The doctors are working nonstop over 72 hours due to incoming wounded. And they have to sleep to regain their strength and stamina. As each doctor and Major Houlihan sleep, their dreams are not what they seem. Each of their dreams have one common theme: war. I can't really explain these dream sequences except that they are so haunting. I guess they represent how the war has affected their lives. I find it interesting how Potter's dream does not involve wounded soldiers but the enemy.
I wonder if this episode explains how the war affects soldiers and doctors who are risking their lives to serve their country. I never served in the military so I don't know if this is true. But I can believe it. I have watched movies and shows with soldiers that suffer PTSD and can have nightmares about being in a war. Maybe that's what this episode is like? About how the war can affect our minds? I mean the brain is a very powerful organ in our body. Maybe those who have been in the military can relate to this episode. I don't know...
Anyway, this episode is hauntingly unforgettable. There is no comedy, just drama. Kudos to Alan Alda for making this episode unforgettable. Watch this episode and maybe you can relate to it? 9.3/10.
