* Being that war is hell, lots of people were harmed during the production of this motion picture (but since television is a dramatic medium of make believe, all casualties removed their prosthetic make-up and went home unscathed).
- On the USA Thanksgiving Day XENA/HERK marathon (Thursday, 11-26-98), Lucy Lawless did pre-recorded bits between the shows. For the DOCTOR break, she said, "Let's find out what the next ep is [handed envelope by person off camera]. Thank you [looks at off camera person a look up and down]. Va va va voom! Ok. Is There a Doctor in the House. The network was a little put off by the amount of blood that appeared in this episode. There was this great scene where Xena gets to cauterize a leg using a shield over a hot flame, and we had to cut it out, but you know, you could see the steam going. This was one of my absolute favorites from the first series, and I'm still very proud of it. Here we go." Also during a DOCTOR break (approximately 11:30am), Ms. Lawless said, "The chakram was actually a real weapon and it was launched off the finger [Lucy demonstrates by twirling her index finger up in the air] because, of course, it was terribly sharp. Well, we experimented with the terribly sharp ones and it didn't go down very well, so we modified it and came up with the old frisbee throw chakram."
- Danielle Cormack at the Burbank II Con (01-17-98) when asked what was her most embarrassing moment on XWP was, she said, giving birth to a centaur baby!!!
< p align=center>-From Sharon Delaney's talk at Valley Forge (10-04-97): DOCTOR was held back because of the censors. The scenes that were cut were cut due to the graphic 'ER' aspects of the episode. An example was a scene in which Xena cauterized the man's leg after it was cut off.
-In Is There a Doctor in the House, when Gabrielle died she went to the Elysian Fields, even after she was inducted as an Amazon. But in Adventures in the Sin Trade I, she went to the Amazon Land of the Dead. In Hooves and Harlots, Gabrielle asked what the Amazon's were doing for Terreis, who had been killed. Xena replied that they were sending her to Artemis, their Greek Goddess. So, I guess after they see Artemis, she sends them to the Land of the Dead without going thru Hades. Perhaps Xena should have asked Artemis instead of Hades.
-At the end of the episode when Gabrielle has recovered somewhat, she sits up to look at Ephiny's spanking new centaur son. When she sits up, her hair spills along her back. Then there is a shot that shows the baby centaur in the distance testing his legs and shows part of Gabrielle's body - her hair is now lying down her chest. When they show a full body shot of Gabrielle again that hair is once again spilling down her back.
-Spot the thin gold chain around Xena's wrist that slips from under her gauntlet during the revival scene with Gabrielle!
