Poisoning Her Husband With Gold | House M.D. | MD TV

[@SweatShirtSkull]

“The last one had no idea and just referred us to Dr. House” the last doctor was the smartest doctor

[@HiddenOcelot]

This right here, if you have no idea, lead them to someone who might know.

[@Xylarxcode]

Presumably, he got the records from his other colleagues and knew they already ruled out all the things they thought it could have been. So he didn't need to test for any of that, because they already had. At that point, he knew that whatever this guy had, it was way out of a normal doctor's ballpark and he needed to see a specialist. Not necessarily the smartest one, just one who had more information than the previous doctors and knew he was way out of his depth here. Most of the time, if something is wrong with you, a normal doctor will be able to fix you just fine. They look for normal stuff, because 95% of the time, it is normal everyday stuff. The other 5% are the cases we see on the show.

[@FlandreScarletshadowBlood]

Gold in general is just not toxic on its own. You can eat it (I even did once). But gold compounds can sometimes release gold ions, which are very toxic. It's rarity isn't the reason for the failure to figure out what it is: it's the fact that gold isn't part of the heavy metal testing, as it is not toxic.

That's smart honestly. Gold isn't an obvious heavy metal so it won't be positive on the test since it's uncommon to be poisoned with it.

[@FlandreScarletshadowBlood]

It's not just not an obvious one. It's a near impossible one. Gold is not toxic in it's metallic form. It's completely edible in fact, and you can even find places that serve it in food. However, some compounds that include gold will instead release gold ions after ingestion, which are very toxic. Since gold is not a toxic heavy metal, they don't test for it.

@@jonathantio7531 I see. I understand now. She put gold sodium thiomalate into her husband's food which remained in her hands but when she goes to the washroom, she would wash her hands thus proof that she was the one who "poisoned" her husband's food would be gone (before House had a chance to test her hands for evidence - thus he didn't want her washing her hands). She wouldn't get the poisoning because she was not ingesting the gold sodium thiomalate (which I mistakenly thought was absorbed through the skin) but rather, it was present in her hands because she touched it to sprinkle onto husband's food. Now onto my next question... isn't it expensive to poison someone by gold?

Well we know she said she didn't want him dead. Either it's a couple reasons either she wanted the attention, she wanted him to need her , or if I remember correctly they mention he like to have lots of sex. Then she might want to stop him from wanting to do that.

[@evadneanderson7474]

Because gold is such a precious metal and so dang expensive that only a diabolical genius with money and access would use it. And a standard heavy metal tox screen does not screen for 30 heavy metals, some of which are super rare, others of which are too precious to be put on the test panel. That's why dude's heavy metals tests were negative.

They're in a hospital - you want to keep her in the room, tell her there's just been an incident, and they've had to quickly close off an area for quarantine. Route to the bathroom goes right through it. They can get her out, but it'll take a little while to arrange safely...

[@stargazer7644]

Or, simply call security and tell them to keep her in another location. If she's suspected of poisoning her husband, you generally wouldn't leave her free in his room.

[@Silver_Owl]

@@stargazer7644 I wasn't too clear, but I think my meaning was that they'd delay her in the room under supervision until security arrives. Basically House wanted to ensure she didn't just leave, which she did, because they couldn't think of a way to stop her. Fake quarantine was what they needed. Though agreed, she needs to be supervised.

It most be a poisonous salt of gold. The pure metal is not poisonous, nothing inside your guts can attack gold. In some countries they serve you very expensive food arrangements with very thin gold foil. Same with Copper, the metal is nor poisonous but the salts are lethal.

But that would be obvious and make the doctors suspicious, by doing it how she did it she was able to apply the poison whether a doctor was in the room or not. If it wasn't for House she'd have most likely gotten away with it, everyone else was incensed by his accusations.
