Trivia At one point in the episode, Dr. Cox says " I swear to Aisha..." and if you look closely you can tell that this is dubbed over. Originally he was to say, "I swear to Allah," but as the episode aired a month after 9/11, despite being filmed before the attacks, it was dubbed to avoid any cultural concerns at a time of heightened sensitivities.

Goofs When Elliot and Dr. Cox are talking in the break room for the second time, and Dr. Cox is talking about whiny interns coming to him for cookies and hugs, he mouths, "I swear to Allah" but the audio says, "I swear to Aisha." As this episode was probably filmed before the September 11th Attacks, the line was no doubt over-dubbed out of sensitivity to the political tensions of the time. See more »
