Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Hawkeye and Trapper tell a racist white patient that Dr. Charles Drew, who invented the process to store blood, bled to death after a car crash because he was black and a "whites only" hospital refused to admit him. While Dr. Drew did in fact invent a way to store blood and die in a car crash, the story surrounding the "whites only" hospital is not true, according to his biography.
