Dramatic medical TV series about a doctor spun off from the sitcom M*A*S*H taking place in the seventies and eighties after the Korean War, where Dr. John McIntyre (Pernell Roberts) is now head surgeon at San Francisco Memorial Hospital. Roberts' earlier claim to fame was that he had played Adam Cartwright on Bonanza. Fellow nurse was Starsh (Mary McCarty).

In the splash panel, the two other pictures are of Bonanza co-stars Lorne Greene, who was doing commercials for Alpo, and Michael Landon, who starred in Little House on the Prarie. To his right is Dan Blocker.

Trapper's co-worker was Gonzo (Gregory Harrison), who lived in a trailer.

A co-worker was Dr. Riverside (Charles Seibert), and there was a younger nurse named Ripples (Christopher Norris).
