";s:4:"text";s:3635:" As Hawkeye comments, "We can put a sign up in the OR - three stooges, no waiting." Margaret brings Newsom by to meet them. With two doctors out of commission, they put in a request for a replacement surgeon. Charles wants to play his Caruso recordings while Potter can't stand them. Attending to Newsom's patient, Hawkeye is forced to make a drastic decision to amputate the leg. Colonel Potter and Major Winchester are both quarantined with the mumps, while Klinger tries not to catch the disease and suffer one of its side-effects: sterility.
They reach an impasse when Winchester confesses that he too is frightened at the prospect of suffering sterility because of the mumps. Charles gargles in the morning while everyone else is sleeping. In OR, Newsom shows his chops. Margaret is determined to get her CO well. Later that day, there's more wounded, and with some of the nurses sill out sick, OR is chaotic. He leaves the OR and is nowhere to be found. Later that day, one arrives - Captain Steven Newsom (Edward Herrmann).

Col. Potter also comes down with a case of the mumps, much to the glee of Winchester, who mocks Potter for coming down with a "childhood malady."
Klinger is also susceptible, but unlike Winchester, he's taking it very seriously (knowing that sterility is an occasional side effect in adult cases), keeping Potter at arm's length (he also begins spraying his office with some sort of mumps-killing mist as if he's an exterminator). Newsom begins muttering to himself, staring off into space. They begin to drive each other crazy.

appears in the Season 8 episode of M*A*S*H titled "Heal Thyself". One early morning, Colonel Potter feels lumpy and sweaty; Father Mulcahy feels responsible for exposing 4077 staff to Sister Theresa's Orphanage mumps epidemic. The key element is that something is amiss with the new surgeon.
Potter reassures Winchester that they are both receiving sufficient care and will recover fine.
They find him sitting on the floor of the tent, in tears, rubbing his hands back and forth. His efforts seem "effortless" as he more than holds his own. Klinger is as manic in the quest for cleanliness as he was for Section 8. to handle the load on their own. He moves right in, displaying wonderful skills. A temporary replacement surgeon, Newsome, is quickly brought into the 4077th and seems to be a gem in terms of both personality and ability. Everyone in the unit seems to take to him immediately, and his jokey method while working fits in well. Potter and Winchester are still having difficulties getting along, with Potter despising Winchesters' opera music & Winchester openly insults Potter's favorite novelist. During one operation, Newsom starts to seem nervous and indecisive, unable to decide whether to try and save the leg of a patient or to amputate.
