In at least two episodes, someone comments on all the new digital clocks that were installed in the hospital. The only times these clocks are seen are when they are mentioned. Otherwise, large analog clocks are seen just about everywhere, in every episode.
Throughout the series, Dr. Daniel Auschlander suffers from late-stage Liver Cancer and yet he is seen repeatedly as drinking "very good" Scotch after hours with his staff in his office. Alcohol consumption only aggravates Liver Cancer and hastens death.
