Trivia

The pilot's hospital interiors were shot at an abandoned hospital in Brownsville, Pa. There was so much grit and schmutz in the hospital that several extras began to cough and sneeze for real during shooting. Some contracted flu-like symptoms and were ill for a week or more after production wrapped.
