Daisy's Pick Blind Date - S4-E7

Visible crew/equipment: After rescuing the injured man from the burning theater, when Roy and John are on the roof getting the stokes with the victim onto 36's snorkel, we can see a crew member's arm/hand, wearing a white patterned long sleeve shirt, standing at the right side of the screen.

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are with the hypothermic refrigeration engineer, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back, left side of Johnny's shirt. Note that when Johnny and Roy are in the ambulance with the patient, Johnny is not wearing the lavalier transmitter and wire anymore.

Other mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to "man needs assistance", in the exterior shot as the squad rolls out of the apparatus bay we can see Engine 51 still inside the bay, but the real Station 127's engine is parked right beside the station house.

Other mistake: When dispatched to the fire in the theater, the companies called are Station 51, Engine 85, and Station 36, but at the scene of the fire we see Engine 9 roll up and also see firemen with 19 on their helmets. These are shots from previous episodes including 3x7, "Promotion", when Roy and John rescue the security guard at the structure fire.

Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy are in the ice house, there's a closeup of Johnny's arms as he's hosing down the ice and removing it from the hypothermic victim's arm, but it's obvious that the dark hairy arms belong to the stunt double, not to Johnny.

Continuity mistake: When John shows Chet the card with the address that Daisy gave him, Chet quickly takes John's pen to write the address, and when John grabs his pen back he quickly and unsuccessfully tries to put the pen back in his shirt pocket, but in the next shot the pen's in his pocket.

Continuity mistake: When John and Roy are with the little boy in respiratory arrest, while John uses the Ambu bag his watch reads 12:15, then he informs Rampart that they have O2 on the boy and goes back to the Ambu bag, and now his watch reads 12:25, though it's only been a minute.

Continuity mistake: While Roy, Johnny, and Cap are in the ice house with the hypothermic victim, there's a closeup of the pipe's frozen shut-off valve in the upright position with an ammonia leak, and the manifold temp/pressure gauges that are hanging from it. Then, when Johnny goes to wrap the rag around the valve it's upside-down, but in the next shot the valve is upright once again, and the manifold gauges are now facing the opposite way.

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.
