When Dr. Carson went to deliver the results of the separation surgery to the parents he didn't have sweat on his uniform but in the following scene when he escorted the parents to see their twins he was drenched in sweat.

During Dr. Carson's first brain surgery he asks for the bovie and the asks for the bipolar but never hands the bovie back.

During the separation surgery, an anesthetic ventilator can be heard running at about 28 breaths per minute. Trouble is, it carries on after the babies are put on bypass, and even when circulatory arrest has been induced, which is wrong. Then, Dr Carson asks his anesthetic team how things are are going, and he is told they are pretty stable - odd question during circulatory arrest. Later on, he is told the pressure is dropping - they have forgotten about the circulatory arrest again. Then there is the fake drama about Carson finishing his part of the surgery four seconds before the hour is up: truth is, nobody knows how long you can keep any baby in cold circulatory arrest before they get brain damage so you keep the arrest time to the minimum but there is nothing magical about one hour. Finally, they defibrillate a heart that is not fibrillating, and then they do it again - clearly the same heart both times.

In the operating room scene during surgery for the conjoined twins, close-up views of the hands of some of the OR personnel who are manipulating IV solutions reveal they are NOT wearing surgical gloves for sterility.

A scene in Dr. Carson's Baltimore home showed liquor bottles, he is a Seventh Day Adventist and they do not drink alcohol.

In the scene when Ben first was on rounds as an intern at John Hopkins in 1976 it shows a patient connected to a patient monitor that was not available until 1989.

The shot of the cityscape appearing at the beginning, after Ben Carson accepts to perform surgery on the twins, is presented as ULM (Germany) but actually shows Hamburg.

In the supposed German hospital, US style NEMA power outlets are installed instead of German CEE outlets.

When Mrs. Carson goes to the psychiatric hospital and is talking to the doctor, she says she is so dumb she can't even read but then when she first goes to the hospital and opens her luggage, she finds a note from her son and reads it and smiles.

In the scene where Doctor Carson is looking at the babies, the black baby has an ear piercing in the left ear.
