Donating bone marrow is one of the most painful things a person can endure, which is why it's done under sedation. More than likely the little brother would've passed out from the pain alone (still possible even though it's not shown). This is by far one of the best episodes of the series. The parents reactions were realistic and well acted, but more so than anything the two brothers. There's a special bond growing up with a brother, and I think that anyone who has a good relationship with their sibling would've done the same, I know I would for my brother.

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

I know this ks a TV show, but technically the second bone marrow draw Forman did was illegal. Nick was fully lucid and he withdrew his consent after the first bone marrow draw. When that happens, unless the procedure is being done for the patient's benefit and stopping would do more harm to that patient, Dr Foreman was legally required to stop and yet he did not. Yes, prosecutorial discretion is a thing, and no prosecutor would likely charge Foreman criminaly, but Nick himself could sue (for the trauma caused by the 2nd draw) after he turns 18 and Forman would certainly be facing a disciplinary hearing for continuing a medical procedure (that gave no benefit to the patient) without the patient's consent.

[@stephaniewayman6850]

I remember this episode when it first aired. It was so hard to watch. Also, another reason people dont get swdated for bone marrow extraction is that it contaminates the marrow.

[@viquezug3936]

parrotprodigy productions It just means that the recipient of your bone marrow could afford to get contaminated with sedative, but that in other cases the recipient can’t.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Sedation contaminates the marrow? Dude... nope.

[@martakaminska6061]

Bone marrow transplants are rarely done directly nowadays. Most of them are about promoting the release of progenitor cells into the blood stream and then extraction of those cells from the blood. This does not need any pain medication, because it is basically a blood draw. However, when performing a bone marrow biopsy, they have to harvest the cells directly from the bone. That is painful. That is done under at least local anastesia, if not full sedation. Biopsy is not used for transplantation. It is a method of diagnosis. There is nothing contaminating about sedation though. Bone marrow is transplated in low volume, the amount of sedative transferred would be small, and moreover the kidneys and liver of the recipient have to work and remove/inactivate the sedative - otherwise the procedure will not be performed, because it would mean multiple organ failure is occurring and bone marrow is one of the many problems. Unless the dose of sedative used on the donor is not magically several times higher than the recipient would tolerate, it is better to avoid inflicting unnecessary pain.

[@breonawarren1507]

That’s not true. People get sedated all the time. There is a risk of infection both ways regardless if they are sedated or not.

[@AS-yz2iz]

@@martakaminska6061 I'm not sire if you're a doctor or not, but my son had leukemia a few years ago, and they most definitely do still do plenty of transplants.

[@YamiandHikariYuki]

I have to say, as a nurse, they might have been able to give one brother a spinal anesthesia and get the bone marrow that way. He'd go under but it would be better for pain control and easier to recover from. The biggest issue here is the ethics because a child may understand what is going on, but the pain that he'd go through for the bone marrow extraction is mentally scarring, especially on a young mind. The fact that Foreman didn't stop when the son said to is very disturbing, especially when bone marrow could be turned into stem cells, be fed into multiplying, and there would be more bone marrow there.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Spinal wouldn't cover the sternal marrow aspiration.

1. On the topic of the 1st bone marrow draw. Nick did consent to the first bone marrow draw. Dr Forman was legally in the clear for that. He might still face a disciplinary hearing though and his medical license might be temporarily suspended, but then, after a short break, he would then be allowed to resume practicing medicine. 2. On the topic of the 2nd bone marrow draw. Nick, who was fully lucid, withdrew his consent before Forman started the 2nd draw, but Forman proceeded with the 2nd bone marrow draw anyway. There was no consent from Nick, there was no benefit to Nick (only to his brother) and stopping the procedure would have done no harm to Nick (Doctors, in some cases, are allowed to continue a procedure after starting if stopping mid way through would cause more harm to the patient undergoing the procedure). In this case, what Foreman did was legally "aggravated battery with a deadly weapon", a felony in most states. Any valid defenses (eg self defense, consent, etc) to this charge are absent. Also, performing a medical procedure without the consent of a patient from which the patient gains no benefit would be a clear violation of Foreman's oath to do no harm and would likely result in Foreman receiving, at minimum, a long suspension from practicing medicine or an outright revocation of his medical license. He could possibly (depending on what the States/District attorney who gets assigned his case decides to do) even face multiple years in prison because what he did, once again, was legally "aggravated battery", a serious felony.

i know all this isnt realistic per se but damn i respect doctors for how hard they have to work and how they need to keep it cool when its actually impossible to keep your mental health stable in certain situations.

[@zoesherwin]

Unconditional love and support That’s really all I see in those boys

[@jacksonrice6047]

5:10 I cried nope nope nope I cried

[@niceboi6364]

That scene of Foreman extracting the bone marrow is the reason why many considered he'd be House's successor. Man, what a gruesome scene that was.

[@fenrirswolh3]

The amount of pain that poor boy was in absolutely broke me. I couldn't stop crying the moment I saw him and felt absolutely crushed for his Parents. That's excellent writing and acting here!

[@Chickenbone263]

Damn I forgot how heartbreaking this episode was

[@jelfishery]

“I’m gonna do it for Maddie... I’m gonna do it for you guys... so you don’t have to be alone.” Easily one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard watching a show

[@karanrawat19]

Such good actors

[@Grace-hu2jn]

OMG IS THE MUM ADINA PORTER (she’s the actress of my favourite character in this awesome show called The 100)?

[@vianjelos]

I was trying to figure out why I knew here...Shes Indra!

[@hectorricardodelacruzmonte2566]

04:05 even throught his pain, his determination to save his brother is stronger

[@VotEtoPizdets]

This show really has a way of hitting me right in the feels.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Note to self: don't watch this in public 😢

[@salimulfikri9653]

7:52 - 7:55 turn on captions to hear some music

[@kuzrahfan2004]

Beautiful

[@LongshoreMeat9]

1:23 “my nigga’s a fighter”

[@3kylajsmith]

My Nick is a fighter, the kids name is nick, but that is what it sounded like.

[@mayeezy254]

the moral dilemmas in this show was something else, and House always went with the pragmatic choice

[@Hawkwing4567]

Wow...who's to say that Foreman lucked out on solving the riddle on what Matty had. If Wilson didn't spring up the word "suburbs" with Foreman saying "water pump", then they would have been going around in circles trying to solve the case. The fact that both clues didn't make sense together was probably a perfect example of subliming a breakthrough that didn't require House to have the answer for them. Poor Foreman must have been scarred for life for what he did, considering that it almost cost not one, but possibly two deaths in the midst of it all. It's probably fortunate that both of them survived because of him. Hard to believe that this diagnosis was set by what used to be a home that was originally a farm. What a confusing plot this turned out to be.

[@kekkic]

very moving episode, I cried when the parents were talking to their son who was dying of leukemia.

[@tankmaster1018]

The father in this episode is the best actor the show has ever seen besides Hugh Laurie... I will never forget this episode or his acting for the rest of my life it was so powerful

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

There were many great actors on this show.

[@ItAllFadestoBlack]

This family were some great actors. Especially the parents. Everyone did really well!

[@davel1722]

This show amazing. The actors did such a amazing job acting and the makeup too

[@jasperhighwind6119]

Outstanding acting from the parents; had me crying. And watching the kids had me sayin, "Poor babies." That hurt to watch, but I'm glad it ended well. Would have liked to see the family all together at the end for a better resolution.

[@LoriWolfcat]

I don’t get it. The son was still sick, but Foreman got the marrow when Cuddy said that the son didn’t have enough left when apparently he did.

[@akkiko]

"He doesn't have enough left to SAFELY take." Foreman did a big bad. :B

[@yoholup19]

It was a necessary risk if he hadn't both kids would've died

[@Jimmy-sb6zv]

He was too sick to be sedated so he had to do it with him awake

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

​​​@@akkiko​​ Yes this is true. It is a TV show. But if this had been real life Dr Foreman would have, for the 2nd nonconsensual bone marrow draw, lost his medical license and stood a decent chance at spending at least a few years in prison for "agravated battery: deadly weapon" Fl Statutes 784.045(1)(a)(2).

[@Mister_Burner]

He need some milk

[@primarilyblu6686]

That weird realization when you realize they act this intensely without the background music we know and love. Actors are a new breed, without that music I’d be laughing every 5 minutes

[@brittanyklocke5517]

You could see the horror in his face when he was tightening those restraints. Holy cow ouchhhhh

[@TrillBill]

7:14 I choose death for 400 please, Alex.

[@BST-ri6gf]

*A Brother’s Sacrifice* “Kill it.”

[@jamesprice2163]

This hits hard cause if I was in this situation even if I was perfectly healthy I'd give up my life to save my brother

[@JakeRoss827]

When he said “time for me to go dad”, I felt that

[@musical_lolu4811]

I was just revising some hematology, about hemopoiesis and the leukemias/lymohomas, and this suddenly comes up on my recommended. Stalker much, KZbin?

[@varen5111]

"My Nick is a fighter". That got me feeling something.

[@danware8141]

Damn, where did they almost always find such good actors? Those parents were so f**king real.

[@localfailure5124]

Not fake

[@somerandompheasant9200]

This was actually sad I was almost about to cry

[@willhull1084]

Wow this was house as a TV series in a nutshell it was spellbounding, emotional and the acting was flawless

[@ralphralpherson9441]

The father saying "No... please son" should have won an academy award. Whoever played the kids' dad was a really good actor.

[@aname5078]

Damn, the father is really good actor.

[@jothesharkrider]

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how we have a vulnerable moment for a man, and a black man at that. Representation is so important!

[@sixbones.infamy9107]

i gotta stop watching hospital and police dramas cuz i hate seeing kids going through pain, instant tears, everytime...

[@yowtubzpat4670]

That kid was still so polite even under all that pain

[@dbonifant587]

One of two scenes in the series I mute when watching. The other is when House does the leg amputation without sedation under the collapsed building.

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

What House did was completely legal. What Foreman did was not. 1) Dr House got the consent of the patient AND she never withdrew it during the amputation. ALSO even if she had withdrawn consent midway through the amputation House may have had the defense of necessity to save her life because the amputation was done to save the life of the patient (not for the benefit of another person) and stopping the amputation midway through would cause even more harm to her. 2) Dr Foreman was performing a medical procedure on a patient that was NOT for the benefit of the patient himself, BUT RATHER the patient's brother. He seemingly got the consent of the child patient and the parents and, because the procedure was not for the child's benefit, he did in fact need both parents and child to consent. HOWEVER, the child, who was fully lucid, withdrew his consent after the 1st bone marrow draw, but Foreman did the 2nd bone marrow draw anyway WITHOUT the patient's consent. THIS is point where Foreman broke BOTH the law AND his oath to do no harm. There was no valid consent. There was no valid claim of necessity (eg the patient would be harmed by the doctor stopping after starting). There was certainly no valid self defense claim. In Real life had a Doctor done what foreman did they would have been subject to a disciplinary hearing and would have likely had their medical license revoked. It is also legally possible the doctor would serve multiple years in prison for agravated battery: deadly weapon [Fl Statutes 784.045(1)(a)(2)].

[@swayamprakash5399]

Why is Nick body looking like someone sprinkled powder on him

[@cedkira]

Skin cells dying due to his cancer?

[@victoriaharris3113]

Leukemia=liver destroyed=pale yellow skin

[@samh.264]

Cause it's a TV show, and they probably did?

[@full-timeanimeman4341]

Make up for looks and effects

[@fealubryne]

I'm black and chronically ill, and when I get sick enough to be in the hospital (usually with anemia and really low blood pressure) I get super pale too. It's possible, just not seen very often, especially by strangers.

[@csolps7249]

WHEN HE SCREAMED I SCREAMED i think i need too sleep...

[@joukolink2883]

The father's acting was on point. This was how my father behaved while my youngest brother was dying in the hospital.

[@itmereef564]

"I'm gonna need a lot more than that" "Oh shit, here we go again"

[@1433vkw]

The “I know” @3:23 is heartbreaking and is missed under the weight of the rest of the video I think

[@levivonmond]

6:58 Yeah... Until the kid saw the needle 😂😂😂.

[@9f81rsd00]

5:11 Dad’s a big guy, tough looking. But then his dying kid tells him he’s got to let him go and you can hear his heart break by listening to his voice.
