I wouldn't say House doesn't worry about risks or danger, it's just that he has a different standard of value than normal people, in his case, makes him more extreme, he either takes action, or he doesn't, and he does it on his terms. Also you can see him regret and changing his behaviour due to past mistakes. So it's not like he doesn't care for risks, it's just that solving the issue is more important than a few bumps in the road as far as he's concerned.@@totumfrustra9959

The... explanation that is offered about the pins being in the self control section of her brain is not accurate. There's far more than just one part of the brain responsible for self control. The most this could have done is pre-disposed her to addictive behavior, not guarantee she would be an addict. The explanation was offered to the parents in an attempt by the Doctor to smooth out their relationship so that the parents wouldn't give up on her, but in the end, her faults are her own. Perhaps the false hope that something else was to blame will allow her to clean her act up, but typically for an addict to become clean, they have to accept responsibility for their behavior.

House treating an adopted woman trying to find her biological parents at the same time when we (the audience) learn that House’s dad isn’t his biological dad does not seem coincidental from the writers’ point of view.

[@T.H.E.O.R.Y.]

How so?

[@anthonymendez1997]

@@T.H.E.O.R.Y. The writers always have a theme when writing episodes. Usually there’s a clinic patient or another character associated with the theme that the patient of the episode brings. In one episode, House fakes that a clinic patient has a virgin birth. This is crucial as this encounter eventually leads to the diagnosis of eclampsia of the main patient who they discover has just given birth. Sometimes it’s subtle, but here the parallels are more blunt.

House and Wilson scene and suddenly I remember it, Chinese daughter is bad because they want a son, they tried to kill her with a needle, the buddha statue has a magnet to keep her from lifting it the second time but the magnet pulled on the needle causing all her issues, well the medical ones at least.

[@jeffreyrichard2575]

the reason they wanted a son is in the Chinese culture the son is honor bound to take care of his parents in old age. The female children bear no such responsibility. Their duty is to support their husband and children. That is why there is an overabundance of males and a lack of females because of the one child rule. Be extremely careful of the power you give a government. Its policies have very profound effects on your lives and the lives of your children and their children. Governments aren't always nice or have your individual best interest at heart.

@@DeadManWalking-ym1oo It can be switched on an off, but It's always kept on - just not always spinning. The spinning is what creates the imagery, not the magnetic field. Turning it off and on requires a bunch of very expensive stuff - mostly involving the helium used in cooling (turning it off requires flushing it) - and the magnetic field isn't stable the moment it's turned on, it takes 30+ minutes for it to get to a point of providing proper images (which obviously isn't practical for a machine used dozens of times per day).

[@cantrixtacitum]

I feel like Kutner wasn't being totally honest with the parents at the end when he said her addiction was caused by the pins. While it is possible (see the case of Phineas Gage), it seemed more to me like he was manipulating the parents because he empathized with the patient. For one, Kutner was literally the only one to comment on this. Also, there isn't a single part of the brain solely responsible for addiction. It's primarily caused by an interaction between the reward or pleasure systems and the stress or anxiety systems, which creates a cycle of craving the high that alleviates the stress that's caused by withdrawals. This can also be influenced by genes that give a stronger or weaker effect to those systems, or to others like memory or impulse control, which can give someone a predisposition or resistance to addiction.

[@rustythegreatandpowerfulla2676]

And what do those genes impact? Oh right, the addiction centers of the brain. You can SEE addiction on an fMRI. I mean really, your explanation sounds like one you get in High School.

[@cantrixtacitum]

@@rustythegreatandpowerfulla2676 "When it comes to addiction, the circuits involved are primarily the reward system and the stress system. The reward system is responsible for providing pleasurable feelings in response to things that are good for you, like eating or engaging in sexual relations. The stress system is responsible for helping you deal with threats and dangers. When these two systems are activated at the same time, it can create an addictive cycle. The reward system will release dopamine, which is a chemical that makes you feel good. The stress system will release cortisol, which is a hormone that makes you feel bad. This combination creates a powerful urge to keep using the substance or behavior. Basal ganglia - In this area of the brain, which is essential for positive motivation, the drugs trigger the reward circuit. This area of the brain affects healthy activities and those that create pleasure. When drugs overact this area, they create a sense of high. When this happens numerous times, the reward circuit adapts to the drug. That means it’s hard to feel any pleasure without the drug. Extended amygdala - This area of the brain processes anxiety and unease. It is typically the place where withdrawal symptoms stem when the drug high fades. With drug use, this area becomes more sensitive. Prefrontal cortex - This area of the brain is responsible for planning, thinking, and solving problems. It is in this area of the brain that compulsive activity happens due to a reduction in impulse control." ((Excerpt from San Antonio Recovery Center website.)) "That’s because addiction develops when the pleasure circuits in the brain get overwhelmed, in a way that can become chronic and sometimes even permanent. This is what’s at play when you hear about reward “systems” or “pathways” and the role of dopamine when it comes to addiction. But what does any of that really mean? One of the most primitive parts of the brain, the reward system, developed as a way to reinforce behaviors we need to survive-such as eating. When we eat foods, the reward pathways activate a chemical called dopamine, which, in turn, releases a jolt of satisfaction. This encourages you to eat again in the future. When a person develops an addiction to a substance, it’s because the brain has started to change. This happens because addictive substances trigger an outsized response when they reach the brain. Instead of a simple, pleasurable surge of dopamine, many drugs of abuse-such as opioids, cocaine, or nicotine-cause dopamine to flood the reward pathway, 10 times more than a natural reward." ((Excerpt from Yale Medicine website.))

@@rustythegreatandpowerfulla2676 I already stated what "those genes impact".

I’m guessing she’s in DIC or disseminated intervascular coagulation that’s where you’ll have subsequent thinning of blood and thickening of blood none of which is very treatable especially with things like heparin or steroids.

6:01 - a common misconception in America (because, you know, lousy education). The one-child policy was only rarely enforced.

[@bargainbassist]

You're right and wrong. The one-child policy was enforced mostly among the peasant population living in the rural villages where there were larger numbers of political cadres compared to the local population, and usually under pressure from those cadres. And, in the cities, the one-child policy was at times enforced, but not nearly as often as in the rural villages. There, fixed it.

[@sumlikedat]

It was enforced a lot. Many Chinese men marry off Vietnamese women because the lack of women in China. We are seeing a lot of the consequences of that policy currently.

[@RealPlasmodium]

I’m pretty sure he made up the addiction center just so the parents would have more faith in their daughter instead of sheltering her.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

Everyone with an addiction has an "addiction center." It is a certain pattern of neural pathways lighting up that make a person crave something. The one you get from nicotine is especially swift and intense because it's caused by a specific chemical's presence, which also makes you attracted to even the simple act of putting the cigarette in your mouth, not just because you like the effects. When something alters these patterns, it could be said to be altering or interacting with the addiction center of the brain.

[@ernestomoreno4409]

You didn't watch the clip? Parents tried to kill her as an infant, pins were intended to "skewer" her brain. She didn't die and a strong magnet pulled a pin down causing her illness.

[@terratrox7180]

Back when the woman was born, China had a policy where couples could only have 1 child. If they had more than 1 kid, the government would charge massive fees that would cripple any family. It was also much, MUCH better to have a son than a daughter, culturally speaking. So many couples who did have daughters would either abandon their children to adoption, or more likely, would kill their children so they could have another and hopefully get a boy. What happened here is the parents shoved those needles into her brain when she was a baby and her skull wasn't fully formed yet. But she survived, so her father abandoned her at an orphanage. Years later, those needles were still in her brain. The needles moved when she interacted with the strong magnets in the statue (and the MRI would've killed her by moving the needles too).

“Did her drinking cause this? … Can you tell her it did?” They don’t care about their adoptive daughter, they just want to control her, because they never had one of their own to control.

[@Baagtabhoot567]

[@noname-qw9td]

That's not how that works. They wanted House to tell her that it was the alcohol that caused everything in order to make it a large enough scare tactic to stop her from drinking and doing drugs again. If you're a healthy loving parent you'll go o the ends of the Earth to make sure your child is safe. Given alcohol was already killing her, to show her it was almost her last chance, would've ideally made a change.

The shows went for 60 minutes but they had to condense them to under 10 minutes by taking out unnecessary and repetitive content because the old TVs couldn’t hold anything over 10 minutes. The mondo Houser shows are very short always less than 10 minutes because of the primitive mondo TVs they had back then. The old old old TVs could not hold more than 10 minutes of show as they used CRT Catholic Ray Tubs technology and non Dylan Mulvaney CLT or Claw Technology. No harm no fowl. They tried Dylan Mulvaney to shorten the shows advertising and tried to produce a non racist TV set with Motorola involvement with flypaper control and Dylan Mulvaney CEO. Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney abandoned by Bud Lights and faced too much bullying and transphobia. The proof is in the pudding. It’s all part of the non racist discovering process

[@SamIsHere444]

You wrote a whole dissertation for what 😂

[@rickrick5041]

@@SamIsHere444 Thanks for the question about “what”. When you say “what” you must be asking about actually “watt”. The symbol is W. It depends on the temperature. A transistor such as the TIP31 having a quoted maximum power output PTOT of 40W can only handle 40W of power IF the case temperature (slightly less than the junction temperature) is kept below 25°C. The performance of a power transistor is closely dependant on its ability to dissipate the heat generated at the collector base junction. That’s where heat sinks come into the picture. Ok, it’s hard to convince people but I don’t see any racism. It’s in the eye of the beholder. It’s a racist free product in all respects. All racist free products. Join the movement. That should tell you something. Chowin was convicted of 8 counts of racism per se. 20 years. 1619 BLM JUNETEENTH. Critical Race Theory. White Supremacy. White Privilege. Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney abandoned by Bud Lights and faced too much bullying and transphobia. The proof is in the pudding. It’s all part of the non racist discovering process. The historically correct Crackhead Barney and a prominent associate of Dylan Mulvaney declined comment at that time but was very involved. This was a good question.
