Yeah, it sounds thick.
Too bad he's not coming.

Look, I talked to him myself.
He'll be here.

that the song could use a horn part,

- You think I'm stupid?

Of course I do,

you a fan of his music?

That paralysis thing,
guy can't walk for two years,

nobody knows why,
it seems mildly interesting.

Tell that to the rest
of his bowling team.
44
00:03:17,219 --> 00:03:18,887
As far as this
hospital is concerned,
45
00:03:19,012 --> 00:03:21,264
this is a simple case
of lobar pneumonia. Boring.
46
00:03:21,389 --> 00:03:24,893
But that not-walking thing.
That could turn into something serious.

Marty Hamilton is his primary physician
out in California.
48
00:03:28,355 --> 00:03:29,523
He's dealing
with the paralysis.
49
00:03:29,648 --> 00:03:32,442
Know all about it.
Multiple treatments, multiple surgeries.
50
00:03:32,567 --> 00:03:33,902
He's making real progress.
51
00:03:34,027 --> 00:03:35,195
Fixed everything
but the legs.
52
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,531
Dr. Hamilton already called
and asked for your team.
53
00:03:37,781 --> 00:03:41,243
And by team,
I don't mean you.
54
00:03:41,368 --> 00:03:43,870
Like I always say,
there's no "I" in team.
55
00:03:43,995 --> 00:03:45,914
There is a "me" though,
if you jumble it up.
56

Foreman did his
residency with Hamilton.
57
00:03:49,209 --> 00:03:52,796
I know. I accidentally glanced
at his resume before I hired him.
58
00:03:52,921 --> 00:03:54,381
He wants someone
he can trust.
59
00:03:54,506 --> 00:03:56,341
He must've spoken to
Foreman's parole officer.
60
00:03:56,466 --> 00:03:59,052
Someone who will stick
to the pneumonia.
61

John Henry's on an experimental
protocol for the paralysis.
62
00:04:02,389 --> 00:04:04,516
I respect that.
I'm not going to get in his way.
63
00:04:04,641 --> 00:04:08,562
- It's Foreman's case.
- It's pneumonia. He can handle it.
64
00:04:08,687 --> 00:04:11,398
The guy's already paralyzed.
How badly can he screw it up?
65
00:04:28,123 --> 00:04:30,125
So, what are his sats?
66
00:04:30,250 --> 00:04:32,043
Staying in the 90s
on the nasal cannula.
67
00:04:32,168 --> 00:04:33,044
Coughing up
much sputum?
68

CAMERON: Almost none.

00:04:35,088 --> 00:04:36,631

is anything back from micro?
70
00:04:36,756 --> 00:04:39,217
Not yet. You gonna fire me?

Oh, this is fun.
73
00:04:42,721 --> 00:04:44,931
FOREMAN: Okay. Let's keep him
on the broad-spectrum antibiotics.
74
00:04:45,056 --> 00:04:47,225
And since he's displaying
septic physiology,
75
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:50,353
draw blood for adrenal
and thyroid function.
76
00:04:52,314 --> 00:04:53,940
What about the paralysis?
77
00:04:54,065 --> 00:04:55,191
We're sticking
to the pneumonia.
78
00:04:55,317 --> 00:04:58,987
Well, you certainly are, boss,
like a wet tongue sticks to dry ice.
79
00:04:59,112 --> 00:05:02,407
The paralysis has already been
diagnosed by Dr. Hamilton. It's ALS.
80
00:05:02,532 --> 00:05:05,410
Lou Gehrig's disease.
It's a lovely diagnosis.
81
00:05:05,535 --> 00:05:06,786
They make movies about it.
82
00:05:06,912 --> 00:05:09,915
No tests, no treatment,
it's a disease of exclusion.
83
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Because Hamilton has
excluded everything else.
84
00:05:12,125 --> 00:05:13,293
I haven't.
85
00:05:17,881 --> 00:05:18,798
What else could it be?
86
00:05:19,716 --> 00:05:21,635
Guillain-Barre,
which would be reversible.
87
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,761
Excellent.
88
00:05:22,886 --> 00:05:27,140
No. The progression of the paralysis
would be symmetric. This wasn't.
89
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:28,224
Transverse myelitis.
90
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:29,517
Hamilton tested for it.
Negative.
91
00:05:29,643 --> 00:05:31,353
And he was negative
for masses and AVM.
92
00:05:31,478 --> 00:05:33,021
Antibodies could be
attacking the nerves.
93
00:05:33,146 --> 00:05:34,397
Multifocal motor
neuropathy.
94
00:05:34,522 --> 00:05:37,567
Uncommon, but it fits.
It's also treatable.
95
00:05:37,692 --> 00:05:39,653
Did Hamilton try
putting the guy on Mg?
96
00:05:39,778 --> 00:05:41,154
No, because
the MRI showed no...
97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,323
Well, let's do
an MRI of our own.
98
00:05:46,785 --> 00:05:48,912
Guys, it's my case.
99
00:05:50,664 --> 00:05:53,041
ALS fits. It even
predicts the pneumonia.
100
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,711
- The paralysis is progressive.
- It's a death sentence.
101
00:05:57,545 --> 00:05:59,381
That doesn't make it wrong.

is connected to my ALS?

It makes sense.
106

So it's just
gonna get worse, huh?
107
00:06:26,825 --> 00:06:28,868
- Well, Dr. Hamilton...
- Great guy.
108
00:06:28,994 --> 00:06:32,622
Really smart doctor, and his treatment
obviously isn't working.
109
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,042
Do you think
I'm going to die here,
110
00:06:36,167 --> 00:06:38,628
or you think I get to
go back home first?
111
00:06:38,753 --> 00:06:40,380

us a better idea...

An MRI, come on.
For pneumonia?

00:06:42,882 --> 00:06:44,217
Well, Dr. House thinks
we should test for...
114
00:06:44,342 --> 00:06:47,053
House?
Yeah, I heard about him.

No.

00:08:18,019 --> 00:08:20,271
Well, no wonder he signed.
Who wouldn't?

00:08:20,396 --> 00:08:22,982
I started him
on IV steroids and Synthroid.

Great. If it was my case,
I'd be adding a little Mg to the mix.

and I'm sticking to it.

He doesn't want anything done,
no treatment.

not "do not treat".

What's Mr. Giles's status?

Okay. Increase the steroids
to 100 milligrams every 12 hours

and start him on Mg.

I think you have
a conflict in medications.

you take for the diabetes

And your shoes look
about two sizes too small,

intubate him stat.

- Someone likes music.
- Oh, yeah.

His sats are in the 70s.
How long's he been like this?

00:11:15,154 --> 00:11:16,406
- Ten minutes.
- Well, why aren't you...
190
00:11:16,531 --> 00:11:18,324

in respiratory failure.

It's too late.
We killed him.

- What did you just do?
- He saved his life.

CHASE: He's stable on the ventilator,

The Mg made him worse,
204
00:12:30,772 --> 00:12:34,192
which means multifocal motor
neuropathy was a bad diagnosis.

is much more interesting.

00:12:40,198 --> 00:12:42,325
You tubed him,
and he didn't want to be tubed.
210
00:12:42,450 --> 00:12:44,452
He has a legal paper
saying just that.
211
00:12:44,577 --> 00:12:47,747
To intubate or not to intubate,
that is the big ethical question.
212
00:12:47,872 --> 00:12:49,248
Actually, I was hoping
we could avoid it,
213
00:12:49,374 --> 00:12:50,458
maybe just
practice some medicine.
214
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:53,378
There is no question.
It's the patient's decision.
215
00:12:53,503 --> 00:12:55,421
If the patient is
competent to make it.
216
00:12:55,546 --> 00:12:57,924
If his thyroid numbers
aren't making him sad.

were a little...

I didn't talk him into...
222
00:13:06,307 --> 00:13:08,184
No. He signed
the DNR 'cause he didn't

want a slow,
painful death from ALS.
224

had nothing to do with his ALS.

Right, exactly! It's the Mg.
You screwed up!
226

You're not going to let him die
because you screwed up.

Technically, your case,
you screwed up.

- Fine, I'll never do it again.
- Yes, you will.

hit both lungs.

There are case
reports of Wegener's
243
00:14:04,115 --> 00:14:05,283
hitting both
the lungs and the spine.
244
00:14:05,408 --> 00:14:08,703
Well, it's not great, but it's better
than ALS. At least it's treatable.
245
00:14:08,828 --> 00:14:09,996
It's a restraining order.

to file criminal charges for battery.

- Cameron, test the blood for c-ANCA.
- These are criminal charges.
249

They're not going to let you
take blood to make more tests.

in the lab.

grab a biopsy.

We'll need it to
confirm Wegener's.
256

And move the patient
to the second-floor ICU.
257

- Why?
- It's right above the clinic.

I'm pretty sure it's
50 feet in any direction.

You don't have
a problem with what I did?

When I hired you,
I knew you were insane.

I will continue to try and stop you
from doing insane things,
273

but once they're done,
trying to convince an insane person
274

not to do insane things is,
in itself, insane,
275
00:15:45,383 --> 00:15:49,637
so when I hired you, I also set aside
$50,000 a year for legal expenses.

help me run some tests?

I'm sorry, Your Honor,
I was way out of line.
293
00:17:01,334 --> 00:17:05,296
So, your client forced
the patient into this position,
294
00:17:05,671 --> 00:17:10,635
and now he wants a court order
to force the patient to stay that way.
295
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,430
Without the tube, there's a high
likelihood that Mr. Giles will die.
296
00:17:14,555 --> 00:17:17,850
Well, I assume the patient knows that.
He had a DNR.
297
00:17:17,975 --> 00:17:21,020
That's why your client is facing
criminal charges, right?
298
00:17:21,145 --> 00:17:23,814
Exactly.
And Mr. Giles's death
299
00:17:23,939 --> 00:17:26,776
will violate my client's
Sixth Amendment right.

Even if you win,

so what have you gained?

Your fingers.
340
00:19:01,287 --> 00:19:05,040
They show signs of clubbing,
which indicates a heart problem.
341
00:19:05,166 --> 00:19:07,001
Remember Bart Giamatti?
342
00:19:07,126 --> 00:19:09,003
Same thing,
just dropped dead one day.
343
00:19:09,128 --> 00:19:10,796
Please see your doctor.
344
00:19:10,921 --> 00:19:12,965
He's admitted
this isn't relevant.
345
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:15,676
Can we get back
to the motion?
346
00:19:15,801 --> 00:19:17,636
Of course. I'm sorry.
347
00:19:17,762 --> 00:19:19,555
LAWYER 2: Your Honor,
348
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,309
a person's right to control the
treatment of their own body
349
00:19:23,434 --> 00:19:26,187
is fundamental to
understanding this case.
350
00:19:26,312 --> 00:19:30,149
A long line of cases,
both federal and state, stand to...
351
00:19:30,816 --> 00:19:33,986
Congratulations.
Impressive legal argument.
352
00:19:34,111 --> 00:19:35,362
I watched Matlock
last night.
353
00:19:35,488 --> 00:19:36,697
Say no more.
354
00:19:36,822 --> 00:19:38,657
I didn't notice any clubbing
on the judge's fingers.
355
00:19:38,783 --> 00:19:40,201
Neither did I.
356
00:19:40,326 --> 00:19:42,203
So the family
history thing...
357
00:19:42,328 --> 00:19:44,914
Every family has some history
of heart disease.
358
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:46,707
And mental illness.
359
00:19:50,169 --> 00:19:52,379
Biopsy only shows inflammation.
360
00:19:53,172 --> 00:19:54,757
Start him on Cytoxan.
361
00:19:54,882 --> 00:19:57,092
You're diagnosing Wegener's
based on a little inflammation?
362
00:19:57,468 --> 00:20:00,221
Well, unfortunately, I think we've
exhausted all the tests we can do
363
00:20:00,346 --> 00:20:03,224
in our capacity as the doctors
that he doesn't want doing tests on him.
364
00:20:03,349 --> 00:20:04,183
But you don't...
365
00:20:04,308 --> 00:20:05,226
We'll know I'm right
if he starts walking.
366
00:20:05,351 --> 00:20:07,728
We can't do any more tests,
but you want me to treat him?
367
00:20:07,853 --> 00:20:09,271
Medicine's in the pharmacy.
368
00:20:09,396 --> 00:20:11,148
Patient's immobilized
in the ICU.
369
00:20:11,273 --> 00:20:13,901
Sounds like
a simple geography problem.
370
00:20:14,985 --> 00:20:16,153
Are you asking us
to jeopardize
371
00:20:16,278 --> 00:20:18,197
our medical licenses
for this treatment?
372
00:20:44,306 --> 00:20:46,016
Can I help you?
373
00:20:47,226 --> 00:20:48,644
I'm Dr. House.
374
00:20:48,769 --> 00:20:51,230
Greg, right? I'm Marty Hamilton,
John Henry's doctor.
375
00:20:54,275 --> 00:20:55,901
We should talk.
376
00:20:59,572 --> 00:21:01,991
Appreciate any list of medications,
anything like that.
377
00:21:02,116 --> 00:21:04,118
I've started him on Cytoxan.
378
00:21:05,202 --> 00:21:07,121
For Wegener's, right?
379
00:21:07,246 --> 00:21:08,455
Look, Greg.
380
00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:11,417
I checked you out, you know?
381
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:13,127
I know you're a good doctor,
382
00:21:13,252 --> 00:21:15,379
and you have to appreciate
that I'm a good doctor, too.
383
00:21:15,504 --> 00:21:16,630
Why?
384
00:21:16,755 --> 00:21:18,924
Wegener's is one of the first
things I looked for.
385
00:21:19,049 --> 00:21:21,385
The biopsy and the blood test
were negative, just like yours.
386
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:23,929
There's an error rate, Marty.
387
00:21:24,054 --> 00:21:26,307
And there's
a time to let go.
388
00:21:26,765 --> 00:21:28,309
Look, I'm gonna take him
off the ventilator,
389
00:21:28,434 --> 00:21:30,144
and John Henry's
going to die.
390
00:21:30,269 --> 00:21:31,520
He's accepted that.
391
00:21:31,645 --> 00:21:32,771
FOREMAN: Dr. Hamilton.
392
00:21:33,731 --> 00:21:34,982
- Hey-
- Hey-
393
00:21:35,107 --> 00:21:37,151
' He)!' hOW you doing?
- How you doing?
394
00:21:37,276 --> 00:21:38,777
Listen, Dr. Hamilton,
I'm sorry.
395
00:21:38,903 --> 00:21:40,112
I should have never
put your patient on Mg.
396
00:21:40,237 --> 00:21:41,488
HAMILTON:
It's not your fault, Eric.
397
00:21:41,614 --> 00:21:44,283
No, it's mine, Eric.
398
00:21:44,408 --> 00:21:45,910
That's not what I said.
399
00:21:46,035 --> 00:21:47,369
Everybody asks
about you out in LA.
400
00:21:47,494 --> 00:21:48,996
FOREMAN: How's
the old place doing?
401
00:21:49,121 --> 00:21:52,833
Oh, this is wonderful, but before
you guys break out the oil,
402
00:21:52,958 --> 00:21:54,251
I should point
out that you can't
403
00:21:54,376 --> 00:21:56,211
pull the plug.
I have a court order.
404
00:21:57,463 --> 00:21:58,797
You used to, but...
405
00:21:58,923 --> 00:22:01,508
I have the right to face my accuser.
Judge said so.
406
00:22:01,634 --> 00:22:03,344
Not if no one's
accusing you.
407
00:22:03,469 --> 00:22:05,346
All the charges
have been dropped.
408
00:22:12,645 --> 00:22:14,563
He doesn't have to die.
409
00:22:17,858 --> 00:22:19,276
It's not Wegener's.
410
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:38,003
If it's Wegener's,
his lungs won't be able to handle it.
411
00:22:38,128 --> 00:22:40,631
Soon as they pull
that plug, he'll die.
412
00:22:40,756 --> 00:22:43,634
That's why they call it
"pulling the plug".
413
00:23:04,363 --> 00:23:06,323
I'm gonna miss you.
414
00:23:29,722 --> 00:23:31,765
(GASPING)
415

(EXHALES)
416
00:23:43,944 --> 00:23:46,989
- He's still breathing.
- His O2 sats are holding.
417
00:23:52,327 --> 00:23:55,289
- He's holding his own.
- He's still breathing.
418
00:23:56,582 --> 00:23:58,000
It's not Wegener's.
419
00:24:06,008 --> 00:24:07,301
Wrong again.
420
00:24:12,765 --> 00:24:15,559
WILSON: He's stable,
but one of his arms is now paralyzed.
421
00:24:15,684 --> 00:24:18,771
The real question is,
why is he still alive?
422
00:24:18,896 --> 00:24:21,065
Do you think he's
just being stubborn?
423
00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:23,901
He's alive because you were wrong.
It's not Wegener's.
424
00:24:24,026 --> 00:24:26,028
Yeah. Seem to be
doing that a lot lately.
425
00:24:26,153 --> 00:24:28,113
People keep living
because of my mistakes.
426
00:24:28,238 --> 00:24:29,698
Progression of
the paralysis pretty much
427
00:24:29,823 --> 00:24:31,450
confirmed Hamilton was right.
It's ALS.
428
00:24:31,575 --> 00:24:33,786
Assuming this is a progression
of his paralysis.
429
00:24:33,911 --> 00:24:35,162
He can't move his arm.
430
00:24:35,287 --> 00:24:38,248
Yes, his arm is paralyzed.
Yes, his legs are paralyzed.
431
00:24:38,373 --> 00:24:41,960
Why is everyone so gung ho
to connect those two conditions?
432
00:24:42,086 --> 00:24:44,755
You can think I'm wrong,
but that's no reason to stop thinking.
433
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,007
How about this one?
He's not our patient.
434
00:24:47,132 --> 00:24:48,675
Nope. Not good enough.
435
00:24:48,801 --> 00:24:51,095
He could've suffered a stroke
when he was intubated.
436
00:24:51,678 --> 00:24:53,722
Well, blood clots are common
in paralyzed patients.
437
00:24:53,847 --> 00:24:55,057
The inactivity causes...
438
00:24:55,182 --> 00:24:56,308
Not interested in why.
439
00:24:56,433 --> 00:24:59,103
Let's get an MR angiogram,
check for an embolic stroke.
440
00:24:59,228 --> 00:25:00,187
He doesn't want
you treating him.
441
00:25:00,312 --> 00:25:01,438
They dropped the court order.
442
00:25:01,563 --> 00:25:03,690
Yeah, and that girl dropped
the charges against Kobe,
443
00:25:03,816 --> 00:25:06,151
doesn't mean he should call her
and see if she's free to get a sundae.
444
00:25:06,276 --> 00:25:09,363
Good point. But I can go
within 50 feet of him now.
445
00:25:16,203 --> 00:25:18,080
If you need,
have them page me, anytime.
446
00:25:18,205 --> 00:25:19,248
Okay-

Get out of here.
450
00:25:38,225 --> 00:25:42,896
Sure. That makes sense.
You hate me for saving your life.
451
00:25:43,230 --> 00:25:44,606
Well, in fairness
to your side,
452
00:25:44,731 --> 00:25:46,024
you were also dying
because of me, so...
453
00:25:46,150 --> 00:25:47,734
You knew I didn't
want to be saved.
454
00:25:47,860 --> 00:25:49,153
That's what's interesting.
455
00:25:49,278 --> 00:25:52,781
Your thyroid was low,
but not enough to cause depression.
456
00:25:53,198 --> 00:25:55,284
So you came here to tell me
that even if I can't walk,
457
00:25:55,409 --> 00:25:57,995
I can still hear
the birds sing,
458
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,914
enjoy a rainbow,
the feeling of sunshine on my face.
459
00:26:02,374 --> 00:26:04,168
Those things are fun.
460
00:26:05,419 --> 00:26:07,254
Okay. Life sucks.
461
00:26:08,172 --> 00:26:10,465
Your life sucks
more than most.
462
00:26:10,591 --> 00:26:14,219
It's not as bad as some,
which is depressing all by itself,
463
00:26:15,429 --> 00:26:17,055
but do me a favor.
464
00:26:18,182 --> 00:26:21,143
Just let me find out
what's wrong with you.
465
00:26:21,518 --> 00:26:24,229
Then if you still
want to kill yourself,
466
00:26:26,982 --> 00:26:30,110
I'll give you a hand.
That sound fair?
467
00:26:30,235 --> 00:26:31,195
Yeah. Sure.
468
00:26:32,237 --> 00:26:35,199
I'll stick around
to indulge your obsession.
469
00:26:35,949 --> 00:26:38,327
It's over. I lost my air.
470
00:26:39,494 --> 00:26:41,205
The session the other night
with those kids,
471
00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:43,665
that was a test to see
if I could still play.
472
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:45,334
I can't.
473
00:26:45,751 --> 00:26:48,295
And that's all
you are, a musician?
474
00:26:49,213 --> 00:26:55,010
- I got one thing, same as you.
- Really?
475
00:26:55,135 --> 00:26:58,013
Well, apparently,
you know me better than I know you.
476
00:26:58,138 --> 00:27:02,184
I know that limp.
I know the empty ring finger.
477
00:27:02,726 --> 00:27:06,313
And that obsessive nature of yours,
that's a big secret.
478
00:27:07,105 --> 00:27:09,274
You don't risk jail
and your career
479
00:27:09,399 --> 00:27:11,235
to save somebody
who doesn't want to be saved
480

unless you got something,
anything, one thing.
481
00:27:15,948 --> 00:27:20,911
The reason normal people got wives
and kids and hobbies, whatever,
482
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:24,164
that's because they ain't got
that one thing that,
483
00:27:24,289 --> 00:27:27,251
that hits them
that hard and that true.
484

all the time,

you south of normal.

00:29:00,594 --> 00:29:02,846
The only reason to attend the thing,
cigars and pool.
510
00:29:03,305 --> 00:29:04,431
(LAUGHING)
511
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:08,352
You enjoy working with Dr. House?
512
00:29:10,645 --> 00:29:12,064
Not the word I'd use.
513
00:29:12,939 --> 00:29:16,193
We work too hard
not to enjoy ourselves, right?
514
00:29:17,736 --> 00:29:20,072
- You seeing anybody?
- Kind of, sort of.
515
00:29:20,197 --> 00:29:23,617
- Serious?
- I don't know. It could be.
516
00:29:23,742 --> 00:29:25,869
You think she'd enjoy LA?
517
00:29:43,929 --> 00:29:46,139
Hamilton offered me a job.
518
00:29:46,264 --> 00:29:48,392
- You gonna take it?
- I haven't decided.
519
00:29:48,517 --> 00:29:50,060
You already have
the most prestigious fellowship.
520
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:51,812
It's a partnership.
521
00:29:51,937 --> 00:29:55,941
Three times the money, car allowance,
moving expense, pension plan,
522
00:29:56,066 --> 00:29:58,735
the chance to work for a guy who gives
a crap what other people think.
523
00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:01,029
So why didn't you
just tell him yes?
524
00:30:01,154 --> 00:30:04,032
- I made a commitment here.
- Right.
525
00:30:04,157 --> 00:30:06,159
House would let you out of it
in a heartbeat.
526
00:30:06,284 --> 00:30:07,994
Or he wouldn't,
just to jerk me around.
527
00:30:08,954 --> 00:30:10,622
Would you guys have
taken the job?
528
00:30:10,747 --> 00:30:11,706
Don't need the money.
529
00:30:11,832 --> 00:30:14,292
I'm not like you.
I don't hate House.
530
00:30:14,418 --> 00:30:17,254
You guys really don't have a problem
with him, with what he did?
531
00:30:17,379 --> 00:30:19,172
He knows we disagree
with his choice.
532
00:30:19,297 --> 00:30:21,550
Choice? Chase, it's not
apples and oranges.
533
00:30:21,675 --> 00:30:22,843
It's right and wrong.
534
00:30:22,968 --> 00:30:24,428
And he does it
like he doesn't care.
535
00:30:24,553 --> 00:30:26,179
He assaults
the guy and moves on
536
00:30:26,304 --> 00:30:27,431
to the next differential diagnosis
like it's...
537
00:30:27,556 --> 00:30:28,890
What do you
want from him?
538
00:30:29,015 --> 00:30:30,392
More hand-wringing,
more torment?
539
00:30:30,517 --> 00:30:32,060
You want him to cry himself
to sleep at night?
540
00:30:32,185 --> 00:30:35,480
Yeah! Yeah, I want some clue
that he knows it's a big deal.
541
00:30:35,605 --> 00:30:37,732
That it scares him,
that it matters.
542
00:30:37,858 --> 00:30:38,817
Whoa!
543
00:30:39,192 --> 00:30:40,318
What was that?
544
00:30:42,154 --> 00:30:43,572
It was a stroke.
545
00:30:44,948 --> 00:30:47,325
- Well done, Cameron.
- House called it.
546
00:30:47,451 --> 00:30:49,286
The arm and legs
are unrelated.
547
00:30:49,953 --> 00:30:52,164
You make enough calls,
one of them is bound to be right.
548
00:30:52,289 --> 00:30:55,333
Yeah. He's just
a lucky, lucky guy.
549
00:30:55,459 --> 00:31:00,297
Listen, listen. I just think it wouldn't
hurt him to learn a little humility.
550
00:31:00,881 --> 00:31:02,716
So what's the verdict?
551
00:31:03,550 --> 00:31:06,678
Embolus. The arm problem was
caused by a clot.
552
00:31:06,803 --> 00:31:09,347
There's a good chance
we can still bust the clot with tPA.
553
00:31:10,056 --> 00:31:12,726
Do it.
See what happens to his arm.
554
00:31:22,569 --> 00:31:25,155
We found a blood clot
in your brain.
555
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,366
We'd like to start you on heparin.
It's a blood thinner.
556
00:31:28,492 --> 00:31:29,743
What are the side effects?
557
00:31:30,494 --> 00:31:33,246
Well, your lungs are kind of chewed up
from the pneumonia.
558
00:31:33,371 --> 00:31:34,873
Good chance
there'll be an effusion.
559
00:31:35,165 --> 00:31:37,751
- Bleeding?
- Into his lungs.
560
00:31:37,876 --> 00:31:40,378
It's our best chance
to give you back the use of your arm.
561
00:31:40,504 --> 00:31:42,172
I don't need my arm
without my air.
562
00:31:42,339 --> 00:31:44,132
The damage would
likely be minimal.
563
00:31:44,257 --> 00:31:45,634
No.
564
00:31:47,969 --> 00:31:49,387
It's his call.
565
00:31:51,598 --> 00:31:53,892
Or we could do
an embolectomy.
566
00:31:54,017 --> 00:31:56,102
Basically, we go in
and pull the clot out.
567
00:31:56,728 --> 00:32:00,273
He's saying no to drugs,
and you're recommending brain surgery?
568
00:32:00,398 --> 00:32:02,359
Bypasses the risk
to the lungs.
569
00:32:02,484 --> 00:32:03,568
It'll either help
your arm, or...
570
00:32:03,693 --> 00:32:05,153
It'll kill me.
571
00:32:05,278 --> 00:32:07,948
From your point of view,
it's a win-win.
572
00:32:09,658 --> 00:32:10,825
Okay-
573
00:32:11,451 --> 00:32:13,370
We'll set up
the procedure for today.
574
00:32:25,173 --> 00:32:27,634
We're in your carotid artery.
575
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:31,513
This is gonna take us
all the way up into your brain.
576
00:32:31,638 --> 00:32:33,265
You all right?
577
00:32:33,932 --> 00:32:35,058
Yes.
578
00:32:42,232 --> 00:32:44,359
CAMERON: The sludge is
blocking the blood flow to
579
00:32:44,484 --> 00:32:46,861
the part of the brain
that controls your arm.
580
00:32:55,954 --> 00:32:58,707
All done. You still okay?
581
00:33:00,834 --> 00:33:02,002
I think so.
582
00:33:03,128 --> 00:33:04,838
I don't know.
I guess...
583
00:33:04,963 --> 00:33:06,548
It's just with
Dr. Hamilton here,
584
00:33:06,673 --> 00:33:08,758
I noticed a difference in styles.
585
00:33:09,593 --> 00:33:11,803
His style involves humility?
586
00:33:13,263 --> 00:33:15,348
Another difference
in our styles,
587
00:33:15,473 --> 00:33:18,560
I don't care much for apologies.
You can go.
588
00:33:18,685 --> 00:33:20,979
I didn't know you were standing there
when I said that, okay?
589
00:33:21,104 --> 00:33:22,397
It was completely rude.
590
00:33:22,522 --> 00:33:24,149
Do you mean genuine humility,
591
00:33:24,274 --> 00:33:26,860
you know, all the self-doubt
and the self-questioning,
592
00:33:26,985 --> 00:33:30,739
or Hamilton's polite, patronizing,
aw-shucks humility?
593
00:33:30,864 --> 00:33:31,906
You're both
excellent doctors.
594
00:33:32,032 --> 00:33:32,991
Thank you.
595
00:33:33,116 --> 00:33:34,951
And humility is
an important quality,
596
00:33:35,869 --> 00:33:37,245
especially if
you're wrong a lot.
597
00:33:37,370 --> 00:33:40,040
You've been wrong
every step of the way.
598
00:33:44,544 --> 00:33:49,549
'Course, when you're right, self-doubt
doesn't help anybody, does it?
599
00:33:50,592 --> 00:33:54,262
(PAGER BEEPING)
600
00:33:55,972 --> 00:33:57,599
We got to go.
601
00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:06,483
Congratulations, Greg.
602
00:34:08,068 --> 00:34:10,779
Congratulations.
Why, Marty?
603
00:34:10,904 --> 00:34:13,156
John woke up.
He can use his arm.
604
00:34:14,074 --> 00:34:15,325
Thank you.
605
00:34:15,450 --> 00:34:17,243
Now, look, I know we've had
our differences,
606
00:34:17,369 --> 00:34:19,120
but I think when
a person does something well,
607
00:34:19,245 --> 00:34:21,289
it ought to
be recognized.
608
00:34:21,414 --> 00:34:23,124
The phone works.
609
00:34:23,249 --> 00:34:24,250
Next time
you want to make me feel
610
00:34:24,376 --> 00:34:26,044
all warm and fuzzy,
leave a message.
611
00:34:26,878 --> 00:34:29,214
Don't get me wrong.
I'm overcome with joy.
612
00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:31,091
- Doc.
- Yeah.
613
00:34:31,216 --> 00:34:34,177
- What?
- You just touched my leg.
614
00:34:35,011 --> 00:34:37,722
What, are you gonna charge me
with assault again?
615
00:34:37,847 --> 00:34:38,890
No.
616
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:41,559
I felt it.
617
00:34:51,653 --> 00:34:54,072
HOUSE: He now has feeling
all the way up to the calf.
618
00:34:54,197 --> 00:34:57,033
This is the way
medicine evolved.
619
00:34:57,158 --> 00:34:58,827
Patients sometimes
get better.
620
00:34:58,952 --> 00:35:02,330
You have no idea why, but unless
you give a reason, they won't pay you.
621
00:35:02,455 --> 00:35:04,374
Anybody notice
if there's a full moon?
622
00:35:04,499 --> 00:35:06,501
You're saying he just
spontaneously got better?
623
00:35:06,626 --> 00:35:09,087
No, I'm saying let's rule out
the lunar god and go from there.
624
00:35:09,212 --> 00:35:11,214
Something he's on
is working.
625
00:35:11,339 --> 00:35:14,384
The enzyme replacement protocol
is working, reversing the ALS.
626
00:35:14,509 --> 00:35:16,845
The timing doesn't
seem suspicious to you?
627
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:18,805
Do you think Dr. House
will see it that way,
628
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:20,724
figure it's his medication
doing the job?
629
00:35:20,849 --> 00:35:22,267
I'm sure he will.
630
00:35:22,392 --> 00:35:23,518
HOUSE: It's one of ours.
631
00:35:23,643 --> 00:35:25,645
How do we figure out which drug
is doing the trick?
632
00:35:25,770 --> 00:35:27,897
Easy.
We just stop all of them.
633
00:35:28,022 --> 00:35:29,107
One of those drugs
is helping him.
634
00:35:29,232 --> 00:35:32,110
And the rest,
steroids, antibiotics,
635
00:35:32,235 --> 00:35:33,778
anti-inflammatories,
they're toxic.
636
00:35:33,903 --> 00:35:34,863
If we leave him
on all of them...
637
00:35:34,988 --> 00:35:35,947
He'll walk again.
638
00:35:36,072 --> 00:35:37,073
Yeah, to his own funeral.
639
00:35:37,198 --> 00:35:38,700
But if we stop everything,
he'll get worse.
640
00:35:38,825 --> 00:35:41,244
True. Then we'll add our medications
back one at a time.
641
00:35:41,369 --> 00:35:43,079
When he gets better,
then we'll have our answer.
642
00:35:43,204 --> 00:35:46,958
- And if he doesn't get better?
- Then we're in trouble.
643
00:35:47,083 --> 00:35:51,921
Not as much as he is,
but I suppose that was your point.
644
00:35:54,174 --> 00:35:56,134
I assume you want me
to convince Hamilton
645
00:35:56,259 --> 00:35:57,302
to stop his treatments, too.
646
00:35:57,427 --> 00:35:58,636
Don't care.
647
00:35:58,762 --> 00:36:01,431
FOREMAN: You know at least five of the
medications are part of his protocol.
648
00:36:01,556 --> 00:36:04,225
If his stuff was helping, the guy
would be playing tennis months ago.
649
00:36:04,559 --> 00:36:06,811
It's our round of
treatment that's helping.
650
00:36:06,936 --> 00:36:09,230
Right. So that's
what you'll stop.
651
00:36:10,106 --> 00:36:12,484
It shouldn't be more
than 15 to 20 minutes.
652
00:36:12,609 --> 00:36:13,902
So your philosophy is,
653
00:36:14,027 --> 00:36:16,196
if they don't want treatment,
they get it shoved down their throat,
654
00:36:16,321 --> 00:36:19,324
but if it might cure their paralysis,
whoa, better slow down.
655
00:36:19,449 --> 00:36:20,575
Yeah.
656
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,953
HOUSE: My old philosophy
used to be live and let live,
657
00:36:24,078 --> 00:36:26,039
but I'm taking this
needlepoint class,
658
00:36:26,164 --> 00:36:28,249
and they gave us
these really big pillows.
659
00:36:28,374 --> 00:36:30,126
What's your philosophy
on employee relations?
660
00:36:30,251 --> 00:36:32,170
That's a very tiny pillow.
661
00:36:32,295 --> 00:36:34,047
Great. It sounds like
you know what you're doing.
662

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
663
00:36:35,673 --> 00:36:37,842
Greg, can I have a word?
664
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:40,804
Can it wait for
the commercial, Marty?
665
00:36:40,929 --> 00:36:42,972
Say hi to
my friend Jimmy.

00:36:48,353 --> 00:36:50,605
Seriously, commercial's
in about five minutes.
669
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:51,815
That's a dangerous game.
670
00:36:51,940 --> 00:36:53,483
Only if we're
watching in the bathtub.
671
00:36:54,234 --> 00:36:57,320
I need to know exactly what medications
you were giving John Henry.
672
00:36:57,445 --> 00:36:58,571
Forget it.
673
00:36:58,696 --> 00:37:00,949
And if Foreman tells you
what John Henry used to be on...
674
00:37:01,074 --> 00:37:03,827
- You're gonna fire him?
- Nope.
675
00:37:03,952 --> 00:37:06,287
I'll make him live out every day
of his two-year contract.
676

- Foreman asked to leave?
- Not yet.

- But how do you know I made him...
- You're a polite twit, not an idiot.
678
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:16,422
I need to know what medications
you've taken him off of.
679
00:37:18,842 --> 00:37:21,261
Wait a second.
You're not an idiot.
680
00:37:24,889 --> 00:37:29,060
You need to know what medications
I've stopped because...
681
00:37:32,063 --> 00:37:33,773
He's getting worse.
682
00:37:38,862 --> 00:37:41,656
Right now you still
work for me. Come on.
683
00:37:43,741 --> 00:37:45,618
No feeling, no wiggling.
684
00:37:45,743 --> 00:37:47,829
Bad news is John Henry's back
where he started.
685
00:37:47,954 --> 00:37:49,706
Good news is
Hamilton looks bad.
686
00:37:49,831 --> 00:37:50,874
Yeah, it's not
whether you win or lose.
687
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,375
It's whether
the other guy loses.
688
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:53,877
What was the first thing
we put him on?
689
00:37:54,002 --> 00:37:55,044
Steroids, for the pneumonia.
690
00:37:55,169 --> 00:37:57,964
Well, put him back on them.
Give him 24 hours. See what happens.
691
00:37:58,089 --> 00:37:59,507
His lungs
aren't great.
692
00:37:59,632 --> 00:38:01,092
They might cause another
respiratory collapse.
693
00:38:01,217 --> 00:38:02,051
I sure hope not.
694
00:38:02,176 --> 00:38:04,304
I didn't much like that lawyer.
And get an MRI.
695
00:38:04,429 --> 00:38:05,513
He already got one
and an MRA.
696
00:38:05,638 --> 00:38:08,099
Well, obviously something is
different now. Do it again.
697
00:38:08,224 --> 00:38:09,267
Chase, take care
of the scan.
698
00:38:09,392 --> 00:38:11,227
Cameron, put him
on the steroids.
699
00:38:14,272 --> 00:38:16,566
We should
probably talk, huh?
700
00:38:21,946 --> 00:38:23,031
CHASE: Thin cuts.
701
00:38:23,156 --> 00:38:24,115
What levels?
702
00:38:24,657 --> 00:38:27,952
T-9 through the cauda equina,
same as the last time.
703
00:38:29,037 --> 00:38:31,956
You really think House would let
Foreman out of his contract?
704
00:38:32,081 --> 00:38:35,209
He has to. If he doesn't,
he's telling Foreman he needs him.
705
00:38:35,335 --> 00:38:37,295
House can't handle that.
706
00:38:42,884 --> 00:38:44,010
Oh, my God.
707
00:38:49,807 --> 00:38:51,434
I checked him out.
708
00:38:52,936 --> 00:38:54,687
He's a great doctor.
709
00:38:55,939 --> 00:38:57,440
You think he's
better than I am?
710
00:38:58,524 --> 00:39:02,612
- This about your ego?
- Answer the question.
711
00:39:04,030 --> 00:39:06,532
It's not gonna change
how I think about myself.
712
00:39:06,658 --> 00:39:08,368
Might affect my
opinion of you,
713
00:39:08,493 --> 00:39:11,245
but that shouldn't affect
your opinion of yourself.
714
00:39:12,121 --> 00:39:13,498
Now I'm getting confused.
715
00:39:13,706 --> 00:39:15,416
If you think he's a better doctor
than I am,
716
00:39:15,541 --> 00:39:17,001
then you should take the job.
717
00:39:17,126 --> 00:39:18,836
Otherwise, you should
get him to buy you
718
00:39:18,962 --> 00:39:20,964
two or three more
nostalgic lunches
719
00:39:21,089 --> 00:39:22,674
and then politely decline.
720
00:39:22,799 --> 00:39:26,094
It's that simple? I should just
ignore the mockery and abuse?
721
00:39:26,219 --> 00:39:29,180
- Oh, how do I abuse you?
- How do you not?
722
00:39:29,305 --> 00:39:30,139
If I make a mistake...
723
00:39:30,264 --> 00:39:31,933
I hold you accountable.
So what?
724
00:39:32,058 --> 00:39:34,978
Dr. Hamilton forgives.
He's capable of moving on.
725
00:39:35,103 --> 00:39:36,604
That is not what he does.
726
00:39:36,729 --> 00:39:38,189
I screwed up his case.
He told me...
727
00:39:38,314 --> 00:39:39,857
He never said
you were forgiven.
728
00:39:39,983 --> 00:39:41,818
I was there. He said
it wasn't your fault.
729
00:39:41,943 --> 00:39:43,945
- So?
- So, it was.
730
00:39:44,904 --> 00:39:46,948
You took a chance.
You did something great.
731
00:39:47,073 --> 00:39:49,200
You were wrong,
but it was still great.
732
00:39:49,325 --> 00:39:50,368
You should feel great that it was great.
733
00:39:50,493 --> 00:39:52,912
You should feel like crap
that it was wrong.
734
00:39:53,037 --> 00:39:54,414
That's the difference
between him and me.
735
00:39:54,789 --> 00:39:57,041
He thinks you do your job,
and what will be, will be.
736
00:39:57,166 --> 00:40:00,253
I think that what I do
and what you do matters.
737
00:40:01,587 --> 00:40:04,298
He sleeps better at night.
He shouldn't.

(DOOR OPENS)
739
00:40:07,385 --> 00:40:11,389
- Arteriovenous malformation.
- lntradural. Compressing his spine.
740
00:40:13,099 --> 00:40:15,018
Causing his paralysis.

(SCOFFS)
742
00:40:16,102 --> 00:40:18,021
How could Hamilton
have missed an AVM?
743
00:40:18,146 --> 00:40:21,691
Well, we missed it, too,
'cause it wasn't there before.
744
00:40:22,525 --> 00:40:24,277
Are you saying it
just grew overnight?
745
00:40:24,402 --> 00:40:26,029
No.
746
00:40:26,154 --> 00:40:29,949
It was on the spine.
It wasn't on the MRI.
747
00:40:30,491 --> 00:40:32,243
Same anatomic location.
748
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:34,120
It's not there.
749
00:40:34,912 --> 00:40:37,248
- Well, what is there?
- Nothing.
750
00:40:37,915 --> 00:40:40,668
Or something that
looks like nothing.
751
00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:45,715
- Background noise, static?
- Scar tissue? Inflammation?
752
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,469
If it's inflammation,
the steroids would've shrunk it down.
753

Revealing the AVM,
754
00:40:52,263 --> 00:40:54,474
which has always been there,
hiding behind its own swelling.
755
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:56,309
We remove that,

I can beat you to the curb.

Thanks for sticking
with the case.
761
00:42:01,791 --> 00:42:03,835
I can't do anything else.
762
00:42:05,837 --> 00:42:08,131
You're much more easily amused
when you can walk.
763
00:42:08,256 --> 00:42:09,507
How bizarre.
764
00:42:10,299 --> 00:42:12,510
I'm guessing that
you weren't exactly Mr. Sunshine

Wow.

you won't play it.

Yes.

buy these things?

Do they have cane stores?

Oh, don't worry about it. You'll be
jogging before you need a second one.

See you tomorrow,
