The Show Must Go On - S11-E22

Factual error: When the woman is giving birth, they show the baby just after they finally got her out. The baby is clean, no blood and other signs of a recent birth are visible. This is especially unlikely since the doctors had to "cut her open" to liberate the baby from the birth channel.

An Intern's Guide to the Galaxy - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Dubenko is explaining a chemical reaction to the other doctors he starts to write on the wall. In the first shot he writes the following: 2H+ + H then the camera focuses on his audience and we hear continuing writing, then the camera cuts back to Dubenko when on the wall the following is written: 2H+ -> A. (00:24:00)

Time of Death - S11-E6

Audio problem: When the team is moving Mr. Metcalf to a different room, Luca says, "Let's go people. Prime the rapid infuser." Abby says, "subclavian on the right." The shot shows the a close up of the patient's face (Mr. Metcalf). Immediately, that 4-second shot with audio repeats itself, before moving on to the next. (00:12:40)

Try Carter - S11-E3

Revealing mistake: Ray Barnett is shopping down the cereal aisle and a package of brats is thrown into his hand when you can see there is nothing on the shelves other than cereal. (00:39:01)

The Show Must Go On - S11-E22

Revealing mistake: Neela is delivering a baby. As the camera moves around a nurse to show a close up of Neela and the baby, you see her holding the "head" about a foot away from the mom and quickly moves it closer to look like it's coming out of the woman.

An Intern's Guide to the Galaxy - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Ray asks if he can go home, we see Sam writing her number of discharged patients on the board in a close up. The camera then cuts back to the whole group and the size and style of Sam's writing changes. Most noticeable that the circle now stretches over the line between Ray and Abby's count whereas before it was in the middle of Abby's column. (00:42:50)

Robert Romano: The operation was a screaming success if your desired outcome was paralysis.

Trivia: Doug Ross frequently hung his head low, appearing ashamed or thoughtful or privately amused, depending on the scene. This wasn't just an element of the character: George Clooney had taken to writing his lines on papers, sheets, and other props.
