Botulism - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When DeSoto and Gage arrive at Rampart their black helmets are not hanging in Squad 51, when they enter the hospital. A moment later, when they're dispatched, both helmets are hanging in their proper place behind the seat. The distance between the squad and ambulance has also increased.

Botulism - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: During the rescue at the construction accident, when the man with the back injury is hanging from his line and is lowered after Roy untangles the block, we can see that in addition to the rope wrapped around the man there's wire and support that go under the man's jumpsuit. The wire/support are gone once he's lying on the balcony and they remove the rope.

Continuity mistake: Just as Gage and DeSoto walk into Rampart's staff lounge, while discussing practical jokes, DeSoto is holding the handy-talkie in his right hand, but in the next shot the handy-talkie has vanished.

Botulism - S1-E3

Other mistake: After Roy has found the location of the boy trapped in the collapsed building, Captain Hammer gets on the handy-talkie and says "Engine 51, Stoker," but oddly enough the subtitles read, "Agent 51, Stoker." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Botulism - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: On site at the construction accident with the back injury victim, when Roy climbs over the tower's railing we can see the yellow canvas strap attached through the leather loop of his lifebelt, but when he descends to the injured victim, the yellow canvas strap is now also attached to a carabiner protruding from under his turnout coat, by his pants, which presumably is attached to additional hidden support.

Botulism - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After Squad 51 is dispatched to "possible heart case" when Roy and Johnny walk into the house, we can see in the hallway and there's a bureau against the wall, but when they leave that bureau is gone and now there's a painting on the wall which we should have seen in the earlier shot, but it wasn't there.

Botulism - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the start, when Roy finds Johnny in the squad reading '1000 Practical Jokes', Johnny's window is rolled down, and Roy places his arms over the passenger side door then leans in to talk to Johnny, but in all of Johnny's closeups Roy's arms are gone.

Trainee - S2-E8

Roy: I think you're on some sort of an ego trip, Ed. And in my book that makes you a very dangerous character.
Ed: [Laughs.] Ego trip, huh? Well, I didn't realize that psychiatry was part of the paramedic's training.
Roy: Oh that's good, Ed, you be funny. But that isn't gonna change anything. You wanna know what I figure? Well, I figure when you were working in Vietnam, it was rough. So rough you started playing over your head. And you were making it, you were doing real good. Considering it was a combat situation. And pretty soon you started getting all blown up about how Ed Marlowe is just as good as the real doctors. And you've been living on that ever since. And the trouble is, Ed, you are good. Except for two little problems. You can't quit competing with real doctors. And you can't face being wrong. You see, those people we treat out there, I mean the people we work for, the people who pay for this whole operation, they're real people, Ed, with real problems. And they have a right to expect more than just being used by you for some sort of trip. [Completely exasperated.] I guess what I'm trying to say to you, Ed, is that in my book you're just plain unprofessional.
[Ed walks out.]
John: Do you think it did any good?
Roy: Do you?

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

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.
