Trivia
Dr. Welby makes several personal revelations in this episode; (1) He was a ship's doctor in the Navy. (2) His daughter and her husband are living in Peru and waiting a few years before starting a family. (3) When his brother was serving in the Pacific, his sister-in-law lost their second child three days after birth due to the Rh factor in the blood. This tragedy is what motivates Dr. Welby to be so vigilant in diagnosing it.

Goofs
The opening credits read "Introducing Belinda Montgomery," but Montgomery has several earlier credits dating back to 1967, two years before this episode was broadcast in late 1969.
