• Factual errors: Multiple breaches in sterile procedure, including at the end when the doctors "clean up" over Hayden's surgical area.
  
  
• Factual errors: The endotracheal tube (breathing tube) was not secured to the patient. It is standard practice to secure this tube to the patient in order to keep it in place.
  
  
• Factual errors: The new surgeon states they used Adriamycin to 'spike' the new heart. Adriamycin is a chemotherapeutic agent that is red in color. The syringe that Sam hands to Jack is filled with a clear and colorless liquid.
  
  

• Factual errors: SPOILER: Lilith's heart would not be available for transplant in the scenario as it is shown. In real life, she would have been intubated and had multiple IV access and monitoring sites, and the hospital would have had to go through the process of having her declared brain dead before her organs could be removed.
  
  
• Factual errors: SPOILER: By overdosing on isosorbide or any other of her son's medications, Lillith would have caused her own blood pressure to drop, therefore jeopardizing the health of her heart. It's likely that she would have known the effects of the medication, and not chosen to use them for an overdose.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the operating room, the visible vein on Lillith's forehead indicates that blood is still flowing through it, even though she is supposed to be dead.
