Do You See What I See? - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: The paramedics bring Lenny by ambulance and are taking him out of the back of it - Carter picks up the chart from the gurney as the paramedic describes the patient - but suddenly the chart is back on the gurney - we should have seen Carter do this but we don't.

Something New - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Anna leaves the little boy Skyler's room, she has his chart under her right arm - but when she gets through the door and joins Doug in the hall, the chart has transferred to under her left arm, with no time for the change.

The Right Thing - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Susan is at home, making drinks for Mark and her - she pours them drinks from the blender and leaves a little bit of liquid in the blender. They head for the living room and the blender suddenly has about 3 inches of liquid in it.

It's Not Easy Being Greene - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Harper and Carter are in bed and his hand is bunched under the bedspread several inches from her hand. The next shot shows his hand is up by hers, touching her bottle of water, with no time for natural movement.

Be Still My Heart - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: When Mark gets up from the snowbank and chases Elizabeth into the ER, his red bag is over his right arm. When the shot changes to show him entering the hospital, his bag is over his left arm - he wouldn't have had time to change it.

Sticks and Stones - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Leonelli is being loaded into the ambulance, someone throws a large bottle of dark liquid that lands on the right side of the back window - however, when the shot changes, the liquid is running down the left side of the window.

A Bloody Mess - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Peter is feeding Reese in the hospital cafeteria. Reese has a bowl of pablum that is in the middle of his high chair tray. The next shot shows the bowl way over to the left, even though there was no time for the change in position.

Baby Shower - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Peter is scraping the ice off his windshield, but the scraped pattern we see from inside the car is different from the pattern outside. When the car won't start, he gets out, and more of the windshield has been scraped in the meantime.

Dead of Winter - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Peter examines the little boy again and tells Jeanie and Susan to draw pre-op labs, just as Peter exits the room behind Jeanie, the reflection of the moving boom pole/mic is visible on the door's glass. (00:18:50)

Be Still My Heart - S6-E13

Visible crew/equipment: When Carol and Luka follow Robbie to the trauma room with his mother's body they both stop at the doorway to watch Robbie, then just as the camera moves from behind Carol and Luka to in-between them zooming in on Robbie, the reflection of the moving boom pole and mic is visible on the glass behind Robbie.

Time of Death - S11-E6

Audio problem: When the team is moving Mr. Metcalf to a different room, Luca says, "Let's go people. Prime the rapid infuser." Abby says, "subclavian on the right." The shot shows the a close up of the patient's face (Mr. Metcalf). Immediately, that 4-second shot with audio repeats itself, before moving on to the next. (00:12:40)

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished - S9-E13

Character mistake: Dr. Corday finishes assessing a gun shot victim, then goes to the next trauma room to assess another. The steady cam follows her. She makes sure not to contaminate her gloves on the door, opening it with her elbows, but then goes straight to touching the next victim. Of course, in real life, she'd change gloves first. The shot never changes, so there's no chance of her changing gloves off camera. (00:12:30)

The Longer You Stay - S8-E2

Continuity mistake: Inside the first 10 minutes, Greene finishes a trauma and his shift and heads upstairs to take Ella from Corday, so she can start her shift. Next, we go back down to the ER, where Benton and Finch are assessing a trauma victim. In the background you see Greene checking an X-ray film, but he has meant to already leave with his baby.

Power - S5-E20

Revealing mistake: As Dr. Benton is leaving the nursery, there are two people who are supposed to be walking down the hall. But, it is very obvious that they are waiting on their mark, waiting for the go ahead before they start walking. (00:38:40)

Revealing mistake: Ray Barnett is shopping down the cereal aisle and a package of brats is thrown into his hand when you can see there is nothing on the shelves other than cereal. (00:39:01)

Life After Death - S15-E1

Other mistake: When Neela puts back on her scrubs after sleeping with Simon, she has no scar on the front of her body. Yet she was opened up in the OR after she was trampled at the rally.
