House Amputates A Trapped Woman | House M.D..

[@meganfaith4052]

One of the best versions of House. He tells her what she’s in for immediately, he doesn’t sugarcoat it, but he takes her hand and tells her a little joke to put her at ease. He was merciful and full of genuine kindness, and did everything he could

[@Stuart267]

That's because he connected with her on a deeper level than he had with most of the patients on the show & why he was so devastated that she passed away anyway

[@xWatexx]

He was about to cut her leg off. He’s blunt, not necessarily cruel

[@hennessygarciahg]

Deep down, he cares

[@rhombo323]

She wasn't hiding anything from him, and wasn't sick due to her own stupidity. Those 2 things are what makes House hate/dislike some of his patients. She was a good woman caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@Yayalax1942]

I can second that man, I've been volunteering for the last year hoping to be picked up full time, and even from my short time on, I've seen some pretty horrific things, and the thing that really is just like any other is the screaming and crying and yells of help coming from those who are trapped. Those sounds instantly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, but fortunately I enjoy it because there is nothing else quite like making a difference in somebody's life. Unless you've heard it before, those screams are unlike any other

R3d is a corruption of Red, making any attempts to define it in the same fashion incompatible and pointless. The 3 represents the number of letter spaces the word has, in addition to being an extension of "1337 5p34k" from the early 1980's nerd culture. An octave is the number of note intervals in any scale diatonic or otherwise (Major, Minor, Dim, Aug, etc) which finishes on the same note as the "root" at a higher or lower sound register. In classic notation the octave is labelled as "8ve" to signify playing the note 12 semitones up or down.

@Constantine Constans Except that his decision, and thus his wife's decision to go against it cost him his wife, any friends he had except Wilson, strained his relationship with Cuddy, and make him a bitter cynic who had nothing and nobody but his job. House knows better than anyone what it's like to be in that situation and the value of a leg. He even said it himself that he regrets it, and that's why he told her to let them amputate. He wanted her to give up half her leg to save her life and everything in it, rather than risk all of it on the chance that she might get to keep her leg and retain almost full use of it.

[@eomoran]

@@PTJ_S I’ve heard both of those defrauded both those ways unfortunately so it’s still not obvious.

Fun fact from wikipedia: This episode was shot entirely using Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras. These digital SLRcameras are primarily designed for still-picture photographs, but are one of the first to include high-definition video recording capability. These allowed the production team to work in very tight spaces, using minimal lighting, while also offering a very shallow depth of field putting the backgrounds out of focus, and making the work very challenging for the focus pullers.

House saw so much of himself in Hana. Saving her would have been like saving himself. He knew the value of a leg, more than anyone there.

Season 6 was my favorite season of House. It had a great premiere episode and a great finale episode. This whole episode was so touching, and when House said that he wished he had amputated his leg, we could all feel his pain. It was for me, the first time I really got to know the degree of pain he's been feeling. For once, he really connected to a patient. He got vulnerable with his story about his leg not only to convince her to do the right thing but he got vulnerable to show her what the reality would be if she didn't amputate.

[@smileymctrashbag]

It's one of those things where, at least for me, I wished more than ever I could have saved him.

[@syllevineo]

Yo Shinji Get In The Robot I remember that episode where he tried to remove the tumours in his leg by himself in the bathtub. Hugh Laurie made it seem so darn real I literally felt him screaming and I wanted to help him so badly. His performance as House still leaves me in awe

6th season was my favourite too. Great beginning and great ending. Thats why I love it. You said it perfectly.

[@Trollsty]

I think this is the most honest and human moment we get out of house in the series. He’s not being selfish. He has no agenda. He’s not trying to manipulate. He tells her how he messed up by saving his leg. He doesn’t want her to be like him. For just a bit, house comes to terms with who he is.

[@Brentolini23]

This scene hits harder when you rewatch it after seeing the whole series, it is definitely the most open house gets with a patient about his past. Brings me to tears everytime even knowing what happens after.

[@brianbernstein3826]

such a powerful episode because it covers a life theme I haven't seen covered on TV before - sometimes even when you give something your all and sacrifice everything, you still fail. you don't fail because you screwed up, you fail because the universe decided it for literally no reason. most people dismiss this "futility" stuff as pessimistic, cynical, and negative energy they don't want on their mind. but it's a real theme in our lives and I appreciate the producers for covering it so well.

[@ratpoizon]

That was worded beautifully

[@CaseNumber00]

I have seen some anime shows cover this before. Maybe if I am asked about what those shows are in a month or so, I can remember them.

[@brianbernstein3826]

I also wanna add: this is House at his most reduced. He has hit rock bottom, as Cuddy sadistically points out, he truly has nothing left and is grasping at straws. When we lose everything, all that's left is our truest most raw of selves and that's the House we're forced to see here. it's not easy. this is truly one of the greatest episodes in the entire show's history.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

That speech, out of all the sad things in house, made me tear up. I could see the pain in his eyes as he said she had a husband, friends, a life - implying he had nothing.

[@jenniferaguilar3830]

Does anyone replay when he tells her, " I'm in pain everyday it changed me made me harder person even worse person now I'm alone". I feel for him when he says that xc now we know why House is the way he is.

[@10GGundam]

Maybe it's because I kind of understand the person House is, but what Cuddy said was a bit harsh. Someone may not have anything (career or relationship) in their life, but it doesn't mean it's worthless and there's no permission to act as so. I'm not looking for anything in my life. I don't want a big money career where I'm the boss or a relationship or children. For someone who's spent a lot of her life depressed and little to no motivation to actually live, if I can hit the age 50, I think I've accomplished something great. House has shown he is very suicidal and doesn't really care about others or even making himself happy. Maybe he doesn't want anything but acting like that's pathetic is kind of mean. Not everyone wants the world

[@astrangeone]

I always got that House is at his happiest when diagnosing weird/rare diseases and actually saving people's lives. What happens when he has to retire? He doesn't have anything else to fall back on for, and he might become a drug-addled lunatic because of that. He's not suicidal (he's willing to try anything on his leg)...but the pain and the cynical nature he has makes him pull away from everybody like a mofo. I mean, look at the fact that he treats everyone like dirt...plus his motto ("Everyone lies.")

[@soulsreaper7145]

its sad ur letting ur life just waste on by

[@Soul_Alpha]

Soulsreaper Like they said not everybody needs the world to make them happy. If you need it then good for you go for it, but some can go without wanting everything. It's called being a minimalist.

[@Shendue]

She said those things precisely because she cares about him and wants him to change. And you can tell she regrets hurting him, afterwards. Of course he's not worthless. All his coworkers actually care about him no matter how he fucks up their relationships and he saved how many lives?

[@solarnaut]

NeijiHina, nobody seems to have actually solved "the existential crisis" of meaning in life... many find "purpose" in relationships, which are, ultimately, just extension of the "pyramid scheme" … being conscious is a confounding "gift" from the universe and is only available presently.

[@Olkard]

"That's the point" scene was so real in this episode. I think it was the peak for Hugh in the whole show.

[@victorpradha9946]

House hates that there's any futility to life. When "Esther" died, he couldn't figure out WHY and it became an obsession for him until "All-in". House WANTS to know that all of his insights, all of his intelligence can so easily be rendered impotent just like a simple clot can resign House to a lifetime of agony and misery!

[@duncanurquhart5278]

the actress (china shavers) portrays pain really well here, a lot better than they usually do in this show which makes me think it wasn't just direction. she isn't just screaming bloody murder constantly thrashing around, she's moaning because she can't make any other vocalization and writhing likes she's trying to get away from something inescapable.

[@reinburhythm3215]

@Constantine Constans You know, amputation doesn’t happen because of some future inconvenience in life. It’s a last resort. Without amputating it, it can cause infection to spread or become useless anyways, in which it begins to rot and eventually falls off. If that happens though, your entire body would be too sick to cure. So no, in this case it’s not stupid, it’s literally the safest option they had.

[@reinburhythm3215]

@Constantine Constans you also have to take into account that the treatment house underwent was not only within a certain time frame, *in* a hospital, and *with proper medical equipment,* but it was also extremely risky. Even riskier than doing an amputation like that.

This scene was amazing. It’s nice to see House treat patients like this, obviously because he relates to her so much. I still need to watch the whole series but I know he isn’t like this with all of his patients and I think it’s refreshing to see him take care of a patient like this. It almost made me cry because this scene was more real than others are in my opinion. House is usually snarky and keeps a distance to some extent but he got on a personal level with this woman and I loved that.

[@IneptOrange]

You know, medieval doctors really didn't amputate often at all. For one, bone-setting was well known about, and they knew that a simple break when reset would heal in time. They often didn't partake in many complex surgeries like amputation due to religious reasons.

[@randymarshislorde]

It's moments like the one where he talked her into the amputation and then did it that point out exactly how brilliant of a character Greg House really was. If I somehow miraculously live to be 100 years old, I'll never forget my first time binge watching this show. It's been nearly a decade already and a lot of the episodes still stick to me like glue. They stuck to me so well that I can even remember what I was doing simultaneously while watching said episodes in many cases, all the way down to the meals and snacks I was eating during them 😅

I can't express how much I love this show.

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me''

[@konoyarogaming6774]

This really is a powerful scene, expecially with the continuation that really drives home the point, life isn't fair. House finally broke, realizing his flaw of how hard he was and how much he regrets keeping his leg. He realize how much better his life might have been had he gotten it cut off but after all that, that growth he felt, the growth they saw and the heart he poured in... She never got to experience it. House never got to see what could have been. He cared and someone died. The happy do gooders in love should get to walk free and live.

This clip was a reminder that house is human, and that no matter how many buttons he presses, he also has his own

[@randyjones3747]

House is one of my favorite shows, because no matter how direct and cruel he really seems he always thinks he is doing what is in the best interest of his patient and you can tell, even though he is grumpy and angry and in pain how much he loves, and cares about the people he works on

[@kbassassin8308]

I have watched this series over and over and I think I found where House developed his motto that "Everybody Lies" it came with him losing the ability of his leg. His girlfriend at the time I forget her name and Cuddy his friend both schemed behind his back to do an operation on his leg Yes it probably saved his life but in his mind the two people he trusted the most went behind his back against what he wanted. And throughout the series they really don't do anything to help him with this realization. Wilson and Cuddy talk about him behind his back and he finds out because he is very calculated and has studied their behaviors to figure when something is up. And I bet it hurts everytime they tell him something or hide something from him just because they're afraid to face him and deal with his shouting. It's sad that the people who shouldn't be lying to him, have lied to him for 8 Seasons and if I remember their dates the show takes place from 2004-2008 so that's four years of it and longer because of his leg.
