Preventative Medicine - S7-E22
Continuity mistake: In Potter's quarters Klinger's arm holding the chicken goes from in front of his chest to by his waist between shots.
Factual error: When the camera looks at Lt. Clark, her rank insignia is horizontal. It should set from the apex (point) of the stitching diagonally (top end toward her face).
Continuity mistake: When the pit boss is taking the rolled up 5 containing the pair of dice out of his pocket, his fingers are hiding the end toward Mulcahy. When the camera angle changes, the fingers are moved so Mulcahy can see the hidden dice.
Baby, It's Cold Outside - S7-E9
Factual error: As Hawkeye performs CPR on the hypothermic soldier, he pumps his arms from his ellbows. CPR is done by keeping the arms stiff and pumping with the whole upper body. Hawkeye as a surgeon would know that. Fun Fact: You can perform CPR one-handed in a pinch, but only as long as you keep your arms stiff.
Visible crew/equipment: As Klinger sits in the chair dressed in a winter coat, you can see the boom mic and light panel reflected in his shades.
Audio problem: As the Scrounger comes up to Hawkeye and BJ as they walk out after visiting Radar, you hear the horn honk, but the horn button never gets hit.
Other mistake: After pulling out of the camp to head for the cave, The Bus is shown from several angles. Even though it's loaded, the shots of it travelling are re-used shots from an earlier episode, and the place it stops is a re-used shot from the episode "Rainbow Bridge"
Revealing mistake: When the ambulance arrives in the compound at Christmas eve, it drives through the newly fallen snow, but it doesn't leave any tracks. Vehicles driving over a very thin snow cover always leave dark tracks, because the pressure instantly melts the snow just below the wheels. Even a person walking through the snow would leave dark footprints under these conditions.
Continuity mistake: Charles arranges a prank that involves a cake. The cake looks totally different in the respective shots. At least three cakes were involved: The one Klinger gives to Margret looks different from the one she holds in her hands when walking over to Capt. Hill. The one she holds in her hand in the closeup counter shots is yet another pie.

Continuity mistake: As Lacey tells Margaret of his plans, he has his fork in his right hand. After she asks "What makes that hill so important?" he suddenly has the knife in his right hand, and the fork in the left.
Revealing mistake: During the melee at Rosie's, after Klinger gets his money and jewelry back from the cheats a guy is thrown through windows, and though we hear the sound of smashing glass we see the shreds of plastic fluttering.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: When Hawkeye, Charles, and BJ are in the Swamp, Hawkeye starts his roll about being sick of green, and by the time he heads outside and talks to Margaret the blood splatter on his surgical gown changes.
Continuity mistake: As Charles talks to the guys in the Swamp, his right hand alternates from up at his chest to down by his side several times too quickly to be normal.
Preventative Medicine - S7-E22
Continuity mistake: In the Mess Tent, as Lacey explains the reason he wants the hill to Margaret, he is holding a knife in his right hand. A second later, it's gone.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: As Hawkeye storms out of the Swamp, he leaves Charles, Potter, and BJ behind. After the angle changes, you can see there is nobody in the tent, and the still is missing.
Hot Lips Is Back in Town - S7-E19
Factual error: In the beginning, you can see that there's a First Lieutenant bar on Margaret's left collar instead of the medical symbol Caduceus, like Charles has on.
Continuity mistake: As Klinger and Margaret are talking about the date, he takes a sip of his drink and goes to put his hand down. After the angle changes and he goes to say his line, he repeats putting the glass down.
They Call the Wind Korea - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When Klinger is coming over the hill at the end of the episode, the camera shows him in the outdoor setting, and the spot he's on has sparse vegetation. When the camera goes to a close up of him, the trees and shrubs are thicker and closer to him. This alternates a couple of times.
Peace on Us - S7-E2
Revealing mistake: Klinger says "The sun is going to ruin my comb-out", fingering his hair net. He has curlers under his hair net, but his hair is not around the curlers, they're just stuffed into his hair net. (00:01:10)
Suggested correction: True, but doing CPR the real way is going to likely seriously injure the actor it is being performed upon.

Explaining why mistakes occur does not invalidate them.

Chest compressions can definitely be performed by pumping from the elbow, one or two handed. The first documented use was in 1891, so Hawkeye would be aware of it. However, modern CPR standards, including straight arm procedures, were not developed until at least 1960 by the American Heart Association. Using straight arms and bending at the hips uses the larger muscle groups of the core and legs, which provides more control, as well as stamina. This is not an error for the Korean War era.
Additionally, what Lorg said - you don't want to hurt the actor, you can see his shoulders rise as his arms straighten, giving the illusion of compressions. There is another episode where Hawkeye is performing chest compressions similarly, and yells at the unconscious patient that his arms are getting tired, which is what would happen with bent elbow compressions, and one of the reasons modern technique uses straight arms.
I didn't know that, but it makes sense that CPR procedures would evolve. You should submit that as a direct correction to my mistake.
