CaƱon City - S12-E1

Continuity mistake: Sam and Luka are driving to Colorado, presumably in a hurry, to try to find her missing son, Alex. While their driving in the daytime, you can notice inconsistencies in the traffic and road. They are driving on the interstate, but getting passed up by semi trucks. The trucks are not slowly passing them either. It's almost as if they are stopped and the trucks are whirring past them. Then in one shot you see a car change to the left and start to pass, but when the camera angle changes, you see Sam passing up a semi truck at a high rate of speed. A moment later, as their still chatting, an exterior shot of the car shows them changing to the left lane to pass a truck, however the lines in the road are yellow, meaning they are not on the interstate anymore.

The Show Must Go On - S11-E22

Revealing mistake: Neela is delivering a baby. As the camera moves around a nurse to show a close up of Neela and the baby, you see her holding the "head" about a foot away from the mom and quickly moves it closer to look like it's coming out of the woman.

Beyond Repair - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Chuny tells Abby that Weaver is looking for her because she didn't call Child Services for a patient. Abby then goes to a phone to call. While she's on the call she hands Malik some sporting event tickets. The next scene shows Weaver out on a date when she bumps into Malik and Susan on their way to the sporting event. The very next scene is back in the ER where Abby is telling Carter that Lewis (Susan) just discharged a patient. The scenes don't line up, as they give the impression that Weaver, Malik and Lewis are all on shift at the hospital, when they're out on the town at the same time.

Homeless for the Holidays - S3-E10

Character mistake: When Doug leaves work, he tells Carol he is Going Home to watch the channel 11 Yule log. Later on, he shows up at her house with Charlie and Carol says, "I thought you were watching the channel 9 Yule log." It's possibly a slip of the tongue from Carol, but most likely it would be ingrained in their heads which local channel features a Yule log at Christmas.

Motherhood - S1-E25

Revealing mistake: When Susan and Chloe's mom comes to the hospital to visit, Chloe gives the baby to Susan to hold. If you look closely you can tell the baby isn't real but is actually a doll.

Hell and High Water - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: While Doug is giving CPR to the kid that was stuck it is pouring rain and everyone is soaking wet. When he runs with the kid and cop to the ambulance, it is no longer raining and they are all dry.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In season one (Thanksgiving episode) and in Season 2 (his graduation) Carter says he has a sister. After these seasons when his family is very involved in multiple plotlines there is no sister.

Fear of Flying - S3-E6

Character mistake: When Dr. Keaton rushes back into the OR to take over from Peter, she moves forward, pushing the door open with her hands. No surgeon would EVER enter an OR this way-it would contaminate her hands. The proper way is to back into the room, keeping one's hands in the air and free.

Another Perfect Day - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Susan and Chloe are fighting in front of the desk, you can see 2 marks on Susan's right shoulder that look like blood with no obvious source from previous scenes. While Chloe is having her hand treated, Susan is standing outside the door and turns, and the marks have disappeared. (00:35:05 - 00:35:50)

The Gift - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Benton's stethoscope moves between shots as he talks to Hicks about failing to get allowances to harvest a patients organs for donation. As he comes out of the room the stethoscope lies over his shoulders, in the next shot of Benton it's hanging round his neck.

Doug Ross: Dr. Weaver and the sound of her own voice. A love story.
