I remember being tested for HIV as a young child after science realized it could be passed through blood transfusion. I had surgery for a birth defect at 24 hours old and required a transfusion. I don't remember being scared probably because I didn't really understand. I was negative and where my mom worked went on to be one of many medical research teams throughout the world that eventually found the combination of medicine that keeps HIV from turning into AIDS

[@MemekingJag]

That's amazing, she sounds like a driven woman. It's also one of the diseases that, out of nowhere, went from a death sentence to, if not curable, absolutely manageable with the work of scientists like your mother, within just a few decades of it appearing.

[@MountainPearls]

I had one in the ones too after receiving g blood (just after or around when that young boy with hemophilia died from AIDS because of a transfusion. He was the one that shared his story with the world before he died, and eventually got the government to start testing all donated blood for it (and other diseases). I remember hearing his funeral was televised ( I was too young to watch/I imagine mu parents didn’t want me to…but remember Michael Jackson performed at his funeral etc. I believe it was one of the first funerals Westboro Baptist also protested it. If it want his it was a child. With a similar story and a similar church). I didn’t realize either, I was told it was a “checkup” …but it both scared, and scarred, the hell out of my parents (and those tests took several weeks to run back then-you don’t get the result in a day…neither slept very much. I remember my grandmother sending them a new coffee maker and had several cousins and relatives that nuts “happened to visit”). As an adult, I cannot even imagine how stressful that must have been. To mark matters worse, I caught mono at the time and was sick/l very sick/ had a rash (both early symptoms of full blown AIDS).

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Oh my, I can't even imagine how utterly terrified your parents had to have been. And I can't imagine how monumental their relief must have been when the test results finally came back (that early on it would not have been a fast test). I was a kid in the 80s, when people didn't know anything about it. Didn't know how it spread, only that it was a death sentence. And back then, everything was so much slower. You think the rumors and disinformation is bad now, back then it was literally all there was even if you were somehow following the journals and reading the latest research. I absolutely love the time I grew up in, to be able to watch the development of things to the point where now, I had been following a podcast called This Week In Virology since around 2009 and I knew from them that a new and deadly coronavirus was coming by the end of January 2020, months before the first case even hit US shores. Sure rumors and misinfo spreads faster, but the people actually working on things and pursuing the science are able to communicate instantly, and openly, so the only real limit is if you are curious enough and know to pursue primary sources - something that wasn't even remotely possible back then.

You are right, but also wrong and misleading. Toxoplasmosis is the name of the disease, which is caused by the species Toxoplasma gondii. Indeed, this species is not a fungus, but an apicomplexan protozoan (of the Phylum Apicomplexa). But it is a parasite, and there are many parasitic fungi species too.

I've always enjoyed Dr. House and it's nice to see the show's clips still so popular. I never saw this episode, and I don't know enough about medicine to comment on whether any of Dr. House's other episodes are realistic but I can say with complete certainty that this episode is total nonsense. You can have the parasite in your brain without having AIDS. My daughter was born an undiagnosed toxo baby. After her 2nd birthday, when her symptoms kicked in, the doctors surmised that her mom got infected by gardening in infected soil without gloves (she must have had a small unnoticed cut). We had recently moved to a tropical country in Central America four months before our daughter was conceived. We had no pets, just two friends who owned only dogs, and with our business just starting up, we weren’t dining out. The funny thing is, if we had waited 12 months after the infection before conceiving our daughter, she would have been fine. Of course, there was no way to know about the infection as it has no symptoms for healthy people. It affects babies differently from adults owing to their underdeveloped immune system. The brain deals with it, without drugs, by encasing the parasite in calcium. You get these tiny calcified balls which irritate the surrounding tissue and sometimes enough to cause regular seizures later in life. The seizures can be reduced to irregular bouts by taking anti-seizure meds like Trileptal or more often with two types of anti-seizure meds taken 2 to 3 times daily. Untreated, the child develops hydrocephalus as the cerebrospinal fluid cannot drain owing to the calcium build-up also blocking certain ventricles. The cure, for that particular issue, is to place a shunt inside the skull and run a tube under the scalp down the neck, chest and into the stomach. The parasite can also destroy the retina. Fortunately, my daughter only lost sight in one eye.

[@embargovenom9948]

Yes, BABIES can have toxo in the brain without having AIDS. That's why pregnant women are testes to thoroughly for toxo. However, you might notice the senator was not a baby, hence the immediatey assumption that he had AIDS. = P

How does the episode end

[@turtels6764]

When I was a kid, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. The nurse hit my knee 11 times and I had no reaction. On the twelfth I faked it.... I'm ok, I think? LOL

Remember this guy was in Terminator 2?

[@theMG174]

Hey that’s the guy from the Terminator!

But toxoplasmosis is not caused by a fungus. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoa

I love you Lord. May God bless the reader.

I like senator’s perspective on life but I’ve become more like house: assuming people are bad and on occasion I’m proven😊 wrong

[@mareenelu9554]

Toxoplasmosis is NOT a fungi. It is a parasite. Wow,…. I am quite disappointed in this episode.

[@seanwebb605]

Parasite doesn't tell us if it if a fungi, virus or bacteria.

[@ded-inside5904]

"Toxoplasmosis is a fairly common fungus", hate to be that guy, but: 1) Toxoplasmosis is the name of the disease, not the organism that causes it; 2) 'Toxoplasma gondii', the causer of toxoplasmosis, is a protozoan, not a fungus; 3) You can't be infected by just "touching cat feces", you need to ingest the parasites cysts that are present in said feces; 4) I was lying when I said I "hate to be that guy", as I've spent the last 2 minutes writing this comment for a brief sense of superiority over a medical shows writers.

[@mikeyh0]

And I want to thank you for reminding me not to eat cat feces.

[@codeelkins]

Why does this episode seem like it has more medical mistakes than usual? For one, the knee jerk reflex is a somatic reflex which bypasses the brain entirely. So a failure to respond to that test does not indicate a brain issue. Second, toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan parasite (toxoplasma gondii), not a fungus.

This channel has posted about this black politician a few times, but it's always the same scenes. How does this episode end?

[@drdavidtee]

the whol;e first year with vogle was dumb

[@CG87343]

Not gonna lie, really hated the Vogler arc. The episodes themselves might’ve been good but I didn’t like the Vogler character.

[@condor2279]

Yeah I preferred Tritter as a villain.

[@seanwebb605]

Oh yeah. I understand what they were trying to do and the ideas they were trying to bring forward. The Vogler was a bad villain. And the actor didn't even play him well. Even those who didn't care for house but headed other departments would have raised hell professionally and voiced their concerns publicly.

[@christopher100]

8:19 Apparently we've already had one!

[@DanaTheInsane]

"They don't call it the White house because of the paint job". He missed that call.

[@JamesRadnus]

Didnt Miles Bennett Dyson blow himself up?

[@kleetus92]

Oddly nailed the gay black president part... what year was this episode aired originally?

[@jodo2785]

Obama isnt gay tho

[@bbenjoe]

Hey, that's aint the guy who invented Skynet?
