- Episode shows
- M*A*S*H S3E2, "Rainbow Bridge": M*A*S*H is set in a mobile Army surgical hospital during wartime. This episode is treated as a combat casualty and field-hospital workflow case when the catalog summary does not name a specific injury.
- Clinical takeaway
- This is a high-confidence series/title-derived medical case used only when the catalog did not provide a more specific disease summary. iDRief links it to the most appropriate real-world medical topic without inventing a fictional diagnosis.
