Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeonard Trimble's surname is similar to that of Dalton Trumbo, novelist of "Johnny Got His Gun," which is narrated by a quadruple amputee.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the show, the doctor is talking to the patient and saying how he'd tried to kill himself three times in the past three days. When the doctor walked out, the patient got up and went to the hydrotherapy room where he tried to kill himself for a fourth time, unsuccessfully. In real life, a suicidal patient would not have been left alone and unrestrained, especially immediately after attempting suicide three prior times.

Featured review
I liked the episode but the goofs with everything Army
I really liked the story and the episode as a whole. My one problem were gross inaccuracies dealing with the Army of the time, in which I was an officer. I have issues with the military uniforms in many episodes but this one is particularly egregious. So, where do I begin? Yes, at the beginning...
The doctor was a Colonel, but rank insignia is not worn on a physician's hospital coat. It might be embroidered on it over the right breast pocket with the doctor's name. The doctor and everyone else called Lieutenant Colonel Lobsterman "Lieutenant Colonel". This is seldom done outside of an official ceremony, normally a Lieutenant Colonel is referred to as Colonel.
The General's aide. She is wearing infantry officer branch insignia. No women were branched in the Infantry at the time. That has now changed but wasn't the case then.
The General had a number of uniform discrepancies. Generals, with the exceptions of the Medical, Dental, Nurse, Veterinary, Medical Service, and Chaplain Corps do not wear branch insignia on their uniforms. Likewise his ribbon rack was all sorts of a mess. Even if he had served in the enlisted ranks the Army Good Conduct Medal would not be the highest award. The rack was also four ribbons across, and there were no unit citations on the right breast. Likewise, when he removes his jacket the epaulets have no insignia, at the time a soft shoulder-board with his stars would be worn. As the base commander his dress green jacket epaulets would have the stars as well as a green felt loop showing they are in a command position. Finally, Generals in that day had two narrow black strips running down the trouser legs. Other officers had one wide stripe, and enlisted personnel none. Forgive me for being so anal, but this kind of stuff in any television show or film drives me mad, regardless of the service as I spend 40 years in the Army and Navy, served 10 years of my Navy service with the Marines and another 4 years in joint assignments working with all services. I wish someone would hire me to fix uniforms in Hollywood.
Other than that I loved the episode and story line.
