Continuity mistake: When the man who doesn't speak English is lying in treatment 4, in Dixie's closeups she and the patient's 'friend' are standing in front of the wall with the white dispenser, but in the repeated wide shots of Early with the patient, that wall is seen behind Early and nobody is standing in front of it.

Continuity mistake: When the man who doesn't speak English is in treatment 4, there's a closeup of the Datascope 850 monitor, and then the girl points to the EKG monitoring unit behind the gurney and asks Dixie why the thing is bouncing up and down. Problem is that the Datascope 850 is used by the paramedics and it's not actually in that treatment room. The treatment room has a Zenith Travenol unit.

Revealing mistake: On scene with the little girl trapped in the hole, when they shine the flashlight down the hole in the overhead closeup, it's too obvious that it's a doll with its arm raised up, plus the fact that we see plenty of space around the doll, contradicting the plot of the little girl being wedged in a tight space.
