Doctor Strange (2016)

Corrected entry: When Doctor Strange is operating he asks his colleague to cover his watch. When asked he is not wearing a mask, but in the next shot he has a mask on while covering the watch.

Correction: There's actually a brief time jump between the two moments you describe. Drs Palmer and Strange discuss using an imaging tool that Strange says they have no time for; then we fast-forward a bit to where Strange is actually going in to retrieve the bullet - and everyone, not just Nick but Strange, Palmer, and the nurse, is now wearing a mask.

Doctor Strange (2016)

Corrected entry: At least twice in the film Strange refers to Pangborn's spinal cord injury as having occurred between C7 and C8 - meaning the 7th and 8th cervical vertebrae. But humans only have 7 cervical vertebrae. An injury in this location would actually be between C7 and T1 (the first thoracic vertebra). There is absolutely no way Strange - a brilliant surgeon with a photographic memory - could get this wrong.

Correction: While it's true there is no 8th cervical vertebra, there is a C8 spinal nerve (below the C7 vertebra). So it's not a mistake for them to refer to an injury between the C7 and C8 nerves.

Correction: As the original corrector already explained, there is such a thing as a "C7 or C8" spinal cord injury. The problem is that a C7 or C8 injury would affect the victim's middle finger, ring finger, and pinkie finger on both hands. A spinal injury that would affect the legs would be signified with either a L# or a S# since those spinal injuries deal with the legs.
