Technology has changed since Hawkeye was last in a proper hospital. They're a whole lot more impressive than they were, bigger, too. But the general idea is the same. A MASH had been something entirely different to get used to, though. Different kinds of people, different equipment, different patients. Certainly different sicknesses, different wounds to treat.
But a hospital is still a hospital, and maybe most people don't like them, but Hawkeye feels at home here, as much as he had in Boston.
He'd been unsure at first if this is what he should be doing, getting straight back on the horse after Korea, so to speak. He'd thought maybe he needed to get away from the blood for a while, but it turned out to be the opposite. This is where he's supposed to be.
"The jello here is to die for," he says, giving her a wry smile. It's probably crappy, but she's got to eat something. Eating jello as an adult doesn't really seem respectable at any other time though, so he's of the opinion that she should live it up while she can.
