* AccidentalMarriage: Charles worries that he and Donna had this while he was sloshed in Tokyo, but it turns out their ceremony was officiated by someone with no authority to legalize a marriage; all of them being shitfaced also invalidated the legal requirement of being of sound mind when signing.

* MortonsFork: Turns ou the Army actually ''listened'' to Hawkeye and B.J.'s realization that giving sufferers fluids will cause internal drowning, but in typical Army style, changed their policy to ''no fluids'', which can be just as lethal, by denying the patient badly needed electrolytes.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Hawkeye comes up with a possible middle ground treatment, but it involves going against army regulations, which could put them in a bind if he dies (even if it's from the illness itself rather than the treatment).

* TakeAThirdOption: Hawkeye discovers that the typical treatment for electrolyte loss from Korean hemorrhagic fever has been increasing the concentration of the saline given to patients. Rather than do that or follow the army's instructions to do nothing, he suggests using a lower-concentration solution that matches the normal blood concentration of electrolytes (also known as isotonic saline or normal saline). It works.

The journal article he read pointed out that all prior attempts at developing a hydration treatment for hemorrhagic fever all focused on increasing saline concentrations, with low concentrations an unexplored area. This provided the needed inspiration.

Rather than do that or follow the army's instructions to do nothing, he suggests using an extremely low-concentration saline solution. It works.
