It starts out as just a regular day at Mash 4077. Wounded are brought in for surgery via choppers and ambulances, Hawkeye and Trapper (mainly Hawkeye) have a go at Frank Burns, Frank and Margaret get ticked off, and then the episode [[CerebusSyndrome slides into dark and edgy territory]] when a patient Hawkeye has fixed up starts taking a turn for the worse, leading Hawkeye to question his surgical skills and medical expertise when he cannot find out why. As he tries to solve the mystery before the worst happens, he lashes out at the other unit members.

---> '''Margaret''': We don't have any because of your disruptive influence!
---> '''Hawkeye''': I deny that.
---> '''Margaret''': It's true.
---> '''Hawkeye''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, in that case, I admit it.]]
