1 00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:11,074 This is a really nice room. 2 00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:13,442 Yeah, it sounds thick. Too bad he's not coming. 3 00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:16,573 Look, I talked to him myself. He'll be here. Right. 4 00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:20,745 You're the one who said that the song could use a horn part, so I got the best-- John Henry. 5 00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,051 You think I'm stupid? Ofcourse I do, but that's not the point. 6 00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:26,058 He'll be here, okay? 7 00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,997 Take a left up ahead. 8 00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:39,266 South Street? I canceled this gig. 9 00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:41,773 You said you didn't want to do any sessions for a while. 10 00:00:41,841 --> 00:00:44,810 For a while. I called her. I uncanceled it. 11 00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:48,905 - Are you up to it? - Let's find out. 12 00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:53,142 # You lied to me # 13 00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:57,246 # John Henry's never gonna show up ## Will you stop? 14 00:00:57,323 --> 00:01:01,020 It's been, like, two hours. And we will keep waiting. 15 00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:03,528 You've heard this guy play, and you know what he does, 16 00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:06,087 so can you just shut up, Tommy? 17 00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:11,800 - Oh, my God. - Am I late? 18 00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:24,183 You need to hear it again? Nope. I get it. 19 00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,413 Let's try one. See what we get. Let's do it. 20 00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:02,618 John! You okay? 21 00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:06,285 You okay? I can't breathe. I can't breathe. 22 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:08,953 Call an ambulance! 23 00:02:09,028 --> 00:02:11,326 Now! 24 00:02:57,043 --> 00:02:58,943 I want in. 25 00:03:00,813 --> 00:03:03,839 - John Henry Giles? You a fan of his music? - He's a musician? 26 00:03:04,984 --> 00:03:08,385 That paralysis thing-- Guy can't walk for two years. 27 00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:10,922 Nobody knows why. It seems mildly interesting. 28 00:03:10,990 --> 00:03:14,153 - Forget his paralysis. - Tell that to the rest of his bowling team. 29 00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:17,993 As far as this hospital is concerned, this is a simple case of lobar pneumonia. 30 00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:21,329 - Boring. - But that not-walking thing-- That could turn into something serious. 31 00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:26,964 Marty Hamilton is his primary physician out in California. He's dealing with the paralysis. 32 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,804 Know all about it. Multiple treatments, multiple surgeries-- 33 00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:32,344 He's making real progress. Fixed everything but the legs. 34 00:03:32,412 --> 00:03:34,937 Dr. Hamilton already called and asked for your team. 35 00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:38,506 And by team, I don't mean you. 36 00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:40,746 Like I always say, there's no "I" in team. 37 00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:43,311 There is a "me" though, if you jumble it up. 38 00:03:44,591 --> 00:03:46,582 Foreman did his residency with Hamilton. 39 00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:49,787 I know. I accidentally glanced at his résumé before I hired him. 40 00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,887 He wants someone he can trust. 41 00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,899 He must've spoken to Foreman's parole officer. 42 00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:56,401 Someone who will stick to the pneumonia. 43 00:03:56,469 --> 00:04:00,132 John Henry's on an experimental protocol for the paralysis. I respect that. 44 00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:03,835 I'm not gonna get in his way. It's Foreman's case. 45 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:06,071 It's pneumonia. He can handle it. 46 00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:08,807 Guy's already paralyzed. How badly can he screw it up? 47 00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,364 So, 48 00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:29,333 - what are his sats? - Staying in the 90s on the nasal cannula. 49 00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:32,337 - Coughing up sputum? - Almost none. He seems stabilized. 50 00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:36,239 - Dr. House, is there anything back from micro? - Not yet. You gonna fire me? 51 00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:39,870 - You can make up for it by washing my car. - Oh, this is fun. 52 00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:42,346 Okay. Let's keep him on the broad-spectrum antibiotics. 53 00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:44,679 And since he's displaying septic physiology, 54 00:04:44,751 --> 00:04:47,845 draw blood for adrenal and thyroid function. 55 00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:52,420 - What about the paralysis? - We're sticking to the pneumonia. 56 00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:56,258 Well, you certainly are, boss, like a wet tongue sticks to dry ice. 57 00:04:56,329 --> 00:04:58,957 The paralysis has already been diagnosed by Dr. Hamilton. 58 00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:01,398 - It's A.L.S. - Lou Gehrig's disease. 59 00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:04,129 It's a lovely diagnosis. They make movies about it. 60 00:05:04,203 --> 00:05:07,104 No tests, no treatment-- It's a disease of exclusion. 61 00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:09,971 - Because Hamilton has excluded everything else. - I haven't. 62 00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:17,306 What else could it be? 63 00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:20,045 - Guillain-Barré, which would be reversible. - Excellent. 64 00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:24,249 No. The progression of the paralysis would be symmetric. His wasn't. 65 00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,952 - Transverse myelitis. - Hamilton tested for it. Negative. 66 00:05:27,026 --> 00:05:29,324 And he was negative for masses and A.V.M.-- 67 00:05:29,395 --> 00:05:33,297 - Antibodies could be attacking the nerves. Multifocal motor neuropathy. - Uncommon, but it fits. 68 00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:36,858 It's also treatable. Did Hamilton try putting the guy on I.V.I.G.? 69 00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:40,337 - No, because the M.R.I. showed no-- - Well, let's do an M.R.I. of our own. 70 00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:46,311 Guys, it's my case. 71 00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:52,417 A.L.S. fits. It even predicts the pneumonia. The paralysis is progressive. 72 00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:56,785 It's a death sentence. That doesn't make it wrong. 73 00:06:15,241 --> 00:06:17,835 So you think the breathing stuff is connected to my A.L.S.? 74 00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,003 It makes sense. 75 00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:24,272 So it's just gonna get worse, huh? 76 00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:26,284 - Well, Dr. Hamilton-- - Great guy. 77 00:06:26,352 --> 00:06:30,015 Really smart doctor, and his treatment obviously isn't working. 78 00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,991 Do you think I'm gonna die here, or you think I get to go back home first? 79 00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:40,396 An M.R.I. would give us a better idea-- Oh, an M.R.I. Come on. For pneumonia? 80 00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:42,832 Dr. House thinks we should test for other-- House? 81 00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:47,032 Yeah, I heard about him. Obsessive son of a bitch? That's him. 82 00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:52,300 So who do you think is right, Hamilton or House? 83 00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:54,676 Hey, they're both excellent physicians. 84 00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:56,681 Come on. 85 00:06:56,749 --> 00:07:00,378 One of 'em says A.L.S. The other one says not A.L.S. 86 00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:02,387 You gotta pick one, son. 87 00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:05,822 Everything points to A.L.S. 88 00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:08,417 Then no M.R.I. 89 00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:17,599 And I want one of them papers that say, uh, I don't want nothing done if something go bad. 90 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:21,504 A D.N.R.? Mr. Giles, you don't want to rush into-- 91 00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:25,066 It's been two years. I ain't rushin'. I want to sign one. 92 00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:28,904 Now. 93 00:07:30,082 --> 00:07:32,073 While my arm still works. 94 00:07:57,443 --> 00:07:59,206 He signed a D.N.R. 95 00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:04,110 He rhymes with dinner? 96 00:08:04,183 --> 00:08:06,743 He signed a D.N.R. 97 00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:09,879 Oh. That makes more sense. 98 00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:13,915 - You tell him it might not be A.L.S.? - No. 99 00:08:15,294 --> 00:08:17,285 Well, no wonder he signed. Who wouldn't? 100 00:08:17,363 --> 00:08:20,389 I started him on I.V. steroids and Synthroid. 101 00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:25,130 Great. If it was my case, I'd be adding a little I.V.I.G. to the mix. 102 00:08:25,204 --> 00:08:28,731 - For his pneumonia? - That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 103 00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:32,573 He doesn't want anything done. No treatment. 104 00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:38,174 D.N.R. means "Do not resuscitate", not "Do not treat". 105 00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:41,379 You do nothing, doesn't matter which one of us is right. 106 00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:46,124 And hang on to that D.N.R. 107 00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:48,592 That signature could be worth a lot of money real soon. 108 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:59,269 This is Dr. Foreman. What is Mr. Giles's status? 109 00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:02,774 Okay. Increase the steroids to 100 milligrams every 12 hours and, uh-- 110 00:09:02,842 --> 00:09:06,005 start him on I.V.I.G. 111 00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:08,603 Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. One gram per kilo. 112 00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:12,708 My nature isn't what it used to be. 113 00:09:12,785 --> 00:09:15,117 The little man has lost some bounce in his step. 114 00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:19,385 He needs to crank it up, have himself some fun this weekend. 115 00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:23,827 He wants the blue pills. You're taking about your penis in the third person. 116 00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:26,126 Me and him-- two people. 117 00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:29,326 Separate vacations? That'd be a drag for one of you. 118 00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:33,463 I don't think you need the pills. I think you have a conflict in medications. 119 00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:38,238 - You need to up your insulin to chocolate chip ice-cream levels. - Insulin? 120 00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:40,973 Yeah. You remember. That's the stuff you take for the diabetes... 121 00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:43,481 that you forgot to tell the nurse about. 122 00:09:43,549 --> 00:09:46,211 Your hands-- 123 00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:49,345 No hair, which means nerve damage. 124 00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:53,654 And your shoes look about two sizes too small, which means you've lost sensation in your feet. 125 00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:55,557 And then there's your pants. 126 00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:59,189 My pants tell you I have diabetes? No. They tell me you're an idiot. 127 00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:02,894 Powdered sugar on the right pant leg. 128 00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:04,834 Based on the two napkins in your pocket-- 129 00:10:04,904 --> 00:10:07,600 I'd bet it's not your first doughnut of the day. 130 00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:19,710 You're giving me the pills? Sure. Why not? 131 00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:23,118 If you've got heart disease from ignoring the diabetes, they'll kill you. 132 00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:26,717 Otherwise, you two have a fun weekend. 133 00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:37,302 O2 sats are dropping. 134 00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:38,962 - Breath sounds? - Junky. 135 00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:40,801 Mucus plug? No, it's our mistake. 136 00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:43,239 Sludging from the I. V.I.G. Blood can't get to his lungs. 137 00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:46,608 Start heparin-- 500 c.c.'s I.V. push. He won't last long enough for it to work. 138 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,045 We've got to intubate him stat. 139 00:10:49,115 --> 00:10:51,481 We can't. He's D.N.R. 140 00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,484 What? 141 00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:03,695 Someone likes music. Oh, yeah. 142 00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:12,932 - His sats are in the 70s. How long's he been like this? - Ten minutes. 143 00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,473 - Why aren't you-- - The I.V.I.G. put him in respiratory failure. 144 00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:17,975 - You put him on I.V.I.G.? - We did this. 145 00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:20,569 So undo it. Chase? 146 00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:23,342 - It's too late. We killed him. - Nobody killed him. He's not dead. 147 00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:26,180 - Chase, intubate him. - He's D.N.R. 148 00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:38,864 What are you doin'? 149 00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:46,464 You can't do this! 150 00:11:47,606 --> 00:11:50,336 - Bag. - You can't do this. 151 00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:52,536 Bag! 152 00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:02,112 He had a bad reaction to some medicine we gave him. 153 00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:05,021 What did you just do? 154 00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:08,052 He saved his life. 155 00:12:22,641 --> 00:12:25,132 He's stable on the ventilator, oxygenating well. 156 00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:27,543 The I.V.I.G. made him worse, 157 00:12:27,613 --> 00:12:31,071 which means multifocal motor neuropathy was a bad diagnosis. 158 00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:33,812 Okay, what's really wrong with him? What's wrong with you? 159 00:12:33,886 --> 00:12:36,821 Everyone knows what's wrong with me. What's wrong with him is more interesting. 160 00:12:36,889 --> 00:12:40,985 You tubed him, and he didn't want to be tubed. He has a legal paper saying just that. 161 00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:44,223 To intubate or not to intubate-- That is the big ethical question. 162 00:12:44,296 --> 00:12:47,561 Actually, I was hoping we could avoid it and maybe just practice some medicine. 163 00:12:47,633 --> 00:12:50,329 There is no question. It's the patient's decision. 164 00:12:50,402 --> 00:12:52,336 If the patient is competent to make it. 165 00:12:52,404 --> 00:12:56,033 - If his thyroid numbers aren't making him sad. - Oh, my God. You don't believe that. 166 00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:59,908 - His thyroid levels were a little-- - It's nothing. Do not defend him! 167 00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:02,709 - Why did he sign that D.N.R.? - I-I didn't talk him into-- 168 00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:07,048 No. He signed the D.N.R. 'cause he didn't want a slow, painful death from A.L.S. 169 00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:10,577 - What was happening had nothing to do with his A.L.S. - Exactly! It's the I.V.I.G. 170 00:13:10,656 --> 00:13:14,888 You screwed up! You're not gonna let him die because you screwed up. 171 00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:18,653 Technically, your case. You screwed up. 172 00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:22,360 - Is that what this is about-- looking bad in front of your old boss? 173 00:13:22,434 --> 00:13:25,198 You assaulted that man. Fine. I'll never do it again. 174 00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:27,603 Yes, you will. All the more reason this debate is pointless. 175 00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:37,247 His lungs are worse. Any theories? 176 00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:41,343 Oh, I'm sure he just went to the little boys' room. Come on, people. 177 00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:44,787 - Um, vasculitis? - Wouldn't likely hit both lungs. 178 00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:47,587 It could be Wegener's granulomatosis. 179 00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,595 Dr. House? 180 00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,530 Cuddy sent me a stripper again? 181 00:13:53,599 --> 00:13:55,794 Love that woman. So thoughtful. 182 00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:57,597 Sorry. 183 00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:02,770 There are case reports of Wegener's hitting both the lungs and the spine. 184 00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:06,369 Well, it's not great, but it's better than A.L.S. At least it's treatable. 185 00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:09,710 It's a restraining order. You're not to come within 50 feet of John Henry Giles, 186 00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:12,580 and they've asked the D.A. to file criminal charges for battery. 187 00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,516 Cameron, test the blood for C-ANCA. 188 00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:21,082 These are criminal charges. They're not gonna let you take blood to make more tests. 189 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,993 He has blood left in the lab. Just add on the C-ANCA. 190 00:14:24,063 --> 00:14:27,794 - Foreman still got you doing bronchoscopic suctioning for the pneumonia? - Every four hours. 191 00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:32,634 Well, while you're down in his lungs, grab a biopsy. We'll need it to confirm Wegener's. 192 00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:35,401 - And move the patient to the second floor I.C.U. - Why? 193 00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:39,103 It's right above the clinic. I'm pretty sure it's 50 feet in any direction. 194 00:14:40,179 --> 00:14:43,114 It's nice having a court order saying you don't have to work clinic duty. 195 00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,993 Dr. Cuddy! Excuse me. 196 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,331 You paged me. Why the yelling? 197 00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:11,069 His bed is behind that wall-- the plaintiff's. 198 00:15:11,143 --> 00:15:13,304 I can't, you know, come any closer. 199 00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:17,275 It's right over the clinic. Very cute. 200 00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:20,216 Can we get the lecture over with 'cause I've gotta-- 201 00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,687 Actually, I've got nothing to do. Take your time. 202 00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:26,350 You need a lawyer? 203 00:15:26,425 --> 00:15:28,916 You don't have a problem with what I did? 204 00:15:28,994 --> 00:15:34,762 When I hired you, I knew you were insane. I will continue to try and stop you from doing insane things. 205 00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:36,994 But once they're done, 206 00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:42,530 trying to convince an insane person not to do insane things is in itself insane. 207 00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:45,975 So when I hired you, I also set aside $50,000 a year for legal expenses. 208 00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:50,140 So far you've come in under budget. 209 00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:53,981 Great. Any chance you could help me run some tests? 210 00:15:54,053 --> 00:15:56,681 Dr. Foreman called Dr. Hamilton. 211 00:15:56,755 --> 00:16:00,589 He's flying in from L.A. You can talk to him. 212 00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:04,993 Dr. Hamilton is flying in as a friend of John Henry's... 213 00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:08,156 to pull the plug. 214 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:15,162 Yeah. I need a lawyer. 215 00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:21,913 Your Honor, on behalf of Gregory House, 216 00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,506 we have convened an emergency session of this court... 217 00:16:24,583 --> 00:16:28,747 to bring a motion requesting that John Henry Giles remain on life support. 218 00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:32,951 Mr. House faces criminal charges for battery against... 219 00:16:34,093 --> 00:16:36,288 John Henry Giles. 220 00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:38,353 You beat up a guy in a wheelchair? 221 00:16:38,430 --> 00:16:44,369 Dr. House is alleged to have forced a tube down Mr. Giles's throat against his will. 222 00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:47,735 A medical tube, saving his life. 223 00:16:47,806 --> 00:16:50,707 Dr. House, please let your attorney speak for you. 224 00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:55,745 I'm sorry, Your Honor. I was way out of line. 225 00:16:57,182 --> 00:17:02,051 So, uh, your client forced the patient into this position, 226 00:17:02,121 --> 00:17:07,388 and now he wants a court order to force the patient to stay that way. 227 00:17:07,459 --> 00:17:11,156 Without the tube, there's a high likelihood that Mr. Giles will die. 228 00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:14,393 Well, I assume the patient knows that. He had a D.N.R. 229 00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:17,264 That's why your client is facing criminal charges, right? 230 00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:23,138 Exactly. And Mr. Giles's death will violate my client's Sixth Amendment right. 231 00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:28,145 His right to face his accuser. That's clever, huh? 232 00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:31,910 Your Honor, in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Hoselton, 233 00:17:31,984 --> 00:17:36,478 the Third District ruled that a defendant may not use that status to rule against-- 234 00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:38,420 Why are you doing this? 235 00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:40,788 It's not gonna keep you out of jail. No. 236 00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:46,024 Even if you win, the restraining order and battery charge stay in place, so what have you gained? 237 00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:47,531 Time. 238 00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:49,760 To diagnose him? You can't get near him. 239 00:17:49,835 --> 00:17:52,360 I don't want to be near him. 240 00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:56,374 Well, some doctors have the messiah complex. They need to save the world. 241 00:17:56,442 --> 00:17:59,536 You've got the Rubik's complex. You need to solve the puzzle. 242 00:17:59,611 --> 00:18:03,479 Are you done? Or do you have more references to 1980s' fads? 243 00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:06,313 I'm trying to listen to this. 244 00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,580 That D.N.R. may not be valid. 245 00:18:08,654 --> 00:18:12,385 The patient was suffering from depression brought on by a thyroid imbalance. 246 00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:15,052 The D.N.R. order was witnessed... 247 00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:19,120 by Dr. House's own staff, a-- a-- a Dr. Foreman. 248 00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:22,793 My staff are idiots. I'm sure you know what it's like, Your Honor. 249 00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:25,428 Sit down. 250 00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:31,870 The validity of the D.N.R. is a question of fact. 251 00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:35,675 Dr. House should have the opportunity to make his argument at a full trial. 252 00:18:35,747 --> 00:18:40,582 And this poor guy has got to stay on life support until we can schedule a trial. 253 00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,644 - Your Honor-- - Dr. House, 254 00:18:43,722 --> 00:18:46,987 I will hold you in contempt if you don't sit down. 255 00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:49,892 - I have a medical issue. - If it pertains to this case, your attorney-- 256 00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,863 It doesn't. 257 00:18:52,931 --> 00:18:55,399 Do you have any history of heart disease in your family? 258 00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:58,163 - Your Honor! - Your fingers-- 259 00:18:58,237 --> 00:19:00,705 They show signs of clubbing, which indicates a heart problem. 260 00:19:01,773 --> 00:19:05,607 Remember Bart Giamatti? Same thing-- Just dropped dead one day. 261 00:19:05,677 --> 00:19:09,044 - Please see your doctor. - He's admitted this isn't relevant. 262 00:19:09,114 --> 00:19:12,777 Can we get back to the motion? 263 00:19:12,851 --> 00:19:16,048 - Ofcourse. I-I'm sorry. - Your Honor, 264 00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:20,387 a person's right to control the treatment of their own body... 265 00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,189 is fundamental to understanding this case. 266 00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:26,891 A long line of cases, both federal and state, stand to-- 267 00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:30,901 Congratulations. Impressive legal argument. 268 00:19:30,969 --> 00:19:33,460 I watched Matlock last night. Say no more. 269 00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:36,872 I didn't notice any clubbing on the judge's fingers. Neither did I. 270 00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:38,933 So the family history thing-- 271 00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:41,479 Every family has some history of heart disease. 272 00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:43,481 And mental illness. 273 00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:51,149 Biopsy only shows inflammation. Start him on Cytoxan. 274 00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:53,817 You're diagnosing Wegener's based on a little inflammation? 275 00:19:53,892 --> 00:19:56,986 Well, unfortunately, I think we've exhausted all the tests we can do... 276 00:19:57,062 --> 00:20:00,554 in our capacity as the doctors that he doesn't want doing tests on him. Well, you don't-- 277 00:20:00,632 --> 00:20:04,329 We'll know I'm right if he starts walking. We can't do any more tests, but you want me to treat him? 278 00:20:04,403 --> 00:20:07,895 Medicine's in the pharmacy. Patient's immobilized in the I.C.U. 279 00:20:07,973 --> 00:20:10,635 Sounds like a simple geography problem. 280 00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:15,474 Are you asking us to jeopardize our medical licenses for this treatment? 281 00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:43,198 Can I help you? 282 00:20:43,275 --> 00:20:45,266 Uh, I'm Dr. House.

I'm Marty Hamilton, John Henry's doctor. 284 00:20:50,716 --> 00:20:52,650 We should talk. 285 00:20:56,021 --> 00:20:58,956 Appreciate any list of, uh, medications-- anything like that. 286 00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:01,686 I've started him on Cytoxan. 287 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,751 For Wegener's, right? 288 00:21:03,829 --> 00:21:05,888 Look, Greg. 289 00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:08,023 I checked you out, you know? 290 00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,467 I know you're a good doctor, and you have to appreciate that I'm a good doctor too. 291 00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:15,097 Why? Wegener's is one of the first things I looked for. 292 00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:17,903 The biopsy and the blood test were negative, just like yours. 293 00:21:17,976 --> 00:21:20,240 There's an error rate, Marty. 294 00:21:20,312 --> 00:21:22,371 And there's a time to let go. 295 00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:28,216 Look, I'm gonna take him off the ventilator, and John Henry's going to die. He's accepted that. 296 00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,882 Dr. Hamilton. Hey. 297 00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,255 How you doin'? Hey, how you doin'? 298 00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:37,762 - I'm sorry. I should have never put your patient on I.V.I.G. - It's not your fault, Eric. 299 00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:42,027 - No, it's mine, Eric. - That's not what I said. 300 00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:45,501 - Everybody asks about you out in L.A. - How's the old place doin'? 301 00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:47,765 Oh, this is wonderful. 302 00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:52,606 But before you guys break out the oil, I should point out that you can't pull the plug. I have a court order. 303 00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,013 You used to, but-- 304 00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:58,208 I have the right to face my accuser. Judge said so. 305 00:21:58,283 --> 00:22:02,515 Not if no one's accusing you. All the charges have been dropped. 306 00:22:09,194 --> 00:22:11,219 He doesn't have to die. 307 00:22:14,099 --> 00:22:16,033 It's not Wegener's. 308 00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:34,179 If it's Wegener's, his lungs won't be able to handle it. 309 00:22:34,252 --> 00:22:37,244 Soon as they pull that plug, he'll die. 310 00:22:37,322 --> 00:22:40,382 That's why they call it "pulling the plug". 311 00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:03,044 I'm gonna miss you. 312 00:23:39,951 --> 00:23:43,944 - He's still breathing. - His O2 sats are holding. 313 00:23:48,894 --> 00:23:52,728 - He's holding his own. - He's still breathing. 314 00:23:52,798 --> 00:23:54,732 It's not Wegener's. 315 00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:05,641 Wrong again. 316 00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:11,741 He's stable, but one of his arms is now paralyzed. 317 00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:14,547 The real question is, why is he still alive? 318 00:24:14,619 --> 00:24:16,883 Do you think he's just being stubborn? 319 00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,617 He's alive because you were wrong. It's not Wegener's. 320 00:24:19,691 --> 00:24:23,752 Yeah. Seem to be doing that a lot lately. People keep living because of my mistakes. 321 00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:27,287 Progression of the paralysis pretty much confirmed Hamilton was right. It's A.L.S. 322 00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:30,630 - Assuming this is a progression of his paralysis. - He can't move his arm. 323 00:24:30,702 --> 00:24:34,001 Yes, his arm is paralyzed. Yes, his legs are paralyzed. 324 00:24:34,072 --> 00:24:37,906 Why is everyone so gung ho to connect those two conditions? 325 00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:40,240 You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to stop thinking. 326 00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:44,339 - How about this one? He's not our patient. - Nope. Not good enough. 327 00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:46,782 He could've suffered a stroke when he was intubated. 328 00:24:46,852 --> 00:24:49,412 Well, blood clots are common in paralyzed patients. 329 00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:52,218 The inactivity causes-- Not interested in why. 330 00:24:52,290 --> 00:24:56,021 - Let's get an M.R. angiogram, check for an embolic stroke. - He doesn't want you treating him. 331 00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:59,996 - They dropped the court order. - Yeah, and that girl dropped the charges against Kobe. 332 00:25:00,065 --> 00:25:03,125 - Doesn't mean he should call her and see if she's free to get a sundae. - Good point. 333 00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:05,362 But I can go within 50 feet of him now. 334 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,501 You need me, you have 'em page me. Anytime. 335 00:25:13,578 --> 00:25:16,445 Okay. 336 00:25:31,897 --> 00:25:36,061 - Get out of here. - Sure. That makes sense. 337 00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:38,568 You hate me for saving your life. 338 00:25:38,637 --> 00:25:41,697 Well, in fairness to your side, you were also dying because of me, so-- 339 00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:44,936 - You knew I didn't want to be saved. - That's what's interesting. 340 00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:48,468 Your thyroid was low, but not enough to cause depression. 341 00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:53,507 So you came here to tell me that even if I can't walk, I can still hear the birds sing, 342 00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:56,577 enjoy a rainbow, the feeling of sunshine on my face? 343 00:25:57,989 --> 00:26:00,856 Those things are fun. 344 00:26:00,926 --> 00:26:03,759 Okay. Life sucks. 345 00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:06,194 Your life sucks more than most. 346 00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:10,098 It's not as bad as some, which is depressing all by itself. 347 00:26:11,202 --> 00:26:13,966 But do me a favor. 348 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:16,837 Just let me find out what's wrong with you. 349 00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:20,537 Then if you still want to kill yourself, 350 00:26:21,947 --> 00:26:24,745 I'll give you a hand. 351 00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:27,080 - That sound fair? - Yeah.

I haven't decided. 398 00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:46,578 You already have the most prestigious fellowship. It's a partnership-- 399 00:29:46,651 --> 00:29:52,146 Three times the money, car allowance, moving expense, pension plan, 400 00:29:52,223 --> 00:29:56,159 the chance to work for a guy who gives a crap what people think. Why didn't you just tell him yes? 401 00:29:56,227 --> 00:29:59,424 I made a commitment here. Right. 402 00:29:59,497 --> 00:30:03,661 House would let you out of it in a heartbeat. Or he wouldn't, just to jerk me around. 403 00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:05,760 Would you guys have taken the job? 404 00:30:05,837 --> 00:30:10,035 Don't need the money. We're not like you. I don't hate House. 405 00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:12,736 You guys really don't have a problem with him, with what he did? 406 00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:14,802 He knows we disagree with his choice. 407 00:30:14,879 --> 00:30:18,576 Choice? Chase, it's not apples and oranges. It's right and wrong. 408 00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,312 And he does it like he doesn't care. He assaults the guy... 409 00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:24,253 and moves on to the next differential diagnosis like it's nothing. 410 00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,313 What do you want from him? Hand-wringing? Torment? 411 00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:28,586 You want him to cry himself to sleep at night? Yeah! 412 00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:33,290 Yeah, I want some clue that he knows it's a big deal. That it scares him, that it matters. 413 00:30:33,364 --> 00:30:36,026 Whoa, whoa. What's that? 414 00:30:37,702 --> 00:30:39,260 It was a stroke. 415 00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:44,339 - Well done, Cameron. - House called it. The arm and legs are unrelated. 416 00:30:44,409 --> 00:30:48,311 Oh, you make enough calls, one of them is bound to be right. 417 00:30:48,379 --> 00:30:51,143 Yeah. He's just a lucky, lucky guy. 418 00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:55,380 Listen, listen. I just think it wouldn't hurt him to learn a little humility. 419 00:30:56,521 --> 00:30:58,455 So what's the verdict? 420 00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:02,459 Embolus. The arm problem was caused by a clot. 421 00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:05,018 There's a good chance we can bust the clot with T.P.A. 422 00:31:05,096 --> 00:31:08,395 Do it. See what happens to his arm. 423 00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:20,773 We found a blood clot in your brain. 424 00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:24,178 We'd like to start you on heparin. It's a blood thinner. 425 00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:28,743 - What are the side effects? - Well, your lungs are kind of chewed up from the pneumonia. 426 00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:31,414 - Good chance there'll be an effusion. - Bleeding? 427 00:31:31,489 --> 00:31:36,051 Into his lungs. It's our best chance to give you back the use of your arm. 428 00:31:36,127 --> 00:31:37,856 I don't need my arm without my air. 429 00:31:37,929 --> 00:31:41,421 - The damage would likely be minimal. - No. 430 00:31:43,434 --> 00:31:46,028 It's his call. 431 00:31:47,038 --> 00:31:49,768 Or we could do an embolectomy. 432 00:31:49,841 --> 00:31:51,775 Basically, we go in and pull the clot out. 433 00:31:51,843 --> 00:31:55,779 He's saying no to drugs, and you're recommending brain surgery? 434 00:31:55,847 --> 00:31:57,838 Bypasses the risk to the lungs. 435 00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:00,077 - It'll either help your arm, or-- - Or it'll kill me. 436 00:32:00,151 --> 00:32:03,882 From your point of view, it's a win-win. 437 00:32:03,955 --> 00:32:06,253 Okay. 438 00:32:06,324 --> 00:32:09,054 We'll set up the procedure for today. 439 00:32:20,872 --> 00:32:23,272 We're in your carotid artery. 440 00:32:23,341 --> 00:32:27,209 This is gonna take us all the way up into your brain. 441 00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:29,439 You all right? 442 00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:31,641 Yes. 443 00:32:37,755 --> 00:32:41,919 The sludge is blocking the blood flow to the part of the brain that controls your arm. 444 00:32:51,569 --> 00:32:54,367 All done. You still okay? 445 00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:57,674 I think so. 446 00:32:58,743 --> 00:33:00,734 I don't know. I guess... 447 00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:04,441 it's just with Dr. Hamilton here, I-I noticed a difference in styles. 448 00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:08,849 His style involves humility? 449 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,184 Another difference in our styles-- 450 00:33:11,255 --> 00:33:14,315 I don't care much for apologies. You can go. 451 00:33:14,392 --> 00:33:16,826 I didn't know you were standing there when I said that, okay? 452 00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:19,920 It was completely rude. Do you mean genuine humility, 453 00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,592 you know, with all the self-doubt and the self-questioning, 454 00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:26,535 or Hamilton's polite, patronizing, "Aw, shucks" humility? 455 00:33:26,604 --> 00:33:28,595 You're both excellent doctors. Thank you. 456 00:33:28,673 --> 00:33:32,939 And humility is an important quality, especially if you're wrong a lot. 457 00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:34,979 You've been wrong every step of the way. 458 00:33:40,385 --> 00:33:45,220 'Course, when you're right, self-doubt doesn't help anybody, does it? 459 00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:53,021 We gotta go. 460 00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:03,840 Congratulations, Greg. 461 00:34:03,908 --> 00:34:06,172 Congratulations.

He can use his arm. 463 00:34:08,479 --> 00:34:10,572 Thank you. 464 00:34:10,648 --> 00:34:13,173 Now, look, I know we've had our differences, 465 00:34:13,251 --> 00:34:16,414 but I think when a person does something well, it ought to be recognized. 466 00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:18,421 The phone works. 467 00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:22,391 Next time you want to make me feel all warm and fuzzy, leave a message. 468 00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:24,894 Don't get me wrong. I'm overcome with joy. 469 00:34:24,962 --> 00:34:26,589 - Doc. - Yeah. 470 00:34:26,664 --> 00:34:30,100 - What? - You just touched my leg. 471 00:34:30,168 --> 00:34:32,602 What, are you gonna charge me with assault again? 472 00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:35,537 No. 473 00:34:35,606 --> 00:34:38,200 I felt it. 474 00:34:46,350 --> 00:34:49,114 He now has feeling all the way up to the calf. 475 00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:51,587 This is the way medicine evolved. 476 00:34:51,656 --> 00:34:53,647 Patients sometimes get better. 477 00:34:53,724 --> 00:34:56,887 You have no idea why, but unless you give a reason, they won't pay you. 478 00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:59,020 Anybody notice if there's a full moon? 479 00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:01,156 You're saying he just spontaneously got better? 480 00:35:01,232 --> 00:35:03,826 No. I'm saying, let's rule out the lunar god and go from there. 481 00:35:03,901 --> 00:35:05,835 Something he's on is working. 482 00:35:05,903 --> 00:35:09,066 The enzyme replacement protocol is working, reversing the A.L.S. 483 00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:11,301 The timing doesn't seem suspicious to you? 484 00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:14,833 Do you think Dr. House'll see it that way, figure it's his medication doin' the job? 485 00:35:14,912 --> 00:35:17,073 I'm sure he will. 486 00:35:17,148 --> 00:35:20,208 It's one of ours. How do we figure out which drug is doing the trick? 487 00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:22,343 Easy. We just stop all of them. 488 00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:25,321 - One of those drugs is helping him. - And the rest-- 489 00:35:25,389 --> 00:35:29,291 steroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories-- They're toxic, if we leave him on all of them. 490 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,624 - He'll walk again. - Yeah. To his own funeral. 491 00:35:31,696 --> 00:35:34,290 But if we stop everything, he'll get worse. True. 492 00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:37,664 We'll add our medications back one at a time. When he gets better, we'll have our answer. 493 00:35:37,735 --> 00:35:41,398 - And if he doesn't get better? - Then we're in trouble. 494 00:35:41,472 --> 00:35:43,963 Not as much as he is. 495 00:35:44,041 --> 00:35:46,100 But I suppose that was your point. 496 00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:53,212 I assume you want me to convince Hamilton to stop his treatments too. Don't care. 497 00:35:53,284 --> 00:35:56,014 At least five of the medications are a part of his protocol. 498 00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:58,817 If his stuff was helping, the guy would be playing tennis months ago. 499 00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:01,222 It's our round of treatment that's helping. 500 00:36:01,292 --> 00:36:04,386 Right. So that's what you'll stop. 501 00:36:04,462 --> 00:36:06,953 It shouldn't be more than 15 or 20 minutes. 502 00:36:07,031 --> 00:36:10,865 So your philosophy is, if they don't want treatment, they get it shoved down their throat, 503 00:36:10,935 --> 00:36:14,735 - but if it might cure their paralysis, whoa, we better slow down. - Yeah. 504 00:36:14,805 --> 00:36:17,797 Yes, Doctor, I love it. My old philosophy used to be live and let live. 505 00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:22,642 But I'm taking this needlepoint class, and they gave us these really big pillows. 506 00:36:22,713 --> 00:36:25,910 - What's your philosophy on employee relations? - That's a very tiny pillow. 507 00:36:25,983 --> 00:36:28,713 Great. It sounds like you know what you're doing. 508 00:36:28,786 --> 00:36:31,346 Greg. 509 00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:34,152 - Can I have a word? - Can it wait for the commercial, Marty? 510 00:36:34,225 --> 00:36:36,989 Say hi to my friend Jimmy. 511 00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:40,691 Pleasure. 512 00:36:40,765 --> 00:36:42,756 Your diagnostic trial-- 513 00:36:42,833 --> 00:36:45,063 Seriously, commercial's in about five minutes. 514 00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:48,071 - That's a dangerous game. - Only if we're watching in the bathtub. 515 00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:52,269 I need to know exactly what medications you were giving John Henry. 516 00:36:52,343 --> 00:36:55,403 Forget it. And if Foreman tells you what John Henry used to be on-- 517 00:36:55,479 --> 00:36:57,913 - You're gonna fire him? - Nope. 518 00:36:57,982 --> 00:37:00,576 I'll make him live out every day of his two-year contract. 519 00:37:00,651 --> 00:37:02,619 - Foreman asked to leave? - Not yet. 520 00:37:02,687 --> 00:37:06,384 - But how do you know I made him-- - You're a polite twit, but you're not an idiot. 521 00:37:07,458 --> 00:37:10,655 I need to know what medications you've taken him off of. 522 00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:16,523 Wait a second. You're not an idiot. 523 00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:22,235 You need to know what medications I've stopped... 524 00:37:22,306 --> 00:37:24,240 because-- 525 00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:28,902 He's getting worse. 526 00:37:33,484 --> 00:37:35,816 Right now you still work for me. Come on. 527 00:37:38,489 --> 00:37:40,480 No feeling. No wiggling. 528 00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:44,050 Bad news is John Henry's back where he started. Good news is Hamilton looks bad. 529 00:37:44,128 --> 00:37:47,461 Yeah, it's not whether you win or lose. It's whether the other guy loses. 530 00:37:47,531 --> 00:37:50,022 What was the first thing we put him on? Steroids, for the pneumonia. 531 00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,763 Well, put him back on them. Give him 24 hours. See what happens. 532 00:37:52,837 --> 00:37:55,829 His lungs aren't great. They might cause another respiratory collapse. 533 00:37:55,906 --> 00:37:57,965 Sure hope not. I didn't much like that lawyer. 534 00:37:58,042 --> 00:38:00,442 And get an M.R.I. He already got one, and an M.R.A. 535 00:38:00,511 --> 00:38:02,911 Well, obviously something is different now. Do it again. 536 00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:05,972 Chase, take care of the scan. Cameron, put him on the steroids. 537 00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:10,944 We should probably talk, huh? 538 00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:19,354 Thin cuts.

He has to. 541 00:38:27,338 --> 00:38:31,035 If he doesn't, he's telling Foreman he needs him. House can't handle that. 542 00:38:37,348 --> 00:38:40,283 Oh, my God. 543 00:38:44,455 --> 00:38:46,446 I checked him out. 544 00:38:47,591 --> 00:38:50,754 He's a great doctor. 545 00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:54,559 - You think he's better than I am? - This about your ego? 546 00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:56,827 Answer the question. 547 00:38:58,602 --> 00:39:03,005 It's not gonna change how I think about myself. Might affect my opinion of you, 548 00:39:03,074 --> 00:39:05,838 but that shouldn't affect your opinion of yourself. 549 00:39:06,711 --> 00:39:08,076 Now I'm getting confused. 550 00:39:08,145 --> 00:39:11,774 If you think he's a better doctor than I am, then you should take the job. 551 00:39:11,849 --> 00:39:17,151 Otherwise, you should get him to buy you two or three more nostalgic lunches and then politely decline. 552 00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:20,418 It's that simple? I should just ignore the mockery and abuse? 553 00:39:20,491 --> 00:39:23,619 - Oh, how do I abuse you? - How do you not? 554 00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:26,424 - If I make a mistake-- - I hold you accountable. So what? 555 00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:31,230 - Dr. Hamilton forgives. He's capable of moving on. - That is not what he does. 556 00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:34,328 I screwed up his case. He told me-- He never said you were forgiven. 557 00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:36,339 I was there. He said it wasn't your fault. 558 00:39:36,407 --> 00:39:38,534 - So? - So, it was. 559 00:39:38,609 --> 00:39:41,442 You took a chance. You did something great. 560 00:39:41,512 --> 00:39:45,073 You were wrong, but it was still great. You should feel great that it was great. 561 00:39:45,149 --> 00:39:49,017 You should feel like crap that it was wrong. That's the difference between him and me. 562 00:39:49,086 --> 00:39:51,646 He thinks you do your job, and what will be will be. 563 00:39:51,722 --> 00:39:53,883 I think that what I do and what you do matters. 564 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,958 He sleeps better at night. He shouldn't. 565 00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:05,466 - Arteriovenous malformation. - Intradural.

It wasn't on the M.R.I. 573 00:40:24,622 --> 00:40:28,718 - Same anatomic location. - It's not there. 574 00:40:28,793 --> 00:40:31,990 - Well, what is there? - Nothing. 575 00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:35,225 Or something that looks like nothing. 576 00:40:37,234 --> 00:40:40,328 Background noise.
