As I came to the mash 4077 that first day I learned more in the first hour work in the or then in any hospital at the states and I been to them all. Hawkeye wrote in his book when intercepted by...
Part 2 by Sandy
Radar on the PA shouting INCOMING WOUNDED! ALL OR STAFF TO TRIAGE! Damn! He muttered! I just got out of OR, don't we get a break around here?! He put the journal under his pillow, pulled on his boots and ran out of the tent towards the OR. He was running towards OR when...
Part 3 by Anne
He tripped over a stretcher and fell onto the open one next to it. He tried to stand up but his leg was twisted under him and it hurt like heck. Two corpsmen picked up the stretcher and took him over to triage where BJ was tagging people.
"Well looky here. Been in the line of fire without us Hawkeye?" BJ laughed
"I tripped over something and i think i may have broken my leg." Hawkeye shouted in agony.
"Stay here, I'll get Potter."
Potter came over and looked at Hawkeye's leg. It was definitely broken so they gave him a level one triage tag and left him lying out there. Hawkeye lay there, now feeling what his patients felt like.

As he lay there, each minute seemed like an hour. Each time some one went by, he was sure they were coming for him. They had given him a pain shot but the leg still hurt like hell. When was it his turn? Looking at his watch he saw that only 20 minutes had past. 20 minutes! The shot was beginning to make him feel a little fuzzy. As he lay there contemplating what was going on, he fell asleep. Suddenly he was awakened by the sound of shell fire! What the hell was going on? He tried to sit up but was over come by a wave of dizziness. As he lay back down he glanced around..the 4077th was gone. Where the hell was he?
Part 5 by Anne
He sat up again and tried to stand up. He was about to collapse because of the pain in his leg when someone grabbed him and pulled him back down. A dirty faced medic grabbed his shirt and yelled at him to lay down and shut up or he would get them all killed. He told the medic he was a doctor from the MASH 4077.
"Sure ya are, dog tags say your name is Roy Klein and you're a sergeant."
"No, I'm Benjamin Pierce, but you can call me Hawkeye. I'm a captain."
"Mmmhmm. Don't worry Roy, Hawkeye, whatever the hell your name is. The choppers are coming and we're gonna get you to a doctor."
Hawkeye couldn't figure out what was going on but it didn't matter because he blacked out from the pain in his leg. He didn't know it but he was soon placed on a chopper and flown to the 4077th.
He woke up on a stretcher at a triage with a level two tag. They were getting ready to bring him in for surgery. Hawkeye spotted BJ and told him it was okay, he didn't need surgery because his leg was just broken. As two corpsmen carried Hawkeye in BJ told Charles that this guy named Klein knew his name and was referring to a shrapnel wound as a broken leg.
"Probably just hallucinating." remarked Charles.
"Yeah, still, I bet he's got an interesting story to tell."
Part 6 by Sandy
Why was everyone acting so strangely? How the hell did he wind up with someone else's dog tags? and just how had he wound up at the front. He must have been hallucinating..that's it. He had hallucinated being at the front and now he was back at the 4077. He relaxed as he was being wheeled into the OR.
When BJ came over to the table he said "Beej! What kind of drugs did you give me? I have been having some crazy dreams!" "We haven't given you any drugs yet soldier!" he replied "and how do you know my name?" "BJ what's the matter with you? It's me..Hawkeye" Hawkeye said getting a bit alarmed when BJ just looked at him with a blank face. "Buddy I don't know who Hawkeye is and I don't know you. Now let us get you under so we can fix that leg!"
Part 7 by nsalem
"BJ its me its," Hawkeye said as they started putting him under. An hour later Hawkeye woke up in the swamp. "BJ its me Hawkeye." Hawkeye said as he started waking up.
"Its okay Hawkeye we just fixed your leg."
"What the hell did you give me?"
Part 8 by Anne
"Morphine, why?"
"'Cause I had some really weird dream that I was this guy named Klein and you didn't know me. It's good to be back in the swamp though."
"That's no dream soldier, that's the truth. I hope the Hawkeye thing didn't mess you up, I thought that was your nickname. I was wondering though, how do you know my name, and how do you know we call this place the swamp?"
"What do you mean? I'm right here BJ, on my old cot. But, where's the still?"
"Charles, listen to this guy. He's talking about some still and swears he knows me and has been here before."
"We should never have let them move the extra soldiers into tents. It is a disgrace, sharing a room with a common foxhole fred!"
"Charles! Charles!" Hawkeye shouted, "You know me! Stop the joke you guys, it was funny. I swear. You got me."
A nurse came over to check on Hawkeye and turned to the doctors with a look of horror on her face.
"Sir, he's bleeding badly. I don't think he's gonna last long."
"Apply pressure and try to keep him alive until I find the Father." whispered BJ.
"Where's he going? What's happening?" shouted Hawkeye.
Father Mulcahy came rushing in with BJ and was contemplating how to give a Jewish soldier the last rites when Hawkeye's eyes closed.
"I'm Hawkeye. Pierce! The M*A*S*H 4077th! What is going on!"
He woke up to find himself in complete darkness.
Part 9 by nsalem
Waking up Hawkeye looked around pre-op. BJ came in. "BJ its me Hawkeye."
"Hey Hawkeye how you doing?"
"Finally you said its me. I had this weird dream that people were calling me Roy Klein."
"You are Roy. You told us to call you Hawkeye."
Part 10 by Anne
"But, I thought Roy died."
"You almost did, but Charles saved you with some sort of new surgical technique."
"So, I am still Roy."
"Yes, Roy, you are still Roy."
"No I'm not! I'm Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, from Crabapple Cove, Maine! BJ, you and I have lived in the swamp for a more then a year now! Our old roommate was Frank but then he went home and Charles was sent over. You have a wife named Peg and a baby girl named Erin. You live in Mill Valley, California. Your name is BJ because your mother's name was Bea and your father's was Jay! What else can I tell you to make you believe that I am not Roy Klien?!"
"Look, I don't know how you know that stuff," said BJ, astonished, "But my roommate is called Barry Fred "eagle eye" Perce. He came from Crabgrass Caverns, Minnesota. In fact here he is now. Eagle! You gotta meet this guy!"
A tall man with dark hair was standing with his back to them. When BJ called him name, he turned and Hawkeye gasped.
Part 11 by nsalem
It was him Hawkeye. He had Hawkeye's face. Roy fainted and woke up in post-op. "Hawkeye, Hawkeye," BJ said while shaking him.
"Hey BJ you know me."
"Yes I do. You seemed to have had a fever. You're better now."
Part 12 by Anne
"Thank god, I've been having the wierdest dream."
"I wouldn't be suprised. Your tempature was over a hundred most of the time. You kept saying you were Hawkeye though. Why?"
"It's a long story, but basically, in my dream, I was here, but I wasn't Hawkeye, and there was some other guy named Eagle eye and.....my head hurts a lot!"
"You better lie down. Your tempature is still a bit high and it sounds like you're confused."
"Yeah, I better lie down. What's been going on around here?"
"Nothing much. Colonel Potter is going to let me move you into the swamp soon. We need the room and you seem to be doing fine."
"Sounds great."
"I'm going to turn in myself, it's getting late. I'll see you tomorrow Hawk."
"Alright, bye BJ."
As soon as BJ had left the lights in Post-Op turned off and Hawkeye was just drifting off to sleep when he heard gasping. After a few seconds he realized no nurse was coming and he tried to stand up. His cast threw him off balance and he fell on the floor, banging his head violently on the bedside on the way down.
