I thought that Greg’s problem was that he wasn’t going to be chief surgeon, not that he wouldn’t be a surgeon altogether.
He’s Frank Burns.
No it doesn’t, because none of the principlas lived through the experience. Everything is written from a modern point of view and transposed into a Sixties environment. Some things they get right, some they don’t. Historical research can be done, but if you want the audience to see an incident as rape in order to make a point, then you disregard how it would have been treated at the time.
Ah, yes. The good old days when a guy could hold down a woman & fuck her even if she said no, repeatedly. After all, she’d already fucked him & they were engaged, so it was A-OK!
We don’t know that Joan thought that Greg had raped her–at the time or after much thought. But she had obviously not forgotten that ugly incident. It was definitely one of the points that she tallied up while deciding whether she would be Better Off Without Him–as Ann Landers liked to counsel her readers when they were evaluating their marriages…
No, he was applying for his Residency.
Is it possible that Greg has a woman in Viet Nam? A local or an Army nurse or something?
Well maybe - but he jumped Joan real fast when he arrived.
Who wouldn’t? Hell, I might…
Greg reported that his boss said that “he didn’t have any brains in his fingers.” Also, at one point he was thinking of becoming a psychiatrist.
