Fun fact: This episode saved life od 33 years old woman form Poland. She gain 18 kg in 6 months and no doctor was able to diagnosed her (she had other symphtoms too) One day Małgorzata saw this episode and understood that she has Cushing. Sad thing is that she went to many doctors after that and no one belived her that she has Cushing (doctors in Poland hate when patient is diagnosing herself) Even specialist in Cushing dissese. Even specialist in Cushing dissese told her to eat less. Finally, she belived that she don't have Cushing and that she is fat because she eat too much. One day she went to the doctor prof. Grzegorz Zieliński and he diagnosed her with Cushing. Right after meeting with doctor she was scheduled operation. Now she is fine :) (sorry for my english, hope you understad the story)

How can someone "insult laziness" ? It's not a quality, it's a flaw, and a very very big one, he was not insulting but throwing facts in the face of evebody, and it was nothing more than what we all think about fat people, if that fact insult someone them they are just trying to justify theyr own laziness trying to act like it's ok to deform yourself eating like an elephant.

My mom had Cushing’s disease. At her biggest she was around 400lbs. It’s shameful how many doctors wouldn’t listen to her when she told them there was something wrong. No amount of diet or exercise helped her lose weight. She had high blood pressure, loss of bone density, the classic hump on her upper back/neck, debilitating migraines, and mood swings. She fell into a deep depression when she was sick and I honestly don’t know how she did it. If we went out to eat people would look at her so disgusted. It took 2 surgeries to remove the entire tumor she had on her pituitary gland. She’s much better now but is on so many medications still.

But at the end of the day, it’s their body and they should know how much they can eat before they start getting fat. Fat is unused calories. Eat less and you’re body wont make fat. Its a pretty simple concept. And if you want to eat more, then you need to do physical work to use the extra calories.

And the heart was malfunctioning was due to her putting him on medication that could not be taken together. The mix of medication she put him on either caused, or exacerbated any preexisting heart conditions.

YE SHALL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SYSTEM WHILE I STAND HERE, YOU DISGUSTING LOSER FREAK!!! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go charge 1-3k to your insurance for the 8th time you’ve come here, because the 5 minutes I’ve spent mocking you for the 8th time is worth is.” I literally had a doctor walk in (I was freaking out because I had my period 3 times in a month’s span.) take one single look (you know where) and said aloud “Oh, you’re just fat.” And walked out. I didn’t see her the rest of the appointment. I was forbidden from taking any tests to see what may be the issue. It was the only time I ever had so many periods so quick, I may be sterile now, I don’t know and my mental state sucks so much I’m not going to go pay those freaks to confirm and then screw my mental state forever. That is only one of many incidents that have happened in my attempts to get help. So sorry, I don’t think kindly of doctors being stubborn and refusing to do any treatments because they think they can read your entire life by starring at your mid section. I think any who does so should be fired and blacklisted.

Even when House comes up with a crazy theory that the team finds 'impossible', they don't call him crazy or threaten to stop him, they just listen through his explanation and are willing to go with it after hearing his explanation.

Her believe that an obese 10 year old looks fantastic means her child would have died as a child from a brain tumour

[@saneelat.7684]

​@@Artbug I would look at the basic humanity in this issue. Yes, we could sit here an make the argument that if her mother did not bring her in to the doctor to evaluate her child's health, then yes, her child would have eventually died. But, the mother did bring her child in to see the doctor, did she not? She did do what she could to help her daughter, did she not? Producing productive and essential care to one's child is a lot more nuanced and complicated then one simple youtube comment could even comprehend. Weight and health are a lot more complicated issues as well... Shaming someone for their weight will ultimately most likely not help them to feel motivated to live their healthiest or most fulfilling lives ... it will ultimately make them go into an extremely depressive and isolating state .... Would you rather her mother say something different in that moment, like, "he's right, you do look fantastic ... now" ? I genuinely appreciated the mother's comment ...

@@saneelat.7684 Weight is complex, but losing weight isn't that complicated. Bottom line for the vast majority of people to lose weight, (not necessarily be healthy, live your best life, etc), you just need to have a caloric deficit. If you put in more energy than your body can burn, you gain weight. Don't buy into all those fad diets and all that other garbage. That's really it. Start counting your calories and you'll be able to adjust to get to the weight you want to get to. That doesn't make it easy. It takes willpower to fight your base urges and make those lifestyle changes required to lose your weight. It just isn't complicated.

[@OatmealTheCrazy]

@@Sapperbounded sadly no, your body already has the ability to get rid of any calories it doesn't need if the hormonal conditions aren't telling it to store fat. Basically everyone can do this and does except in extreme cases What helps more is getting in diets/eating schedules that promote fat burning over ghrelin release. People who are heavily obese in a realistic sense should have almost no reason to be hungry, they're carrying all the food they ever need on them all the time, but the body isn't set up to actually use it usually from insulin

I just got diagnosed with a pituitary tumor which affects hormone levels causing weight gain and symptoms of menopause.....I gained 114 lbs over 6 months. Kept insisting something was wrong......I have hyperprolactemia w/pituitary tumor. Push your drs to delve deeper into what’s wrong.....don’t treat the symptoms find the source

I love how house tries to hide it but he really do care about people's and that's why he was standing there looking at her and trying to think alternative ways to not have her life ruined.

"Her mom's heavy too" Boy, the 2000s were insane

[@branlopgar]

No. The 2020s are insane. The 2000s might have been the last "sane" decade we'll see.

[@etunpeudevitriol]

@@branlopgar Ok? Read between the lines, I was commenting on how fatphobic the decade was. (Insanely so.) The perception of weight was so skewed that the character referred to as "heavy" in the quote is played by an actress who isn't even close to fat.

​@@etunpeudevitriolOnly whiney SJW Millennials go around saying "fatphobic" 🙄

You can see the love in Jessica mum’s eyes and the way she tilted her head towards her at the end🥰

I love watching the gears turn in House's head. I work on production lines at my work, and as one of the senior guys, I'm often called over to help diagnose and fix problems with said lines. Whenever I get stumped by something that's not obvious, I go into House mode and get those gears moving. It becomes a challenge to solve the problem.

The moment they start discussing possible diagnosis that intensity of the scenes rises ! Goosebumps

One of the rare episodes where no one got a random epiphany.

Chase making House a cup of coffee really amuses me, like he'll remember that and take it into account when deciding who to fire.
