Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1
Factual error: When the woman is giving birth and Dr. Quinn has to perform a c-section, she gives the baby to Mrs. Cooper, and after about a minute, she gives the baby to the mother. Dr. Quinn then leans towards Mrs. Cooper and they smile happily; she doesn't attempt to continue the "surgery". Even nowadays doctors need several minutes to close up again after a c-section, so there is no way that Dr. Quinn was anywhere near finished. Leaving the patient cut open on the bed is pretty irresponsible, something she would never do as she has to prove that she is a good M.D. (00:30:00)

Then as Jake pounds on the door he tells her he has a business to run, and the moving boom pole casts a shadow on the wall, at the top, right side of the screen. (00:26:35)
Visible crew/equipment: Shadow from the boom is visible above Sully when he's talking with Michaela about Jake's condition. (00:27:26)
