Continuity mistake: When Dr. Miranda Bailey tries to resuscitate/reanimate her patient Jeremiah, the assistant puts the anesthesia bag down next to Jeremiah's shoulder, in the next shot however, she has the bag back in her hands and lies it down once more.
Continuity mistake: When Meredith's talking to Lexie in the clinic, in one shot from Lexie's right there's a chunk of hair hanging in front of her ear. We cut to a shot from the other side, then back, and without her touching it, it's now neatly tucked back.
Continuity mistake: Just before Meredith answers the question about the "common causes of post-op fever", her file opens itself between shots. (00:36:00)
Continuity mistake: Cristina walks in during the party with two containers of cupcakes, places them on the side table and walks out. When Alex opens the lid and starts picking at the cupcake toppings, in the shots facing him the top container lid is wide open, but in shots facing Meredith the lid is closed and the cupcakes are untouched. (00:40:20)
Something to Talk About - S2-E7

The Self Destruct Button - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Meredith puts the Hello Kitty plaster on her forehead in her car, she puts it on upside-down. When she reaches the elevator it is now on the right way up (it is unlikely she would have removed it just to place it back on the right way up.) In addition when she is in the elevator, from shot to shot the position of her fringe (and how much of it covers the plaster) keeps changing. (00:01:50 - 00:02:55)
