Revealing mistake: Exactly ten minutes to the end, the couple with the baby Maxine are waiting to hear how she is doing. The mom and the husband are sitting on a bench outside the room in which their daughter is being treated. The mom lies down on her husband. She is supposed to have given birth only recently, so she still has a big tummy. As she lies against her husband, however, it is clear that she is wearing a prosthetic stomach: her blue T-shirt tucks and crinkles into and around it in a way that shows it is not an organic part of her.
Plot hole: When Wilson does an ultrasound to check for cancer in Alex' ovaries he fails to notice the fact that she doesn't have a uterus. If he mistook her bladder for her uterus, which sometimes happens, she would have appeared to be missing her bladder instead. Yet Wilson doesn't pick up on anything being missing.
Role Model - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: House puts down his Gameboy with the cover up and reaches for his vicodin. A couple of seconds of Foreman looking at House and the shot returns to House, as he is still getting his pills, but now the Gameboy's cover is down.
Other mistake: House has Metroid Hunters on the DS next to the gangster's ear and it shows Samus in a ball rolling around. The way she was rolling couldn't have been achieved because House was holding it, his fingers nowhere near the buttons on the game.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Dr. Chase and Dr. Cameron are out having a drink, Cameron picks up Dr. Foreman's cell phone. Before she does she takes a drink of her soda. This drink drops the level of drink to half full. When Foreman returns a few seconds later she suddenly has a glass that is 3/4 full. There was no time for anyone to give her a refill. (00:18:55)
Continuity mistake: The first baby dies on December 2nd. House's clinic patient is four months pregnant, and is given an expected due date in late March. Her due date would actually be in early May, if she's in her fourth month in early December.
Here Kitty - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: House spews cranberry juice all over the right side of Kutner's lab coat. In the next shot, the red stains have disappeared from the coat and are now on his shirt.
Factual error: The show is suppose to take place in New Jersey but when detective Triter pulls House over and shows his badge, it's an LAPD badge. (00:57:00 - 00:59:00)
Continuity mistake: When House writes "temporary psychosis" and circles it on the white dry erase board, both the words and circle change repeatedly in the following shots.
Continuity mistake: In Season 2, Episode 17 - "All In", the young patient goes into respiratory arrest. You see the doctors remove the pillow from underneath his head to put the breathing tube in, but in the next shot, the pillow is back.
Failure to Communicate - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When the scene starts with Stacy and House in the airport about to start talking, she has a pen in her mouth. In the very next shot it's on her ear, and in the next it's gone. It switches back and forth throughout the rest of the scene.
Factual error: During the differential, Chase suggests the underlying condition is a systemic infection. House says this is unlikely since the patient received IV antibiotics the previous week. However, the doctor in the intro scene remarks that he thought the patient had C. Diff, which is treated with oral vancomycin, not IV. Oral vancomycin has next to no oral absorption, and would not treat a systemic infection. Moreover, even if vancomycin was orally absorbed, it would only treat infections caused by gram positive organisms and not other infections caused by gram negative organisms. (00:12:30)
Factual error: When Andie is going in for her MRI, Chase starts the machine with Andie's steel IV pole in the room. No doctor would ever do that considering the damage that would be done to machine and patient. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the episode, House enters the conference room and stands up in front of the whiteboard talking to his team. When he first enters, the board is full of writing, then in the next shot there are only a bit of marks here and there.
Plot hole: In the scene with Mikey in the NICU, the alarms start to go off, stating that he is in distress. The nurse screams "He's in V-fib!" and everyone rushes around him. In the next shot they show the heart monitor just before Chase shocks Mikey's heart. The problem is that the heart rate is so fast with one wide complex that it would actually be Supraventricular Tachycardia with 1 Premature Ventricular Contraction (SVT with 1 PVC), which is far less serious than V-fib and wouldn't require the heart to be shocked.
Factual error: When going into anaphylactic shock, the patient is given epinephrine in her forearm. Epi would be given into her lateral thigh, or deltoid muscle. The forearm would be the least ideal place for an IM injection.
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, baby Maxine and her parents exit the elevator, probably on their way home. The lily bouquet, first held by the dad, jumps into the nurse's arm consecutive shots. (00:39:30)
Continuity mistake: When Mark loses feeling in his legs, the same blond nurse that is already in his room is seen in the next shot where House and Stacy are rushing off the elevator.
Revealing mistake: When the boy vomits on his girlfriend, the liquid comes from nowhere near his mouth. It comes from around his chest. (00:18:40)
Answer: She would have No Reason to know it belonged to the CIA. If she did know he went off in the helicopter, all she would know is that it wasn't an ambulance helicopter.
