'M*A*S*H' - 'The General's Practitioner' Quiz

Answer: Bidwell

Colonel Bidwell insists on knowing who the most 'outstanding' doctor at the 4077th is...and Colonel Potter reluctantly responds that it's Hawkeye. Bidwell immediately insists that he'll be transferring Hawkeye to the personal services of a certain General Korshak. Potter responds that Korshak won't want Hawkeye...too disagreeable!

Answer: Tamer of the Tiger Tank

Potter continues his conversation with Bidwell, discouraging him from selecting Hawkeye as the General's personal physician. He suggests that, 'Pierce is a maverick, from the top of his unshorn head to the tips of his uncut toenails.'

Answer: war

Father Mulcahy is stunned by this and inquires as to why Hawkeye thinks this way. Hawkeye answers that there are no innocent bystanders in hell, but that war is 'chock full of them -- little kids, cripples, old ladies.' Hawkeye goes on, 'In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.' Interesting point!

Answer: CHIPs

Larry Wilcox played Sgt. Baker, sidekick to the 1980s heart-throb Erik Estrada on the television show 'CHIPs'. In this, his only appearance on 'M*A*S*H' he plays a young corporal who is being shipped home to Bitter Creek, Wyoming. Apparently, he is leaving something important behind...namely his Korean lover and their child!

Answer: Mai Ping

What Mulligan doesn't tell Radar the whole story! Aside from Mai Ping there is a child (a very cute one, I might add!) The baby's name is Lee Chin...Lee Chin Mulligan! Radar has now become a surrogate father.

Answer: Edward Binns

The General calls Hawkeye a 'real hard nose', and claims 'that makes two of us'. You might recognize Binns from some of his other roles, which include '12 Angry Men' (Juror 6) and 'Patton' (Maj. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith).

Answer: No

Of course not, Radar would never be that bold. Radar rather chooses to call himself Lee Chin's 'uncle', though he acknowledges that he is not really that either. BJ suggests that he admires Radar for his newfound family and calls Radar a 'good father', despite Radar's objections to the title.

Answer: True

The General asks Hawkeye several questions about his medical background. Hawkeye answers that he had 'all the childhood diseases: mumps, measles, colic -- you name it!' When the General asks ('seriously') where Hawkeye studied, Hawkeye responds, 'I never studied seriously. If I hadn't cheated on the final exam and been a personal friend of the cadavers, I never would have graduated. And that was high school.' These responses only make the General want him more!

Answer: His teddy bear

Radar is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and leave his teddy bear to Lee Chin, but Mai Ping retrieves it from the child's cradle and gives it to Radar. Mulligan tells Mai Ping that he will bring her and their child back to Bitter Creek with him...all's well that ends well.

Answer: A stroke

Hawkeye insists that the general must clean up his personal habits, including giving up his cigar smoking and scotch drinking. Korshak is resistant to Hawkeye's advice, even when Hawkeye pronounces that he has six months to live given his current lifestyle. The General finally agrees to 'take Hawkeye's orders' and releases Hawkeye from his obligation to become his personal physician after Hawkeye's impassioned pleas. Yes, all's well that ends well.
