27th Episode Overall
Directed by Jackie Cooper
Written by Sheldon Keller & Laurence Marks
Production code K402
Original air date September 29, 1973
Set during the Korean War in the 1950’s
Plot Summary: This episode is told as a voice-over of Radar
reading a report as he is typing it. Comically, it includes where he
puts punctuation and how he spaces the report. In each scene of the
episode, the viewer hears the actual scene as well as the report that
Radar is making. An enemy prisoner who is being treated in the OR grabs
a scalpel and attacks a nurse and a patient of Trapper's before being
subdued by Hawkeye. When Trapper's patient subsequently dies, Trapper
is furious at the enemy soldier, and considers killing him by removing
his IV; however, Hawkeye talks him down.Hawkeye, meanwhile, has fallen
head over heels in love with a new nurse, Lt. Erika Johnson. Although
he is temporarily deterred by seeing a wedding ring on her hand, he is
happy to discover that the ring is merely a shield against unwanted
advances. Hawkeye is prepared to propose to the nurse, but she is not
interested in a long-term relationship and is shipped out to Tokyo.
After Frank mistakes Klinger for Margaret, the two majors decide to
get rid of Klinger. They convince Col. Blake to have Klinger undergo a
psychiatric evaluation. Dr. Milton Freedman, an Army psychiatrist,
interviews Klinger, and tells him that although he believes Klinger to
be sane, he is willing to grant him a Section 8 discharge if he will
sign a report confirming that he is a transvestite and a homosexual (a
report which Freedman notes will follow him into civilian life).
Insisting that he is neither ("I'm just crazy!"), Klinger refuses to
sign, and Freedman files a report saying that Klinger is sane
Hope you enjoy it,
