In 2018, Alan Alda revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The neurodegenerative disorder targets the the central nervous system that affects movement, often causing tremors.
On June 11,1997, Larry Gelbart, Larry Linville, and David Ogden Stiers, attended the decommissioning ceremony of one of the few remaining MASH units, in Seoul, South Korea. It was supplanted by a CSH, Combat Support Hospital, or Deployable Medical Systems (DEPMEDS), also known as a Deployable Field Hospital.
CSH is a combat area support hospital. That is the hospital is generally fixed to one location and can provide a bit more care than immediate trauma and emergency surgery. MASH, on the other hand, is a mobile army surgical hospital. The idea was to bring the life saving surgery as close to the fighting as possible. Since the military transportation has gotten better and medical procedures have improved, there is not as much of a need to move the hospital close to the fighting. I is better to keep the hospital in one place and move the casualties.
