Colonel Potter has his annual physical, possibly the last one he will have. It turns out his blood pressure is too high and if command gets wind of this he may be transferred. He has two weeks to do something about it. Soon the whole camp gets wind of his problem and begins to treat him with kid gloves. Meanwhile, it is malaria season and the wrong medication is sent to the MASH. It's only a stopgap measure. Klinger, through his incompetency, has allowed his daily reports to get two months behind. Soon his office is wall to wall papers. Unfortunately, he begins to feel bad. Everyone thinks he is goldbricking. Because of his tenuous history, no one believes him when he talks about how he feels. Of course, Potter, who hates attention, is ready to pop a cork because everyone is so nice to him they are smothering him. It's a pretty good ride with pressure building almost everywhere in the camp.

Colonel Potter attempts to restrain himself
safenoe29 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Here Hawkeye takes the lead in helping Colonel Potter get his blood pressure down, and Klinger and Roy are in the sublot. This is probably Roy's most prominent appearance in a M*A*S*H episode, and he appears in the final scene with Klinger and Potter.
