House Cures A Paralysed Man Without Knowing | House M.D..

[@kennyg7163]

This is a great message to send. Trust the guy when he's loaded with painkillers but dont trust him when he's sober. Not sure who is on drugs, house or cuddy and wilson.

[@joshuagross3151]

Yes?

[@Jarednet1]

[@krukblood-axe3649]

As someone who's had to deal with an addict for over ten years, I'm completely behind the message in this show. House wasn't just sober, he was in withdrawal. At that point, a person does not act rationally. At the worst of times, they'll do whatever it takes to get their high, sometimes including verbal or physical abuse towards their loved ones, even things like blackmail. At the best of times, they're repressing the urge to do all of those things, and not thinking rationally or making good decisions as a result of that. House did this because he couldn't get Vicodin, and he needed a fix, so he turned to puzzles to get that fix. Normally, substituting an addictive substance with something like puzzles would be a good alternative, letting them distract themselves from their withdrawal with a productive pursuit, but not when House's puzzles are human lives. Rewarding that behaviour would have been detrimental to both him and those he's treating in the long run. The show has a very faithful portrayal of addiction in particular with the character of House, which implies a lot of meticulous research and/or experience, so I'm certain they knew all of this. I stand by Wilson and Cuddy's decision.

[@HarryPotter-kd3bh]

[@hurricaneaquatics]

@@krukblood-axe3649 you're completely wrong on House. House has an intellectual ability that far exceeds Cuddy and Wilson. He didn't need a high, he was just doing his job. He was on Vicodin, not Heroin. After 3 months he would have been totally off the drugs and not in withdrawal. Withdrawal from Vicodin might last 2 weeks at max. Does it take the brain time to regulate Oxytocin after not getting it artificially? Yes, but it wouldn't affect his thinking after 3 months. After taken Vicodin for years, it just keeps the pain away. Your body gets used to it and it does nothing to get you high any longer.

[@Nightraven26]

Yeah, especially as it could have shown him he doesn’t need Vicodin to be a good doctor and cure his patients. Also, as a doctor, if there is a potential way to cure someone with little to no downsides, it’s downright evil not to try it. It’s like ex iuvantibus treatment

[@nonchalantdewiness]

[@as7river]

Absolutely correct. The best kind of correct. House is a completely logical creature. If he had realized he was as smart without vicodin he would've most likely stayed off of it for good. Cuddy and Wilson screwed up big time.

[@ListlessLonerWillfulWonder]

@@as7river He could've also tried to handle more than one case at a time. This was maybe the only episode where I recall him selecting to work on more than one patient at the same time. However Cuddy and Wilson are just so sanctimonious, especially to House, they're used to worrying about keeping his ego in check before helping him to manage his drug problem. Yes maybe there were future lives at stake, but certainly House' was, this perspective may have never been considered by the writers at any point in this episode. Either his ego would be too inflated from how he solved this case, or he would still simply be the same House, recognizing how lucky he was, ESPECIALLY with Cuddy or Wilson pointing it out, without the vicodin, leg pain managed. Both perspectives seem fairly consistent of how House was written up to that point imo.

And Cuddy did have a good, valid medical reason to give him cortisol: the same reasons House gave her. She was just trying to downplay him.

I've been on a House binge these last 2 weeks and honestly, over and over again everyone around him utterly betrays him after they force him into situations he is not suited for but apparently that's justified because he's addicted to pain killers. I'm almost done with season 3 and how any of them still have the gall to lecture him when every time he gets into trouble they either abandon or betray him. They take advantage of his gift as a doctor while continuing to push and prod him instead of just leaving him the hell alone to pursue his work. His outlook on life is entirely justified, everyone around him constantly abuse, manipulate or take advantage of him, but oh no, he's mean and rude so it's apparently it's okay to fuck him over.

I mean, his reasoning is medical- instead of assuming the patient was trying to die, he thought of a different outlook “the patient was hot, and wanted to cool off”. He didn’t see scar tissue in the MRI, because sometimes scar tissue is small, and the pituitary gland is also small. It doesn’t take much to disturb glands in the human body. Cortisol has no downsides, it’s safe to inject as long as the patient has no allergy or any medicines that has a bad interaction. All he would’ve needed to do was get permission from Cuddy, and then go to the wife and child and explain his reasoning and ask them for consent to administer cortisol. I’m sure the wife and child would’ve been fine with doing it, considering it was a safe injection. What Cuddy did is honestly worse- she lied, administering cortisol to “fight infection”, when that’s not the reason for doing it. She did it AFTER discharge, which goes against so many rules and regulations. She didn’t do it through prescription, it didn’t go into his chart, which I know is to evade House but it risks her job and license. She lied to one of her doctors for the simple reason of “he needs to learn the word No”. House understands the meaning of “no”, but he’s House the Best Doctor Around for a reason.

[@LifesGuardian]

While you're not wrong and they have done damage, unintentionally or otherwise, this was not the time to massage his ego. He was in withdrawal and not thinking clearly. Sure, it worked, but telling him that would've incentivized him to make more guesses. While House is a brilliant physician and is luckier than most, eventually luck runs out. Better to have proof, or at least evidence that leads to a potential conclusion instead of an educated guess. Either way, Cuddy shouldn't have given the patient the injection without, at least, talking to the wife and explaining that it might work, but might not.

It's his gift, and the only thing that makes him feel like he's good at doing his job. He's not good with patients, he's definitely not compassionate or caring and as he says when his ketamine treatment happens: "I can make people better." He defines himself around his intellect.

They actually know little about engineering, so say "no" to everything for fear of being wrong. This is why house and cuddy work - she knows enough to understand him but not enough to not need him. She also knows he cares more than he lets on, and a lot of his gruffness is an affectation to cope with his continual physical pain and frustration at many people's carelessness of health.

He began to believe that his obsessive diagnosis was incorrect too, when in reality it was saving lives. House let his emotions cloud his judgement and as a result a patient would have been disabled for the rest of his life, if not for cuddy trying his treatment. I count this one as a house loss along with the photosensitive anaphylaxis case that he thought was flesh-eating bacteria, because victory comes not just from being clever enough to know how to win, but also having the conviction to do what is necessary to.

Years passed for this scene and its still my favorite, gives me chills each time . It gives me hope that everything got a solution at the end even if everything says the opposite Even if everything indicates that it’s all going to be worse still there is always hope

Love how a man, whom was paralyzed for years, gets up and walks. The atrophy generated over a period of week to years can render some to need serious rehab to even walk two steps. Love house, but sometimes it's goofy as hell.

He probably had someone to help exercise his muscles through simple stretching etc... it’s not that uncommon

[@jimmymimsy8751]

He barely gets up with help of wife and he does not walk in a single frame of this. Have you got the director's cut version where he does a tap dance at the end? Doth one infer muchly?

who not whom

[@zimnylech527]

True, this was one of the silliest moments of the show for me. If a guy took a deep breath and moved his arm around, that would have been amazing enough. But unbuckling his own belt and immediately getting up? Hell no.

It is not real life. They cannot halt things to be realistic.

"Next time he won't get lucky and he'll kill someone" Wouldn't that apply to the opposite? He'll hold back more and the patient will die? :V double edged sword right there

It's always the shocked expression of a devastated by "false hope" Cuddy that does me in.

[@callumhardy5098]

Wilson and cuddy were so mean in this episode.

[@stagna1959]

Mostly Wilson. Cuddy did want to tell House was right and finally in next episode she confessed in order to make him again risk-taking brilliant doctor with crazy ideas like he was before and after that episode . But if it was up to Wilson, House would never discovered the truth and became just another mediocre very cautious doctor who would be less effective and practice only 100 % safe game.
