At the beginning of the episode when House is playing his guitar, as he finishes playing it the second time to talk to Cuddy, his hand pulls away from the guitar before the final string is played.
House's guitar amp has 2 input jacks. When House comes back to his office to play the guitar the cable is plugged into one input jack. On the next scene the cable is plugged into the other jack. A few seconds later, the phone rings, and the cable is plugged the original input jack again.
When Dr. Cuddly is with the patient as she awakes, she cautions the patient to not try to talk because she has a tube down her throat. Actually, the patient has had a tracheotomy with a breathing tube attached there, well below what a doctor would call the throat.
House receives a ransom note made with paper clippings. Obviously it was Dr. Wilson. However in a scene a little later, Wilson is reading the paper with all the cutouts and none of them would match up with the note. A ransom note isn't made with the fine newspaper stories but headlines or add in the paper.
Wilson has exaggerated cutting out large sections of the front page of the newspaper, as part of the prank, so House can immediately notice when he turns around. This isn't any kind of continuity goof.

At the beginning House refers to playing an arpeggio. He pronounces it ar peg e o. It's pronounced ar pej e o. As a musician he should know that. This would imply that he pronounced it mistakenly and unknowingly when doing the script. But Hugh Laurie IS a trained musician, and is an accomplished pianist. He plays the piano in many of his roles. Therefore he must have done the pronunciation as an acting choice.
When House and Wilson are at the patient's home, House finds a book halfway off of the bookshelf. He walks over and picks it up, and the camera cuts over to a closeup. The image is flipped horizontally, likely a continuity error caused by a re-shoot.

Wilson says that House hired a team 3 years ago. However, only Foreman was hired at that time (3 days before the series started) while Cameron was already working for House for 6 months and Chase for even longer than that. Moreover, it was mentioned at some point in the early seasons that there were other members to House's team before the original three.
At the end of the episode, House is facing the forty applicants. He tells them to look to their left, and then he looks to his own left. He was instructing the applicants to observe the other doctors in the room, but he did it in the wrong order. He should have either told them to look right, or turned his head the other way.
