Emergency!

Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: When they bring the Hermit into the ER, Brackett tells them to take him to treatment 4 and he's wheeled there, but in the shot from inside the treatment room we see that he's actually inside treatment 1.

Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: While climbing the tower to rescue the "man" at the top, after Johnny slips and slams into the cross beam, when he and Chet are heading back down the tower, the two lights attached to the tower keep switching from the right side to the left side, depending if it's a closeup of them or a wide shot of their doubles. Additionally, in the closeups the lights are large and round, but in the wide shots one of them is a small square.

Continuity mistake: After the woman has staggered into the ER she is seated in the wheelchair, and when she jumps out of the wheelchair there is a tall ashtray can behind her beside the wall, but in the next shot that tall ashtray can has vanished.

Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to the fire/explosion at the chemical company, when John heads inside to rescue the chemist, the SCBA cylinder he's wearing has one white sticker and one pinkish sticker. By the time John brings the victim out to the sidewalk, his air tank has changed back and forth repeatedly to one that has two red stickers.

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.

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 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."

Question: Why is the driveway in front of the station always wet? Day or night, whenever they pull in or out it looks like it was just hosed down.

Answer: It is standard practice to wet down driveways so that they stand out in a long shot.
