My First Step - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: During the scene where the class is being warned about the dangers of being a "wait and see" type of doctor, JD imagines himself as being the only person in the auditorium. In the first shot of him alone, there is a bookbag (or something similar) sitting on a seat about three seats to JD's left. In the next shot of him, it is gone, and in the third and final shot of him alone, it is back again.

Guy

My Unicorn - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Murray is flying the plane towards JD, JD is stood on a dirt surface with a road and his scooter behind him. When JD starts running from the plane, he is in the middle of a grassy area, with no road or scooter behind him.

My Old Lady - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When JD is at the birthday party, watch the chocolate on his face. At one point there are two separate bits of chocolate on his left cheek, then the shot changes and they are gone. The shot changes again and they are back.

Guy

My Sacrificial Clam - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: A patient in a red dressing gown is walking around the background when JD is teasing Eliott. He is seen twice but wouldn't have been in the second shot with the direction he was walking and in the time taken for the shot.

Cybermoose

My Blind Date - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Elliot is looking at her patient, you see her reflection in the glass and her stethoscope goes down the SIDE of her ID badge clip, when it cuts to showing her through the glass it's now OVER the clip.

Cybermoose

My Kingdom - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: When J.D lends his nasal spray to Doug in the final scene Doug returns the spray to J.D after putting the cap back on. In the very next shot as J.D says "Don't bogart my nasal spray", J.D uses the spray without putting on the cap, and you can see the cap placed on Doug's tray.

My Old Man - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: When JD's Dad arrives at the apartment, and sits down to drink a beer, from straight on his jacket is open and his tie is draped to the right. When the shot cuts to a view from the side, his jacket is now open much less, and the tie hangs straight down his shirt.

My Best Friend's Wedding - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: As JD and Turk are walking away from the camera as they are playing the golf game in the hospital car park, Turk is wearing a white visor in the front shot, but not in the behind shot. It's not hidden behind JD's arm either.

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".
