Emergency!

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: When John and Roy get back to the station and the other guys tell them to check the dog to see if he's sick, in the shot facing the dog he's lying on the middle couch cushion, but in the shot facing the guys he's lying on the corner couch cushion.

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Character mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the fighting couple the first time timeout is 10:12, and the second call to that house timeout is 12:37. When Roy and John are there the first time, it's for no more than five minutes. Then when they're there the second time, Roy says "Please folks, we just went through this less than an hour ago," though it was over two hours when they left the fighting couple the first time.

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny get back to the station, after the cave-in rescue, the dog is lying on the couch on the middle cushion, between Mike and Marco, but in Henry's closeup Mike is gone, and the right side of the couch is empty, then Mike's back, but he vanishes and reappears again.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the hang gliding accident with two men trapped on a cliff, as the squad and engine roll out of the bay, we can see the real 127's vehicle is still parked in the apparatus bay, near the rear door.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When dispatched to singles club fire, Engine 51 pulls into the parking lot, and there's a shot of Mike hooking up the supply line to the hydrant, with Marco at the side of the engine, but it cuts back to Engine 51 in the lot again, with Mike behind the wheel and Marco sitting in the jump seat, and there is no supply line hooked up, then the engine drives further into the lot.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: At the singles club fire, after Roy and Johnny go in to look for the missing man, we see Mike charging the lines, then there's a shot of two of 16's guys walking past the stairway with a hose, and notice that on the stairway we can see Johnny's and Roy's legs heading down the stairs. This same shot is shown again after Roy and Johnny check the men's room upstairs, and once again we see Roy and John coming down the stairs when 16's guys walk past them.

The Exam - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: After Dixie has the talk with Molly about using 51 as a crutch, it cuts to the shots at the movie studio with stunt drivers being chased, and the passenger who has his head out the car window is bareheaded, but in the closeup he's suddenly wearing a knit cap on his head.

Rules of Order - S6-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is dispatched to an unknown type rescue, which turns out to be two people stuck on the side of a building, in the first shot of them the aerial camera tilts down and pans right to left, and as it does the reflection of the crane (supporting the camera) is visible on the building's glass siding, and the crane's outboard legs are also visible as the camera follows the squad into the lot.

Visible crew/equipment: After Early and Brackett do the tracheotomy, when Dix leaves treatment 4 and walks up the hallway, the outline of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of her uniform top, and when she sees Johnny in the hallway, the outline of his mic transmitter is visible on the front of his shirt over his belt.

Welcome to Santa Rosa County - S6-E10

Visible crew/equipment: After Sheriff Bittner breaks the door's window to get into the clinic, when they open the door just before they walk inside, the camera's tripod, the corner of the reflector screen, and a crew member wearing a blue/white cap are all visible through the doorway by the porch area.

Paper Work - S6-E11

Revealing mistake: At the start of the episode, when the camera zooms in on the words 'Los Angeles County Fire Station 51' which are attached to the side of the building, we can see that this shot is actually played in reverse - notice the cars/trucks behind the station are driving backwards. Additionally, note that the real 127's rig is seen in the driveway to the right. Also interesting to notice are the upper/lower metal bars which are attached to the bricks, where we can see the bars are much longer after 'Station 51', with a space for something missing, due to the fact that is was made to hold '127' on it.

Trainee - S2-E8

Roy: I think you're on some sort of an ego trip, Ed. And in my book that makes you a very dangerous character.
Ed: [Laughs.] Ego trip, huh? Well, I didn't realize that psychiatry was part of the paramedic's training.
Roy: Oh that's good, Ed, you be funny. But that isn't gonna change anything. You wanna know what I figure? Well, I figure when you were working in Vietnam, it was rough. So rough you started playing over your head. And you were making it, you were doing real good. Considering it was a combat situation. And pretty soon you started getting all blown up about how Ed Marlowe is just as good as the real doctors. And you've been living on that ever since. And the trouble is, Ed, you are good. Except for two little problems. You can't quit competing with real doctors. And you can't face being wrong. You see, those people we treat out there, I mean the people we work for, the people who pay for this whole operation, they're real people, Ed, with real problems. And they have a right to expect more than just being used by you for some sort of trip. [Completely exasperated.] I guess what I'm trying to say to you, Ed, is that in my book you're just plain unprofessional.
[Ed walks out.]
John: Do you think it did any good?
Roy: Do you?

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

Show generally

Question: In quite a few episodes of Emergency there is a character that the doctors and other nurses call Nurse Carol. She is the older nurse with dark hair. I would say she is on at least a fourth of all episodes in all seasons yet I can not see this actress getting credited or listed as uncredited anywhere. I wonder if she was an actual nurse. Does any one know who she was. Yes there also were a couple of other actresses who played a nurse named Carol on one or two episodes and they are listed in the episode guides. She also is the patient with her arm in the cast talking to Dr. Morton in the episode 6:18 Firehouse Quintet.

Answer: On IMDB, actress Anne Schedeen is listed as playing Nurse Carol on six episodes from 1974-76.
