Did Henry even do rounds?
It seems the focus on the patient content early on was with Hawkeye, and in later years more doctors were shown.
I think Charles is under-rated as he was not showy, but quietly understood his patients - such as with the pianist patient.
Agreed, Like when the Chinese POW cuts the Joan Van Ark character (Hawk's "Married" love interest) that causes the GI to die that was Trapper's Patient "So you're getting all that juice you need?" Hawk: "That's not what we're here for" Frank did check on some patients, like when Hawk asks him to listen to a patient's heart and sedates him at the same time? He falls over on the patient! Also is the time that BJ, Hawk and Sydney all re-create the battlefield for the medic that loses his little brother "Stevie", that guy deserves all kinds of kudos for his guest acting on that one! Henry did one great round, as well as others when he came all the way back to Korea from Japan to check on "very sick" Radar! But yes, is no telling how often Hawk, Trap, BJ let a ship out a day or two early or late to ride with their "buddy" over the years!

I've DVRed 3 hour segments of almost the entire series (some episodes that I don't like I never DVRed) thanks to Sundance and WGN having all day marathons over the last few years. When we retire for the night, we play one of these segments so for the last few months, I have repeatedly watched episodes over and over...and I knew them all already. Now while watching all these over, I've noticed how awful or just impatient some of the doctors were with the nurses...especially the 1st 3 seasons.
Trapper, Blake and Burns were terrible to them most of the time. Trapper and Blake were mostly just wanted them to hurry up with instruments/sponges most of the time. Now it appears that Hawkeye never had a cross word for any of them except to hit on them. Certainly he was mean to Hot Lips from time to time but he was never unkind towards the other nurses.
Not sure if it was just an accident to be set up like that or there was a conscious effort to show Hawkeye like this or not.
Based on comments I've heard from a few nurse friends, rudeness to nurses seems to be pretty common in hospitals. I wonder if the show was intentional or accidental. They had a nurse (retired army one, maybe?) as a technical consultant. I remember a memorial to her at the end of one of the episodes. I wouldn't be surprised if she advised the "doctors" to behave the way they did.
