Rules of Order - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: During the rescue of the two mountain climbers who are stuck on the side of a building, when Johnny and Roy are hanging from the lines which are attached to the lifebelts buckled around their waists, we can also see that attached to their lifebelts are carabiners, which are tucked inside their shirts. Those carabiners are presumably attached to extra support under their clothing. Johnny's is particularly visible, while Roy tries to cover his carabiners with his hand.

Continuity mistake: While Roy, John, Brice, and Bob are standing at the nurses' station, there's a closeup of Brice's arm as he explains that he's checking his drug box, and the watch he's wearing in the closeup has a gold/silver metal link watchband, but Brice is wearing a different style watch, with leather straps and buckle.

Continuity mistake: After Brice completely ticks off John regarding the advisory committee while standing at the nurses' station, when John and Roy walk up the hallway to the receiving entrance Roy's not wearing his watch as he's carrying the drug box, but at receiving he's wearing his watch.

Rules of Order - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to "accident with injuries," en route one of the camera angles is from the POV behind Roy and John, where the back of the squad is located. The problem is that there's bright sunlight on their backs as they’re driving, when it shouldn't be there. Artistic license is acceptable, but having so much sunlight where it should not be reveals that Squad 51 is not in its normal state.

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are at the nurses' station talking to Brice and Belliveau about the paramedic advisory committee, both Roy's and Johnny's shirts are all smudged up from the last rescue they just brought in, but when Johnny and Roy head back to the squad their shirts are spotless.

Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is dispatched to an unknown type rescue, which turns out to be two people stuck on the side of a building, in the first shot of them the aerial camera tilts down and pans right to left, and as it does the reflection of the crane (supporting the camera) is visible on the building's glass siding, and the crane's outboard legs are also visible as the camera follows the squad into the lot.

Visible crew/equipment: After Early and Brackett do the tracheotomy, when Dix leaves treatment 4 and walks up the hallway, the outline of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of her uniform top, and when she sees Johnny in the hallway, the outline of his mic transmitter is visible on the front of his shirt over his belt.

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.
