    We Serve at the Pleasure of the Doctors
    The old meat market continues. Due to an impending invasion, the nurses are sent to another unit until it blows over. The male in the camp drop immediately into depression. Their counterparts who are mostly there to provide companionship have them dragging their tails. I don't know how long they are gone, but it seems like a couple days. They hang around the officer's club, drowning their sorrows. Hawkeye and his dry martini lines are not all that funny. I always thought that Loudon Wainwright, III would have made a good recurring character, but this is one of his few appearances. Anyway, somehow they manage to get by a couple days without being serviced. I wonder how women feel about this show. There is also an element of cruelty in the treatment of Frank that goes beyond dislike. But I get it. It is comedy and he is a bigger than life character.
