Scrubs

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Elliot is missing J.D. and talking to him a lot on her phone, he asks her to drop the phone into Dr. Cox's pocket. She drops it into his left coat pocket, but he later pulls it out of his right coat pocket. He couldn't have changed it in his pocket, because he's surprised to find it.

My Drug Buddy - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: In the shot-reverse-shot between J.D. and Elliot at the end of this episode when they finally kiss, J.D.'s nose is on the left side of Elliot's face, and in the subsequent reverse shot it's on the opposite side. (00:20:00)

His Story - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Right after Kelso thanks Cox and walks away, one earpiece of Cox's stethoscope is hooked under his coat lapel. When the shot changes to show Cox turning around, both earpieces are free and hanging lower on Cox's chest.

My Own Private Practice Guy - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Laverne does a slam dunk, you can see that the ramp leading to the hospital main entrance has no-one standing on it or in front of it. But before and after the slam dunk you see see two doctors with a basketball on the ramp, and Franklin standing remarkably still, with a camera, in front of it.

My New Suit - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: As JD is unwrapping the patients head while talking to the Janitor, he completely unwraps the gauze and there is 3-4 inches of hair showing. The shot changes and suddenly the head has gauze on it again and only about an inch of hair is visible above the bandage.

My Way Home - S5-E7

Character mistake: Early in the episode, Keith pages JD from home to the hospital. When JD arrives, he asks Keith what's the big emergency and Keith asks if he wants the patient to be prescribed unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin. JD gets angry and says that they're the exact same thing. This is in fact completely incorrect. Low molecular weight heparin is made from fragments of unfractionated heparin. They have different effects in their metabolism, half life and dose monitoring (unfractionated needs a blood test, low molecular weight doesn't). The choice between unfractionated and LMWH is an important clinical decision and should not be dismissed as "the exact same thing".
