In terms of gaining information it's definitely the better choice, in terms of ethicality it's a bit weird. He's ensuring one baby dies by doing the logical thing. If he instead did the opposite there's a 50% chance no baby will die, but a 50% chance both babies will die. Statistically it's the same amount of babies surviving on average, but ethically it's giving a 50% chance of survival vs giving a 0% chance of survival.

something I really hate about shows that follow this type of story progression. House is arguably the most intellectual person in that hospital. The most intellectual person in the medical field PERIOD in that worlds story. However they repeatedly disregard his warnings time and time again. Other stories do that as a way to build suspense and a way to build an event and its stupid and asinine. I love House, but when stories progress because characters are not heeding the warnings of the person who is the defacto expert on the subject, who has on multiple occasions been proven right, its stupid. "Character A - smartest tactician - in a war story" - Guys the enemy is planning to do this!!! "Every other character" - NAAAAAH that sounds outrageous they would never. You are going crazy and senile. I don't care how many times you were right in the past or how many times I was completely mistaken, we will take my word that everything is fine while ignoring your complete legitimate warnings.

@@Lyquaria .......i am conflicted with how right you are. That is 100% correct. I look at the 2 instances differently though. The show is House going by trial and error until he gets the answer.

Not to mention he made a valid point that should have been considered. If Doctors are known to give that obstructed bowel as a blanket diagnoses then Cuddy should have considered that. I seriously doubt she didn't know it as being the deen. I will concede your point though, still hate that type of story telling but you made a valid point.

[@will-kyon1067]

No because why did I say “..and baby out.” After the baby died 😭

[@ChocoBabiChan]

And this is why breast feeding is so essential. Since babies are born with an immune system that is pretty much level zero, the colostrum that comes out before the breast milk is filled with antibodies that gives your baby a fighting chance against world of bacteria. And the defense breast milk offers doesn't just stop at the colostrum. It continues throughout the breastfeeding term up until your child is ready for solids. Not only does breast milk protect your child from getting deathly ill, it also aids in healthy cognitive, and physical development. If your baby doesn't latch, that's fine, you can still pump. If your milk doesn't come in, and medications aren't working, then I suggest looking into breast milk donation supply or hiring a healthy wet nurse which is still a thing.

Wouldn't this be unethical??

[@blueyes6474]

This would be something an ethics board would usually need to review and approve, it could be approved as ethical if there were zero other options, it’s the old if you’re on a train and on the course you’re on right now it’s going to run over 6 people, but if you pull the lever it’ll change course and instead run over 1 person, act and condemn someone, don’t act and condemn several, never an easy question and it’s something that would in the real world be heavily evaluated

@@blueyes6474 Which gets even better, when there is no time for the usual due diligence. It wouldn't be exactly ethical, to call ethics board, so they can discuss the necessity of potentially or outright unethical choice, if, as a result of the delay, the worse outcome were to manifest. And here is the kicker. Say ethics committee were called in this case and as result of them talking for hours, both kids died. The committee wouldn't face anything, meanwhile if House went ahead without consent from the committee, he could lose his license due to ethics violation.

Dr. House isn't big on ethics.

Please Doctors Help the Babys 👶 l Feel sad 😔 For Them

[@theRockRider1209]

I don’t get why they couldn’t give both babies the same antibiotics. They treat it as a trial, one works the other doesn’t. They are guaranteed a death. If they gave both the same antibiotics there is a risk, either both die or both live (either the antibiotics are the right choice or not) You’d put both babies on the line but you wouldn’t be giving up on either

[@seraphinefontana3058]

Probably to save time they didn't have. If they give the same medicine to both of the baby what if it doesn't work? What then? Besides, it's an epidemic. They're trying to save lives by sacrificing one.

[@gabsnandes7818]

If you gave both the same: 50%×50%=25% at the two surviving The other one is a 50% shot at one of the babies surviving, it's a better rate to have at least one life safe However, given what we know after the end of the show, the other baby was going to die no matter what

Too short too short 😅

[@ZianaSue]

Is this a case of parents/mothers not being vaccinated, and the results coming back to kill their infants?

[@SentaiYamaneko]

No, it was an elderly volunteer who was delivering teddy bears to the hospital for the pediatric ward. She had a virus that came with a cough and a runny nose, wiped with her hands, and never took the time to wash them.

This episode should have ended Cameron's career. What she did is wrong on so many levels.
