Drs. Pfieffer and Potter both consider leaving the VA, but an urgent case involving exposure to A-bomb radiation, together with their sense of dedication to medicine and to the patients, keeps them at the hospital.
Klinger writes a letter to Radar about life working at the VA hospital with Potter and Father Mulcahy. Dr. Boyer, a good surgeon with a bad reputation and attitude -- and a prosthetic leg -- starts at the VA hospital.
Colonel Potter returns from Korea and becomes the Chief of Staff and Surgery for the General Pershing Veterans Hospital. Klinger returns as his clerk and Father Mulcahy becomes a chaplain with the hospital.
