Serie ganadora múltiple del Emmy sobre cirujanos de la armada en medio de la guerra de Corea. Por 11 años (10 en el `Top 20'), el show mezcló humor inteligente con escenas conmovedoras de los dedicados doctores tratando de salvar vidas, en un medio estresante como lo es una sala de cirugía móvil de la Armada.
Tired of their constant complaints about the quality of recreational activities at the 4077th, Colonel Potter appoints Hawkeye and B.J. as the new morale officers. Winchester's morale has already reached a new peak: He's ecstatic about his operation on a wounded soldier, Sheridan, which saved the boy's leg, leaving only "negligible" side effects - less use of his right hand. However, the soldier was a concert pianist before the war, so Winchester obtains music written by Maurice Ravel for a pianist that had lost a hand in World War I.
