1 00:00:04,037 --> 00:00:06,972 I didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up with a scratchy throat. 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,807 I just don't feel so good. Uh, cough. 3 00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:17,544 Yeah, um-um, I have a bit of an upset stomach too, and I think I'm running a fever. 4 00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:22,611 I'm just worried I might be contagious. 5 00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:27,524 Inventory. Tomorrow. I'm-- Yeah, I'm sure I'll be feeling better by then. 6 00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:30,860 Thanks, Mr. Innabe. 7 00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:36,625 I cannot believe you just did that. 8 00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:39,536 I-I really do have a cough. 9 00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:41,938 Oh. So you weren't lying. 10 00:00:42,008 --> 00:00:46,672 You'd be curled up in bed with a bowl of chicken soup-- 11 00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:48,907 even if you didn't have a horny girl in your bed? 12 00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:52,975 Yes. Because I really do-- Hey. 13 00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:57,717 I really do have a cough. You also have a little rash. 14 00:00:57,791 --> 00:01:03,457 Um, I'm not sure we should be kissing. 15 00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:07,694 Oh. It's okay. Because I have almost no interest in kissing you. 16 00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:10,258 Perfect. Good. 17 00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:15,464 Uh-uh-uh. 18 00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:20,812 Oh, baby. 19 00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:55,848 Oh, Brandon. 20 00:01:55,915 --> 00:01:59,908 Brandon. 21 00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:04,450 I know I'm good, but come on. 22 00:02:06,926 --> 00:02:09,053 Brandon? 23 00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:14,024 Brandon. Brandon. Brandon. 24 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:17,263 Brandon! Brandon! 25 00:02:50,303 --> 00:02:55,297 Any additional R.N. to Surgical. Any additional R.N. to Surgical. 26 00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:12,216 Why do you want me to treat this guy? 27 00:03:12,292 --> 00:03:14,283 Blood pressure's not responding to I.V. fluids. 28 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,954 No, no. I didn't ask how you plan to con me into treating him. 29 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,692 I asked you why you want me to treat him. 30 00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:22,428 He's sick. I care. I'm pathetic. 31 00:03:22,502 --> 00:03:25,164 There are about a billion sick people on the planet. Why this one? 32 00:03:25,238 --> 00:03:29,231 Because this one's in our emergency room. Ah, so it's a proximity issue. 33 00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:32,301 If somebody was sick in the third-floor stairwell, that's who'd we be talking about. 34 00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:35,541 Yes. I checked the stairwell. It's clear. 35 00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:38,106 Okay, then. Emergency room guy it is. 36 00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:41,847 Wait. Why was that so easy? You know why. 37 00:03:43,122 --> 00:03:46,523 - Blood pressure's not responding to I.V. fluids? - Yeah. 38 00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:50,758 That's just weird. 39 00:03:52,498 --> 00:03:55,626 C.B.C. was unremarkable. Abdominal C.T. scan didn't show anything. 40 00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:58,364 So, people, differential diagnosis. What's wrong with her? 41 00:03:58,438 --> 00:04:00,372 - Him. - Him. Her. Does it matter? 42 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,604 Does anyone think it's a testicular problem? No. So, Chase? 43 00:04:04,677 --> 00:04:07,669 - Yersinia infection? - No. You wouldn't get the rash or cough. 44 00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:11,080 What about arthritis? Accompanying vasculitis causes nerve damage-- 45 00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:14,950 - No. It wouldn't cause the blood pressure problems. Allergy? - The kid's got abdominal pain. 46 00:04:15,021 --> 00:04:17,285 Maybe carcinoid? No. But then you wouldn't get the-- 47 00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:21,953 Foreman, if you're going to list all the things it's not, it might be quicker to do it alphabetically. 48 00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:27,159 Let's see, now. "Absidia". Excellent. Doesn't account for any of the symptoms. 49 00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:30,066 - No condition accounts for all these symptoms. - Oh, good. 50 00:04:30,136 --> 00:04:33,196 Because I thought maybe he was sick. But, apparently, he's not. 51 00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,833 Who wants to do up the discharge papers? 52 00:04:36,976 --> 00:04:40,810 Okay. Unless we control the blood pressure, 53 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,043 he's gonna start circling the drain before we can figure out what's wrong with him. 54 00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:48,645 Treat him for sepsis, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and I want a Cort-stim test and an echocardiogram. 55 00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:58,461 You all right? Yeah. 56 00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:02,695 The Cort-stim test will tell us if your pituitary and adrenal glands are working properly. 57 00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:05,932 - His glands? What does that mean? - We have a few theories we're working on. 58 00:05:06,005 --> 00:05:08,667 - You mean you don't know. - Mindy. 59 00:05:08,741 --> 00:05:11,505 I'm just saying, if they knew they wouldn't be testing you, they'd be treating you. 60 00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:16,537 Yeah, well, that's the way it works. First we find out what it is, then we get you better. 61 00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:28,351 You're half an hour late. Busy caseload. 62 00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,794 One case is not a load. 63 00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:34,697 So how are we doing on cotton swabs today? If there's an acute shortage, I could run home-- 64 00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:38,259 No, you couldn't. Nice. 65 00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:46,643 Hello, sick people and their loved ones. 66 00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:51,047 In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Dr. Gregory House. 67 00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:55,383 You can call me Greg. I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning. 68 00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:59,585 Short. Sweet. Grab a file. This ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. 69 00:05:59,659 --> 00:06:03,151 Dr. Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so, unfortunately, she's much too busy to deal with you. 70 00:06:03,229 --> 00:06:06,824 I am a board-certified diagnostician, 71 00:06:06,899 --> 00:06:09,493 with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. 72 00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:13,403 I'm also the only doctor currently employed at this clinic who is forced to be here against his will. 73 00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:15,964 That is true, isn't it? But not to worry. 74 00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:19,739 Because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. 75 00:06:19,812 --> 00:06:23,908 Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this. 76 00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:27,646 This is Vicodin. It's mine. You can't have any. 77 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,713 And, no, I do not have a pain management problem. I have a pain problem. 78 00:06:31,791 --> 00:06:36,091 But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. 79 00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:38,494 So, who wants me? 80 00:06:42,301 --> 00:06:44,769 And who would rather wait for one of the other two guys? 81 00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:51,000 Okay. Well, I'll be in Exam Room One if you change your mind. 82 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,146 Jodi Matthews? 83 00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:59,514 Please accompany Dr. House to Exam Room One. 84 00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,086 Dr. Chase. 85 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,652 I'm not sure scaring your boyfriend is the best medicine for him right now. 86 00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:15,064 I know. I get stupid when I'm scared. Don't go rock climbing. 87 00:07:15,134 --> 00:07:18,467 Look, I was wondering. Before this happened, we were having sex. 88 00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:24,866 What? You're wondering if whatever he has, you might've gotten it? 89 00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:27,936 It-It's unlikely. We ran a complete S.T.D. panel, so-- 90 00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:32,678 No. I'm wondering if maybe I did this to him. I was kind of rough. 91 00:07:39,525 --> 00:07:43,359 It was yellow. It was? 92 00:07:43,429 --> 00:07:46,557 It's not anymore. Well, that's a shame. 93 00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:51,296 I thought that might be a problem, so I brought you this. 94 00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:58,800 Your mucus was "pale goldenrod". 95 00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:02,575 Last week, yes. Should I be worried? Oh, yes. Very. 96 00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:06,084 Really? I thought it was okay now. 97 00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:08,643 And yet, here you are. What happened? 98 00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:11,281 Paramedics took a week to respond to your 911 call? 99 00:08:11,357 --> 00:08:14,258 You're not a very nice doctor, are you? 100 00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,057 And you are very bad at whatever it is you do. 101 00:08:17,129 --> 00:08:20,428 You don't even know me. I know you're gonna get fired. 102 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,596 That's why you got the new glasses. That's why your teeth are sparkly white. 103 00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:28,162 You're getting the most of your health insurance while you still can. 104 00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,666 I might be quitting. 105 00:08:31,744 --> 00:08:36,238 If you were quitting, you'd have known that last week when your snot was still pale goldenrod. You're getting fired. 106 00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,579 I just don't like being told what to do. 107 00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:47,218 I can get you in for a full body scan later this week. 108 00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:49,784 Thanks. 109 00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:55,298 It's got to be viral. We should start running gels and titers. 110 00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:59,464 Maybe we should look into the girlfriend's theory. She thinks she rode him to death. 111 00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:02,906 What'd you tell her? 112 00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:05,443 I told her 22-year-old men don't die of sex. 113 00:09:05,511 --> 00:09:07,604 - What'd you ask her? - What do you mean? 114 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,672 I mean, I hope you got some specifics on exactly what was going on. 115 00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:14,584 If the girl thinks it could kill you, it's worth knowing about. 116 00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:20,115 Have you ever taken a life? 117 00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:31,636 We should stop the antibiotics. 118 00:09:31,704 --> 00:09:33,638 It's too soon to say they're not having an effect. 119 00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:35,799 They're having an effect. 120 00:09:37,343 --> 00:09:40,972 His B.P.'s falling fast. There's fluid filling his lungs. 121 00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:43,311 His creatinine is rising. 122 00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,313 His kidneys are shutting down. 123 00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:57,023 Our treatment isn't making him better. It's killing him. 124 00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:05,431 So, we had six symptoms that didn't add up to anything. Now we got seven. Who's excited? 125 00:10:05,504 --> 00:10:09,167 I don't think it complicates things. The kidney failure was caused by the antibiotics. 126 00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:13,905 - Maybe. - Typically, low blood pressure and abdominal pain means an infection. 127 00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,881 An abdominal infection causes sepsis, low blood pressure. 128 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:19,884 Except we checked for abdominal infections. 129 00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:23,945 But what if it's the other way around? What if the low blood pressure's causing the abdominal pain? 130 00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:28,517 Viral heart infection. The intestines aren't getting enough blood, and the result is belly pain. 131 00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:32,553 - I know it's not the standard presentation. - It's a 10 million-to-1 shot. 132 00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:35,294 I thought that's what we dealt with here. 133 00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:41,034 It explains the cardiomyopathy, the pain, the low B.P., the fever. 134 00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:47,206 You read the book. Impressive. 135 00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:52,774 It's a ludicrously long shot that explains every one of those symptoms-- except for the cough and the rash. 136 00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:56,515 Should we just erase those? Well, anything can cause a rash. 137 00:10:58,257 --> 00:11:01,624 Okay. Cardiac infection. 138 00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,064 - Cameron, you thought allergy. - Mm-hmm. 139 00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:10,529 Chase, what was it you thought? Carcinoid? 140 00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:13,367 Then there's hypothyroidism. 141 00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:17,239 Could be parasites. 142 00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:22,080 Finally, sinus infection. 143 00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,777 If you're gonna list all the things it can't be, you're gonna need more colors. 144 00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:30,185 Cameron was right. No condition explains all these symptoms. 145 00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:36,488 - But orange and green covers everything. - Orange and green? 146 00:11:36,562 --> 00:11:39,588 Two conditions contracted simultaneously? 147 00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:42,930 Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is always the best. 148 00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:45,971 - And you think one is simpler than two? - Pretty sure it is, yeah. 149 00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:52,967 Baby shows up. Chase tells you that two people exchanged fluids to create this being. 150 00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:57,641 I tell you that one stork dropped the little tyke off in a diaper. Are you gonna go with the two or the one? 151 00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,345 - I think your argument is specious. - I think your tie is ugly. 152 00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:05,482 Why is one simpler than two? It's lower, lonelier. Is it simpler? 153 00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,652 Each one of these conditions is about a thousand-to-one shot. 154 00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:12,391 That means that any two of them happening at the same time is a million-to-one shot. 155 00:12:12,465 --> 00:12:15,298 Chase says the cardiac infection is a 10 million-to-1 shot, 156 00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:17,961 which makes my idea 10 times better than yours. 157 00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,835 Get a calculator. Run the numbers. 158 00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:22,430 We'll run the tests. Tests take time. 159 00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:26,342 Treatment's quicker. Start the kid on Unasyn for the sinus infection, 160 00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:31,042 and... what was orange? Hypothyroidism. 161 00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:35,281 My uncle has hypothyroidism. Not like this. 162 00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:38,983 Intravenous Levothyroxin is an artificial thyroid medication that should take care of it. 163 00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:42,550 Also, the nurses are going to start you on Unasyn. It's a more targeted antibiotic. 164 00:12:42,628 --> 00:12:44,289 For the sinus infection? Yes. 165 00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:48,026 - The other stuff is for something else entirely. - Bad luck, huh? 166 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,831 Don't worry. He should be back to ditching work in no time. 167 00:12:51,904 --> 00:12:54,304 Brandon? 168 00:12:57,143 --> 00:13:01,477 Hey, Mom. 169 00:13:01,547 --> 00:13:03,310 We're his parents. How's he doing? 170 00:13:03,382 --> 00:13:05,873 Um, Brandon is-- 171 00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:10,581 Uh, Mom. Dad-- This is Mindy. 172 00:13:11,757 --> 00:13:16,888 I was gonna bring her home for Christmas. Um, we're engaged. 173 00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:30,436 Dr. Hall to the recovery room. Dr. Hall-- 174 00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:32,170 Did you tell the family House's theory? 175 00:13:32,244 --> 00:13:36,237 Two odd conditions striking completely coincidentally at the exact same time? 176 00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:39,307 I didn't phrase it quite that way. They agree to treatment? 177 00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:42,718 Ofcourse they did. We're doctors. They believe whatever we tell them. 178 00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:45,450 So, is that our job? House's puppets? 179 00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:48,357 He comes up with an insane idea, we get to pretend it's not? 180 00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:51,590 His insane ideas are usually right. We've been here long enough to-- 181 00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,825 We've been here long enough to have Stockholm syndrome. 182 00:13:53,899 --> 00:13:58,563 What, because we don't hate him? He thinks outside the box. Is that so evil? 183 00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:01,299 He has no idea where the box is. 184 00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:06,037 If you guys think he's right, go home. Relax. Just wait for the kid to get all better. 185 00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:08,944 I'm going to the lab to test for viral infections. 186 00:14:19,658 --> 00:14:22,456 Negative for Coxsackie "B" virus. 187 00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:25,190 Seven down, about 5,000 to go. 188 00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:29,564 You really think we're gonna come up with your mystery virus just by running gels till we guess it right? 189 00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:35,132 No. I think we're gonna do it by standing around watching other people work. 190 00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,973 I'm waiting for the Epstein-Barr virus. 191 00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:44,778 - She's weird, isn't she? - Bad idea. 192 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:48,183 - What? - Bad idea. You work with her. 193 00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:50,188 What did I say? 194 00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:55,922 Is weird some new ghetto euphemism for sexy, like bad is good and phat is good? 195 00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:58,520 - Then what the hell does "good" mean? - "Ghetto euphemism"? 196 00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:01,828 You don't think she's hot? 197 00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,698 No. 198 00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:08,229 Wow. Then you're brilliant. And I am using "brilliant" as a euphemism. 199 00:15:08,307 --> 00:15:11,640 Obviously, the girl is hot. Y-You're not talking about her aesthetics. 200 00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:14,144 You're talking about if I want to jump her. I don't. 201 00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:16,272 Brilliant. 202 00:15:20,219 --> 00:15:23,120 Your Epstein-Barr is ready. 203 00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:31,093 What are you doing? Level four. 204 00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:34,724 No, no. I mean-- I know what you meant. We're waiting. 205 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,167 My throat hurts. So you said. 206 00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:42,731 How long are we waiting? Two minutes less than when you asked me two minutes ago. 207 00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:50,479 - Hi. - Hi. I'm Dr. Cuddy. Nice to meet you. 208 00:15:50,549 --> 00:15:55,213 Dr. Cuddy, thanks for the consult. His throat seems to have some condition. 209 00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:01,355 Say "Ah". Ah. 210 00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:04,488 He has a sore throat. 211 00:16:06,332 --> 00:16:09,495 Ofcourse. Yes, why didn't I-- 212 00:16:09,568 --> 00:16:13,504 I mean, because he said that it hurt, and I should have deduced that meant it was sore. 213 00:16:13,572 --> 00:16:16,063 I was in a board meeting. Patients come first, right? 214 00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:18,803 Wouldn't want to prescribe a lozenge if there's any doubt about its efficacy, huh? 215 00:16:18,877 --> 00:16:23,041 You once asked me why I think I'm always right, and I realized that you're right. 216 00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:26,243 At least, I think you're right. I don't really know, now do I? 217 00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:31,820 - Hey. I'm here. - Go home. Drink some hot tea. 218 00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,857 Excellent counsel. 219 00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:42,264 Negative on parvovirus B-19. 220 00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:45,497 I'm impressed. Thank you. I was born to run gels. 221 00:16:45,571 --> 00:16:48,699 I meant about Chase. What about Chase? 222 00:16:49,875 --> 00:16:52,435 Well, the man has no physical interest in you. 223 00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:58,006 He has a completely professional relationship with you, respects you as a colleague and a doctor. 224 00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:02,076 And yet, he can't look at you without thinking sex. 225 00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,088 Because I asked what kind of sex could kill you? 226 00:17:04,156 --> 00:17:07,785 You now have total control over your relationship with him. 227 00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:12,194 So, a woman can't express her interest in sex without it being some professional power play? 228 00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:16,098 No. If you look the way you do and you say what you said, 229 00:17:16,168 --> 00:17:19,069 you have to be aware of the effect that it's going to have on men. 230 00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:22,471 - Men should grow up. - Yeah, and dogs should stop licking themselves. 231 00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,133 It's not gonna happen. What's going on? 232 00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:28,136 - Yeah, what are you doing here? - Looking for you guys. 233 00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:30,306 - Why didn't you page us? - 'Cause I knew you'd be here. 234 00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:32,475 Who told him? No one. 235 00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:37,147 I assume you're trying to prove my crazy, two-illness theory wrong, so, obviously, you're gonna be in the lab. 236 00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,247 - You spin the urine? - Not yet. 237 00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:41,849 Talk to me when you have. 238 00:17:49,001 --> 00:17:53,495 What'd you find out? Kidney failure. It's acute interstitial nephritis. 239 00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:59,806 - I wonder if that's significant. - It means the antibiotics didn't cause the kidney failure. 240 00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:01,812 How'd you know? 241 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,338 If you guys hadn't been so busy trying to prove me wrong, you might've checked in on the poor kid. 242 00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,715 You visited a patient? 243 00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:11,847 I was sitting by his bed all morning, just so he'd know someone was there for him. 244 00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,721 I looked in on him. He's much better. 245 00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:16,727 Ergo, the treatment's working. Ergo, me right, you wrong. 246 00:18:16,795 --> 00:18:19,161 Hey, I'm glad for the kid. 247 00:18:22,801 --> 00:18:26,134 That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality. Thank you. 248 00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:30,539 It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain. 249 00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:33,601 I get that you're not a big believer in the "catching flies with honey" approach, 250 00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:37,171 but do you honestly think you'll collect a jarful by cleverly taunting them? 251 00:18:37,249 --> 00:18:40,082 Flies, no. Doctors, sure. If I'd said to Foreman, 252 00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:43,679 "Nice try. Great guess, but sorry, not this time", what do you think he'd be doing right now? 253 00:18:43,755 --> 00:18:48,089 I think he'd go home not feeling like a piece of crap. Exactly. 254 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,823 You want him to feel like a piece of crap? No. I don't want him going home. 255 00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:58,664 Dr. Foreman. 256 00:18:58,737 --> 00:19:02,070 Still have the cough. I'm feeling a lot better though. 257 00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:05,304 His fever is gone. His rash is going away. 258 00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:09,370 I see. Is everything okay? 259 00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:13,282 Just ordering some tests. Absolutely nothing to worry about. 260 00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:35,270 - How much longer? - 9:30. I figure she was on the eighth hole when I paged her. 261 00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:41,776 You probably got another half hour. 262 00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:52,590 I ran a T.S.H., T3 and T4. The patient's negative for hypothyroidism. I'm not talking about you. 263 00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:56,685 The fact that he's getting better would indicate the unreliability of the tests. 264 00:19:56,762 --> 00:19:59,754 If I'm right and it's a viral infection, one of two things always happen: 265 00:19:59,831 --> 00:20:03,323 the patient dies, or the patient's immune system fights off the invader. 266 00:20:03,402 --> 00:20:05,302 What's with her? 267 00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:09,363 Her leg hurts after running six miles. Who knows? Could be anything. 268 00:20:09,441 --> 00:20:12,501 He's getting better. That doesn't prove you're right. That just proves he's getting better. 269 00:20:13,912 --> 00:20:17,473 It-It's not two illnesses. It can't be two illnesses. 270 00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:20,416 I am so glad you work here. 271 00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:24,148 If I'm right, the antibiotics you prescribed... 272 00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:27,386 could box his kidneys and liver, impeding his ability to fight off the virus. 273 00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:32,624 - It could kill him. - Well, that certainly would be a concern. 274 00:20:32,698 --> 00:20:34,427 Fifty bucks? 275 00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:37,195 Don't look away. The space monkeys will be all over you. 276 00:20:37,269 --> 00:20:39,863 - You wanna bet on the patient's health? - You think that's bad luck? 277 00:20:39,938 --> 00:20:44,568 You think that God will smite him because of our insensitivity? 278 00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:47,043 Well, if God does, you make a quick 50. 279 00:20:49,781 --> 00:20:53,774 - Oh. - Go check his white blood count. 280 00:20:53,852 --> 00:20:57,015 If he's fighting off a virus like you think, it'll be way up. 281 00:21:02,861 --> 00:21:07,059 Hey. Cuddy said you needed a consult. What's up? I'm busy. 282 00:21:15,907 --> 00:21:18,000 Oh! 283 00:21:23,682 --> 00:21:26,674 - I was just being glib. - You haven't said anything. 284 00:21:26,752 --> 00:21:32,554 No. Before, when I was talking about Brandon's girlfriend thinking sex could kill you. 285 00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:34,922 I was just making a joke because I was uncomfortable. 286 00:21:34,993 --> 00:21:37,860 Oh, I don't even remember what you said. I'm uncomfortable about sex. 287 00:21:39,731 --> 00:21:44,361 - Well, we don't have to talk about this. - Sex could kill you. 288 00:21:44,436 --> 00:21:47,530 Do you know what the human body goes through when you have sex? 289 00:21:47,606 --> 00:21:50,097 Pupils dilate. Arteries constrict. 290 00:21:50,175 --> 00:21:53,201 Core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets. 291 00:21:53,278 --> 00:21:56,577 Respiration becomes rapid and shallow. 292 00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:59,981 The brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere. 293 00:22:00,052 --> 00:22:01,849 Secretions spit out of every gland, 294 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,084 and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. 295 00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:10,822 It's violent, it's ugly, and it's messy. 296 00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:16,732 And if God hadn't made it unbelievably fun, the human race would've died out eons ago. 297 00:22:19,805 --> 00:22:22,296 Men are lucky they can only have one orgasm. 298 00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:26,401 You know that women can have an hour-long orgasm? 299 00:22:26,478 --> 00:22:28,469 Hey, Foreman. What's up? 300 00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:30,777 - Hey, Foreman. - Hey. 301 00:22:31,783 --> 00:22:37,016 - White cell count isn't up, is it? - No. We were both wrong. 302 00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:40,252 White cell count is down-- way down-- and dropping. 303 00:22:40,325 --> 00:22:43,817 His immune system is shot. We need to get him into a clean room. 304 00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:52,827 Can you walk, Brandon? 305 00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:54,895 Yeah. A little. 306 00:22:54,973 --> 00:22:59,433 Okay. 'Cause we'll need to leave the chair outside. Thank you. 307 00:22:59,511 --> 00:23:02,139 Where's April? April? 308 00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:07,049 Can you take that chair, please? Thank you. Yes, Robert. 309 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,452 I'll need to take your, um-- your mask and your robe too. 310 00:23:17,329 --> 00:23:21,925 You might wanna block your ears for this, it's quite loud. 311 00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:34,672 Something's made him immuno-compromised. 312 00:23:34,746 --> 00:23:39,240 His white blood cell count is down, which means his body can't fight off infections. 313 00:23:39,317 --> 00:23:43,651 If he gets sick, he'll die. Sick? How sick? 314 00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:46,384 If he gets a cold, he'll die. 315 00:23:56,668 --> 00:24:02,504 Okay. I'm gonna push the needle into your hip bone and take some of the marrow. 316 00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,944 That's not so bad. 317 00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:11,449 Uh-uh. That was just the anesthetic. 318 00:24:11,516 --> 00:24:16,180 The core biopsy needle, it's a bit bigger. 319 00:24:16,254 --> 00:24:21,419 Hey, man. Take a deep breath. This-This is gonna hurt... a lot. 320 00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:30,298 Your marrow makes the blood cells. 321 00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,503 We take a peek at it under a microscope, 322 00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:38,566 and maybe we find a viral infection. 323 00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:40,668 Maybe we find some fibrosis. 324 00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:44,738 Something to explain why your blood count is so low. 325 00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:47,684 There we go. 326 00:24:49,187 --> 00:24:51,417 One step closer to an answer. 327 00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,482 If you don't find one, 328 00:24:56,361 --> 00:24:58,921 I can't stay here forever. 329 00:25:07,272 --> 00:25:10,298 - The patient could've died. - The one with the pulled muscle? 330 00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:15,210 Those symptoms are consistent with a dozen other conditions. 331 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,181 I'm entitled to a consult. - You are not getting out of clinic duty. 332 00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:22,880 Come on. You got a hundred other idiot doctors in this building who go... 333 00:25:22,954 --> 00:25:26,651 all warm and fuzzy every time they pull a toy car out of a nose-- you don't need me here. 334 00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:29,888 No, I don't. But working with people actually makes you a better doctor. 335 00:25:29,961 --> 00:25:33,055 When did I sign up for that course? When did I give you the impression that I care? 336 00:25:34,399 --> 00:25:38,062 Working in this clinic obviously instills a deep sense of compassion. 337 00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:42,630 I've got your home number, right? In case anything comes up at 3:00 in the morning. 338 00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,335 It's not gonna work. You know why? 339 00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:47,901 Because this is fun. 340 00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:51,881 You think of something to make me miserable. I think of something to make you miserable-- 341 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:56,614 It's a game, and I'm gonna win because I got a head start. You are already miserable. 342 00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:02,492 Uh-- Is this important? 343 00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,495 Uh, no. Good. 344 00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:08,432 What's with you and her? Don't. 345 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,661 You have a thing for her? The only people who can get to you-- 346 00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:12,896 No. There is not a thin line between love and hate. 347 00:26:12,971 --> 00:26:18,136 There is, in fact, a Great Wall of China, with armed sentries posted every 20 feet between love and hate. 348 00:26:18,209 --> 00:26:20,541 Thirty-six Vicodin. Who's the patient? 349 00:26:20,612 --> 00:26:22,443 I am. You can't-- 350 00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:25,005 Dr. Wilson is the prescribing physician. Yeah. 351 00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:29,247 You will lie, cheat and steal to get what you want, but you're incapable of kissing a little ass? 352 00:26:29,321 --> 00:26:31,255 We all have our limitations. 353 00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:35,555 House? Wrong bottle. Do me a favor. 354 00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:40,621 Take one of these, wait five minutes for it to kick in, then find Cuddy and kiss her ass. 355 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:45,292 What was the kid's first symptom? 356 00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:48,862 You did the history. Of his 800 symptoms, which one hit him first? 357 00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:50,874 Uh, the cough. 358 00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:19,563 Gout. 359 00:28:25,403 --> 00:28:28,031 Um, are we talking about Brandon? Gout? 360 00:28:28,106 --> 00:28:30,040 Uric acid crystals in the joints? 361 00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:35,978 The symptoms are pain, swelling, redness, stiffness. Not one of which do I see on that board. 362 00:28:36,047 --> 00:28:38,345 Because he doesn't have gout. 363 00:28:40,685 --> 00:28:43,017 Every day, cells die. 364 00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:49,482 We survive because the remaining cells divide and replace the losses. 365 00:28:50,995 --> 00:28:56,661 The colchicine, a gout medicine, blocks mitosis and stops cell division, 366 00:28:57,836 --> 00:29:01,237 which will result in abdominal pain, rash, 367 00:29:01,306 --> 00:29:05,970 nausea, fever, kidney failure, low blood pressure... 368 00:29:06,044 --> 00:29:08,069 and will also mess with the bone marrow. 369 00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:10,307 But he doesn't have gout. Why would he have gout medication? 370 00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:13,839 Because you guys were right. He didn't have two conditions at the exact same time. 371 00:29:13,918 --> 00:29:17,376 First, he got a cough. And because he's an idiot, he went to a doctor. 372 00:29:17,455 --> 00:29:21,414 In order to justify charging $200, that doctor felt he should actually do something. 373 00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:24,155 Oops. He wrote a prescription. 374 00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:28,063 Seven thousand people die each year from pharmacy screwups. 375 00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:30,067 Not nearly as many as die from doctor screwups, 376 00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:32,763 but still, not something they use in their promotional materials. 377 00:29:32,837 --> 00:29:36,329 The pharmacist gave him gout medicine instead of cough medicine. 378 00:29:36,407 --> 00:29:38,568 And the only thing it wouldn't do, 379 00:29:38,643 --> 00:29:42,636 it would do absolutely nothing to relieve his cough. 380 00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:44,739 Occam's Razor-- 381 00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:48,616 the simplest explanation is almost always that somebody screwed up. 382 00:29:48,686 --> 00:29:52,679 But once he checked into this hospital, he was completely in our control. 383 00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:54,918 Our food, our pills, our everything. 384 00:29:54,993 --> 00:29:57,655 So even if you're right, no more gout medication. 385 00:29:57,729 --> 00:30:00,721 He'd either continue to deteriorate, or he would've gotten better. 386 00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,632 But he got better, and then he got worse. 387 00:30:03,701 --> 00:30:06,169 It doesn't fit. It doesn't make sense. 388 00:30:06,237 --> 00:30:09,229 Okay. Two people screwed up. 389 00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:11,832 Not as simple as one, but-- 390 00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:24,014 He's resting. He's-- I'm Dr. House. 391 00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:28,081 I'm your son's physician. Oh. You're the one we haven't met yet. 392 00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:32,562 You're the one he hasn't met. How can you treat someone without meeting them? 393 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:35,793 It's easy if you don't give a crap about him. 394 00:30:35,867 --> 00:30:38,358 That's a good thing. 395 00:30:38,436 --> 00:30:42,839 If emotions made you act rationally, well, they wouldn't be called emotions, right? 396 00:30:42,907 --> 00:30:46,741 That's why we have this nice division of labor. You hold his hand, I get him better. 397 00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:49,473 If I start tucking him in at night, well, that's not fair to you guys. 398 00:30:49,547 --> 00:30:51,981 And if you start prescribing medicine, well, that's not fair to me. 399 00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:55,781 So, what I wanna know is, who stepped on my side of the net? 400 00:30:55,854 --> 00:31:00,723 Who cared enough to get stupid enough to give him his cough medicine? 401 00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:02,726 When we checked in, Dr. Foreman-- 402 00:31:02,794 --> 00:31:06,787 Tuesday, he's getting better. Wednesday, he's getting sick again. 403 00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:10,562 Somebody gave him his cough medicine Wednesday. 404 00:31:14,472 --> 00:31:17,464 Come on. Nobody's gonna be mad. 405 00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:21,034 I just wanna know who tried to kill the kid. 406 00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:29,509 - Dr. House, maybe we should-- - His throat was sore. 407 00:31:32,523 --> 00:31:35,856 Page Dr. Occam. He's gonna wanna hear about this. I'm sorry. 408 00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:40,091 He was coughing, and I just wanted to help him-- Aren't you a dear. 409 00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:44,032 Where are the pills? He took the last of'em before he was switched into that room. 410 00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:45,763 They're all gone? It was just cough medicine. 411 00:31:45,837 --> 00:31:48,465 No, it wasn't. Where's the bottle? 412 00:31:56,814 --> 00:31:59,510 We need to know exactly what you put in this bottle. 413 00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,518 We think it was colchicine, a gout medication. 414 00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:04,578 If the prescription said cough medicine, that's what I dispensed. 415 00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:06,817 The family is prepared to waive liability, all right? 416 00:32:06,891 --> 00:32:11,055 We just need to know what it was, what dosage it was-- It was cough medicine. 417 00:32:11,129 --> 00:32:13,620 Refill it. 418 00:32:15,566 --> 00:32:19,400 He's gonna be okay. You don't know that. 419 00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:24,798 Does Brandon like that quality in you? 420 00:32:24,876 --> 00:32:27,037 You're a little negative. 421 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,249 Things don't always work out for the best. Doesn't hurt to hope they do. 422 00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:38,153 No. Not unless that makes you figure you can do whatever you want, like give people cough medicine. 423 00:32:39,590 --> 00:32:44,050 This is cough medication. This is what Brandon was supposed to get. 424 00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:46,824 They're small, round and yellow. 425 00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:51,232 Can you tell this man what the pills in your son's medicine bottle actually looked like? 426 00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:56,165 They were small, round and yellow, exactly like this. 427 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,401 Those were the pills that Brandon was taking. 428 00:32:58,476 --> 00:33:03,573 Hey, I'm just a pharmacist, but I know what cough medicine looks like, Doctor. 429 00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:11,085 It was so perfect. It was beautiful. 430 00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:14,318 Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth. 431 00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:18,827 And triteness kicks us in the nads. 432 00:33:18,896 --> 00:33:22,059 So true. This doesn't bother you? 433 00:33:22,133 --> 00:33:25,466 That you were wrong? I try to work through the pain. 434 00:33:25,536 --> 00:33:30,530 I was not wrong. Everything I said was true. It fit. It was elegant. 435 00:33:30,608 --> 00:33:36,274 - So, reality was wrong? - Reality's almost always wrong. 436 00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:45,449 The cough medicine did something. 437 00:33:45,523 --> 00:33:48,219 Aggravated the condition. 438 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,351 It's all over the place. Must be in his blood. 439 00:33:51,429 --> 00:33:54,159 - What if it is his blood? - Lymphoma? 440 00:33:54,232 --> 00:33:56,564 Unless you've got something better. 441 00:33:56,634 --> 00:34:00,126 We foolishly ruled out lymphoma because his C.T. scan showed no adenopathy, 442 00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:04,903 C.B.C. showed a normal differen-smear, bone marrow showed no-- Screw the tests. 443 00:34:04,976 --> 00:34:07,877 Do an exploratory laparotomy and find out what's in there. 444 00:34:07,945 --> 00:34:12,644 He has no blood pressure, no immune system and no kidneys. Surgery will kill him. 445 00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:16,744 Yeah, you're right. Let's stick with the wrong pill theory. 446 00:34:20,758 --> 00:34:24,091 I'll schedule him for surgery. 447 00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:31,262 Okay, Brandon, we're running this tube through your heart.... 448 00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:34,429 and into the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. 449 00:34:34,505 --> 00:34:37,941 The sensors will give us information we need for the exploratory surgery later this afternoon. 450 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,313 - My fingers are numb. - Try not to move. 451 00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:50,650 We're in the right atrium, trying to catch the flow through the tricuspid valve. 452 00:34:50,721 --> 00:34:53,417 I think the catheter's curling in the atrium. 453 00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:57,951 Got it. We're in the R.V. now. 454 00:34:58,029 --> 00:35:00,657 Ectopy. 455 00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:04,132 - You must've irritated the heart wall. - It'll calm down. 456 00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:07,035 - He can't tolerate any cardiac arrhythmia. Pull back. - He needs the surgery. 457 00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:22,242 Pressure's dropped. 458 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,880 - You still with us, Brandon? - Get the curtains. 459 00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:27,550 V.F. 460 00:35:35,933 --> 00:35:40,233 Charging. Clear. 461 00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:46,737 Sinus rhythm. 462 00:35:48,279 --> 00:35:50,474 I got a pulse. 463 00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:55,715 Yeah, but no surgery today. 464 00:36:02,393 --> 00:36:05,920 - How're you doing? - Okay. 465 00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,329 Great. I'm doing good too. 466 00:36:08,399 --> 00:36:11,732 I get to knock off an hour early today. You know why? 467 00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:15,568 Because I kissed my boss's ass. Do you ever do that? 468 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,302 I think she just said yes 'cause she wants to reinforce that behavior. 469 00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:22,039 Wants me to kiss a lot of other people's ass, like she wants me to kiss yours. 470 00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:26,277 What would you want? A doctor who holds your hand while you die, 471 00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,784 or a doctor who ignores you while you get better? 472 00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:32,789 I guess it would particularly suck to have a doctor who ignores you while you die. 473 00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:36,787 - I should go. - You think it's gonna come out on its own? 474 00:36:41,799 --> 00:36:45,530 Are we talking bigger than a breadbasket? 475 00:36:45,603 --> 00:36:48,470 Because, actually, it will come out on its own. 476 00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:53,533 Which for small stuff is no problem. It's wrapped up in a nice, soft package, and plop. 477 00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:55,442 Big stuff, you're gonna rip something, 478 00:36:55,513 --> 00:36:58,209 which, speaking medically, is when the fun stops. How did you-- 479 00:36:58,282 --> 00:37:02,309 You've been here half an hour, you haven't sat down. That tells me its location. 480 00:37:02,386 --> 00:37:05,549 You haven't told me what it is. That tells me it's humiliating. 481 00:37:05,623 --> 00:37:09,491 You have a little birdie carved on your arm. That tells me you have a high tolerance for humiliation. 482 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,927 So I figure it's not hemorrhoids. 483 00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,566 I've been a doctor 20 years. You're not gonna surprise me. 484 00:37:20,504 --> 00:37:23,837 It's an MP3 player. 485 00:37:29,780 --> 00:37:31,941 Mm. 486 00:37:32,016 --> 00:37:37,852 Is it-- Is it because of the size, or the shape, 487 00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:40,652 or is it the pounding bass line? 488 00:37:40,725 --> 00:37:43,421 What are we gonna do? 489 00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:49,098 - I'm gonna wait. - For what? 490 00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,430 Okay. It's 3:00. I'm off. 491 00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:56,837 Would you tell Dr. Cuddy there's a patient in Exam Room Two needs her attention? 492 00:37:56,907 --> 00:38:00,070 And the R.I.A.A. wants her to check for illegal downloads. 493 00:38:01,345 --> 00:38:03,836 Brandon's not ready for surgery. Okay. 494 00:38:03,914 --> 00:38:08,078 Let's leave it a couple of weeks. He should be feeling better by then. Oh, wait. Which way does time go? 495 00:38:08,152 --> 00:38:11,485 He crashed during prep. He's also experiencing pain in his fingers. 496 00:38:11,555 --> 00:38:13,546 Think some bug may have gotten in the clean room. 497 00:38:13,624 --> 00:38:18,118 I think we should double his dosage of G-CSF to temporarily boost his white blood cell count. 498 00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:22,131 Pain in his fingers. Right. 499 00:38:30,241 --> 00:38:32,709 Hi again. He can't-- 500 00:38:32,777 --> 00:38:35,769 Where's he going? 501 00:38:36,881 --> 00:38:39,042 Hey. How you all doing? 502 00:38:39,116 --> 00:38:43,576 Interesting fact. Every seven years, it's a whole new you. Inspiring metaphor, huh? 503 00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:47,317 Dr. House, this is a clean room. Yeah. I read the sign. 504 00:38:47,391 --> 00:38:52,090 But cells of different organs reproduce at different rates. 505 00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:55,655 - So, you get a new kidney every three years. 506 00:38:55,733 --> 00:38:58,065 Get a new stomach lining every week. 507 00:38:58,135 --> 00:39:02,367 This is why colchicine poisoning causes all these symptoms, but not all at once. 508 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,931 But we went to the pharmacy. We saw the pills. 509 00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:08,001 Colchicine does its damage in a very specific order. 510 00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:12,345 First of all, there's the pain in the abdomen, the rash, the fever. Isn't that what you got first? 511 00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:16,876 Then the kidneys go, which is exactly what happened to-- 512 00:39:16,954 --> 00:39:18,854 - Brandon. - Right. 513 00:39:18,923 --> 00:39:23,951 Then it screws up your bone marrow, and then neuropathy. 514 00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:27,555 A painful tingling in the fingers and toes. 515 00:39:27,631 --> 00:39:30,191 And what do you suppose happens after that? 516 00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:38,039 Hair loss. The bad news is... 517 00:39:38,109 --> 00:39:41,545 your special boy is doing drugs. No, he's not. 518 00:39:41,612 --> 00:39:44,080 Ecstasy? No. 519 00:39:44,148 --> 00:39:49,142 - Twice with Dan and Mike. - You know what they cut that stuff with? 520 00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:53,714 Apparently, colchicine. Unless you ingested the colchicine through your contact lens solution, 521 00:39:53,791 --> 00:39:56,487 or skin cream or some other drug you're lying about. 522 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,429 I don't know how it happened. I don't care how it happened. It happened.
