Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Doing some creative math in his off-hours, Hawkeye (Alan Alda) figures out how much money he would have made during the Korean war if he'd been a civilian doctor. Dutifully annotating the results, Hawk presents the Army with a bill for services rendered. And on another front, Charles (David Ogden Stiers) arrogantly demonstrates the latest American doctoral techniques to three Korean medics--and thereby sets himself up for another generous serving of Humble Pie.
