Continuity mistake: After the cropduster crashes, when Roy and Johnny pull the pilot out of the overturned aircraft and begin working on him, Johnny's medical holster with penlight, forceps and scissor is clipped at his right hip and the other holster's at his left hip, but when Johnny shouts to Chet about giving the victim oxygen, Johnny's holsters have switched sides.
Continuity mistake: When Roy tells Johnny to call Barbara, who heard something that he didn't even say at the movies, in the view from the kitchen Engine 51 is not in the apparatus bay which means everyone else is on a run, but when dispatch drops tones we hear Captain Stanley respond KMG365, and then see the engine parked in the bay.
Continuity mistake: When the guys are eating dinner talking about marriage, John's glass of milk is half full in the shot from behind him, but when Barbara calls the station and Captain Stanley answers the telephone, John's glass is nearly full in the shot facing him.
Continuity mistake: While Roy and Johnny are working on the guy who fell from the horse, since Roy's hands are busy he has the IV line dangling from his mouth before setting up the patient's IV, and in wide shots the cannula is dangling at the left side of his mouth, but in closeups the IV line and cannula have switched sides.
Continuity mistake: After bringing in the atropine overdoses from the daffodil bulbs, in the shot from inside the treatment room when Roy and John leave treatment 3, which is opposite the nurses' station, they turn left to head towards receiving, but next shot they're walking from around the corner in the hallway, then pass that door they just left from.
Continuity mistake: After Roy tells Johnny to call Barbara, while they're standing by the telephone in the kitchen, Squad 51 is dispatched to 'man unconscious at Observation Park', and when the squad rolls out of the apparatus bay, the engine we see parked in the bay is the Crown from the first two seasons, not the current Ward LaFrance.
Continuity mistake: When the parathion victim is brought into the ER, they go into treatment 2, but in the view from inside the treatment room when John opens the door to leave, we can see that he's actually on the opposite side of the hall facing treatment 2, which means he's in treatment 1.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, when Roy and John are going through inventory in the trauma and drug boxes, there are three rolls on the trauma box lid and John takes two of them leaving only one, but it cuts to another angle and now there are two on the lid.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
