Emergency!

Boot - S2-E19

Other mistake: After Marco offers Boot the ground beef while the guys are trying to figure out what's wrong with the dog, the tones drop and we hear the dispatcher say, "Station 51, Engine 95, Foam 27," but the odd subtitles read "Engine 95, Phone 27." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Boot - S2-E19

Other mistake: When Brackett asks Early to see the patient (Jaime Farr) who claims he can't move his arm because of a curse, Early walks into treatment 5, but in the shot from inside the room we can see that they're in treatment 2.

Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny are with the woman whose hand is caught in the mixer, we can see tape on the side of the stand mixer (Sunbeam) as well on the food containers, covering all their brand names.

The Indirect Method - S5-E6

Factual error: When Roy is electrocuted and falls from the roof, after Karen uses the defibrillator paddles on Roy, she lifts both paddles, looks at the EKG monitor and says "He's converted." How exactly could Karen have known that he's converted? It's impossible for the EKG monitor to show anything at all. Either the defib paddles have to be in contact with Roy's body for the "quick-look" to get a reading, which they weren't, or the ECG electrode discs have to be on Roy's chest connecting him to the EKG monitor, and they weren't. As an aside, just watching Marco having problems attaching the air mask, and quickly glancing up towards the camera frustrated, then giving up is priceless.
