Mascot - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Peter staggers into the ER because of insulin shock, Dixie walks down the hallway passing treatment rooms 2 and 4, with treatment 2 being beside the nurses' station, and it's the same set-up later when Peter's girlfriend speaks to Dixie in the hallway. However, in prior and subsequent shots of the hallway, it's treatment 4 that's beside the nurses' station.

Continuity mistake: While Johnny and Roy are standing near the nurses' station, Johnny admits that he promised to take care of Paula's dog, and when Johnny turns his head toward Dixie and Brackett we can see the base station behind him, and in the next shot when Dixie and Brackett walk over, a clipboard has suddenly appeared between the telephone and Biocom EKG unit.

Continuity mistake: After Paula's taken in the ambulance, when Roy heads to the wrecked car and pushes the driver's backrest forward revealing Bonnie in the back, we can see that the passenger side door is closed, but in the next shot the passenger side door is wide open.

Continuity mistake: When Johnny's on the Biophone establishing contact with Rampart, there's a closeup of the GE telephone at Rampart's base station, and behind it we can see the tape machine switch is turned to the right, in the 'on' position, but when it cuts to Dixie walking over and responding, the tape machine is not on yet.

Continuity mistake: On scene at Paula's car accident, her houndstooth blazer is lying over the backrest of the front passenger seat, but when Captain Hammer opens the passenger side door it vanishes, then it continues to reappear, disappear, and change position in following shots.

Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the heart attack, when Roy opens the apparatus bay door John and Bonnie run underneath, and we can see that Engine 51 is not parked in the bay, but in the exterior shot of the squad pulling out the engine is in the bay.

To Buy or Not to Buy - S5-E14

Other mistake: On scene at the traffic accident, when the woman and the boy with non-serious injuries are seated at the back of the ambulance, neither Roy or Johnny are going along with them to Rampart, yet Johnny puts the drug box inside the back of the ambulance with them, and the ambulance drives off. With their drug box! Captain Stanley even says that he'll advise dispatch that they're available for a run at the scene, while the guys will be looking for the dog.

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

Show generally

Question: In quite a few episodes of Emergency there is a character that the doctors and other nurses call Nurse Carol. She is the older nurse with dark hair. I would say she is on at least a fourth of all episodes in all seasons yet I can not see this actress getting credited or listed as uncredited anywhere. I wonder if she was an actual nurse. Does any one know who she was. Yes there also were a couple of other actresses who played a nurse named Carol on one or two episodes and they are listed in the episode guides. She also is the patient with her arm in the cast talking to Dr. Morton in the episode 6:18 Firehouse Quintet.

Answer: On IMDB, actress Anne Schedeen is listed as playing Nurse Carol on six episodes from 1974-76.
