Visible crew/equipment: When Dixie and Carol stand in the ER hallway, talking about the three accident victims coming in and being swamped, there are two tape marks on the floor near their feet, where Carol and the other nurse were standing just before Dix walked over.

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny find the two puncture marks, from the snakebite, on the unconscious man's leg, the outlines of the lav mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back, left side of Johnny's shirt. It's also visible on the back of Roy's shirt after he is hit with the cobra venom, and on the back of Gil's shirt when he brings in the defibrillator.

Visible crew/equipment: After Johnny and Roy arrive at the amusement park where the boy was injured on the go-kart, when the guy who runs the go-kart track walks over to Roy and Johnny, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the back of his shirt, and moments later it's also visible on the left side of Johnny's shirt. Also, when the guys scare the second boy with the huge needle, as he runs away the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the back of the boy's vest.

Continuity mistake: When Gil's in the basket ride at the amusement park, while Captain Stanley swings the line that Johnny's hanging on, in the closeups the open cage door is facing Johnny, but in the long shot looking up the basket's open door is on the opposite side, and Johnny would not have been able to enter it as easily.

Continuity mistake: When Roy walks into the ER with the chemical burn patient they rescued from a kitchen filled with hydrogen sulfide, Dixie tells them treatment 1 which has a windowless door, but in the shot from inside the room the door has a window, and we can tell it's treatment 3 they're in.

Continuity mistake: After Brackett and Johnny try to convince Gil that he's not responsible for the MI patient's death, when Johnny walks out of the treatment room he says he's going to check on Roy, and as he opens the door we can tell that he's in the room across from the nurses' station. Then when he and Roy leave the treatment room where Early had examined Roy, we can see that it's the very same treatment room that Johnny had just been in with Brackett.

Continuity mistake: After Gil and Johnny have lowered the man from the amusement park ride, Gil, who's wearing the backpack, rappels down first and reaches the ground. Then when Johnny hooks in and rappels down, there's a shot of what is supposed to be Johnny rappelling down, but it's actually a shot of Gil, because it was Gil who was wearing the backpack.

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."

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.
