Summary
Dr. John Carter thought becoming a doctor would involve white coats, polite patients, and maybe the occasional cup of bad hospital coffee. Instead, he’s been drafted into the Korean War, shoved through a crash course on “don’t get shot”, and sent straight from med school to a MASH unit thirty miles from the front lines.
Now he’s at the 4077th, where the coffee is strong enough to dissolve scalpels, the nurses run the place better than the officers, and the surgeons range from slightly eccentric to completely unhinged. Between Kerry Weaver barking orders, Peter Benton acting like drill sergeant and trauma god rolled into one, and Doug Ross somehow flirting with literally everyone including the supply tent, Carter is just trying not to pass out, screw up, or cry in front of Carol Hathaway (who, for some reason, keeps calling him baby).
Oh, and there’s also the small matter of keeping wounded soldiers alive while artillery shakes the ground and helicopters rain chaos on the camp. No pressure.
At the 4077th, the motto is simple: “Sleep is optional. Sarcasm is mandatory.”
… what the FUCK!!!

Summary
Pupils restricted, breathing labored, vision spinning. His concentration is slipping, slipping, slipping. He moves his head like the giant school bell from the academy he attended. No more pain, no more flashbacks, no more Lucy, no more pain, no more blood, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy—
He stares at his reflection as cold tap water melts off his face. His eyebags are getting ridiculous, not to mention his perpetually bloodshot eyes. He rubs them as if that helps, then washes his hands numb.
When did he lose control? He hasn’t and fuck you for suggesting it. His back hurts, his anxiety, his sleep… he needs them, and he was prescribed them. He was prescribed them, and he is a fucking doctor and can handle himself.OR
John struggles to ask for help after the accident. So he doesn't.

Summary
Carter picked at his arm as the social worker’s crappy Toyota pulled off the main road and onto a long, cracked driveway. The house loomed at the top of a small hill—big and old and too cheerful for how dead he felt inside.
He didn’t want to be here. But apparently, living on the streets and doing drugs makes people feel just bad enough to do something, but not bad enough to actually care.
Four months on the street. Four. And it took a trip to the ER with a fever of 104 and an infected abscess before someone finally decided, Huh, maybe we shouldn’t let the heir to the Carter family fortune rot behind a dumpster.

Summary
Carter didn’t mean to.
God, he didn’t fucking mean to.
He sat hunched on the floor of the dirty bathroom, knees up to his chest, arms wrapped around his middle like he could squeeze the truth out of him, like maybe he could wring the life back out through his pores. The pregnancy test lay on the cracked tile like a taunt. Pink. Positive. Final.
The overhead bulb buzzed like a dying insect. Flickered every few seconds like God was blinking at him—watching. Judging.

Summary
He had become a permanent fixture in her home recently; after the birth, he had started staying over to help her. They hadn’t talked about it. He had just stood at the threshold of her door and stared at her in that way of his, resolute, takeout in one hand and a bag with homemade food from their coworkers in the other. She was so grateful, so relieved, that she couldn’t bring herself to pretend to refuse him.
No, they didn’t talk about it. How he was the one she paged, how in her panic as the first contractions started, the only person she could think of as the pain struck her, the only person that could comfort her, was him.
Or: Jing-Mei and Carter help each other heal.
