* LanguageBarrier: Ralph speaks no English and the doctors speak little Korean. It's PlayedForLaughs (especially when Ralph tries understanding Hawkeye's directions), and actually not much of an impediment; Ralph makes it ''sparkling'' clear he's surrendering to Hawkeye and BJ, and he's so expressive in face and body language that he easily makes himself understood.

* AskAStupidQuestion: As Father Mulcahy tends to the sick, an ailing Klinger pokes his head in and asks if it's safe to come in yet. Someone offscreen immediately throws a bedpan at Klinger, narrowly missing. Mulcahy quips that's one vote for no.
* IllKillYou: Laid up in bed, Rizzo promises to kill Klinger for all this. He says the possibility of getting to do that is the one thing that makes him want to live right now.
* OnlySaneMan: Father Mulcahy keeps Charles and Margaret from going at it, explicitly reminding them that the entire camp is depending on the three of them.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Charles and Margaret get into this, as he feels he shouldn't have to do a nurse's usual duties, and she badgers him for his views on gender roles.
* TemptingFate: Klinger initially balks at the claims that the turkeys were the problem, saying he and Potter also had turkey and are doing just fine. It takes a couple scenes, but Klinger eventually starts feeling under the weather.

They're pretty sure Ralph is surrendering to them, but they're worried about being wrong. B.J. tells Hawkeye to lower his hands, quipping that he'll do the same if Hawk doesn't get shot.

* SickEpisode: Ironically, several of the show's main characters (Hawkeye, BJ, Margaret, Charles, and Father Mulcahy) are the only ones who ''don't'' get sick. The rest of the show's cast (Potter, Klinger, and the ensemble) comes down with salmonella.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: The camp is suffering from food poisoning caused by the bad turkey meat that Klinger procured. But the episode incorrectly identifies the condition as salmonella, which is actually caused by eating ''improperly cooked'' meat. If it was really salmonella, then the fault would lie with the cook, not Klinger. Even a layman might know this, and an experienced doctor like Colonel Potter (who joins the camp personnel in blaming Klinger) certainly would.
