[@TheNickmeister5]

I am a trained clinical ethicist and the last scene, the one with the two children dying from the same infection and the antibiotics causing the renal failure, actually has some validity to it. Random chance is the most unbiased way of handling these situations. Foreman has a point about a duty to both children... but keeping them on the current treatment course would result in the death of both children while POTENTIALLY saving one by stopping one on each. Very tricky indeed.

[@DarkenMidnacrystal]

it's in line of morally it's incorrect but this information is going to be a sacrifice and worth the pay off.

[@diamondmx3076]

Sure, but if you put both patients on either one of the antibiotics, you actually get the same information without the ethical dilemma. If neither gets better, then you guessed wrong, if both do, you guessed right. Either way you give all future patients the drug that works. Now, if you had two patients and three possible infections - then the split trial would make sense, you don't want both to die and still not know which of the remaining drugs is correct - but I believe they were dealing with exactly 2 possible infections here, so they changed it from being 50/50 for both to live or die, to guaranteeing one would die and one would live, and creating a massive ethical problem in that they knew they were killing one child, just not which.

[@dabrownone]

Trolly problem

[@PokeMageTech]

@@diamondmx3076 No. Because there’s still random chance. Both COULD die despite receiving the CORRECT treatment, and if it were anybody with an immune system, one or both COULD survive despite receiving the WRONG treatment. If you do what house did, there are four results (death vs recovery times two patients) Both survive despite receiving different treatment - so unlikely it would qualify as a miracle. Speed might tell us something. Baby 1 dies and baby 2 lives, or the other way around: you can conclude that the survivor got the correct treatment and apply that to the new cases, the ones currently incubating. Both die - not the most likely outcome, but entirely possible. Doesn’t directly tell you correct treatment, but if they both declined, but one much slower than the other, you can guess that baby received the correct treatment. Furthermore, if we simplify the problem such that P(death|wrong) ≈ 1 and round P(death|correct) to 0 (though it could actually be 0.25 or something, but this makes it easier without changing which option is better). If you randomly take them both off 1 treatment, with equal odds, you have a 50% treatment of it being correct. If correct, both live; if wrong, both die. So the expected number of dead infants is the weighted average (in this case, equal to the regular average), 1. However, you can expect to end up with either 0 or 2 dead infants. If you give different treatments, then you can expect exactly 1 dead infant. So in the simplest version, it doesn’t matter, unless you prefer maximizing the odds of at least one surviving. However, there’s a small chance of death even with correct treatment, and furthermore, with different treatments, if one starts to get better while the other continues to decline, you can try to update treatment before death. PS: I’m studying both Computer Science and Mathematics, and am taking an AI course this semester, which goes into probability, so that’s fresh on my mind.

[@jadecoolness101]

@@diamondmx3076 It's basically the difference between a 50/50 chance of saving or kiIIng both kids, vs a 100% chance of saving one and kiIIng the other. Well, technically it's not 100% but you get the point.

[@kjpierson1152]

"you're condemning one of these kids to die".... Apparently, Foreman missed the day in med school where they learned about triage.

Personally I'm with House on that one. Either way they're condemning at least one of the kids by random chance, since they don't know and have no way to find out which treatment should work.

[@williamkang6789]

For those who are afraid of being kidnapped by House just so he can treat your medical issues, be not afraid. Any reasonable medical board would have invalidated his license for his less-than-medically-ethical shenanigans years ago. There are definitely many doctors who share House’s zeal for helping patients (if not his sociopathy), but most doctors in the real world will draw the line at forcing patients to accept treatment. It may seem self-evident in this day and age, but there was a time not so long ago when the idea of letting patients decide their own healthcare was unusual. This can be explained in large part by a paradigm shift in the way doctors were trained to view their patients. Up until the mid-20th century, most physicians practiced what is now called “medical paternalism,” which is characterized by the doctor acting as a surrogate parent who coddles, cajoles, and directs the patient to accepting treatment, regardless of what the patient personally desires. That perspective has been largely supplanted by the concept of autonomy, wherein patients are expected to direct their own treatment under the professional guidance and counsel of their physician.

This is pretty obvious. House M.D is a TV show where things go differently from our boring reality. It's a show with larger-than-life characters, and as a result, they're capable of doing things the average boring person wouldn't get away with.

[@JJONNYREPP]

@@cooldud7071 Comments on ‘11 Minutes of House Having ZERO Ethics | House M.D.’ the word: boring is key, here. most people are boring infused with it, with boring attributes... and yet they are applauded from pillar to post. the people of this region are all would-be gestapo agents intent on watching the ne'er do-well and reporting back... that's very boring. i should think spies are the most boring people on earth. what say you.... as for being "larger than life"... ummmm, i should imagine even that's boring. as is prowling round the home which is what someone is doing right now. maybe sell tickets and have them come and have a gawp round the home... "hello, mr spy, he'll say.... come on in take the tit of your head and have a wander..." though i do say the title of the most boring person on earth was a mr reggie skidmark of east ham who was liable to pour protein plus down the sink and into the water supply. which might have been a decent scenario for house. i never saw the sit-com house. it seemed like a realllly booooring show. and it was featured on sky tv... here's an interesting fact: when sky tv first began... all those council homes one used to rent had it piped in for free!! sky 1 was a free to air channel all those years ago. people like me, boring dole dossers, got to see the very first episodes of the simpsons - for free!!!! and that ghastly talent show which featured the amazing and not boring at all - which should excuse him from this chat: charlie chuck. who later went on to critical acclaim on vic and bob show.... along with his drum kit and plank. though granted those days were odd and even boring peole got laid, then. which lessened the need for drugs. cos it's a fact that boring people take drugs. a lot!!!! i'd go outside and check that yer underwear is still on the clothes horse...

[@emmashuffle6457]

Yes let’s go with the word “unethical”… 😂😂 Atleast that’s what a criminal defense lawyer would like to call it haha

[@okopnik]

The episode with the antibiotics was one of the most poorly thought-out "dilemmas" in this show. It wouldn't be a "therapeutic trial", and House wouldn't be "condemning them" - they're dying, no action means both die, and what remains is a choice between both of them dying while providing no info to save the others OR one of them dying - assuming they can't be saved in time - and providing that life-saving info. The only possible ethical decision is the choice that House made, and having all his juniors freak out about it was totally artificial: they're all doctors, and they all understand the utility of the least-bad solution vs. unachievable "perfection".

[@blindfire3167]

It's still pretty unethical, but understandable to get the best outcome of the situation. Leaving it up to random chance on which baby will live and which baby will likely die isn't exactly going to warm the parent's hearts knowing their death wasn't in vein, it's still killing a random child at chance for a POTENTIAL cure.

Sometimes, there are no _good_ options. Just the one that's the least bad.

[@ljmzdev]

@@blindfire3167 you clearly don´t know what triage means then.

[@blindfire3167]

@Luis Jiménez I mean I do, but it's still illegal/unethical to keep that info from the patients and just have it decided by random chance rather than it be given the opportunity to be volunteered...which I get the parents would probably never do, or at least take too long, but the option should be given rather than just at random killing a baby

[@FS4SS]

@@blindfire3167 They explain it to the families in the episode, I just happened to be rewatching that season recently. They would of course do that in a real hospital as well, although this hypothetical case is naturally going to be extremely rare in the real world --> no time to test multiple medications, multiple different patients infected with the same thing, at the same time, and that thing is totally unknown, but somehow we do know it will lead to death, and there are only a few possible medications that could work.

[@dwaynemauk566]

One of the things that fascinates me about House, is that he was generally right because he would cut to the chase. People around him (and those watching the show) accuse him of being egotistical, unethical, meanspirited, etc. But it was because he would get right to the source of the problem, rather than prolonging the trip. Watching the relief of those who were helped by him because he'd get right to the root of the problem, was always enjoyable. My grandfather, could sometimes be like House (not unethically, but by being sharp with his tongue) but when I stopped spending time nursing my self-inflicted wounds caused by talking instead of listening to him, he was one of the smartest guys I know. Not proud, not egotistical, but extremely smart, who had a hard time dealing with "stupid". And most of the time, I as a grandkid, would show my stupidity by running off at the mouth, instead of living by the adage of "shut mouth, open ears". But once learned, became a valuable lesson in life.

[@KatherineXIX]

Even a ten-second glance into his personal life would reveal he is extremely egotistical, unethical, and mean-spirited.

[@dwaynemauk566]

@@KatherineXIX Again, most people assume that because they are looking through their own glasses and make assumptions. People who are egotistical, unethical, mean-spirited, don't work hard to save people's lives and make their lives better. Instead, they spend their time tearing down others, and destroying others, in order to make themselves look good. I'd actually find the rest of the staff, "mean-spirited" as you state, because their too busy covering their behinds from getting possibly sued, and there were numerous times that House actually stepped in and saved the person's life while the rest of the staff were too busy trying to save their own.

[@okopnik]

@@KatherineXIX If I'm dying, and no one else can figure it out, I'll take all his egotism and LIFE instead of sweet, comforting nothings coupled with death. Every single time. So would anyone else who is sane.

[@KatherineXIX]

@@okopnik not arguing that, and so would I. But I sure as hell wouldn't want to be his friend.

[@okopnik]

@@KatherineXIX I can't think of anyone - other than a masochist like Wilson - who would. But one of the key premises of the show is that what is valued in *professional* competence can be in direct conflict with social skills; in fact, House's story about the old man in the Japanese hospital makes it explicit, as well as underscoring the fact that House *knows* his behavior is socially unacceptable. But note how much people love this show, years after it ended. Sure, there was good writing and character development in it - but there are a lot of shows like that these days, and few of them get this level of fandom. People love and respect the archetype: the man follows his own path at all costs and *wins* in spite of everything including social convention. That's the core, the common thread of the entire story arc. Everyone would prefer to have a world with House in it rather than one without.

11 minutes of many reasons why House was and is the best series EVER. And why Hugh Laurie's House is the most brilliant character EVER.

[@Liquid-Dragon]

Being asked “so you are doing this off of basic chance” is exactly what they all were about to do. With House’s method at least some answers will be answered. The old psychology broken speeding train scenario

[@scarygary5678]

That last one hits different.

[@markrichards9646]

That first scene always makes me cry with joy for the vet that House rescued from 35 years of pain. When I saw the episode where House drugged Wilson with speed had me wishing you had included the scene of House having dinner with Cuddy, her mom and Wilson. After this clip ended, I tried to stop play but tapped am on screen link and guess what short popped up. 😂

[@TommyBo42]

Ya know tho... to be fair... House just wanted to return Cuddy's brush. It's not his fault that she did not have handicapped accessible parking at her house.

[@andyweis5194]

At 10:11 VERY cool to see the vintage Chick Webb poster ad from one of his Savoy Ballroom concerts. Just another reason House was so hip.

[@Acklon]

With the Antibiotic clip. Both kids are currently condemned to die, taking them both off of the same one condemns both to die OR saves both (0% success or 100% success). Keeping 1 on A and 1 on B makes it so, assuming its just one of the two antibiotics, no matter what, 1 will survive. Taking them both off of the same one has the same condemnation, but for potentially 2 people rather than 1. Obviously still, an ethical nightmare.

I'm probably late but maybe there should be a compilation of the most dangerous House moments where people were in serious risk of dying, like that episode where the crazy guy held all the doctors/patient in Cuddy's/Houses office because they didn't help him.

[@anemptybowl5844]

that last clip when he decided to kill one of the kids, the drama of that moment is now kind of funny to me because this was one of the first episodes of the show so this was like crazy unethical...fast forward a few seasons and this scene would be just a shrug, a smirk, and a quip with a few disgruntled employees

[@neilpemberton5523]

House's line about the janitor being a blabbermouth makes me laugh out loud every time.

[@quigglebert]

The final scene wasn't really unethical, given the circumstances. Both babies were dead either way, and it was likely there would have been many more, it gives both babies the best chance of survival while the results are blind, while we know the ending, it's not hard to imagine in other circumstances you could swap the meds of the wrong baby and save them if it isn't too late (which it was, but I digress)
