* WorstAid: Winchester's field expedient care of the Greek soldiers would fit into this category if not for the fact that it worked. Specifically, relocating a dislocated shoulder should only be done the way he does it under emergency circumstances and his treatment of the pneumothorax was improvised using inappropriate equipment (which he comments on).

* TemptingFate: Even with the wind storm, Hawkeye tells B.J. that it would be a quiet shift for them. Hawkeye is barely done talking before the wind knocks over the camp's water tower and injures several with incoming wounded arriving before they finish.[[note]]It is well known in many fields, especially medical, to never say that it'll be a quiey shift, as that guarantees some sort of excitement will happen.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

A strong windstorm blows down from Manchuria, putting the war on hold but also threatening the camp - and blocking Charles' R&R plans.

!!Attention, all personnel! The wind storm has left the following tropes scattered around the compound:
* BadassBoast: When Charles is telling Klinger about his childhood:
-->'''Charles:''' I was always a curious child. By the age of seven I was already dissecting frogs.\\
'''Klinger:''' Oh, lots of boys did that.\\
'''Charles:''' But I was able to put them back together.
* CallBack: In post-op after the storm, Hawkeye is wearing the cardigan his (retconned out) sister knitted for him in season 2's "[[Recap/MashS2E23MailCall Mail Call]]". Plus he brings back his early season Groucho Marx glasses to entertain a Korean child.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Margaret is guilt-stricken when Nurse Bigelow is injured after the camp water tower blows over - while Bigelow was helping others secure it on Margaret's orders.
