Question: If everyone involved in the scheme knew that Clayton's mother would get in the way and really didn't want to let Jack do the surgery why did they call her to the hospital? Yes she's on the call sheet but couldn't they erase her name of the sheet to make the surgery and scheme go smoother? I mean it's $100 million dollars at stake and they have had a year to plan everything out.

Character mistake: During the operation, one of the surgeons asks the anaesthetist what he'd used for anaesthesia, to which the anaesthetist replies, "Midazolam and Fentanyl". Although these drugs are used in anaesthesia, often on induction, they are not themselves induction agents and would not cause a patient to appear anaesthetised. Also, on the monitors it shows arterial line tracings, and no sign of an arterial line (however the radial artery in the wrist is often used, so may be covered up), but the CVP is also shown on the monitor, and this is definitely absent from the patient as it would be in his neck.
Clay Beresford: So it's tough love today, huh?
Dr. Jack Harper: You think this is a joke?

Chosen answer: They still had to follow hospital protocol, they couldn't risk getting into trouble over a technicality at such a critical stage of their plan. Since he had just married Jessica Alba, her rights as his wife now superseded those of his mother, and so as far as the scheming group knew, the mother was essentially powerless to make decisions for her son. They had no way of knowing she would go to the lengths that she did to save him.
