One thing that kills me every time I see it in mash is this damn sign

this sign, with it's comforting words "best care anywhere", doesn't face road or the people entering the 4077- it faces the soldiers and doctors leaving it

here you can see radar and hawkeye driving away from the 4077, surely having read the sign as they left

I both love and hate to think that it faces that way on purpose, that the doctors and nurses and surgeons within the unit are the ones that really need the reassurance that they're doing a good job, that they're competent, that they're skilled, that they're providing the "best care anywhere"- they need the reassurance more than the wounded do, because their care being the best anywhere also means that their suffering hasn't been for naught
