Trivia
Sheldon does in fact sing an octave above Middle C. Either Jim Parsons has perfect pitch, or he had some kind of audio cue to match the pitch.

Goofs
Dr Stephanie states she can see that Sheldon's larynx is inflamed while actually looking (very awkwardly) at his pharynx. Both characters should know the anatomy of the throat.

Quotes
Leonard Hofstadter: What do I say to her?
Penny: I don't know. What do women say to you when they want to slow your relationship down?
Leonard Hofstadter: "I really like you, but I want to see how things go with Mark?"

Loved the opening, reminded me of something that happened to me

I loved the opening when Penny comes to get coffee. When I was in college, my family visited for family weekend and while they were there the girl from across the hall (who was very attractive) come over to ask if we got our paper and all she was wearing was a kinda of long tshirt. Now what's funny is that I didn't even remember what she was wearing until the story was related to me some years later and even then only vaguely recall the picture.

And how Stephanie performs her lets remove Sheldon's vocal cords was absolutely great too. Leonard and his pants was really get too. So overall this was one of my favorite eps.
