My Mentor - S1-E2

Factual error: When Carla talks to JD about Elliot in Spanish she is seen wearing wedding and engagement rings. The character is not yet married in the series.

My Common Enemy - S4-E7

Factual error: In the scene where J.D goes to Elliot's apartment and finds Dan there he sings along to "Thank you" by Dido. However that song is from the album "No Angel". The album cover shown in the episode is "Life for rent" which doesn't feature the song.

My Long Goodbye (2) - S6-E15

Factual error: When Lloyd is driving Jack back and listening to speed metal, his gear stick is in park.

My Inconvenient Truth - S7-E3

Factual error: The Toyota Prius uses an electronic transmission that requires the ignition to be turned on. Since J.D. said that he had no idea how to operate the car, he could not have pushed it from the parking space because he wouldn't have been able to put it in neutral.

Mistakes

My Way Home - S5-E7

Character mistake: Early in the episode, Keith pages JD from home to the hospital. When JD arrives, he asks Keith what's the big emergency and Keith asks if he wants the patient to be prescribed unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin. JD gets angry and says that they're the exact same thing. This is in fact completely incorrect. Low molecular weight heparin is made from fragments of unfractionated heparin. They have different effects in their metabolism, half life and dose monitoring (unfractionated needs a blood test, low molecular weight doesn't). The choice between unfractionated and LMWH is an important clinical decision and should not be dismissed as "the exact same thing".
