Doctor Strange

Factual error: In the first scene where Dr Strange is preparing for surgery he uses improper surgical gowning technique breaking aseptic protocols. Strange puts on a mask after washing his hands, contaminating his clean hands by bringing them in proximity to the non-sterile environment of his face. Surgical masks must be worn before the full washing of hands. Another error is that he inserted his hands all the way through his gown to don gloves. Hands must never leave the sleeves and gloves must be put on with the sleeves still covering.

Factual error: When Dr Strange first exits the London Sanctum there is a blue USPS letter drop box on the corner. London Postal boxes are a different design and red.

Factual error: When Tilda Swinton dies and is lying on the operating table, her pupils are not dilated as they would be immediately after death.

Continuity mistake: Strange is at home, looking for help on a video chat. His friend says no, and in his rage he sweeps almost everything off the table including the Microsoft Surface laptop. Christine enters with food, we cut back, and the area of the table to his left, which was totally clear a second ago, now has several pieces of paper on it and the laptop with a closed lid. A few moments and cuts later, the laptop is in perfect condition on the table with lid open.

Question: When Strange is surgically removing the bullet from the patient's brain, why did he ask the one doctor to cover his wristwatch?

Answer: I took it to mean Dr. Strange could hear the watch ticking, and he wanted complete silence.

Answer: Perhaps to also protect the watch from getting blood-stained.

KeyZOid

That's quite a blood spray you would need to reach him.

lionhead

Chosen answer: The watch was reflecting light into his eyes.

lionhead

That makes sense, as the light would distract him while performing a delicate procedure.
