Quincy's lecture on the finer points of forensic pathology was well received. The medical examiner from Los Angeles never thought he'd get out of the room as the many doctors, technicians, and detectives present barraged him with questions. Finally Quincy was able to escape and hail the hotel shuttle back to the Hilton. There at the hotel, Quincy was able to convince the valet to give him the keys to the LA County Ford LTD wagon without a ticket. In reality, the hotel employee was happy to get the hearse out of his garage, even if it were only temporarily. The car gave him the willies.

After carefully navigating the streets of San Francisco, Quincy found his destination. The doctor from LA drove the hearse into the drive marked "San Francisco Memorial Hospital Parking." Quincy found a space next to a rusting motor home.

As Quincy exited the car a voice from the top of the RV shouted, "Hey! The Morgue is around back!"

Quincy looked up, surprised to see a young man who looked to be in his twenties, and called back, "Oh I, won't be long."

The scruffy young man called out to Quincy, who was already walking towards the building, "You can't leave that thing there, it will scare away my lunch date!"

Quincy entered the emergency entrance of the hospital and was greeted by a very attractive blond nurse.

The Nurse inquired, "Can I help you, sir?"

Quincy replied, "Oh in more ways than you can imagine..."

Caught off guard, the nurse wasn't sure whether to be offended or flattered. Just then the chief of surgery entered.

Trapper John McIntyre called to the visitor, "Dr. Quincy, will you please leave Nurse Brancusi alone!"

Quincy smiled and shook McIntyre's hand, "Trapper it's been way too long."

The Chief Surgeon explained to Gloria Brancusi, "Quincy and I served together in Korea. He's now a big shot M.E. In L.A."

Brancusi thought, LA, it figures. But Gloria smiled and shook the visiting doctor's hand, and excused herself.

Another doctor inserted himself into the conversation, " Doctor Quincy, I'm Doctor Stanley Riverside II, head of emergency services, it is a pleasure to meet you. I've read some of your articles on forensic science- brilliant."

Trapper then rescued his old friend, "That's nice Stanley, but Quincy and I have some catching up to do. What do you say to the nickel tour Quince?" Relieved to be free of Riverside, who reminded him of a younger version of Astin, Quincy eagerly agreed.

Upon entering the maternity ward, Trapper explained, "This is one of my favorite places." The sight of all the infants even made the stoic medical examiner smile.

A pretty Korean-American nurse who looked to be in her late twenties came over and asked, "Dr. McIntyre what occasion do we owe the honor to?"

The Chief of Surgery honored, "Oh just giving a fellow doctor a tour." The nurse smiled and nodded.

Trapper then turned to the Medical Examiner, "Quincy, remember that baby you delivered at the 4077th?"

Quincy laughed and started, "How could I forget, I thought Frank Burns was going to explode..." The Medical Examiner stopped mid-sentence when he saw the shocked look on the nurse's face. He then saw her name tag read 'Q.C. Becker, R.N.' Quincy then incredulously asked Trapper, "Is that?"

McIntyre laughingly introduced, "Dr. Quincy, this is Quinn Charlene Becker, R.N. I believe you two met in Korea about 28 years ago..."

Nurse Becker, known as 'Quincie' to her friends, immediately ran into Quincy's arms and gave him a big hug. Becker was born in the middle of the Korean war and her parents were a Marine that was killed in action and South Korean Woman . She and her family then were able to move out of the conflict to California thanks to some wheeling and dealing by Trapper and Quincy.

While Quincy and Becker were embracing, Dr. 'Gonzo' Gates entered maternity, complaining, "Trapper! It took me forever to find you. Some morgue attendant parked his hearse next to the Titanic and scared off my lunch date!" Gates looked up and cried, "Now he's hugging her!"

Becker looked up and admonished, "Gonzo, we never had a 'lunch date.' Besides, I've been busy at work this whole time!"

The Chief of Surgery then held up a hand and said, "Woah now, everybody settle down. Gonzo, this is Dr. Quincy of the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's office. Quincy, this is Dr. G. Alonzo Gates, a talented surgeon who occasionally needs to look before he leaps to a conclusion."

While shaking Gonzo's hand, Quincy remarked, "I sometimes have that problem too."

Seeing people were calming down, Trapper explained, "Dr. Quincy served with me briefly in Korea. He was a Navy doctor temporarily assigned to my M.A.S.H. Unit. There he actually brought Nurse Quincie into the world."

Gonzo put two and two together and observed, "So Quincie is named for you. Wow. I didn't deliver many babies as a medic in Vietnam."

Quincy looked serious and remarked, "You were in-country? That was a mess. I was recalled to active duty from reserve status in 1968 for a one year tour at the Naval Support Activity Da Nang Hospital. Saw a lot of things there I'd like to forget."

Gates got a little wide eyed and said, "The Navy Hospital at Da Nang, I'm very familiar with it. They saw their share of action there, especially in '68. Wait, you're that Commander Quincy? I've heard of you! A lot of Marines said you were the doc to see to get patched up by or some hootch from."

Quincy smiled and confessed, "Guilty. Though I'm a Captain now in the Naval Reserve. But it was Trapper that showed me how to make a moonshine still."

McIntyre then did a mock salute and said, "Captain Quincy, sir. Wow, I am surprised you are still in the reserves."

Quincy shrugged and explained, "Gives me a chance to heal young living Sailors and Marines after spending most of my days working with the dead at the coroner's office. Don't get me wrong, I find my work very rewarding. It's just nice to have a break from it."

The Chief of Surgery nodded in understanding.

Nurse Quincie then asked the visitor from Los Angeles. "Doctor Quincy, would you like to get some dinner and catch up after my shift is over around seven this evening?"

Quincy agreed and Gonzo made a face that displayed a combination of annoyance and jealousy.
