My Old Friend's New Friend - S4-E1

Corrected entry: There is a scene where Carla and Turk have just arrived by cab to the hospital. Turk and J.D. see each other and Carla tells Turk "go ahead" and he runs off leaving Carla standing in front of their luggage. A few seconds later J.D. and Turk run past each other in the hospital in front of Carla, who is now magically wearing scrubs and holding a chart.

Correction: This is to imply that they have been chasing each other around the hospital for a while, missing each other, not quite able to find each other in the same place at the same time. In this span of time they are running around like fools, Carla has already changed for work and is now on shift.

My Old Friend's New Friend - S4-E1

Corrected entry: When JD jumps onto Turk and they yell at each other, you can hear JD say 'Giggle' or something, in a high voice. But his mouth does not move when this is said, plus he is already screaming in delight, so he couldn't have said it.

Correction: He says "eagle", he is not screaming at the time he says it and you can see him say it.

My Last Chance - S4-E8

Corrected entry: As JD gets on his scooter to go see Molly, he makes an action as if the bike has a kick start, but when the bike falls over after he runs into the wall, there is no kick start. That model bike has an electric start, although JD might like to make it look like his has one.

Correction: You correct your own mistake, he just mimics kick starting the scooter.

Correction: This scene takes place in J.D.'s imagination. Anything is posible.

My Boss's Free Haircut - S4-E20

Corrected entry: Cellular phones are not allowed at hospitals because they can disturb sensitive equipment. While Kelso might not recognise his patient's "toy" as a cell phone, Laverne obviously does, and she doesn't react on it being forbidden.

Correction: Many people use mobile 'cell' phones in hospitals, even the staff, and so a lot of them don't react, besides the fact that this is a character's choice.

My Cake - S4-E6

Corrected entry: When JD finds his brother in the tub he remarks that Dan has been in the bathroom for about nine hours. Dan complains that the water is cold. However there's still foam on the water, which would have disappeared long before the water got cold.

Correction: First of all, from looking at it you can't be sure it's actually foam, it looks more like the water has just gone a milky white (which bathwater does if you have bubblebath and leave it a long time). But assuming it is foam, it's not unreasonable to guess that if he's been in there for 9 hours then Dan might have gotten bored and added more bubblebath (then made foam by mixing up the water himself).

My Way Home - S5-E7

Character mistake: Early in the episode, Keith pages JD from home to the hospital. When JD arrives, he asks Keith what's the big emergency and Keith asks if he wants the patient to be prescribed unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin. JD gets angry and says that they're the exact same thing. This is in fact completely incorrect. Low molecular weight heparin is made from fragments of unfractionated heparin. They have different effects in their metabolism, half life and dose monitoring (unfractionated needs a blood test, low molecular weight doesn't). The choice between unfractionated and LMWH is an important clinical decision and should not be dismissed as "the exact same thing".
