep coming in. Naturally, the hospital is slammed; Sgt. Jerris Moody (Hilly Hicks) is a black medic who brings them one bus load. Moody was himself treated at the 4077th a few months before. Margaret talks in Post Op with a young private who came face to face with a Chinese soldier and lived to tell about it. THE private was in his foxhole, reading a Chinese leaflet, when the Chinese came face to face with him. They were both stunned for a few seconds. They both fired at each other. The private got hit in the shoulder, but killed the Chinese.
After another 17 hrs marathon in surgery, the unit only has 10 units of whole blood left.
Klinger donates his hair for a good cause to a GI of Puerto Rican descent. The doctors had to remove his mustache to sew up his face, and now the man thinks he has lost his manhood, so Klinger makes him a fake mustache out of his own personal hair. BJ learns all about land mines and booby traps from Herb, a GI whose leg he was forced to amputate. Herb was assigned to the rear, cleaning up land mines. He forgot that he booby trapped a few mines to confuse the enemy. He stepped on one of those himself. Frank is panic-stricken when a patient of his is unconscious (there is nothing wrong with him and no reason for him to be unconscious) and tries to blame a nurse. Colonel Potter figures out Frank's patient was a snakebite victim.
Frank is sure his wife, Louise, is back home fooling around. He hired a private detective to follow her around.
Hawkeye tries to cheer up Whitney (John-Anthony Bailey), a GI who was shot in the rear echelon and is embarrassed. Moody has to fight a bunch of drunk, bigoted GIs who ask him "to dance." BJ delivers what he considers good news to Sgt. Raymond McGill (Sal Viscuso): he is going stateside. But, McGill does not want to go: he is making money off his "buddies" by selling whiskey and snap shots for 50 times cost. He wants BJ to make him stay in Korea, but BJ wont budge. A wounded GI tries to flirt with Margaret...and Klinger. Col. Potter is desperate; even though it has not been 48 hours, he asks his crew to donate more blood.
As Ferret Face runs screaming for his Mommy, Sgt. Attais (Zitto Kazann), a Turkish soldier and a truckload of his brave soldiers volunteer to replenish diminished supplies. They are thankful to 4077 MASH for saving the life of their Captain (who took in more than 30 units of blood all by his lonesome (thats a complete oil change in less than 24 hrs). Col. Potter gets a geography lesson about Chicago (he served at Camp Grant for two years prior to WWI) from a concussed GI. They discuss where everything is in the town.
