* LawfulStupid: Margaret has a moment of this when she insists on first sterilizing the vascular clamps Hawkeye needs for the surgery, despite the fact that sterility is a lost cause anyway given that Hawkeye's non-sterile hand is inside the wound holding the artery closed while they wait for said clamp, which only creates a further delay at a time when they're on an extremely tight clock.

We need rigatoni.") flies over the head of Nurse Kellye, who's half-and-half Hawaiian and Chinese. She requests he use cultural measurements she'll understand, getting in return "a small egg roll."

The spelling used on the wiki is "B.J."


As they're taking the patient down, an ambulance pulls up with more wounded. BJ sees that one soldier is beyond saving and informs his friend (another patient). However, he soon gets word from Hawkeye that none of the arterial grafts they saved are large enough, and they'll need to use the dying man's aorta. This means BJ needs to wait around for the man to die, which does not sit well with the patient's friend.

Eventually BJ gets the aorta (after giving the man's friend a moment with the body), Father Mulcahey comforts the friend, and Hawkeye, Margaret, and BJ manage to save the patient. There's a tense moment as they realize they went over the 20-minute limit, but fortunately, when the patient wakes up, he starts wiggling his toes.

A chopper comes in with a load of wounded, and Hawkeye sees that one man has a damaged aorta (a large blood vessel coming from the heart). Hawkeye immediately sticks his hand inside the wound to stop the blood loss and declares that if blood flow isn't restored within twenty minutes, the patient will be paralyzed at best. A clock pops up on the screen with the current time, and it will continue to tick down for most of the episode.

As they're taking the patient down, an ambulance pulls up with more wounded. BJ sees that one soldier is beyond saving and informs his friend (another patient). However, he soon gets word from Hawkeye that none of the arterial grafts they saved are large enough, and they'll need to use the dying man's aorta.
