[edit] Overview

A young Korean boy, apparently an orphan, arrives as a patient at the hospital and Trapper John wants to adopt him and send him to the United States. After he and a helicopter pilot rescue the boy from the middle of the camp’s minefield, a nun from the nearby orphanage arrives with the boy’s mother.

The season 8 episode “Yessir, That’s Our Baby” is largely a retelling of this episode, from a somewhat more "realistic" or "historically accurate" perspective.
