"Is That Where She Bit You?" | House M.D.

The doctors work together to figure out the symptoms, as well as the undisclosed identity, of a disobliging homeless woman.
Stream full seasons on Peacock: pck.tv/39BlAG0
From ''Histories'' (Season 1, Episode 10): Dr. Foreman believes an uncooperative homeless woman is faking seizures to get a 'meal ticket' at the teaching hospital. But Dr. Wilson grows determined to keep her from falling between the cracks. Her worsening symptoms prove to be a complex mystery, but the mystery of her identity and medical history may hold the answers to saving her life. Just as the team suspects she has contagious meningitis, the woman goes missing, only to be tasered by the police who bring her back. But House deduces that the taser may have proven yet another diagnosis, with dire results.

I talked about this scene to my sister once and months later she remembered that rabies causes localized numbness and told me that's what's happening to her after a stray dog scratched her. It literally saved her life.

[@alexisvandom8037]

How on Earth did she live? You can't treat rabies after symptoms begin. The best you can hope for is that you find a doctor willing to try either the Milwaukee or Recife Protocol.

[@moonflower7933]

@@alexisvandom8037 no she didn't start showing symptoms. She was scratched by a rabid dog and then told me that her arm felt numb in that area. She mentioned that because I told her that if a rabid animal bites/scratches you, the site goes numb. I used to tell her often because she has a habit of petting stray animals. She got scratched around 5 am. Told me it feels kinda numb by 3 pm. We were getting her arv by 6 pm and the doctor who did the diagnostic test confirmed that my sister and her friend who was bitten by the same dog, were in fact showing signs of rabies exposure. I thank my luck because we live in different cities and I was visiting, had I not been there, she wouldn't have mentioned that on the phone. She didn't understand the gravity of the situation even after getting her vaccine and was confused why I was having a mental breakdown over that. I had to show her videos of patients in the last stage to scare her into not missing the following doses because I won't be there.

@@alexisvandom8037 before watching this episode I didn't consider that rabid humans bite and infect too, so I mentioned what exactly happened to Foreman during one of my re-runs of House MD.

The rule with Rabies is, if they have symptoms, its too late. foreman's numbness, is the result of the virus invading the nerves, from there it would spread to the brain.

[@Kalenz1234]

The problem is there is no cure for rabies. Once it reaches the brain it's game over. However the virus actually spreads through the body so slowly that when you get bitten you can get the vaccine and the immune system builds up anti bodies over the next couple days to kill the virus before it reaches the brain.

[@idrinkmilk282]

Dean... the symptoms for rabies are the most commonly known of almost any disease among general public. Due to it being a romanticized disease in pop culture and media.

Base form rabis functionally immortal due to having such a hypnotic attack on binary or quandary monocular diseases, its descendants are understandable and defeatable, but even if we did manage to get rid of rabis...we be trading one tiny-tyrant for another!

[@gingersnap9585]

It depends on the species though to. There are two forms of Rabies: aggressive or dumb form. Rabies infects different areas of the brain depending on the species. In more herbivore type animals it typically causes the dumb form- the animals have trouble moving, facial paralysis, and may die of starvation and dehydration first. The aggressive form tends to happen more in carnivores so think your classic rabid dog. But there are always exceptions. Rabies can mimic a lot of CNS diseases unfortunately. For example in horses it can look like choke which is a life threatening condition in horses where food is stuck deeper in the esophagus typically, they can normally breathe fine, but it leads to colic, metabolic acidosis and more. Rabid horses can look like their choking so a vet starts to investigate the mouth and maybe not put gloves on and they get rabies, it was a big issues back in the day.

[@davidmontroy3408]

When I was a child, I watched parts of the movie Cujo. I spent the rest of my childhood terrified of big dogs, thinking that at any time one might snap like the St Bernard in the movie. As an adult, I watched it in its entirety. During the beginning of the movie, it shows the dog chasing a bat into a hole in the ground. With his snout in the hole, the bat bit him on the nose, presumably infecting him with rabies. The infection fully explains every bit about how the dog responded and acted throughout the remainder of the movie.

[@torycatherine2044]

This episode imo ranks as one of the most tragic. They found out after confirming the diagnosis this lady used to have a home and a family- a husband and a baby boy. The rave in the abandoned house she went to at the beginning turned out to once be her home. Her husband and son were both killed in a car accident where she was driving the car. She blamed herself, was unable to cope, ended up homeless and basically spent her final days suffering horribly from her illness, ane even more so from extreme guilt and regret. The only thing that helped her go more peacefully was when she was so delirious, she thought Foreman was her son. He told her he was her husband and that he came to forgive her, and that instantly lifted a heavy and undeserved burden off her shoulders. It was basically the final thing they could possibly do to end her suffering before she was actually dead. Very sad 💔

​@@hyfy-tr2jy There have been more since! 14 known by 2016, and more since then. :) Though given that almost 60k die of rabies every year globally, that's still remarkably low odds - even in nations with access to care. The first known human survivor of a symptomatic rabies infection was a 6 year old boy (Matthew Winkler) in 1971, who became symptomatic despite having the shots - which weren't as effective then as now, and were administered a little late). He nevertheless survived, due to some level of protection afforded by the shots. He still became ill enough to need a tracheotomy for respiratory support. Jeanna Giese was remarkable for having had *no* prophylactic shots before becoming symptomatic. Before her, all known survivors had received either partial or late (as with M Winkler) post-exposure shots. But since then there have been a few others like Jeanna.

[@Kealan124]

While it's still nearly 100% lethal, there have been a handful of survivors in the last few years thanks to the Milwaukee Protocol.

(2) There was that fitness instructor who used to be fat and got thin via a gastric bypass instead of the exercising she claimed to her students, whose diagnosis of porphyria was discovered after she was given a piece of cake. (3) There was that little girl whose parents were always fighting and House twice went to a judge to appoint one or the other as her health proxy so he could get his way, and Cuddy ended up her health proxy, and just before they amputated her leg Chase came up with the diagnosis of the extreme photosensitivity version of porphyria. (4) Finally, there was the counsellor and kid from that training camp for juvenile offenders, and when Masters discovered the camp counsellor was the kid's father, the hereditary factor led House to once again diagnose porphyria, that terrible genetic disease.

Also, the virus breeds in the salivary glands. So I don't get why you're claiming the fact that kissed some other girl exchanging saliva won't infect that other girl as well.

(this can be taken in many ways) In this episode Foreman was a disgrace to all Doctors. He judged a woman who needed actual help just because she was homeless. He refused to actually try and find out what was really wrong with her and nearly broke or may have broke '1st do no harm' of the doctor's oath. He only starts to care when his fellow doctors prove him wrong that she wasn't faking her illness. I feel that in this scene he was just a down right hypocrite when he had a fit about the cop tasering the woman when he didn't care about her well being in the 1st place. There were other doctors that actually tried to care about her to get her the help she needed but Foreman just didn't care. He forget that people treated/judged him badly due to the color of his skin and the amount of money he was raised with. He in all sense forgot where he came from and let his past get in the way of being a doctor. House has taken cases he really didn't want to be on or hated and still gave 100 percent but Foremen could not in this case. He could get the care needed for his treatment but other couldn't just because of who they are. While I do like Foreman I just can not stand him in this episode for the way he acted.

3:07 hey, y'all know that's not how tasers work, right?? They use co2 to fire TWO barbs simultaneously (one horizontally toward the target, the other angled down to mid-leg-ish height. This is because 1) they are a conductive weapon, and the two nodes create a circuit through your body to send electricity, creating violent muscle spasms that are incredibly painful and render you unable to fight back (paradoxically, stronger persons tend to have a more severe reaction, as the stronger muscles contract harder), and 2) the larger-than-necessary span makes it harder to block or dodge Long story short, whether or not her leg was numb, she WOULD feel it, and it WOULD be visible (assuming both barbs made proper contact)

This one isn't really correct, there is a treatment for rabies: The patient is put in a state of hypothermia while in an induced coma. The chances are not great, like 5-10%, and even if patients survive they may have brain damage. Still better than 0%.

[@DreamingAzzy]

The chances are MUCH lower than 5-10%. The Milwaukee Protocol is not a widespread treatment for Rabies, and while technically its chances of success *are* 14%, that's only out of a sample size of 32 or so people, hand-picked for studies. The amount of people on which the Milwaukee Protocol has been used is probably higher, as not every doctor publishes their results. The other treatment, the Recife Protocol, has only succeeded maybe twice. The criteria needed to even be considered for any of these treatments is *very* slim, as rabies patients often don't realize they're ill until it's too late.

taser dont send electricity through the entire body, just through a small area between and closely around the two points where it hits ... if that area is numb and has its nerves blocked you would not feel the pain nor would the spasms (which are mostly a reaction to what the nervesystem is sending) travel past the few muscles which are directly affected by the current.

[@ligmayeye186]

@@hyfy-tr2jy thats literally the opposite of a tasers purpose. The threshold for electricity to cause involuntary muscle movement is far below what a taser outputs.
