"The next person who's nice to me is going to die with boots on -- mine!"
Hawkeye gives Colonel Potter a physical and finds out the colonel has high blood pressure. The colonel has two weeks to lower it. He asks Hawkeye not to say anything to anyone, but pretty soon it is all over camp. Everyone does everything he can to help the colonel lower his pressure. But their attempts only serve to make the colonel madder. Klinger wants to go on R and R, but headquarters changes the forms for the daily reports and they want the clerk to redo sixty days of paperwork. Colonel Potter gives him three days. Because of a shortage of chloroquine, I-corps sends primaquine. Klinger and Roy Goldman come down with a reaction that only Negroes are supposed to have. Everyone thinks Klinger is faking the fatigue and back pains until they realize what is happening. Klinger and Goldman return from R and R beaten and bruised.
Trivia: What was Colonel Potter's blood pressure at the beginning of the episode? At the end?
A note follows the episode stating that people of Mediterranean descent also are prone to the side effects of primaquine. The blood pressure cuff that they use has Velcro which wasn't invented until 1955 and then used only by NASA until the mid 70's.
A forgettable episode.
