* JerkassHasAPoint: Margaret absolutely could have been a lot more kind about the whole thing, but she's not exactly wrong for being concerned about Nurse Cooper's tendency to fall apart in the O.R. and thus putting more strain on the rest of the nursing staff as well as potentially endangering the welfare of the patients, especially as it's implied that her running out on BJ at the start isn't the first time this has happened and she does so while the patient is in a severely critical condition. Even BJ and Col. Potter, while they ultimately agree that Cooper simply needs more time to adapt, both acknowledge that Margaret is technically absolutely right to be concerned.

** Half the episode is the doctors repeatedly telling Radar why getting a tattoo is a bad idea. The message is pretty hamfisted, but the point the doctors seem to be trying to make is that Radar's risking his health by going to a local tattooist whose equipment may not be even vaguely clean because one man told him that tattoos make you more attractive to women.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Hawkeye and B.J. had almost conned Radar into giving up on the tattoo with help from a sergeant who claimed not to know them...then Klinger walks in and blows the whole thing by saying it's a good idea that they found the sergeant after all.
