ADD ALLUSIONS- Title: "ER Confidential" This episode's title is a reference to James Ellroy's 1990 crime fiction novel of the same title, which tells the story of three very different cops and how they uncover the corruption and scandal that intertwined Hollywood and the LAPD. In 1997 the novel was adapted into a film, directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, and Kim Basinger. Edit
- The use of a sunflower to "take someone's temperature" is similar to a scene from Carry On Nurse, a 1958 British comedy film in which a very demanding patient has a daffodil used on him in the same way. Edit
