Trivia
Emil Sitka almost ruined his reputation as a "1-take wonder" when he chased the Stooges down the street. Director Edward Bernds told him to ad-lib angry dialogue, and on the first take, Emil delivered a barrage of obscenities. The scene was re-shot after cast and crew stopped laughing.

Goofs
Larry Fine can be seen cracking up several times when Shemp is working on the first patient.

Quotes
Shemp Howard: Are you comfortable?
Shemp's First Patient: [mumbles]
[Moe pulls the cotton out of his mouth]
Shemp's First Patient: No.
Moe: Who asked you?
