Superstition - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When Izzie is looking at the patient board, there are some lines on it which have been wiped out. But in the next scene we actually see Meredith walk to the board and wipe these exact same lines off (even though they were previously rubbed out...) (00:34:05)

Throwing It All Away - S10-E15

Factual error: In the opening scenes, Arizona mistakenly says a child suffering from imminent liver failure is at risk for psoriasis, when the script called for the word cirrhosis. Psoriasis is a skin disease. Cirrhosis is the medical term for end stage liver disease.

Dr. Meredith Grey: At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross.
