Malpractice (1996)

Goofs

Malpractice

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Edit

Factual errors

Cloud Dancing and Sully keep using AHO as a hello greeting. Aho is a Lakota Sioux word, not Cheyenne, that means 'it is good', often said after statements or prayers.
Lawsuit plaintiffs cannot serve their own restraining orders. Must be done by sheriff or court appointed process server.
Someone needs to tell Dorothy that documents signed in pencil are not legal. They should have signed her petition in ink.

Revealing mistakes

Tears were visible in Dr Mike's eyes before the baby died.
When Dr. Mike has baby Michael on the exam table in the middle of the night, the baby is supposedly sobbing, but is actually lying on the table very calmly.

Plot holes

When the second baby falls ill, the mother tells Dr. Mike that Mr. Bray has just started carrying the baby bottles. However, in Washita, part 2, we see Grace buying a couple of the bottles from Mr. Bray to feed the Indian baby. The Indian baby never gets sick because Myra nursed him.
When Dr. Quinn asks Emma to take in her dresses, Emma does not measure Dr. Quinn's post pregnancy body. Emma would not know how much to adjust the dresses.
Dr Quinn would only have had all of her expensive maternity dresses to be altered if she was planning never to have anymore children.

Character error

Sully gets fresh milk from the Norris' cow and they test it to make sure it was pure. Even if the milk coming directly from the cow is pure, it doesn't mean the milk the Norris' gave the baby hadn't spoiled in the time between when the cow was milked and when they gave it to the baby. Both Dr. Mike and Andrew should have known this.
