Continuity mistake: When the babysitter runs into Rampart with the child who swallowed phenobarbital pills, Brackett picks the boy up and carries him into treatment 5 (window on door), but in the following shots from inside the room we can see they're actually in treatment 2 (windowless door and set up differently). Then after they place the pacemaker Dixie leaves the room, and in the shot from the hallway she's coming out of treatment 5.
Continuity mistake: After Sharon calls out Dr. Early's name in the hallway, because paging him didn't occur to her, when she finds Early they walk into treatment 2 in the shot from the hallway, but in the shot from inside the room they're all in treatment 5, not 2.
Continuity mistake: After John makes a sarcastic comment, while he and Roy are in the treatment room with Dr. Early, Roy takes the squad's oxygen tank with him when he leaves the room, but when he exits the ER to get into the squad, the oxygen tank is gone.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
