One of the few times House said "good for you" to a patient. Primarily for finally being honest with him.

[@AvarageOhioan]

i- this is wild. i didnt watch the video all the way and went to sleep yesterday, i read this comment and continued watching this right?. the FIRST THING HE SAID WAS "good for you" i have never seen such perfect timing in my entire life.

[@AvarageOhioan]

like, imagine reading "good for you" and starting the video and he says "good for you" im baffled rn.

​@@poopshitcrapwaste true, but not many of us have it made like others do with the life we've been given. But have start adulthood at very young age, & most of us at an older age because we couldn't catch on when we was younger. Patient here never got a fair chance and that's life 😢

[@newbirth35]

Right. I’d throw up on the floor.

[@RealCoolstriker64]

2:40 I appreciate him saying "If I'm right, he'll still be alive." Indicating that he believes his joke is about an un-serious situation. It's house so it's obviously gonna escalate from here, but at least he isn't toying with something he THINKS is dangerous...

[@mcaloogravy]

[@StewyAdamRules]

I can’t imagine the stress of being barely an adult and suddenness having the responsibility of two kids. He has an impossible choice and Foreman is just trying to make him feel guilty.

[@thecabbageman1]

He should feel guilty. He's compromising his own health, retraumatizing his siblings and making them lose the last family member they have. If he can't handle the responsibility, he should take the treatment, then relinquish custody after talking to them about it and taking steps to make it easier. He took the coward's way out.

[@jazzyje5ter223]

@@thecabbageman1wow you are unbelievably harsh on a fake person lmao. But to play your game, he’s a kid. A kid raising 2 other kids is incredibly stressful and such a huge commitment. He doesn’t want to feel guilty for not being able to support his brother and sister, he doesn’t want to continue being stressed day in and day out for the next 10 years dealing with everything his parents should have dealt with, he wants his brother and sister to be okay and not in a group home or have them get split up, etc. A kid dealing with all these emotions while being sick in the hospital obviously isn’t going to be thinking 100% rationally. Many adults wouldn’t be able to think rationally at first either, which is evident because the boys parents left. The parents were so stressed they abandoned their children. It’s not this kids fault he’s tired. He just needs help and support which forearm offered with rational thinking and solutions to some of the kids problems.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

​@@jazzyje5ter223Being fictional isn't the issue. Such situations exist in reality. That's the point.

[@dangeary2134]

The best case would be to ask his siblings who they want to raise them. It would hurt anyone to ask a younger brother or sister to help save themselves. The other side of that would be that they have an older brother that would be raising them “by hand” over someone that did not share their values doing it. It’s a tough decision.

[@jessicaolson490]

It's not that tough actually. It doesn't actually take surgery for bone marrow. Maybe it was still only the old-fashioned way back when this episode aired, but nowadays they can literally filter out what they need from your blood. So no worse than donating blood. But even the old fashioned method it wasn't like removing a kidney. It involved a painful procedure but that's what medication is for.

[@SnowPink90]

@@jessicaolson490 With the old way didn’t they have to screw into your bone marrow and take some out and then you get stitched back up again. Then they tested the bone marrow to see if it’s a match? I know when I had double pneumonia they wanted to do it to me and I wouldn’t let them because I had seen it done and there was just no way I was gonna have that done to me. I like the new way a lot better.

[@jazzyje5ter223]

@@jessicaolson490you missed the point completely lmao. The tough decision isn’t the bone marrow procedure it’s the burden placed on a kid asking him to raise 2 other kids

[@Solararisa]

Foreman shaming an 18 who lost both his parents for not taking "care" of his siblings is definitely something. Anyways, I am more curious how he is going to pay the bills.

[@ToHonorKnowledge]

“Put your ear above your head” would have been a perfect line

[@rushayhays7524]

It’s dumb that Foreman is shaming that teenager for not taking care of his siblings. It’s not like he would lose the right to visit and check up on his siblings if they were in foster care, and that would take a lot of the pressure off of that kid so he could focus on getting his own life straightened out/ in a better situation.

[@Izabela-ek5nh]

He wouldn't lose the right but the ability, being more and more sick.

[@crisdlcruz145]

Ah children living in bubbles A lot of scary nasty stuff happens in foster homes state run programs tend to be awful

[@dars5229]

I think he's projecting. His own older brother is a criminal and Foreman resents him for not looking after him or their mother more.

[@jacoblesher453]

Kind of ironic considering foreman refused to visit his own brother in prison

[@sonicvids]

Foreman has this weird habit of being wrong about every single thing he ever does. Its kinda amazing how, as far as I know, he has never been right lmao

[@RemyDarling]

He's so young. He's so tired. He did what he could, but it wore him into the ground. He wasn't ready to become a parent. Foreman shouldn't have said that to him. Just because that's what you want to believe -- the poor kid lost his parents, was fighting for his life and is taking on the responsibility of his siblings.

[@victorascencio9938]

As a Doctor, Foreman probably knows what Foster homes are like. He's gonna visit them, if they even stay together, and see that all 3 being miserable is 100x worse than only him.

[@RemyDarling]

@@victorascencio9938 I know the foster system sucks, but he is broken. He was run into the ground. Some choices aren't easy. He needed an out so badly he MADE it for himself. He got it, and he took it. It sucks, but human survival is a selfish, solo thing. In order for him to survive, he had to let go.

I wish they showed the medical bills the survivors of these episodes had to face after being "saved". Nothing like crippling debt and the joys of that anxiety/stress to live with for the rest of your life to be "thankful" for being "saved" 😂

[@yeckiLP]

I'll make an assumption that they planned for international audiences to an extend, most of the rest of the developed world has figured out that those bills are counterproductive to psychological health which is a fairly heavy influence on overall health. That rest of the world couldn't really sympathize with medical bills that bad and perhaps didn't want to make people think on the cost they incur on whatever healthcare system they use to avoid the really great freedom of not wanting to seek professional help because they will ruin their financial life because of it. ..a .. sorry for shooting the messenger, looking back your comment already supports the view that that system is flawed.

On the one hand, it's good that everyone didn't lose focus & concentrated on the patient. However, it might have been interesting to question the little brother at some point regarding how he knew about the arm bleeding behind him 3:48 (Did none of the actors or crew come up with another way to do this? Like have him hop down to see why the back of his shirt was getting wet.)

[@leannemori9688]

That's what I wanted to know

[@tonyravioli1982]

He probably looked down to the left after feeling it or something.

[@echognomecal6742]

@@tonyravioli1982 If that's where it was, yeah, but it's quite literally behind his back. (The patients fingers are visible at the time mark, showing the position.) As far as feeling it, that's why I said "have him hop down to see why the back of his shirt was getting wet." At 3:51, the blood is still contained & only starts to flow at 3:52 after arm is raised. So that doesn't even work. Shmear it around, have the kid say, "Hey" & tug at his shirt as he hops down. Everyone looks over. Problem solved.

How will he pay for this?

[@VRIceblast]

He had a job he hated, and he took on too much pressure trying to be a parent. Those kids were pretty mature. They would have done fine without him having to be perfect. He only needed to get money, to pay the bills, and put food on the table, and those kids would have taking care of themselves for the most part. He should have switched to another job, or maybe moved to a low cost of living state, where it would have been much easier to juggle all those things. He could have got a job easily delivering pizza, almost anywhere, as long a he had a car. You can make decent money doing that. Maybe try to buy a small trailer. Something he can pay off quickly, and once he manages that, it will all be a lot easier. When this aired, he could probably manage that, but today, with the cost of everything house related sky high, maybe not. Move to low cost of living state, and get on as many gov't benefits as he can to help limit the bills, and put all his focus on trying to pay off the Mortgage on the smallest place for the money.

[@tonyravioli1982]

Nope.

[@gambleaway8252]

Horrible take

[@jessicaolson490]

It's a good example of why all parents should have life insurance. It should also be in a trust so that somebody is over seeing the money and making sure it's not wasted. But being used to pay for the cost of raising the children, whether it's an 18-year-old sibling or another family member.
