Random Acts - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: After Mark is beaten up, he topples out into the hall when Doug opens the bathroom door.

Make a Wish - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: When Peter goes into Carla's room to talk to her, we see him let go of the door, but in the shot showing him entering the room, he is still holding the door.
One More for the Road - S3-E22
Continuity mistake: In this episode you see Carol and Doug discussing Charlie over phoning and chart-reviewing. Carol is standing beside Doug. Suddenly somebody calls from behind the desk. It's Tommy, a "friend" of Charlie. When he's in the picture, you see Carol sitting in a chair, instead of standing. If she had moved to the chair, she must have done that SO fast, it's impossible.
Continuity mistake: Mark is intubating the man who is paralyzed from the neck down. We can see his hands working - we know it is him by the splint on his wrist and he is talking as he works. However, Malik comes in and calls him away, and he rushes off, but the hands working on the patient don't change.
Continuity mistake: When Jeanie and Al are in the diner, when she spears a piece of fruit on her fork, Al has his hand on his hip. However, when the shot changes and she says, "How about your grandmother?", his hand is up on her shoulder.
Continuity mistake: When Anna leaves the little boy Skyler's room, she has his chart under her right arm - but when she gets through the door and joins Doug in the hall, the chart has transferred to under her left arm, with no time for the change.
Continuity mistake: Oliver, the brain tumour patient, is talking to Anna, Henry, and Carter. He has his right arm up on the bed railing - but as he says "cook", his arm is suddenly down in his lap.
Other mistake: When Doug and the nurses are watching the TV about a motorcycle accident, Kerry comes along and calls him 'Mark'. This could be a character error, but as Doug responds 'yeah', and they talk, it indeed becomes a production error. In real life, the person would have corrected her. (00:07:15)
Continuity mistake: When Kerry is talking to Doug about his fellowship proposal, his stethoscope moves a couple of inches higher on his neck, even though he never touches it.
Continuity mistake: When Carter is examining the patient Tom Angevine who drove into a tree, we can see two very noticeable parallel cuts from his eye to his chin - but as it goes to close up they miraculously disappear.
Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, Peter is holding baby Reese upright when he opens the door to Carla's room, but as the shot changes to show him coming through the door, suddenly the baby is lying horizontally in his arms.
Ground Zero - S4-E6
Continuity mistake: Carter is talking to Carol about his grandmother. The shot is mainly on her but we can see him put his pen away and pick up a chart - then the shot goes to him and we see him do the same thing again.
Ground Zero - S4-E6
Audio problem: When Greene is outside by the river explaining what happened to him, there are a couple of really bad sound edits in the background noise. These are really obvious as the sound suddenly changes, and for some reason the background noise in this scene is very loud, almost as loud as the dialogue; very strange.
Continuity mistake: In season 2, Doug mentioned that he hadn't seen or spoken to his father in 22 years, since he was twelve. But when he's going through his father's things at the motel, he finds pictures of himself from high school. Plus, he mentions his father teaching him how to drive when he was about 13 or 14.
Suggested correction: He said he was 13 or 12 no mention of 14.
Freak Show - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: Peter, Elizabeth, and Romano are with the little boy who has organ reversal and as Romano says "genetic breakthroughs are in the wings", Peter puts on one glove. As Lizzie asks him if something is wrong, he is putting on the glove again. As they continue to talk, he begins to examine Rodney, but when the shot changes, he is still putting on his gloves.
Freak Show - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When Peter comes in to talk to Rodney's father Isaac, the clock on the wall says 11:40 - which it had also read a few scenes earlier when Rodney came out of surgery. After Peter checks the chart and starts to talk to Isaac, the clock has somehow changed to 3:30.

Obstruction of Justice - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: When Carol goes to get Doug to see the sickle-cell patient, the clock reads 3:50. The next few scenes include Rachel arriving at the hospital and being taken to the dentist and for a dual makeovers by Cynthia. When Mark is walking by the same clock with Herb the lawyer, it reads 2:30. He then says goodbye to Herb and his ex-wife arrives to pick up Rachel, who is now back in the ER with Cynthia. The clock times do not reflect the sequence of scenes.
