1
00:00:19,082 --> 00:00:20,083
TAUB:
Pressure. I need pressure.
2
00:00:20,208 --> 00:00:21,460
JESSICA:
Give me sutures...
3
00:00:21,585 --> 00:00:22,628
TAUB:
We need an Epi.
4
00:00:22,753 --> 00:00:24,046
JESSICA:
Alert trauma.
5
00:00:42,606 --> 00:00:43,982
(EXHALES)
6
00:01:11,635 --> 00:01:12,844
(BEEPS)
7
00:01:16,765 --> 00:01:18,558
Let the record show
that we are officially
8
00:01:18,684 --> 00:01:20,811
convening
a disciplinary hearing
9
00:01:20,936 --> 00:01:25,691
regarding the events on February 3rd,
2012, in patient room 209.
10
00:01:25,816 --> 00:01:28,694
Dr. House, this recording
will be transcribed and published
11
00:01:28,819 --> 00:01:31,822
along with all supporting
documentation and rulings.
12
00:01:32,614 --> 00:01:35,325
Do you have any questions
before we get started?
13
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:36,576
Yeah.
14
00:01:37,661 --> 00:01:39,329
Who the hell are you?
15
00:01:41,206 --> 00:01:44,876
I'm Walter Cofield.
Chief of Neurology, Mercy Hospital.
16
00:01:45,001 --> 00:01:46,837
I'll be deciding
your fate today.
17
00:01:56,012 --> 00:01:57,556
Cofield.
18
00:01:59,099 --> 00:02:02,436
You were the Residency Director at
Hopkins before you moved to Mercy.
19
00:02:02,561 --> 00:02:04,771
Which means it's safe to assume
that you trained Foreman.
20
00:02:04,896 --> 00:02:06,732
Which means it's also safe to assume
that he trusts you.
21
00:02:06,857 --> 00:02:08,650
This hearing isn't
about me, Dr. House.
22
00:02:08,775 --> 00:02:09,901
I know you'd like
to make it about me
23
00:02:10,026 --> 00:02:12,738
because then
it wouldn't be about you.
24
00:02:12,863 --> 00:02:16,158
It's interesting that he picked
the old mentor to judge the new one.
25
00:02:16,283 --> 00:02:18,577
Interesting,
but not relevant.
26
00:02:18,702 --> 00:02:20,328
The facts of this case,
27
00:02:20,454 --> 00:02:23,832
on the other hand...
- The facts are in the file.
28
00:02:23,957 --> 00:02:26,209
If you have trouble reading
my handwriting, give me a call.
29
00:02:26,334 --> 00:02:28,670
I'm going back to work.
30
00:02:29,379 --> 00:02:33,300
If I just consider the file,
the facts aren't in your favor.
31
00:02:34,092 --> 00:02:36,595
The facts say
you should be suspended.
32
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,846
Which,
from what I understand,
33
00:02:37,971 --> 00:02:40,974
would mean
a revocation of your parole.
34
00:02:59,242 --> 00:03:02,370
The patient was a 32-year-old
high school chemistry teacher.
35
00:03:02,496 --> 00:03:04,956
He collapsed
while out jogging.
36
00:03:05,081 --> 00:03:06,792
He was paralyzed in
all four extremities
37
00:03:06,917 --> 00:03:08,126
despite the fact
that the scans...
38
00:03:08,251 --> 00:03:11,296
...show no sign of stroke
or structural lesions.
39
00:03:11,421 --> 00:03:13,048
Did you put out
an APB for a car
40
00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:15,467
with a man-shaped
dent in the grill?
41
00:03:15,592 --> 00:03:17,969
No broken bones,
no signs of trauma.
42
00:03:18,094 --> 00:03:20,639
Transverse myelitis.
Boring.
43
00:03:20,972 --> 00:03:23,225
No enhancement
on the MRI.
44
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:24,643
I just don't know
what to do.
45
00:03:24,768 --> 00:03:27,938
Please, you have to
help me solve this thing.
46
00:03:35,445 --> 00:03:37,280
A little poetic license.
47
00:03:38,615 --> 00:03:40,200
What are you doing?
48
00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:42,953
Taking my vic-amins.
49
00:03:43,078 --> 00:03:44,079
Those are Vicodin?
50
00:03:44,204 --> 00:03:45,622
Did you have
surgery recently?
51
00:03:45,747 --> 00:03:47,290
About a decade ago.
52
00:03:47,624 --> 00:03:49,918
My leg is no good
at judging time.
53
00:03:50,043 --> 00:03:52,754
Were you taking Vicodin
during this case?
54
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:54,089
(SIGHING) Uh...
55
00:03:54,381 --> 00:03:55,549
Yes.
56
00:03:58,927 --> 00:04:02,097
And during
about nine years' previous cases.
57
00:04:03,098 --> 00:04:04,182
(CLATTERING)
58
00:04:04,307 --> 00:04:06,142
My process is proven.
59
00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:10,522
Good things usually happen.
Bad things sometimes happen.
60
00:04:12,065 --> 00:04:15,527
And when bad things happen,
we should figure out what went wrong
61
00:04:15,652 --> 00:04:17,821
so we can learn from it
and correct it.
62
00:04:17,946 --> 00:04:19,531
So we can assign blame.
63
00:04:19,656 --> 00:04:23,618
Instead of recognizing
that bad things sometimes happen.
64
00:04:26,872 --> 00:04:28,665
It was nobody's fault.
65
00:04:32,002 --> 00:04:33,587
And then what happened?
66
00:04:36,131 --> 00:04:39,759
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
67
00:04:39,885 --> 00:04:42,262
Those who can't teach,
teach gym.
68
00:04:42,554 --> 00:04:46,975
And those who can't move their arms
or legs teach us to laugh at others.
69
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,852
House actually
presented the case in that way?
70
00:04:48,977 --> 00:04:51,396
Or are you just trying
to make him look bad?
71
00:04:52,147 --> 00:04:54,941
Why would I be trying
to make him look bad?
72
00:04:55,066 --> 00:04:56,651
Could be your
not-so-subtle way
73
00:04:56,776 --> 00:04:58,904
of implying
this was House's fault.
74
00:04:59,487 --> 00:05:00,989
Given what's happened,
it's understandable
75
00:05:01,114 --> 00:05:02,991
that your opinion
would color your testimony.
76
00:05:03,116 --> 00:05:04,868
But I just want to know
what you said, what you did
77
00:05:04,993 --> 00:05:07,412
and what you were
thinking at the time.
78
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:10,790
I don't think
it was his fault.
79
00:05:13,418 --> 00:05:16,046
Just tell me
your initial theory.
80
00:05:16,713 --> 00:05:18,506
I thought the patient
had a liver problem.
81
00:05:18,632 --> 00:05:20,884
Hepatic encephalopathy
explained why he passed out,
82
00:05:21,009 --> 00:05:22,761
why he couldn't
move his limbs.
83
00:05:22,886 --> 00:05:25,430
But that's not the idea
House went with?
84
00:05:25,889 --> 00:05:28,350
He thought Taub's idea
was stupid.
85
00:05:28,808 --> 00:05:30,101
And what about
your idea?
86
00:05:30,226 --> 00:05:32,062
He thought that
was stupid, too.
87
00:05:32,187 --> 00:05:33,438
(LAUGHS)
88
00:05:33,563 --> 00:05:35,106
No. I meant,
what was it?
89
00:05:35,231 --> 00:05:39,069
Oh. I thought the patient had
normal pressure hydrocephalus.
90
00:05:39,194 --> 00:05:41,321
And why did House think
that was stupid?
91
00:05:41,446 --> 00:05:43,156
HOUSE: Oh, come on.
92
00:05:43,406 --> 00:05:46,618
Unless you're an idiot, you know
why I thought Park was an idiot.
93
00:05:47,911 --> 00:05:50,664
The patient had
low opening pressure on his LP.
94
00:05:51,122 --> 00:05:52,624
That's what I said.
95
00:05:52,749 --> 00:05:54,250
No, you idiot.
96
00:05:54,376 --> 00:05:57,212
The patient had
low opening pressure on his LP.
97
00:05:57,337 --> 00:06:00,298
Try unsquinting your eyes
and reading the labs next time.
98
00:06:00,423 --> 00:06:02,926
Are you intentionally
trying to get me to dislike you?
99
00:06:03,051 --> 00:06:04,844
That wasn't me.
The chair squeaked.
100
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:06,346
You're testifying
for the record
101
00:06:06,471 --> 00:06:09,683
that you actually used the phrasing,
"unsquint your eyes"?
102
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:12,394
This is not the place to exorcise
your guilt, I just want to know...
103
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:18,024
I actually used the phrasing
"unsquint your eyes."
104
00:06:20,151 --> 00:06:23,697
He's hypokalemic, could indicate
a problem with his heart, which would...
105
00:06:23,822 --> 00:06:24,990
EKG was normal.
106
00:06:25,115 --> 00:06:26,282
HOUSE: But, Chase,
107
00:06:26,408 --> 00:06:27,617
a doctor who
actually takes the time
108
00:06:27,742 --> 00:06:29,911
to read the lab reports,
has a point.
109
00:06:30,036 --> 00:06:31,496
The guy's
potassium is off.
110
00:06:31,621 --> 00:06:33,373
Could be
thyrotoxic paralysis.
111
00:06:33,498 --> 00:06:36,668
Start him on steroids, PTU,
and beta blockers.
112
00:06:37,460 --> 00:06:38,753
Mmm-hmm.
113
00:06:40,088 --> 00:06:45,135
And how did these orange smudges
get on the patient file?
114
00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:47,887
Seriously?
That's your follow up?
115
00:06:49,514 --> 00:06:52,600
I eat a lot of Cheetos,
I forget to wash my hands.
116
00:06:53,226 --> 00:06:55,228
Is my snacking
really relevant to this case?
117
00:06:55,353 --> 00:06:59,149
Might be, if these were
actually Cheetos stains.
118
00:06:59,274 --> 00:07:00,442
What are they?
119
00:07:07,741 --> 00:07:09,576
Seriously, House?
120
00:07:10,869 --> 00:07:12,245
You're blaming me?
121
00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:14,456
You used Adams' shampoo.
122
00:07:15,874 --> 00:07:17,333
I didn't do it.
123
00:07:19,502 --> 00:07:21,838
HOUSE:
It was a harmless prank.
124
00:07:21,963 --> 00:07:24,883
My team is made up of
Type A personalities.
125
00:07:25,008 --> 00:07:27,969
They need somebody to break
the tension every once in a while.
126
00:07:28,094 --> 00:07:29,679
So this was a team
building exercise?
127
00:07:30,096 --> 00:07:31,473
Is that what
he called it?
128
00:07:31,598 --> 00:07:33,016
It's what he implied.
129
00:07:33,141 --> 00:07:35,685
House prefers
chaos over cohesion.
130
00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:40,982
He believes that disagreement
and mistrust lead to better ideas.
131
00:07:41,107 --> 00:07:42,400
He's not wrong.
132
00:07:42,525 --> 00:07:44,778
As opposed to
being right?
133
00:07:46,988 --> 00:07:48,364
So you treated
with steroids.
134
00:07:48,490 --> 00:07:50,241
- And then what happened?
- They worked.
135
00:07:50,366 --> 00:07:51,701
Our patient woke up.
136
00:07:51,826 --> 00:07:53,203
EMILY: Bill?
137
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,288
Can you hear me?
138
00:07:55,413 --> 00:07:56,748
Yeah.
139
00:07:57,123 --> 00:07:59,000
I'm thirsty.
140
00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:02,087
That's normal.
You've been in a coma for several hours.
141
00:08:02,212 --> 00:08:03,922
Can you tell me
your name?
142
00:08:04,047 --> 00:08:06,257
Bill. Bill Koppelman.
143
00:08:07,092 --> 00:08:08,593
Can you tell me
what happened to me?
144
00:08:08,718 --> 00:08:10,053
We're treating you for
an overactive thyroid.
145
00:08:10,178 --> 00:08:12,055
We think that's why you passed out
and couldn't move.
146
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:13,973
Can you wiggle
your fingers for me?
147
00:08:16,142 --> 00:08:17,227
Is he going
to be okay?
148
00:08:17,352 --> 00:08:20,188
Excuse me,
but only family members are allowed.
149
00:08:20,563 --> 00:08:23,525
It's okay.
They're my students.
150
00:08:24,275 --> 00:08:27,112
Everyone back at school
is so worried about you.
151
00:08:27,237 --> 00:08:29,322
Is he sick because
of the explosion?
152
00:08:30,698 --> 00:08:32,158
What explosion?
What explosion?
153
00:08:33,076 --> 00:08:34,119
What explosion?
154
00:08:34,244 --> 00:08:37,122
A chemistry demonstration
he was doing for his class went wrong.
155
00:08:37,247 --> 00:08:38,665
Then why was it
not already in the patient history?
156
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:40,917
Because the patient
was unconscious.
157
00:08:42,961 --> 00:08:44,754
But I'm assuming
Dr. House spoke to the wife.
158
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,048
The wife didn't know
about the explosion.
159
00:08:47,173 --> 00:08:48,466
And I was the one
who questioned her.
160
00:08:48,591 --> 00:08:50,677
So if there was
an oversight, it was mine.
161
00:08:53,555 --> 00:08:56,266
Does Dr. House not attach
importance to patient histories?
162
00:08:56,391 --> 00:08:58,268
No. He thinks
they're crucial.
163
00:08:58,393 --> 00:09:03,189
He just doesn't think being in
the same room as the patient is crucial.
164
00:09:04,357 --> 00:09:06,025
House thinks
avoiding patients
165
00:09:06,151 --> 00:09:08,695
allows him to
stay as objective as possible.
166
00:09:11,239 --> 00:09:12,907
He's not wrong.
167
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:16,411
That sounds like a very diplomatic way
of saying he's lazy.
168
00:09:16,536 --> 00:09:18,288
That's also true.
169
00:09:18,413 --> 00:09:20,081
Either way,
I'm covered.
170
00:09:20,206 --> 00:09:21,749
If you want an accurate
patient history,
171
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:23,501
don't ever talk
to the patient.
172
00:09:23,626 --> 00:09:25,378
Everybody lies.
173
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:28,423
Except me.
174
00:09:28,548 --> 00:09:29,966
To you.
175
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:31,217
Would never do that.
176
00:09:31,342 --> 00:09:33,344
Okay. Say you're right.
177
00:09:33,469 --> 00:09:37,473
If you had actually been in the room
questioning the patient,
178
00:09:37,599 --> 00:09:39,309
you could read
body language,
179
00:09:39,434 --> 00:09:41,686
you could ask
follow up questions,
180
00:09:41,811 --> 00:09:45,231
and warn him
of the cost of lying to you.
181
00:09:45,356 --> 00:09:47,233
Don't forget thumbscrews.
182
00:09:48,902 --> 00:09:50,403
Can you dispute
the possibility
183
00:09:50,528 --> 00:09:53,948
that had you visited the patient sooner,
maybe talked to the wife,
184
00:09:54,365 --> 00:09:55,491
been directed to
one of the students,
185
00:09:55,617 --> 00:09:59,162
that this case might have
ended very differently?
186
00:10:00,538 --> 00:10:03,791
BILL: It wasn't exactly
an explosion.
187
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:08,338
It was a controlled reaction
that went a little haywire.
188
00:10:08,463 --> 00:10:10,089
JORDAN:
It was, too, an explosion.
189
00:10:10,423 --> 00:10:12,592
Simon Harris filmed the whole thing
on his camera phone
190
00:10:12,717 --> 00:10:14,135
and posted it
on YouTube.
191
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:16,638
It got, like,
over 75,000 hits already.
192
00:10:17,347 --> 00:10:18,932
Looks like you've
gone viral, hon.
193
00:10:19,265 --> 00:10:20,350
(GAGGING)
194
00:10:20,725 --> 00:10:22,185
(RETCHING)
195
00:10:23,478 --> 00:10:28,149
He had a loss of consciousness,
temporary paralysis,
196
00:10:28,274 --> 00:10:30,735
but when I was told
that the patient coughed up blood,
197
00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:34,447
things really started
to get interesting.
198
00:10:36,866 --> 00:10:40,119
Your patient was doubled over in pain
and coughing up blood.
199
00:10:40,245 --> 00:10:42,247
And you found
that interesting?
200
00:10:42,872 --> 00:10:44,290
Why, is that bad?
201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,670
It's interesting.
202
00:10:55,343 --> 00:10:55,425
I do this demonstration
every year.
203
00:10:55,426 --> 00:10:57,971
I do this demonstration
every year.
204
00:10:58,096 --> 00:11:00,390
But I usually have a student aide
help me set it up.
205
00:11:00,515 --> 00:11:04,519
Apparently this year
he added extra hydrofluoric acid,
206
00:11:04,644 --> 00:11:05,812
which is why
it exploded.
207
00:11:05,937 --> 00:11:08,481
The student aide was
just trying to make a viral video,
208
00:11:08,606 --> 00:11:10,358
not hurt anyone.
209
00:11:10,483 --> 00:11:12,277
Ended up doing both.
210
00:11:12,610 --> 00:11:14,862
So we figured the patient inhaled
the extra large dose
211
00:11:14,988 --> 00:11:16,155
of hydrofluoric acid,
and...
212
00:11:16,281 --> 00:11:18,741
...burned his lungs,
which is why he coughed up blood.
213
00:11:18,866 --> 00:11:21,536
If only burnt lungs explained
the passing out and paralysis.
214
00:11:21,661 --> 00:11:23,830
The explosion does.
Check out the video again.
215
00:11:23,955 --> 00:11:25,498
He smacked his head
against the wall.
216
00:11:25,623 --> 00:11:27,750
If that caused swelling
in his brainstem
217
00:11:27,875 --> 00:11:31,337
that would have led to the eventual
loss of consciousness and paralysis.
218
00:11:31,462 --> 00:11:34,257
So we discussed it
a little longer
219
00:11:34,382 --> 00:11:37,844
and House decided to
treat with heparin.
220
00:11:40,388 --> 00:11:42,307
I wouldn't mind
a couple more details.
221
00:11:44,017 --> 00:11:46,227
It was aerosolized heparin.
222
00:11:46,352 --> 00:11:48,938
You skipped over
the actual DDX,
223
00:11:49,063 --> 00:11:51,983
and now you're
averting your eyes.
224
00:11:52,108 --> 00:11:54,402
I'm growing more and more curious
by the moment.
225
00:11:55,611 --> 00:11:56,779
(SIGHS)
226
00:11:58,573 --> 00:12:00,199
He smacked his head
against the wall.
227
00:12:00,325 --> 00:12:02,577
If that caused swelling
in his brainstem
228
00:12:02,702 --> 00:12:05,955
that would have led to the eventual
loss of consciousness and paralysis.
229
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,540
HOUSE: Nobody move.
Ugh!
230
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:10,043
He had on a what?
231
00:12:10,418 --> 00:12:11,878
Gas mask.
232
00:12:17,091 --> 00:12:19,260
The stink bomb
was Chase's.
233
00:12:19,385 --> 00:12:22,221
He was getting revenge
for the orange hair
234
00:12:22,347 --> 00:12:25,183
and rigged it
in House's office.
235
00:12:25,308 --> 00:12:27,477
But House found it.
236
00:12:30,229 --> 00:12:31,314
Mmm-hmm.
237
00:12:33,524 --> 00:12:35,068
You can leave when
I have an answer.
238
00:12:35,193 --> 00:12:36,778
Might help if
we knew the question.
239
00:12:36,903 --> 00:12:41,157
How do we treat
chemical burns inside the lungs?
240
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:44,869
Maybe we can use a bronchoalveolar
lavage to wash them out with water.
241
00:12:44,994 --> 00:12:47,246
Sorry, my fault,
I should have clarified.
242
00:12:47,372 --> 00:12:49,457
How do we treat
chemical burns inside the lungs
243
00:12:49,582 --> 00:12:51,250
without killing
the patient?
244
00:12:51,376 --> 00:12:54,295
Silver sulfadiazine
works well on chemical burns.
245
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:56,547
HOUSE: Burn cream
would drown him faster than water.
246
00:12:57,382 --> 00:12:58,466
Well?
247
00:12:59,592 --> 00:13:01,511
Aerosolized heparin.
248
00:13:03,221 --> 00:13:04,305
Me “key .
249
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:05,973
CHI: But that's
only experimental,
250
00:13:06,099 --> 00:13:07,517
it's never actually
been used before.
251
00:13:07,642 --> 00:13:08,768
Not true.
252
00:13:09,060 --> 00:13:10,269
It's been used
in sheep.
253
00:13:10,395 --> 00:13:11,771
Uh-huh.
254
00:13:15,358 --> 00:13:17,360
The guy was
going downhill fast.
255
00:13:17,485 --> 00:13:20,822
We needed a treatment
that was a slope changer.
256
00:13:20,947 --> 00:13:23,324
So you busted out
the sulphur dioxide stink bomb?
257
00:13:23,449 --> 00:13:24,992
It was a team
building exercise.
258
00:13:25,118 --> 00:13:27,245
No, it was manipulation.
259
00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:29,789
You were pressuring your team into
coming up with unsafe medical ideas
260
00:13:29,914 --> 00:13:31,332
just to get out
of that room.
261
00:13:31,958 --> 00:13:34,502
You say pressure,
I say inspire.
262
00:13:36,003 --> 00:13:39,465
The usual, safe ideas were not going
to work. Aerosolized heparin might.
263
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:41,592
And everyone else just
went along with this?
264
00:13:42,385 --> 00:13:46,889
No. I told House
I thought it was a mistake.
265
00:13:47,014 --> 00:13:48,766
And those were
your exact words?
266
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,936
I think I might
have said "insane."
267
00:13:52,061 --> 00:13:54,272
You thought it was insane
and yet you let it happen.
268
00:13:54,397 --> 00:13:55,481
No, I...
269
00:13:55,606 --> 00:13:57,483
If you disagree with Dr. House
on patient safety, Doctor,
270
00:13:57,608 --> 00:13:58,943
it is your duty
to speak up.
271
00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:00,278
Otherwise,
you're equally to blame.
272
00:14:00,403 --> 00:14:01,446
I did speak up.
I tried.
273
00:14:01,571 --> 00:14:03,489
And you failed.
274
00:14:04,991 --> 00:14:07,869
And that's why I went
to Dr. Foreman.
275
00:14:11,747 --> 00:14:13,416
The heparin could
cause the patient
276
00:14:13,541 --> 00:14:15,835
to bleed into his lungs
even faster.
277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,211
It is crazy.
278
00:14:17,336 --> 00:14:20,256
But House doesn't do crazy
just for crazy's sake.
279
00:14:20,381 --> 00:14:23,885
If he thinks this is the only way
to help the patient...
280
00:14:27,054 --> 00:14:29,974
COFIELD: You did not tell me
you were involved in this case
281
00:14:30,099 --> 00:14:31,434
when you asked me
to do this.
282
00:14:32,518 --> 00:14:34,020
I wasn't.
283
00:14:34,687 --> 00:14:37,940
The heparin decision didn't have
anything to do with the outcome.
284
00:14:38,983 --> 00:14:41,861
If signing off on
everything House does is a pattern,
285
00:14:41,986 --> 00:14:43,488
it affects
the way House behaves,
286
00:14:43,613 --> 00:14:46,657
it affects the way House's team reacts
to the way House behaves.
287
00:14:46,782 --> 00:14:48,201
House
288
00:14:50,161 --> 00:14:51,287
is brilliant.
289
00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:54,999
I give him the benefit of the doubt
most of the time,
290
00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:56,834
because I've seen
what he can do.
291
00:14:56,959 --> 00:14:58,127
Getting House
out of prison
292
00:14:58,252 --> 00:15:02,256
is the biggest decision you've made
as Dean of Medicine, right?
293
00:15:02,381 --> 00:15:04,509
And if he's suspended
as a result of this hearing,
294
00:15:04,634 --> 00:15:07,929
he violates his parole
and he goes back.
295
00:15:08,054 --> 00:15:12,308
And that probably leaves you as former
Dean of Medicine.
296
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:14,477
I suppose so.
297
00:15:16,729 --> 00:15:18,731
You didn't choose me
to oversee this
298
00:15:18,856 --> 00:15:20,816
because you thought
I could be objective,
299
00:15:20,942 --> 00:15:23,736
you chose me because you thought
I'd have your back.
300
00:15:23,861 --> 00:15:27,865
And I'd think twice about making
a decision that would get you fired.
301
00:15:30,743 --> 00:15:32,036
Eric,
302
00:15:33,079 --> 00:15:34,247
I'm sorry.
303
00:15:35,248 --> 00:15:37,083
But if your
get-House-out-of-jail-free
304
00:15:37,208 --> 00:15:40,086
experiment blows up
in your face,
305
00:15:40,211 --> 00:15:42,880
it's not my job to
get you out of it.
306
00:15:51,931 --> 00:15:53,391
After you'd
administered the heparin,
307
00:15:53,516 --> 00:15:55,560
I see there was
a discharge order in the chart.
308
00:15:55,685 --> 00:15:57,395
Yet the patient
never left.
309
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,730
House ordered
a therapeutic bath first,
310
00:15:59,855 --> 00:16:03,234
to wash off any residual chemicals
from the blast
311
00:16:03,526 --> 00:16:05,319
but we wound up
finding something.
312
00:16:05,695 --> 00:16:07,488
JESSICA: You have
a bit of a rash.
313
00:16:07,613 --> 00:16:09,407
Can you raise
both your arms?
314
00:16:09,532 --> 00:16:12,076
We just need to
see how far it goes.
315
00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:16,163
BILL: You told me
I was gonna be okay.
316
00:16:16,289 --> 00:16:19,083
And now there's still
something wrong with me.
317
00:16:19,208 --> 00:16:22,670
It probably doesn't mean anything,
but we want to make sure.
318
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:25,673
Of course you do.
319
00:16:25,798 --> 00:16:28,050
I gotta get out
of here. Okay?
320
00:16:28,175 --> 00:16:29,510
JESSICA:
Just relax.
321
00:16:29,635 --> 00:16:30,720
Please just let me
get out of here.
322
00:16:30,845 --> 00:16:31,929
It'll just
take a minute.
323
00:16:32,054 --> 00:16:33,431
We need to
get a good look at the rash.
324
00:16:33,556 --> 00:16:35,850
The rash?
That was nothing.
325
00:16:35,975 --> 00:16:39,604
Just some irritation
from lying in bed all day.
326
00:16:39,729 --> 00:16:42,273
The problem was
the patient's brain.
327
00:16:42,398 --> 00:16:43,691
He freaked out.
328
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:45,401
I gotta
get out of here.
329
00:16:45,526 --> 00:16:47,570
- I gotta get out of here!
- Easy.
330
00:16:47,695 --> 00:16:49,155
JESSICA: "Freak out" is a little strong.
331
00:16:49,530 --> 00:16:53,409
In my opinion at the time, it was
the rash that was going to kill him.
332
00:16:53,534 --> 00:16:54,660
Invasive strep.
333
00:16:54,785 --> 00:16:56,829
Reasonable theory,
supported by the evidence.
334
00:16:56,954 --> 00:16:59,582
The evidence pointed
to psychosis.
335
00:16:59,707 --> 00:17:02,793
We caused it by giving him steroids
when he first came in.
336
00:17:02,918 --> 00:17:04,503
What'd you think?
337
00:17:04,629 --> 00:17:06,505
I thought Park and Adams
were both right.
338
00:17:06,631 --> 00:17:08,924
But that their conclusions
were both wrong.
339
00:17:09,050 --> 00:17:10,885
The neuro symptoms
and the rash
340
00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:13,471
were both signs of
an underlying disease.
341
00:17:13,596 --> 00:17:17,016
Together with the lung,
it added up to Wegener's.
342
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,230
How does Dr. House handle it
when three smart doctors
343
00:17:23,356 --> 00:17:25,733
come up with three different,
but equally valid ideas?
344
00:17:25,858 --> 00:17:28,027
I run a diagnostic trial.
345
00:17:33,824 --> 00:17:36,160
HOUSE:
Start the patient on high dose steroids.
346
00:17:36,285 --> 00:17:38,621
Multiple birds,
single stone.
347
00:17:39,330 --> 00:17:42,458
If Taub is right,
then he can walk out of here cured.
348
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:44,960
If Adams is right, he will
spike a fever, get hypotensive,
349
00:17:45,086 --> 00:17:48,297
we can treat it
and he can walk out of here cured.
350
00:17:48,422 --> 00:17:51,300
If Park is right and he goes all
Cuckoo's Nest on us,
351
00:17:51,425 --> 00:17:52,885
we can cross
"brain" off the list...
352
00:17:53,010 --> 00:17:55,179
...diagnose him,
and he can walk out of here cured.
353
00:17:55,304 --> 00:17:57,098
Are you trying to
make this easy for me?
354
00:17:57,223 --> 00:17:59,600
By your own admission,
if you give the patient steroids,
355
00:17:59,725 --> 00:18:01,644
two of the three outcomes
could make him worse.
356
00:18:01,769 --> 00:18:04,438
What's making the patient worse
was not having a diagnosis.
357
00:18:04,563 --> 00:18:06,774
This was the fastest way
to get it.
358
00:18:06,899 --> 00:18:09,068
It was the perfect
diagnostic moment.
359
00:18:10,111 --> 00:18:11,570
In light of
what happened,
360
00:18:11,696 --> 00:18:14,699
do you still think it was
the perfect diagnostic moment?
361
00:18:18,077 --> 00:18:19,620
Yes.
362
00:18:20,788 --> 00:18:23,374
My theory accounted for
all the medical outcomes.
363
00:18:27,002 --> 00:18:30,131
It did not account for
the disobedience of my own team.
364
00:18:34,385 --> 00:18:35,845
What are you doing?
365
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:38,013
I think you're right
about the strep.
366
00:18:38,139 --> 00:18:40,599
Can't hurt to biopsy the rash
while we're waiting.
367
00:18:40,725 --> 00:18:42,017
Thanks.
368
00:18:45,187 --> 00:18:48,899
At the time,
it seemed like a good idea.
369
00:18:51,235 --> 00:18:53,320
I know this is hard.
370
00:18:53,446 --> 00:18:57,032
But please tell me
exactly what happened next.
371
00:19:00,202 --> 00:19:02,288

Draw up a little anesthetic.

00:19:03,622 --> 00:19:05,833

So your position is that
your team's disobedience caused this?
380
00:19:32,568 --> 00:19:33,778
That's not what I said.
381
00:19:33,903 --> 00:19:35,362
You said you didn't anticipate
their defiance.
382
00:19:35,488 --> 00:19:38,824
You implied that
all would have been fine otherwise.
383
00:19:38,949 --> 00:19:40,201
So who do you blame?
384
00:19:40,326 --> 00:19:42,369
Dr. Adams or Dr. Chase?
385
00:19:42,495 --> 00:19:43,871
Or both?
386
00:19:46,373 --> 00:19:48,626
I don't blame either one.
387
00:19:49,126 --> 00:19:51,670
So who do you blame,
Dr. House?

- Got it!
- Which artery?
398
00:20:58,863 --> 00:21:00,364
It's his heart.
399
00:21:03,576 --> 00:21:05,995
Fortunately, only the knife tip
reached the cardiac muscle.
400
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,706
Made a laceration
in the left ventricle
401
00:21:08,831 --> 00:21:10,916
about the size of
the tip of my index finger.
402

At that moment,
he could only stay alive
403

as long as my finger
plugged the hole.

00:21:17,006 --> 00:21:18,173
Hmm.
405
00:21:18,299 --> 00:21:19,842
It could've been me
on the floor.
406
00:21:19,967 --> 00:21:21,594
It should have been me.
407
00:21:21,719 --> 00:21:22,803
It was my theory.
408
00:21:22,928 --> 00:21:26,765
I held the needle in front of
the patient that set off his paranoia.
409
00:21:28,142 --> 00:21:31,186
If you're looking
for someone to blame,
410
00:21:31,312 --> 00:21:32,688
blame me.
411
00:21:36,025 --> 00:21:37,568
Please continue.

Got a PVC.

Gotta move it, people.
417
00:21:49,496 --> 00:21:51,415
My diagnostic test worked.
418
00:21:51,540 --> 00:21:54,043
It proved that the patient
had a steroid induced psychosis.
419
00:21:54,168 --> 00:21:55,252
That's what you took away
from this situation?
420
00:21:55,377 --> 00:21:57,796
The brain was not a symptom
of an underlying disease.
421
00:21:57,922 --> 00:21:59,840
Your colleague
was stabbed.

00:21:59,965 --> 00:22:02,343

you didn't care?

I can't take my finger out,
he'll bleed.

00:22:14,605 --> 00:22:16,023
I don't think
he can take it.

What was his heart rate?
440
00:22:43,968 --> 00:22:46,053
He doesn't have one.
He's on bypass.
441
00:22:46,178 --> 00:22:48,097
Not Chase, the patient.
442
00:22:49,473 --> 00:22:51,225
You're DDX'ing?

00:22:52,476 --> 00:22:54,812
Park, come with me.
Taub's got this.
444
00:22:54,937 --> 00:22:58,107
My friend is here
because you didn't listen to me.
445
00:22:58,232 --> 00:23:00,776
I did listen to you.
Chase didn't listen to me.
446
00:23:01,777 --> 00:23:03,696
At this point,
being here makes you feel better,
447
00:23:03,821 --> 00:23:06,073
you're not helping
Chase or our patient.
448
00:23:07,658 --> 00:23:09,284
Fine.
449
00:23:09,910 --> 00:23:11,036
So he just walked out?
450
00:23:11,161 --> 00:23:12,246
There really was
nothing for him to do.
451
00:23:12,371 --> 00:23:15,165
It speaks to a certain callousness
on Dr. House's part, don't you think?
452
00:23:15,290 --> 00:23:16,834
Who cares if
House was callous?
453
00:23:16,959 --> 00:23:18,919
Are you going to
punish callousness?
454
00:23:19,044 --> 00:23:21,922
But you agree that
empathy is a useful quality for doctors?
455
00:23:22,047 --> 00:23:23,132
House is
not the problem.
456
00:23:23,257 --> 00:23:25,134
Your friend got stabbed.
457
00:23:25,259 --> 00:23:27,136
He may die
from those wounds.
458
00:23:27,261 --> 00:23:29,596
If you had been in that room,
maybe that could have been you.
459
00:23:29,722 --> 00:23:32,016
I wouldn't have
been in the room.
460
00:23:32,141 --> 00:23:35,894
Implicitly, you just said
that Chase was at fault.
461
00:23:40,315 --> 00:23:42,234
We all knew
a psychotic episode
462
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,653
was one of the three
possible outcomes.
463
00:23:44,778 --> 00:23:47,531
And Chase brought
a scalpel in there.
464
00:23:47,656 --> 00:23:49,575
He endangered Dr. Adams,
he endangered himself,
465
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:52,327
and he endangered
the patient.
466
00:23:54,246 --> 00:23:55,873

00:25:00,020 --> 00:25:01,105
Go.
469
00:25:08,529 --> 00:25:11,657
It's a hospital. There are lots of
doctors that can take care of him.
470
00:25:11,782 --> 00:25:13,492
And your thinking is
that only you guys
471
00:25:13,617 --> 00:25:16,620
are qualified to sit in this room,
doing nothing?
472
00:25:16,745 --> 00:25:18,163
If you're motivated
by caring,
473
00:25:18,288 --> 00:25:20,249
just bear in mind he's
a dedicated chemistry teacher
474
00:25:20,374 --> 00:25:23,877
with a pretty wife and adoring students
and a baby on the way.
475
00:25:24,002 --> 00:25:25,170
She's not pregnant.
476
00:25:25,295 --> 00:25:28,048
Would it make a difference?
Because I could knock her up.

No.

Well, it's not like
I can get up and run away.

for the last 12 hours

I've been picturing you

Were you angry
with Dr. House?

It was a prank,
it wasn't uncommon.
504
00:27:17,491 --> 00:27:18,659
So I've heard.
505
00:27:18,784 --> 00:27:21,119
That doesn't mean
you couldn't get angry.
506
00:27:21,245 --> 00:27:22,537
Might actually contribute
to that reaction.
507
00:27:22,663 --> 00:27:25,040
Can I ask why
that matters?
508
00:27:26,333 --> 00:27:28,877
Are you trying to prove
that I was distracted,
509
00:27:29,002 --> 00:27:31,296
that my judgment
was compromised?
510
00:27:33,257 --> 00:27:36,260
Who do you think was at fault
for what happened to you, Dr. Chase?
511
00:27:36,385 --> 00:27:39,388
Again,
why does it matter?
512
00:27:39,513 --> 00:27:40,555
You're a smart doctor.
513
00:27:40,681 --> 00:27:42,599
You know what happened here
better than anyone
514
00:27:42,724 --> 00:27:45,310
and you've worked with Dr. House
longer than anyone.
515
00:27:45,435 --> 00:27:48,522
And I suspect
that you've spent
516
00:27:48,647 --> 00:27:50,399
every minute since
this has happened
517
00:27:50,524 --> 00:27:53,151
trying to answer
that very question.
518
00:27:55,070 --> 00:27:57,990
I don't think it
was anyone's fault.
519
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:02,119
I was angry
but I wasn't distracted.
520
00:28:03,578 --> 00:28:06,665
And I think if there's any chance
I'm gonna walk again
521
00:28:06,790 --> 00:28:09,751
it's because
Dr. House is a genius.
522
00:28:10,335 --> 00:28:13,046
What about warmth?
Can you feel the sheets on your skin?
523
00:28:13,171 --> 00:28:16,008
I just said
I don't feel anything.
524
00:28:16,133 --> 00:28:17,843
Objectivity, House.
525
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:27,269
What about
posttraumatic syringomyelia?
526
00:28:27,394 --> 00:28:30,022
A syrinx fanned in
the subarachnoid space,
527
00:28:30,147 --> 00:28:32,190
blocking the flow of
cerebrospinal fluid.
528
00:28:32,316 --> 00:28:34,276
That'd mean
the damage was permanent.
529
00:28:36,653 --> 00:28:37,946
No.
530
00:28:38,071 --> 00:28:39,364
Forget the nerves.
531
00:28:39,489 --> 00:28:41,283
House, if it's total paralysis
he must have...
532
00:28:41,408 --> 00:28:42,701
Not necessarily.
533
00:28:42,826 --> 00:28:44,036
Think arteries.
534
00:28:44,161 --> 00:28:46,330
Blood flow to his spinal column
is cut off.
535
00:28:46,455 --> 00:28:47,956
It's a clot in
the radicular artery.
536
00:28:48,081 --> 00:28:49,875
That could be fixable.
537
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,626
Prep a room
for an embolectomy
538
00:28:51,752 --> 00:28:54,046
and let's get that thing out of there
before it does any more damage.
539
00:28:54,171 --> 00:28:55,339
And if it's not a clot?
540
00:28:55,464 --> 00:28:59,509
Then you can ask Foreman
if hospital insurance covers ramp-vans.
541
00:29:01,803 --> 00:29:03,722
You're through
the aorta.
542
00:29:03,847 --> 00:29:05,182
CHASE:
There.
543
00:29:05,307 --> 00:29:08,435
Sensory level is at L5,
it must be the descending branch.
544
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,978
Can I see the monitor?
545
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,439
Stop there.
Shoot the dye.
546
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:18,737
There it is.
TAUB: Don't get too excited.
547
00:29:18,862 --> 00:29:22,366
We still gotta get it out, still
could have done permanent damage.
548
00:29:26,411 --> 00:29:29,414
Patient does not have
autonomic dysregulation.
549

There's blood in his urine bag.
Kidneys are failing.
550
00:29:31,458 --> 00:29:33,168
- House, not now.
- Gotta be now.

there's a bed available.
553
00:29:36,922 --> 00:29:41,093
Says the doctors here can no longer
be objective since the stabbing.
554
00:29:41,927 --> 00:29:46,306
In the middle of a procedure
that could basically save your life,
555
00:29:46,431 --> 00:29:49,810
House is actually trying
to drag people away?
556
00:29:50,602 --> 00:29:51,978
How do you work
with a guy like that?
557
00:29:52,104 --> 00:29:54,481
He wasn't trying to
pull anybody away.
558
00:29:54,606 --> 00:29:56,900
Everyone had already refused
to work on that case.
559
00:29:57,025 --> 00:29:58,151
He knew the answer.
560
00:29:59,653 --> 00:30:03,323
He wanted to check on me.
But he needed an excuse.
561
00:30:04,282 --> 00:30:07,244
Otherwise he could
be accused of caring.
562
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:11,415
So your testimony is that
563
00:30:11,540 --> 00:30:14,459
Dr. House's
complete lack of concern
564
00:30:14,584 --> 00:30:16,420
is evidence of
his deep concern?
565
00:30:24,803 --> 00:30:26,680
Did you just do that?
566
00:30:28,223 --> 00:30:29,391

Congratulations.
570
00:30:54,916 --> 00:30:56,501
It was the clot.

Short occlusion time
of the artery,

when the swelling
goes down,
573
00:31:01,715 --> 00:31:05,010
you should gain back
at least some of the function.
574
00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:14,269
One more thing. Sorry.
575
00:31:15,187 --> 00:31:18,773
You knew that your patient
was at risk for a psychotic break
576
00:31:18,899 --> 00:31:22,235
when you brought
a scalpel within his reach.
577
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,821
Why did you ignore that risk?
578
00:31:27,449 --> 00:31:30,327
I thought I was right
about the rash.
579
00:31:31,578 --> 00:31:33,038
I would do it again.
580
00:31:37,626 --> 00:31:39,419
I thought so.
581
00:31:40,670 --> 00:31:42,839
That's it?
"I thought so"?

does that mean?

You brazenly
defied your boss.
584
00:31:52,432 --> 00:31:55,685
Now that happened
either because Dr. House
585
00:31:55,810 --> 00:31:59,189
has established that
that's okay in his world.
586

Or his prank war
distracted you.
587

Or House makes
medicine a game
588

and you just wanted
to beat him.
589
00:32:07,364 --> 00:32:08,907
Whatever the reason,
590
00:32:09,032 --> 00:32:12,869
it boils down to the fact
that you may never walk again
591
00:32:12,994 --> 00:32:17,958
because House created an atmosphere
that promotes recklessness.

came in just in time to
sob all over your soft, mushy heart,
699
00:40:42,962 --> 00:40:45,006
and the fact
that her husband is going to live,
700
00:40:45,131 --> 00:40:47,800
does not change
whether or not I did the right thing.

(EXHALES)
703
00:41:22,794 --> 00:41:25,129
How'd you get the firing wire
into the Vicodin bottle
704
00:41:25,254 --> 00:41:27,340
without me noticing?
705
00:41:29,342 --> 00:41:31,219
Why'd I even have to?
706
00:41:32,011 --> 00:41:34,430
What was the point
of the orange hair?
707
00:41:35,348 --> 00:41:36,891
Your hair smelled
like Adams'.
708
00:41:37,225 --> 00:41:39,852
Since there's no way you're doing her
without me knowing,
709
00:41:39,977 --> 00:41:41,729
it means you were
just doing her shampoo.
710
00:41:41,979 --> 00:41:45,024
Which means you were out late
drinking with some new girl
711
00:41:45,149 --> 00:41:47,485
or because there is
no new girl.
712
00:41:47,610 --> 00:41:49,695
You were trying to make up time
by showering at the hospital,
713
00:41:49,821 --> 00:41:52,323
but you were too lazy
to buy your own shampoo.
714
00:41:52,448 --> 00:41:55,159
So I found a way
to let you know to not be late.
715
00:41:55,284 --> 00:41:57,161
You couldn't just ask me
to stop being late?
716
00:41:57,286 --> 00:41:59,288
What fun would that be?
717
00:42:01,499 --> 00:42:03,709
None of this is fun, House.

(GRUNTS)
719
00:42:14,011 --> 00:42:17,849
They decided that
your being stabbed
720
00:42:19,684 --> 00:42:21,310
was nobody's fault.
721
00:42:32,321 --> 00:42:34,031
They're wrong.
722
00:42:36,701 --> 00:42:38,244
I'm sorry.
723
00:42:43,374 --> 00:42:45,084
Anything else?
724
00:42:45,668 --> 00:42:47,503
I'm kind of busy.
725
00:42:56,095 --> 00:42:58,097
No. That was it.
726
00:43:01,434 --> 00:43:03,477
I've got it.
