Because of a lack of time and money necessary to build a set, the pilot episode of ER was filmed in the former Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles, an old facility that had ceased operating in 1990.
Zbog nedostatka vremena i novca potrebnih za izgradnju seta, pilot epizoda Hitne službe snimljena je u bivšoj bolnici Linda Vista u Los Angelesu koja je prestala s radom 1990. godine.
