Abby Road - S6-E12

Dr. Carter, I Presume - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Carter is doing a nasogastric intubation on a emergency patient and suddenly the patient violently pukes blood all over Carter's medical gown, his throat and the lower part of the face, then a quick shot of the stunned nurses, and when Carter is shown again he is perfectly clean.

Post Mortem - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When he's scuffling with the homeless man in the trauma room, Carter's stethoscope slips off his shoulders and drops to the floor. By the time Mark finds him standing outside, it's back around his neck, with no moment when he could have picked it up.

Sailing Away - S7-E19

Continuity mistake: When Carter and Abby drive up to the motel that Maggie is holed up in in Oklahoma, the rental car they are driving has no front license plate. When they pull up to Abby's apartment the next evening, in the same rental car, there is a front plate on the car and the plate is from Illinois.

Rescue Me - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dr. Benton is getting Reese ready for day care in the staff lounge and is talking to Dr. Finch, the shot shows Reese with his left hearing aid out of his ear, hanging down then when the angle changes it shows his hearing aid back in his ear without Dr. Benton putting it back in or touching it at all. (01:33:45)

Humpty Dumpty - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Carol is doing desk dury and says, "Hey, you're back" to Luca and her hand with a pen in it is up in the air. But when the shot changes, her hand is lying on her stomach. These alternate positions continue for a couple of shots.

Something New - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Oliver, the brain tumour patient, is talking to Anna, Henry, and Carter. He has his right arm up on the bed railing - but as he says "cook", his arm is suddenly down in his lap.

Power - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Lucy and Roxanne are in the restaurant, and as Roxanne says "so much for that theory", we can see Lucy is holding up her book/magazine in the corner of the screen, but in the next shot it is lying flat on the table.

An Intern's Guide to the Galaxy - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Ray asks if he can go home, we see Sam writing her number of discharged patients on the board in a close up. The camera then cuts back to the whole group and the size and style of Sam's writing changes. Most noticeable that the circle now stretches over the line between Ray and Abby's count whereas before it was in the middle of Abby's column. (00:42:50)

Ronnie Bischof

A Bloody Mess - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Doug is sitting at the cafeteria with Mark, Peter and baby Reese, his arm is stretched out on the table as Peter says, "fifteen minutes of quality time". The shot changes and suddenly there is no sign of his arm.

Visible crew/equipment: When Dr. DeRaad asks Kerry if she knows Paul Sobriki she tells him to check the board, and as Kerry walks past the door we can see the reflection of a crouched crew member walking backwards, pulling a rolling microphone stand. (00:02:45)
