[@ShootMyMonkey]

The story of a guy being relieved of phantom pain, the fact that he was a Canadian helping with rescue missions when the Americans were pulling out of Vietnam, and how he lost his hand are all a real story. He was one of the trial patients in a study on this exact approach for treating phantom pain at UCSD. Amazing thing is that the speed at which it works was pretty close to what you see in this clip other than the fact that most people need to do the same clench-relax cycle a few times. It's also a regular regimen that he may have to repeat every day for a while, but slowly phase out over time.

But hey, it's a nice thought and awesome drama!

[@wanderinwolf3804]

@@proxactual not exactly. I have phantom limb pain. Gun blew up in my hand and blew my hand away. Can still feel the gun in that "hand" to this day and every day its the same sensation of the gun/explosive shock in my hand. It has gotten better over the years, well I say better, I have gotten used to the pain. But I can honestly say I have never gone through mirror therapy, as it was not gonna be helpful. Depending on the circumstances mirror therapy is not always an option, ands its also not really an option that actually gets thought about on a regular basis, since mirror therapy is a really case by case remedy. Mirror therapy can be almost instant, it can take time, it could never work, and even if it does work, there have been cases where the pain comes back over time. So no, he might not have been undergoing mirror therapy for many years.

[@flisko123]

@@wanderinwolf3804 which gun blew in your hand?

[@wanderinwolf3804]

@@flisko123 I don't remember the make/model of it as I was a kid, age 12, when it happened. All I remember is that it was a revolver. I've tried not thinking too hard of the actual events that transpired for so many years that thats all I can remember about the gun. This is all I remember about the accident, it was my uncles gun, we were out shooting in Missouri, we were shooting shotguns at first because my grandparents had a clay pigeon thrower. Once we ran out of clay pigeons, they pulled out the hand guns and such and set up targets down range. I had never shot a revolver before, so I was really excited... My guess, since my uncle owned a gun shop and everything, including a ammo reloading machine, is that I got a bad bullet. But other than that I try not to think about it much. Plus as a kid you don't really pay attention to brands and such of guns. To me all I knew was shotguns, rifles, pistols/revolvers. I knew the types of guns nothing really about makes/models.

[@arm279145]

WanderinWolf I mean.... if you mirrored your other hand setting down a revolver that might work. Literally trick your brain into putting the gun down. You might also try setting up a mirror box at a range and actually firing a revolver with your other hand before setting it down. Additionally, with people there to stop you, you might want to try a small dose of mushrooms or LSD beforehand, as they make your mind more open to suggestion. (Just ask the CIA) I’ve heard it works wonders for trauma patients.

The itch didn't come back thankfully, but she said she could still feel when she tried wiggling her toes or rolling her ankle. I can't even imagine what that's like~

[@analoguegeek]

House is deviant enough that he would probably be into it either way

[@jkasdhn99]

This has always been one of my favorite moments from the show. When he cryingly thanks him after years of pain, it's sad. What's even sadder is House's reaction/envy of the veteran being finally pain-free. Could you do S08E07 - Dead and Buried? The scene when the wife says, "I left because of his eyes. He had Drew's eyes." I always found that line so painful. Especially when their son's mysterious death finally had an answer, the mom didn't have to put up such a strong persona anymore, and was in tears saying to her ex-husband, "I miss him, too." Damn. Feels.

I just realized how smart House is. I may be reading too much into this but before House pricks the dude with the needle to drug him he says “Hi, honey!” Which is definitely humorous but it also effectively speeds up the patient’s heart rate by scaring him which then helps pump the drug through his system faster. Once again, I might just be reading too much into this but still.

[@MuddusMaximus]

I think anyone's heart rate would spike after realising you've been injected with an unknown substance by a person who broke into your house.

[@LordKnightcon]

General anesthesia doesn't work like that in real life, either. There's a ton of things you need to know about someone's physiology in order to knock them safely unconscious with drugs: weight, metabolism, blood chemistry, potential allergies. All of this stuff has to be calculated in order to measure the correct dose of whatever combination of sedatives you will be employing. Getting any of this incorrect will result in the injection causing anything from mild drowsiness to instant death. This is why professional anesthesiologists have to go to school for so many years and earn so much fucking money.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

That form of therapy actually does work and can be that immediate. Though for some it takes more sessions. Tying him up and “forcing” him to do it added to the efficacy in his case but it’s a very rare technique!!

[@JustSome1chillin]

Which would make sense. When the guy lost his arm, it wasn’t either another calm season of losing limb. It hurt, and was intense experience.

I love this scene. The acting, the comedy and seriousness of it. But what I love most is how poetic it is. The man is literally letting go of the pain. He held onto it both physically and emotionally. Then the bittersweetness of seeing House revel in the man's healing, wondering how it feels to be permanently pain free. He's dabbled in it before but only a taste here and there. But none of them came without consequence. With Cuddy giving the ketamine jump-starting his brain and resetting his pain receptors, the methadone etc. House is one of my all time favorite characters. I wish it was still going but they ended it in the best way possible. I wish I could remember what it was like to not be sick or in pain but seeing someone else's healing is beautiful. Even if it's just acting.

[@wolffang489]

This was one of the most memorable scenes I have from the show.

[@NoahJamme]

Such an amazing acting performance

[@Hannah-ks5fn]

House, a true example of Chaotic Good.

[@stevemeyer4765]

A strong episode for a late season of House.

[@g.s.651]

For all the humor, for all the insanity, this is my favorite part of the show... it’s beautiful and incredibly well acted.

[@daniellaalouf]

What a phenomenal actor. It's my favorite clip out of the entire show!

[@KitKatNisa]

I love the double meaning behind House telling him to "let go"

[@aatighe]

One of the best scenes from the entire series!

[@Hesitatedeye]

The thing that makes me smile about this is the actor who plays the neighbour was in a show called Due South about a cop from Chicago and a Mountie partner who had issues with "Canada" the fact he's Canadian makes me smile.

[@paultanski-hampton928]

Loved due south, chemistry with Paul Gross David Marciano was brilliant

[@bobpotato5545]

No one: “Hi honey, how was your day?”

[@cristianandrade2565]

Getting rid of a chronic pain must feel like winning a billion dollars.

[@daemonredfield3211]

I remember reading the article where they first discovered this technique, where a guy constantly had a feeling of his missing limb clenched into a fist. The first session was only temporary, lasting for a few minutes. But over multiple sessions, where he eventually learned to just unclench it without the need of the mirror.

[@lauravturner]

This is horrifying yet somehow still endearing. House has a way of making even the weirdest most fucked up things really sweet.

[@thequietestengine]

There's a certain irony in David Marciano playing a Canadian, given his more recognised role as Ray Vecchio in Due South where he was partnered with a Canadian : >

[@Mehwhatevr]

This my favorite scene in the entire series I think

[@mochann1133]

Such good acting my god I felt that

[@amauritaniannomad6533]

Haven’t watched a single episode of the show for over 7 years now but for some reason this particular is always with me.

[@EurynomeEclipse13]

Dr. Dexter

[@simonnachreiner8380]

I can’t imagine what it must be like to be holding onto the hand of someone you failed to save for over thirty years. He wasn’t just letting go of his pain, he was finally letting go of the worst moment of his life. There are people who say there aren’t any miracles anymore. To me the miracles of medicine, a man holding his heart in his hand, a premature baby living a full life, a wounded vet finally letting go, these are far more miraculous than any burning bush.

[@HectorGonzalez-qx9nk]

If only Big Boss had House as his lead medic on Mother Base...

[@TheReaper13g]

@Danny Chesney well, if you found him as Venom,then he'd do something for Kaz

[@gruntlife5055]

Your a cultured individual

[@ironrojo]

Fenomenal acting, fantastic writing, Awesome Editing, Great Directing. The result was one of the most beautiful scenes of the entire show.

[@JohnSmith-ib1si]

I love how much of medicine is just pulling the wool over your body’s eyes

[@RobSchofield]

One of the most outstanding scenes of this television series. Superb.

[@therookanga]

3:04 we just ignore the real reason this man is weeping? that duct tape rip off a bearded face was gnarly

[@reesyroc1369]

"First of all, my bad/definite set back" ... Gets me every time 😆

[@Nonaggress]

HE PLAYED HIM LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE

[@gruntlife5055]

Your a cultured individual

[@dogjmunu]

Dude really sold it there at the end.

[@mementomori1553]

he really sold the world

[@crycll_gunpla3352]

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... And my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our Past!

[@martinteece8983]

One the best sceens you ever get from house. The fact that seeing it like this with the false image hand is such a extream case but it all mental in the end which takes it to the extream.
