The Conscience of the King - S1-E14
Plot hole: After Kirk sees Leighton laying next to the rocks, he rushes over to examine him. He places one hand on Leighton's arm and the other on Leighton's waist and declares "It's Tom Leighton...he's dead." All this without the use of a medical tricorder or even the experienced opinion of the ship's doctor to confirm what Kirk is seeing. (00:10:46)
Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5
Other mistake: In the final scene, Kirk is still in the transporter room, but does not have on a visor when the ambassador transports out. Even if he did, humans can still go mad if wearing one and that's why Spock operates the transporter. Spock has his visor on, but then you see Kirk walk out of the transporter room without a visor and he is not going mad.
Trivia: The Vulcan Nerve Pinch was invented by Leonard Nimoy as a way for Spock to overpower opponents without having to resort to violence.

Answer: Kirk was getting his physical and Dr. McCoy probably turned off communications, because if he hadn't, Kirk would have left and headed straight for the bridge, leaving McCoy irritated.
