Ann Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you needed an operation, who would you rather have operate on you: The Cast of ER The Cast of Quincy The Cast of Mash Key factors.....cleanliness, bedside manner, ability to assess what went wrong afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Although my first reaction was to say ER....just because of George Clooney and those absolutely beautiful eyes....I would have to say MASH. I love MASH and I still fall asleep almost every night watching MASH reruns. Hawkeye would definitely be my surgeon of choice because of his wonderful humor and bedside manner. Of course, Alan Alda isn't hard on the eyes, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 That's a tough question, Ann. As I recall, Quincy was a Medical Examiner. So that cast would be my very, very last choice - and probably represent my last operation, too. The ER cast always seemed to be waiting for a critically needed OR and often performed surgery in the ER - not the best place. And then, not all of the MASH surgeons were actually trained as surgeons. Didn't Lt. Honnicut (sp?) return to his home to be a PCP. And, that cast's experience was with war injuries. Who knows how long it would take one of them to think about lung cancer. All in all, I didn't like him but I'd still take my Fairfax, VA surgeon over any of your choices. Fun question.

Outrider1 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 For expertise in finding out what was wrong, ER. To do the surgery definitely MASH. They are better in a pinch if something goes wrong on the table and thinking fast for a solution. FYI: Alan Alda , I always loved just watching his facial expressions and such and I agree even now he is not hard to look at and yes Dr. Honnicutt (Mike Farrel the actors name) was a Surgeon, whether that was his primary before he got to the mash unit was never stated. (I'm sure you can tell I have watched more than my share of MASH and still love that show!) lol) Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Although I think the MASH unit had a better survival rate with patients, I would prefer Gregory House. He's definitely not bad on the eyes and always solves the puzzle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Ann, sorry to be another renegade but I have to agree with Becky. House always pulls off a miracle in the end. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlemike Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I gotta go with Marcus Welby for my primary and Ben Casey for my surgeon. I have never watched any of the medical sitcoms for the last 20 years so these are the only 2 I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 This is easy for me. As I used to have persoanlized lic. plates which said "MASH" on them, and a full sized picture of Alan Alda in his army greens hanging in my dorm room. I have every season of MASH on DVD, the Complete book of MASH, and a MASH trivia game my answer is M*A*S*H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
