Continuity mistake: Carter is working on a patient who has swallowed a lot of taffy - he is sitting behind his head with both hands working on his mouth. But when Anspaugh walks in he suddenly has one elbow up in the air and the other hand wrapped around the patient's chin. There was no time for the change in position.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Carol and Mark are arguing with Doug about him examining the girl, the door behind her is closed. At the end of the scene, as Doug walks away, the door is open, even though no one went near it.
Continuity mistake: Carol is putting little bandages on Duncan's face and we see her put 2 on his forehead and 3 on his cheek. The shot changes and now there are 3 on his forehead and those on his cheek have shifted position slightly.
Continuity mistake: Mark is talking to Maggie about getting Louise on the transplant list - he has his arms clasped in front of him with his hands wrapped around his elbows. The shot changes and his right arm is outstretched with his hand on the wall - with no time for the change.
Continuity mistake: When Carol is talking to Angie in the hospital, there is quite a large bloodstain on Carol's sweater, just below her left shoulder. She leaves the room, meets Doug, and without explanation, the bloodstain has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When Peter goes to his sister's picnic, he puts a pink box on the table and then sits in front of it. When his attention is diverted by a woman, suddenly the box is in front of him.
Continuity mistake: When Jeanie is meeting with her doctor, the doc fills a mug with coffee and puts in on her desk. The mug does a 180-degree turn so that the handle is facing the opposite direction. Another shot - and it's back to the first position.
Continuity mistake: Mark is watching Susan get on the helicopter and he hooks his Flight Physician jacket over his finger so it is hanging over his shoulder completely down his back. However, the shot from behind shows the jacket partially draped over his left shoulder - then it goes back to being down his back.
Continuity mistake: Carter is watching the clock, waiting for Peter to show up for a presentation. The clock jumps from 3:03 to 3:04 in a Split Second (we literally see the minute hand jump)but the second hand doesn't change posiiton.
Continuity mistake: Carters throws his white towel on top of the lockers and it falls to the floor and the locker door closes - but the next shot shows the towel on top of the lockers again and the locker is half-open.
Night Shift - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: When Carter and Doyle are running down a corridor to the patient having a heart attack, the camera follows them along the floor and you can see several coloured lines going down the hall. After we see this, they burst through a double door, and if you look behind them you cannot see these lines anymore; they've simply vanished.
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.
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.
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.
Make a Wish - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: When Peter goes into Carla's room to talk to her, we see him let go of the door, but in the shot showing him entering the room, he is still holding the door.
