Abuse Victim Insists on House's Treatment (Featuring Katheryn Winnick) | House M.D. | MD TV

[@felgper01]

What strikes me is that she might feel this pull towards House because he wants nothing from her, iot, he wants nothing "to do with her". From her standpoint, he represents a safe space.

[@augustintamard3850]

Brilliant. I wouldn't have found out. I think you're the only one who nailed it.

[@dodgem259]

@felgper01 you know what, I think you are spot on. He made it clear from the get go he want's nothing to do with her, he's not interested in her, does not want to know her because she is healthy and he is not interested in the healthy, only the physically sick. This get's her brain sending out signals that this is a safe man to be around because he is not going to hurt her or try to get to her talk about the incident or pressure her in any way because she knows he has no interest in her. This makes her feel completely safe and that is extremely important to her. Her subconscious is saying it is safe to be around House but her subconscious is not communicating this to her brain hence why she keeps saying 'I don't know' when Houses ask her why does she want him to be the doctor attending to her.

[@usualsuspects42]

@@dodgem259 @dodgem259 You and @felgper01 are correct. She senses safety from him in his brutal honesty. She senses he's not going to BS her then turn around and try to get in her pants, like so many do who pretend to care at first. We need people to believe in. If we don't have someone, even just one person we can believe in, we die either physically or metaphorically - or we turn into hard, ugly people, always in defense mode, believing in no one.

The real reason she wants him to treat her is because she sees pain in his eyes. Pain is something others can recognise. It's why she trusts him and why she's trying to connect with him. She wants his answers to how to deal with this pain, to give her the strength to move on.

[@elcuentahistorias6781]

I don't think that's the reason, from people that I know in similar situations (maybe not r**e but some similarities) is because House is the opposite of the one who did that to her (usually people they know) so fake kindness and those stuff, so House is not only outside of her circle (usually harder to open up with people you care at first) So to sum up House is hostile yet understanding without any fakeness and easier to talk to

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

Now that you said it could easily be a full movie. Even though in the show i can see them mostly playing games and talking about banalities and life, and talking about her event and feelings just exporadically, since thats what she seems to want, a movie would take a more narrative arc form. Both can be different kinds of great. I really like the uncompromised version, its new, not ignoring, not dwelling on it but a balance between normalcy and processing.

[@turtleboy991]

"If you were to care about every person suffering on the planet, life would shut down". Gotta agree with him on that one

[@Biomirth]

That whole interchange was a beautiful illustration of stoicism. It isn't about not caring, it's about recognizing that you can't be everywhere at once and that the thing in front of you might not be the most important thing, no matter how much it seems like it. Sure, House uses this philosophy to keep distance, aloof in his own suffering, but there is also an objective truth in what he's describing. Our sympathy and care doesn't 'belong' to any one particular person, proximate or unknown at a distance. The stoics understood that one's sense of morality comes before action, and even perception. When you know the futility or proper context of your action, only then can you act with compassion and no blindness, no hypocrisy. She saw all that in him; Underneath it all is House's willingness to face the truth of existence and a smart person will always respect that, and trust it.

[@blackfire_x2964]

I agree as well yeah. There's too much suffering in the world to think about, stress and get depressed about. If we worried every single time we got some bad news, we'd just break down.

[@mawmer7235]

From all the interacting, i gather she's very smart. The incident is her handicap, for life. The doctor she talks to is witty and immediately catches her pain from her reaction. And instead of forceful empathy or simping over her, he walk out on her. She knows at a deeper level that nobody else can understand her like he does. He left because he cared, because he's aware it's beyond his capability. It's like a gifted child meeting a grandmaster. The fascination, the intrique, the unanswered questions to life... Maybe it started with a tragedy, but the possibilities brought forward by it, of meeting her spiritual teacher is something she doesn't want to let go.

I think she intuitively recognized that House was different. That he had his own pain to deal with, and therefore she connected with him in a way that she couldn’t put into words, hence her repeated “I don’t know” answers.

[@vond5829]

I think she wanted House because he was the only one who didn't show even a shed of pity. He was cruel and straight forward, no beating around bushes. Statistically speaking, victims don't need pity, they need time and normality to move on from the state of being a victim. Pity is the one thing they keep reminding them that they're victims

[@LoganDark4357]

traumatized people tend to be smart

[@LyingTube]

One of the major approaches to treating depressive spells is to find distraction in things you don't feel bad or ideally even fell good about. Hobbies, games, and the like. You need to manage that it doesn't become a deleterious escape but just spending that time with your brain not fixated on the issues that triggered the episode helps your brain to quietly process them. Obviously, depression is a complex neurological malady and "just do what makes you happy" isn't going to cure it alone, but it does give credence to the idea that "time" by itself, not focusing on the trauma, will help in the long run.

[@dars5229]

Speaking from experience, you're right. Being idle and bored holds the door open for depression. Which is what it wants, so it makes you too tired or apathetic to do stuff. But I've found it's almost impossible to have intrusive thoughts while playing an engaging video game, watching a good movie, or working with my hands while listening to music or even at the gym with a semi-decent podcast. Time doesn't always heal but distance always provides perspective.

[@Michelle-fm2iz]

​@@dars5229Or PTSD

[@amebunni]

In my experience, not being able to sit and process something and think about it just leads to it being repressed. Maybe I feel this way because of my ADHD, but I don't know. For as long as I remember, I've been able to overcome and process things if I just give myself the time to cry or be angry instead of distracting myself. Distracting myself just leads to me feeling built-up and unregulated which causes my emotional reaction to be worse than it would've been beforehand. Coping strategies and ways of processing emotions/events differs hugely from person to person. I think having this realisation about how I process things has also made me understand why therapy did not work for me when I was a teenager.

True, but he's there in a professional capacity. The only issue she has that he can professionally treat is her Chlamydia. He's not trained to help her with the trauma she has, so she really should have a good reason why she wants an MD and not a psychiatrist to treat her. If she wants to just talk, surely she has friends and relatives for that. He could have been treating patients whom he's actually qualified to help. This isn't just an "I don't know why I like to sleep in this position or why I like the color red.", something more mundane.

[@sorrowandsufferin924]

House's insistence on not caring about people makes him perhaps the best in the world in differentiating between who you are and what happened to you. Because he wants to care only about what happened, not at all about who you are. In doing that, he's the only one who treats her exactly as he would in any other situation. He's a glimpse of normalcy to her - the thing that's affecting her every moment is irrelevant when she's talking to House. It affects her treatment, not her person. It's a reprieve from her experience, like an oasis in the desert.

Foreman is usually the one saying & doing the worst things while pretending he has the moral high ground over everyone else. The series ends with him in Cuddy's position, running the hospital, about as bad a job as he can do. Then again, despite Cuddy hiring House & often insisting he's a super-genius, she was often belittling his actions, going behind his back to prevent him from doing his job & playing it safe. TV shows generally do this- treat the main character like a renegade, treat everyone who disagrees with him as if they have some moral superiority yet in the end the main character ends up in the right, everyone else looks like a fool, but no one learns anything so repeat again in the next episode.

That's actually the worst advice that you can give to any victim of trauma. You wouldn't try to heal an open wound by pretending it isn't there, would you? Of course, you wouldn't because #1, you can't because they pain is still there to remind you that it's there and #2, it would get infected if you don't take proper care of it.

What I love most about this episode is that even though House is usually an ass to everyone around him even his team, he still cares for them.

[@paulwade4058]

She’s wielding power over him. Knowing his job requires him to acquiesce to her frankly unusual requests. She also wants to dominate the time of the most valuable doctor at the hospital just to “talk”.

[@usualsuspects42]

Well, at least she is advocating for herself by asking for what she senses could give her the best chance of recovery. That is what the healing profession is supposed to be about - not about getting in line and not asking for what you actually need and passively taking whatever "help" you are given even if it's not what will work for you and you know it. Oh, yes, he's a very busy and important doctor, let's not have an actual patient in actual need actually ask for what they need from those who are tasked with facilitating healing. How dare she "waste his valuable time".

[@kirkbrooks9447]

In a world where very few people are blatantly honest, House was always straight up truthful. And there's a certain amount of trustworthiness that comes with that.

[@Rorschachqp]

I really like this title where you state the name of the Guest Star actor.

"Doing things changes things, Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were." The hardest pill to swallow in this day and age.

Cuddy, Wilson, Cameron, etc.: "How could Dr. House have so little care for his patients??!!!! D: Dr. House: *Nearly falls on his face to help a patient*

Katheryn Winnick is so beautiful

[@RiniDiamandis]

"im graping you?" LMAOOO why was that so funny

[@kentnilsson465]

This was a really good episode

[@TakaluKevin]

The range of emotions and such quick transition is just astonishing. The script helped but she put the cherry on top.

[@taffydavis471]

I think she wants him to treat her because he’s not interested in her. She’s a beautiful woman, she probably gets hit on a lot by men, and obviously because of the R she doesn’t trust others, but because he treats her with indifference she feels probably comfortable/safe, because she knows he isn’t going to harm her

[@Kendopilor1992]

Nice to see he still plays with the psp

[@modvavet]

Holy crap, I didn't know who Katheryn Winnick was until way afterward and never put this together. She's fantastic.

[@pjeffries301]

She represents House's inner child. He is talking to himself throughout the episode. Abuse, in all forms, is terrible. Great writing.

[@nemo227]

I can understand her and I'm an old man who has never been involved with such trauma. Trust is a major factor in a doctor/patient relationship. Major.

[@wilhelmscream6919]

Time dilutes things, i guess :D any one experience becomes a smaller and smaller part of the whole as the whole increases. Not to mention the distance in time from said experience.

[@Mutineer9]

That may be true most of the time. But now I am old, I remember me 6 years old as yesterday. Cliche but true.

[@wilhelmscream6919]

@@Mutineer9 Well i'm talking based on a sample size of one 35 year old so not really a universal truth :D

[@misenplace8442]

I have the complete series at my fingertips, so...why do I watch the "shorts" & be completely enthralled?

[@-_Haider_-]

It's a crime that this series never won an Emmy

[@richhooven721]

I would listen to Lagertha all day! Lol

[@Jahman071]

My fav episode!! It's just so good.

[@Randoom101]

This was one of the best episodes, really good acting on her part

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

2:18 What i love the most is that she has no fucking clue of who he is, and misinterpret him, she also doesnt know how antisocial he is. This can end VERY BADLY

[@robsprocket]

She's on a heart monitor he has no need to check her pulse...it's a test of trust.

[@lolamagenta]

Legertha is amazing. She plays emotion so well. Sorry, (Katheryn Winnick) aka Lagertha

[@stephenwillis6937]

It's a cry for help not a legitimate suicide attempt. She did it in a hospital where She knew there would be immediate action taken. There was no need to cuff Her to the bed or have Her on a Suicide watch.

[@Fivestar5000]

Lmfao

[@SuperSayinSolidSnek]

Lololol. What's the hospital's excuse when she does the same thing again and dies? Even if something's a cry for help you still have to accept the consequences for your actions

[@Outlaw7263]

It's standard protocol.

[@mohammed22223]

One of the most cases I have ever loved in dr. House .

[@عبدالحميدبدير-غ1خ]

Great and meaningful performance and for the first time I know that the phrase I don't know is in itself a sufficient answer to a question.

Even though she went through a very traumatic thing in her life, she wants to help the pain she sees in him.

[@Nir_Vaal]

Video released 6 days ago and im just getting the notification

[@hardcoreocealot]

I KNEW IT!!!!! Katheryn Winnick is a immortal

[@mecongberlin]

I really like her natural powers and passion when she is acting. Bit like the early Anna Torv.

[@kevonslims7269]

The way she lowered her voice andsaid “ why dose there have to be a reason”.

[@joncarr1200]

Logic meets emotion. This is a great episode.

[@robpolaris7272]

Katheryn Winnick was so incredible in this part. It was painful to watch but her and Hugh Laurie were well matched. I assumed she trusted House because she recognized he was damaged even if she wasn’t fully aware of the reason.

[@veronika829]

I absolutely forgot it was Katheryn, the acting in this episode was superb

[@jacobchristensen6235]

Misery loves company. If misery sees misery they wonder what justify them to keep going and what tools to use. I know, I have seen kids (9-13 years old) trying trying to comit suicide only wanted to talk with me because they see my suffering.

[@juliem6696]

Fantastic show and this is probably the best episode.

[@manugamer9984]

I remember this same stubbornness from a close relative: no matter how hard I tried, he couldn’t even begin to comprehend the importance of talking. “You act with facts, not words”: one who really doesn’t understand the importance of speech

[@PickledShark]

She wanted to talk to him because his name is House in the show called House. There, you’re welcome. 🍻

[@SweetTea2]

Katheryn Winnick is an amazing actor ❤ loved her in Vikings and she was also in an episode of Law & Order

[@abcd3fgh1jklmn0pqrstuvwxyz]

She really played this part well
