54

no diagnosis and no relief.

56

A diagnosis that provides
neither an explanation nor a cure

is, by definition,
not a diagnosis.

would disagree.

Putting pressure on his pain helps,
doesn't make it worse.

00:05:43,698 --> 00:05:45,742
He's got abdominal pain,
severe headaches,
72
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:47,035
muscle cramps that come and go.
73
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,411
And he tried
to off himself.
74
00:05:48,536 --> 00:05:50,914
He's, obviously, mentally ill.
The pain's probably psychological.
75
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:53,416
It's not a sign of mental illness
to wanna be pain-free.
76
00:05:53,541 --> 00:05:55,752
It is if your solution
is sucking on a tailpipe.

has been able to find a single thing
wrong with him.
84
00:06:10,850 --> 00:06:11,810
What does that tell you?
85
00:06:11,935 --> 00:06:13,269
It means they're idiots.
86
00:06:13,395 --> 00:06:15,188
It means we got to
start from the beginning.
87
00:06:15,313 --> 00:06:18,274
And do a pain profile to
rule out psychosomatic pain.

It's up and down.
97
00:07:00,233 --> 00:07:03,820
Between the pain and the meds,
his sleep pattern's pretty erratic.

00:07:03,945 --> 00:07:06,698
"He's a calm person. He's more nervous
than most people.
99

"He's so nervous
he's miserable."
100
00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:10,285
He's definitely calm.
101
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:13,288
Sometimes calmer
the worse the pain gets.
102
00:07:14,581 --> 00:07:18,668
I think talking, interacting with other
people, actually makes it worse.
103
00:07:18,793 --> 00:07:19,878
Interesting.
104
00:07:20,003 --> 00:07:21,546
Why, does that
mean something?
105
00:07:21,671 --> 00:07:23,631
No, it's just...
106
00:07:23,757 --> 00:07:27,427
We've seen that
in other patients.
107
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,846

around the house.

110
00:07:35,852 --> 00:07:40,774

"Most of the time

114
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,995
He still laughs,
all the time.
115
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,834
LYNNE: He was always optimistic.
Still is. It's just, it's harder now.
116
00:08:01,044 --> 00:08:05,465
I guess I pray for
strength more than hope.
117
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:13,640

like a Christian Scientist.
119
00:08:16,559 --> 00:08:19,437
He's also more compliant than House.
Kept all the inserts.
120
00:08:19,562 --> 00:08:23,024
Had daily pill dispensers
to make sure he didn't mix them up.
121
00:08:23,149 --> 00:08:26,402
Guess if you're gonna go out in a car,
this ain't a bad one to choose.
122
00:08:26,778 --> 00:08:29,531
If I ever did it, it definitely
wouldn't be like that.
123
00:08:30,615 --> 00:08:32,659
Don't worry,
I'm not making any plans.
124
00:08:32,826 --> 00:08:33,743
I certainly wouldn't know.
125
00:08:33,910 --> 00:08:35,745
Ever since we kissed,
you've been avoiding me.
126
00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:39,207
No, I haven't.
I've just been busy.
127
00:08:39,332 --> 00:08:42,001
Metal polish could cause nerve damage,
if he inhaled enough of it.
128
00:08:42,127 --> 00:08:44,712
And judging by the shine on that car,
he used a fair amount.
129
00:08:44,838 --> 00:08:48,299
And judging by the fact that he owns
a body shop, and one of these,
130
00:08:48,424 --> 00:08:50,176
I'd say he knew
not to inhale.
131
00:08:51,719 --> 00:08:53,721
Busy tonight?
We could get some dinner.
132
00:08:55,223 --> 00:08:56,558
I don't think so.
133
00:08:56,683 --> 00:08:59,853
So, making out, okay,
meals, too intimate?
134
00:08:59,978 --> 00:09:02,230
I don't wanna kiss
you again, either.
135
00:09:02,355 --> 00:09:03,857
Why? Because
we work together?
136
00:09:03,982 --> 00:09:06,818
No. Because I like you.
137
00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:09,654
That makes a lot of sense.
138
00:09:09,779 --> 00:09:12,866
What doesn't make sense is me getting
involved with anyone.
139
00:09:12,991 --> 00:09:16,661
I thought you'd gotten past that. That's
why you agreed to the drug trial.
140

You can't give up
on life because...
141
00:09:17,954 --> 00:09:21,833
I'm not giving up on life,
I'm just giving up on you.
142
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,087
I finally feel like I have a grip
on things, I can handle this.
143
00:09:26,212 --> 00:09:29,883
What I can't handle is dragging anyone
else down with me.
144
00:09:34,596 --> 00:09:36,389
Does this look like
quail to you?
145
00:09:38,349 --> 00:09:41,728
TAUB: You think he's had food poisoning
every day for the last three years?
146
00:09:41,853 --> 00:09:44,564
THIRTEEN: Wild quail can be toxic,
cause rhabdomyolysis,
147
00:09:44,689 --> 00:09:47,233
which would explain his pain as well as
the elevated CK levels.
148
00:09:47,358 --> 00:09:49,736
So would the carbon monoxide
he sucked out of his car.
149
00:09:49,861 --> 00:09:53,114
It's not a toxic reaction,
it's a psychosomatic reaction.
150
00:09:53,239 --> 00:09:56,784
The pain profile showed an excessive
concern about his physical health,
151
00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,411
difficulty sleeping,
getting out of bed...
152
00:09:58,536 --> 00:10:00,163
He's not in pain
because he's depressed,
153
00:10:00,288 --> 00:10:02,165
he's depressed
because he's in pain.
154
00:10:02,332 --> 00:10:05,376
Not according to the pain profile
you ordered. It's not a diet issue.
155
00:10:05,543 --> 00:10:08,671
We should start him on antidepressants,
for his sake as well as his family's.
156
00:10:08,796 --> 00:10:09,964
We're not diagnosing
his family.
157
00:10:10,089 --> 00:10:12,217
We're not diagnosing
you, either.
158
00:10:14,844 --> 00:10:15,970
It's rhabdo.
159
00:10:16,095 --> 00:10:18,681
Push IV fluids, check his urine,
do a muscle biopsy.
160
00:10:18,806 --> 00:10:21,309
What muscle?
He says it hurts all over.
161
00:10:21,434 --> 00:10:23,269
Then she'll
biopsy all over.
162
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,522
Where are you going?
163
00:10:26,648 --> 00:10:28,691
If Cuddy can come in late,
I can leave early.
164
00:10:28,816 --> 00:10:31,861
If you need anything while I'm gone,
just ask Cameron to do it.
165
00:10:34,948 --> 00:10:37,700
So if he just stops eating quail,
the pain will go away?
166
00:10:37,825 --> 00:10:39,577
If we're right,
it's definitely treatable.

in Trendelenburg position.

Means the pain's
not psychosomatic.

Also means it's
not rhabdomyolysis.

Up till now his heart and lungs were
the only places he didn't have pain.

only would be consistent with rhabdo,

to be lungs as well.

No. But categorically
insisting there are no circumstances
207
00:13:40,425 --> 00:13:43,302
means you've got baggage,
personal betrayal, abandonment...

Just because you grew up
in a Charles Dickens novel...

240

no intimacy from it.

nothing to do with you.

00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:39,752
I know.
That's the problem.
245
00:15:39,877 --> 00:15:43,172
There's 80 reasons we shouldn't date.
But you can't shut everyone out.

You're gonna
need help, support.
247
00:15:45,299 --> 00:15:48,302
Look at our patient.
Thirty-two years old, not dead yet,
248
00:15:48,427 --> 00:15:51,097
and already
he's traumatized his wife, his son...
249
00:15:51,222 --> 00:15:54,016
And I'll bet they're cherishing every
traumatic minute he has left,
250
00:15:54,141 --> 00:15:55,768
wouldn't trade him
for the healthiest guy in the world.
251
00:15:55,893 --> 00:16:00,398
True. And they're stuck suffering
with him, hating every day,
252
00:16:00,523 --> 00:16:03,484
only their pain has
no prospect of relief.
253
00:16:03,818 --> 00:16:04,694
This a bad time?
254
00:16:04,819 --> 00:16:05,820
- No.
- Yes.
255
00:16:07,154 --> 00:16:08,406
No trace of cancer
in the patient.
256
00:16:08,531 --> 00:16:10,241
But we did find edema
in his intestines,
257
00:16:10,366 --> 00:16:12,868
air in the intestinal blood vessels,
and House won't answer his phone.
258
00:16:12,994 --> 00:16:15,580
His intestine must be damaged,
the air's leaking into his body.
259
00:16:15,705 --> 00:16:18,040
If there's a blockage
in the superior mesenteric artery,
260
00:16:18,165 --> 00:16:19,709
it could be
choking off blood flow to his intestine.
261
00:16:19,834 --> 00:16:22,044
Blockages all over his body
would explain his pain,
262
00:16:22,169 --> 00:16:23,629
why the cramps come and go.
263
00:16:23,754 --> 00:16:25,881
Do an angioplasty
on the superior mesenteric,
264
00:16:26,007 --> 00:16:28,718
and find the other blockages,
before he has another cardiac arrest.
265
00:16:28,843 --> 00:16:30,177
I'll help.
266
00:16:44,483 --> 00:16:46,360
Good thing we don't
have a suicidal patient
267
00:16:46,485 --> 00:16:48,529
with a horrific,
undiagnosed pain disorder.
268
00:16:48,654 --> 00:16:50,489
We did,
till we diagnosed it.
269
00:16:50,615 --> 00:16:53,451
We found intestinal edema
and air in the blood vessels.
270
00:16:53,576 --> 00:16:54,452
The pain was vascular.
271
00:16:54,577 --> 00:16:56,829
If it was vascular,
we would've seen uneven pulses.
272
00:16:56,954 --> 00:16:59,707
His blood pressure was uneven.
Thirteen and Kutner are doing an angio.
273
00:16:59,832 --> 00:17:01,626
He'd have hemorrhages
in his fingers.
274
00:17:01,751 --> 00:17:04,629
There's air in the intestine,
it has to have come from somewhere.
275
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:11,052
Yes, it does.
276
00:17:13,596 --> 00:17:16,223
After we thread the catheter
through his groin and into position,
277
00:17:16,349 --> 00:17:17,767
the blood will start
flowing freely again.
278
00:17:17,892 --> 00:17:19,727
Will that take
away the pain?
279
00:17:19,852 --> 00:17:24,523
It will be completely ineffective,
and the pain will completely go away.
280
00:17:24,649 --> 00:17:26,651
- Cancel the angio.
- He has air in his blood vessels.
281
00:17:26,776 --> 00:17:28,069
If we don't open
the artery to his intestine...
282
00:17:28,194 --> 00:17:29,820
Where can air come from?
283
00:17:30,821 --> 00:17:31,822
Hmm.
284
00:17:32,239 --> 00:17:35,618
Air can either come from a breach
of the lumen in the small intestine,
285
00:17:35,743 --> 00:17:40,414
or, in rare instances,
air can come from the air.
286
00:17:41,832 --> 00:17:43,209
Teeth marks.
287
00:17:43,876 --> 00:17:45,961
I'm guessing from
when he blew into his IV tube.
288
00:17:46,087 --> 00:17:48,673
Air bubble caused
the PE and cardiac arrest.
289
00:17:48,798 --> 00:17:52,301
You tried to finish the job
that you started at home.
290
00:17:52,426 --> 00:17:55,846

You said that...
291
00:17:55,971 --> 00:17:57,556
I lied.
292
00:18:00,685 --> 00:18:02,228

293
00:18:06,816 --> 00:18:08,651
Please just let me die.

the whole idea of suicide watch

was specifically created
for suicidal patients.

the name was just a coincidence...

00:18:38,472 --> 00:18:39,473
Are there any

Because the telephone...

He insisted
he was no longer...
310
00:18:58,325 --> 00:18:59,744
Apparently, he lied.
311
00:18:59,869 --> 00:19:02,997

you of that remote possibility.

Sorry, I was thinking about the patient.
What were you saying?
315
00:19:14,008 --> 00:19:15,676
- Go on.
- The pain started in his abdomen,
316
00:19:15,801 --> 00:19:18,220
near his intestine.
The first symptom's got to be key.

Explains the pain,

plus there's plenty of muscle cells
in the wall of the intestine.

back in the study.

were back-to-back again.

If the increased strain
makes your arm hurt more,

00:20:32,670 --> 00:20:34,463
you have a muscle abnormality.

If you're right about this McArdle's
disease, can you take away the pain?
344
00:20:39,009 --> 00:20:40,302
With gene replacement therapy,
345
00:20:40,427 --> 00:20:42,721
with lifestyle changes,
we can reduce it.

I wouldn't use it as a social lubricant.

So, hey, thanks
for the good news.
373
00:22:09,183 --> 00:22:10,476
Pain started
in his abdomen.
374
00:22:10,601 --> 00:22:14,271
Now it's hopped from his left arm to his
left leg, skipping the trunk entirely.

- I need the name of a good lawyer.
- We're getting sued?
376

Probably.
That's Cuddy's problem.
377
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,070
Hopping pain. Means it's something
in his brain, not his body.
378
00:22:21,195 --> 00:22:22,696
Except the pain's in two places
379
00:22:22,821 --> 00:22:25,282
that connect two separate regions
of the brain,
380
00:22:25,407 --> 00:22:27,660
which means you're
not using yours.
381

What type of lawyer
do you need?
384

I'll bring it up at the next world
domination subcommittee meeting.
385
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,588
I didn't say I needed a lawyer, I said I
needed the name of a lawyer.
386
00:22:39,713 --> 00:22:42,758
Pain hopped to another limb on the same
side, it's gotta be central...
387
00:22:42,883 --> 00:22:45,344
Could still be peripheral.
If multiple areas of disc disease...
388
00:22:45,469 --> 00:22:49,098
Were consistent with
a completely spotless MRI.

set that patient on fire?

392

That doesn't sound like
a very good lawyer.

If we can't even resolve
body versus brain,

we're never gonna diagnose the guy.

It's not like we can chop off his head
to see if the pain goes away.

coming from
his brain or his body.

Stiff shot of Lidocaine
below the brain stem
404

What about options three,
four and five?
416
00:23:59,835 --> 00:24:01,962
His respiratory system freezes,
or he dies of infection,
417
00:24:02,087 --> 00:24:03,881
or he leaks CNS fluid
like a fire hydrant,
418

Zach, why did
you do this?
502
00:29:23,784 --> 00:29:27,162
Because he's
not Dad anymore.
503
00:29:27,287 --> 00:29:29,164
He just wants it
to be over with.
504
00:29:30,499 --> 00:29:34,503
(CRYING)
Please, please, just let him die.
505
00:29:58,026 --> 00:30:00,987
FOREMAN: Fabry disease might be able
to cause central and peripheral pain.
506
00:30:01,196 --> 00:30:02,739
No angiokeratomata.
507
00:30:02,864 --> 00:30:04,199
Lightning pain
from syphilis.
508
00:30:04,324 --> 00:30:06,034
All the syph tests
were negative.
509
00:30:08,537 --> 00:30:09,913
Why aren't you
guys still talking?
510
00:30:10,038 --> 00:30:11,039
Because we ran
out of ideas.
511
00:30:11,164 --> 00:30:12,624
Nothing explains this.
512
00:30:12,749 --> 00:30:14,000
Something has to.
513
00:30:18,130 --> 00:30:22,050
Unless nothing does.
514
00:30:22,175 --> 00:30:23,468
So now you think it's...
515
00:30:23,593 --> 00:30:25,762
Mine's a more interesting
version of nothing.
516
00:30:25,887 --> 00:30:28,557
It used to be something.
We can't find anything
517
00:30:28,682 --> 00:30:33,478
because whatever injury caused the
original pain healed a long time ago.
518
00:30:33,603 --> 00:30:36,731
The only thing left
is the drugs.
519
00:30:38,442 --> 00:30:39,526
Opioid-induced pain.
520
00:30:39,651 --> 00:30:43,238
Pain and the drugs that treat pain work
by changing brain chemistry.
521
00:30:43,363 --> 00:30:45,073
Sometimes to the point
where pain receptors
522
00:30:45,198 --> 00:30:48,034
read painkillers as killer pain.
523
00:30:49,035 --> 00:30:51,246
Take him off the drugs.
524
00:30:51,371 --> 00:30:53,039
We can't cure him,
so we're gonna torture him?
525
00:30:53,165 --> 00:30:56,668
Torture is the cure. Eventually his body
will recalibrate itself.
526
00:30:56,793 --> 00:30:57,878
Assuming you're right.
527
00:30:58,003 --> 00:31:00,213
Yes, I find it confusing
to assume otherwise.
528
00:31:00,338 --> 00:31:03,675
How would you like
to stop taking Vicodin?
529
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,343
Good thing I'm
not the patient.
530
00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:09,097
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
531
00:31:10,056 --> 00:31:11,683
It's open.
532
00:31:16,563 --> 00:31:18,148
(CHUCKLING)
533
00:31:18,565 --> 00:31:20,734
- Thank you.
- Is it too big?
534
00:31:20,859 --> 00:31:23,695
She'll grow into it.
Put it there.
535
00:31:25,447 --> 00:31:29,117
I take it the home inspection
was pushed back?
536
00:31:29,242 --> 00:31:30,619
I passed.
537
00:31:33,288 --> 00:31:34,915
You do realize
that's a good thing?
538
00:31:35,290 --> 00:31:37,042
This place was a disaster.
539
00:31:37,167 --> 00:31:40,921
I had to stash a dirty
diaper in my briefcase.
540
00:31:41,046 --> 00:31:42,589
So you buy another briefcase.
541
00:31:42,714 --> 00:31:45,634
I let House supervise himself.
That's like handing a 12-year-old
542
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,552
the keys to the liquor
cabinet and the car.
543
00:31:47,677 --> 00:31:49,137
You passed the inspection.
544
00:31:49,262 --> 00:31:51,723
The patient lived.
The car is still in the driveway.
545
00:31:51,848 --> 00:31:53,850
And the next time my nanny gets sick?
546
00:31:53,975 --> 00:31:55,977
When House wants
to saw someone in half?
547
00:31:56,102 --> 00:31:58,730
Did I mention you
passed the inspection?
548
00:32:00,690 --> 00:32:04,110
I passed by their meager standard,
I failed by mine.
549
00:32:04,945 --> 00:32:06,947
Why do women
always do that?
550
00:32:08,657 --> 00:32:10,909
- Fail?
- Create ridiculous standards
551
00:32:11,034 --> 00:32:14,162
that no human could meet.
With your careers, with your kids.
552
00:32:14,287 --> 00:32:15,539
You gotta be more
like us men.
553
00:32:15,664 --> 00:32:17,749
Be lazy? Blame others?
554
00:32:18,333 --> 00:32:21,044
Get help.
Most men in your position
555
00:32:21,169 --> 00:32:23,129
have a deputy and
two assistants at work,
556
00:32:23,255 --> 00:32:25,173
and a wife and two nannies at home.
557
00:32:25,298 --> 00:32:28,468
You're not Superwoman,
don't be a martyr.
558
00:32:32,472 --> 00:32:34,558
We'll be injecting
you with naloxone,
559
00:32:34,683 --> 00:32:37,102
which will knock the opioids
out of your pain receptors.
560
00:32:37,227 --> 00:32:39,646
If we're right, your system will
recalibrate within a few hours,
561
00:32:39,771 --> 00:32:41,439
- and most of the pain will be gone.
- Hours?
562
00:32:41,565 --> 00:32:42,566
I need those drugs.
563
00:32:42,691 --> 00:32:43,650
Not if they're
causing your pain.
564
00:32:43,775 --> 00:32:45,777
Then knock me out,
sedate me while you...
565
00:32:45,902 --> 00:32:48,613
That takes drugs, too. We need to clear
everything out of your system.
566
00:32:48,738 --> 00:32:50,115
Please, I'll try
anything else.
567
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,741
TAUB: That's what
we're trying to stop.
568
00:32:57,664 --> 00:33:00,333
So it's not your parents, then it's
your wife, someone you were close...
569
00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:04,129
A colleague.
We were residents together.
570
00:33:04,546 --> 00:33:08,800
I should've done more to stop it. He had
the mother of all God complexes.
571
00:33:08,925 --> 00:33:12,679
So busy treating everyone's problems,
he was blind to his own.
572
00:33:12,804 --> 00:33:17,142
Helped himself to a vial of insulin.
It's a miracle he survived.
573
00:33:17,267 --> 00:33:21,813
His friends and family almost didn't.
He was a selfish ass.
574
00:33:27,569 --> 00:33:28,820
It'll be over soon.

(JEFF GROANING)
576
00:33:34,951 --> 00:33:38,580
This is lunacy.
You're torturing this guy on a hunch.
577
00:33:39,331 --> 00:33:41,207
It's the only
hunch we've got.
578
00:33:41,875 --> 00:33:45,837
If I really wanted to torture him,
I'd manipulate a clinical trial
579
00:33:45,962 --> 00:33:47,964
in the hopes that
he'd sleep with you.
580
00:33:48,632 --> 00:33:52,010
Are you suggesting I got Thirteen in
that trial because of some personal...
581
00:33:52,135 --> 00:33:54,888
I think you got her in
because of your usual messiah complex.
582
00:33:55,013 --> 00:33:56,806
I think you messed
with the appointment schedule
583
00:33:56,931 --> 00:34:01,936
because of your I-like-to-have-sex
complex. I checked the logs.
584
00:34:03,063 --> 00:34:05,899
You moved your most
promising patient right before her.
585
00:34:06,024 --> 00:34:09,235
False hope being
quite the aphrodisiac.
586
00:34:09,361 --> 00:34:11,780
How's it false if the trials
are showing results?
587
00:34:11,905 --> 00:34:15,200
If it were that promising, you wouldn't
have to change the schedule.
588
00:34:15,492 --> 00:34:18,745
But, hey,
hope springs eternal.

a cooking accident?

First time making
Cherries Jubilee.
592
00:34:31,675 --> 00:34:32,634
Awfully big fire.
593
00:34:32,759 --> 00:34:36,304
If you ask me, some of the portions
in that recipe were off.
594
00:34:36,429 --> 00:34:41,393
I sure hope it happens to be covered,
under, say, section three,
595
00:34:41,518 --> 00:34:45,105
subsection 2.2, paragraph one.
"Accidental fire damage."
596
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:48,525
In which case you'd have to
replace the entire water line
597
00:34:48,650 --> 00:34:50,860
to fix the sagging pipe.
598
00:34:50,985 --> 00:34:51,986
I guess so.

I'd hate to have your next-door
neighbors end up with no hot water.

00:34:57,158 --> 00:34:59,494
Lucky the fire skipped
your pipes entirely.

It's not working.
605
00:35:25,937 --> 00:35:29,524
I know. I've started him
back on the pain meds.
606
00:35:32,235 --> 00:35:33,570
Which means you can leave.
607
00:35:33,695 --> 00:35:34,946
My son was right.
608
00:35:35,071 --> 00:35:37,991
I've tried for so long
to protect him from...

00:35:39,409 --> 00:35:41,244
But I'm the one
who's been selfish.
610
00:35:42,704 --> 00:35:43,830
This is no way
for him to live.
611
00:35:43,955 --> 00:35:45,623
Until we get an answer,
it's the only way.

- There is no answer.
- There's always an answer.

as hell don't.

shape for the drive home,

Because I have principles?
632

Because you paid
more to bribe me

to lie on your claim
than the entire cost of the repair.

I don't care if I pay,
635
00:37:21,845 --> 00:37:23,346
as long as the people
who pocketed my premiums
636
00:37:23,471 --> 00:37:25,890
for the last nine
years also pay.
637
00:37:26,808 --> 00:37:28,768

they make you think of?

STDs, testosterone issues,
that summer on Fire Island.
645
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:18,818
Oh, so close.
The correct answer is epilepsy.
646
00:38:19,402 --> 00:38:21,029
Epilepsy doesn't
cause chronic pain.
647
00:38:21,154 --> 00:38:23,281
It does if it spreads
to the sensory region of the brain,
648
00:38:23,406 --> 00:38:24,991
then rewires the pain neurons.
649
00:38:25,116 --> 00:38:26,409
Would've shown up
on an EEG.
650
00:38:26,534 --> 00:38:29,037
Not if the seizures are in a place
you can't see on an EEG,
651
00:38:29,162 --> 00:38:30,622
a place too deep
in the brain,
652
00:38:30,747 --> 00:38:34,250
like the area that controls the muscles
supporting the...
653
00:38:35,543 --> 00:38:37,086
Testicles.
654
00:38:43,968 --> 00:38:46,429
Feels like you got kicked
in the nads, doesn't it?
655
00:38:48,222 --> 00:38:51,684
The abdominal pain,
how it all started.
656
00:38:51,809 --> 00:38:54,854
It wasn't the stomach.
It was lower, right?
657
00:38:55,313 --> 00:38:56,606
It's everywhere.
658
00:38:56,731 --> 00:38:58,024
But when it first started.
659
00:38:58,149 --> 00:39:00,485
It started in the
stomach, cramps.
660
00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:05,323
Like bad gas or
a permeating pain?
661
00:39:06,157 --> 00:39:09,327
Like your kidneys were being pulled out
through your scrotum?
662
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:13,957
Why?
663
00:39:14,082 --> 00:39:16,125
Because epilepsy
is treatable.
664
00:40:26,195 --> 00:40:29,198
Looks like we shot
the guys with the torches.
665
00:40:29,323 --> 00:40:32,243
Yeah. Pays to hang around.
666
00:40:35,204 --> 00:40:37,415
That selfish ass
with the God complex
667
00:40:37,623 --> 00:40:40,251
who almost made
the stupidest decision of his life,
668
00:40:40,835 --> 00:40:43,796
it wasn't your colleague,
was it? It was you.
669
00:40:45,923 --> 00:40:47,008
No.
670
00:40:52,180 --> 00:40:53,347
See you tomorrow.
671
00:41:06,694 --> 00:41:08,404
You're here early.
672
00:41:09,906 --> 00:41:11,282
I'm feeling better.
673
00:41:15,870 --> 00:41:17,955
- What's wrong?
- IV's leaking a little.
674
00:41:18,081 --> 00:41:19,165
It's no big deal.
675
00:41:19,290 --> 00:41:21,209
I'll be right back.
676
00:41:21,334 --> 00:41:22,460
Foreman.
677
00:41:24,962 --> 00:41:26,214
You busy tonight?
678
00:41:29,050 --> 00:41:30,134
No.
679
00:41:38,267 --> 00:41:41,687
Rita, the spike on Dr. Hadley's IV bag
wasn't pushed in all the way.
680
00:41:41,813 --> 00:41:43,022
I don't want
any dosing errors.
681
00:41:43,147 --> 00:41:45,233
Sorry. It won't happen again.
682
00:41:46,317 --> 00:41:48,236
- Stinks, doesn't it?
- What?
683
00:41:48,361 --> 00:41:51,823
The medication. When we switch out the
bags you can smell it. It's disgusting.
684
00:41:51,948 --> 00:41:53,241
I didn't smell anything.
685
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,993
She must be on
the placebo, then.
686
00:42:16,055 --> 00:42:19,267
You offered to do House's budget because
you wanted him to owe you,
687
00:42:19,392 --> 00:42:22,186
wanted him to take
that case. Why?
688
00:42:22,311 --> 00:42:24,814
I thought it would help House,
seeing someone worse off than him,
689
00:42:24,939 --> 00:42:27,608
possibly curing a guy
with even less to look forward to.
690
00:42:31,737 --> 00:42:33,030
(CLEARS THROAT)
691
00:42:33,489 --> 00:42:35,074
Can I ask you something?
692
00:42:38,244 --> 00:42:40,163
How would you like my job?
