No toxoplasmosis or polyarteritis nodosa. 184 00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:59,082 Robert, what was her sedimentation rate? 185 00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:02,153 Normal, Allison. 186 00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:05,054 Therefore, no inflammation, no immunologic response. 187 00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:07,718 Do you mind sharing that number with me? 188 00:12:07,793 --> 00:12:09,784 Fifteen, Allison. 189 00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:13,127 - Are you mocking me? - Duh, Allison. 190 00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:17,226 I'm just suggesting we look outside the box. What if her sed rate is elevated? 191 00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:21,399 Well, let's go further outside the box. Let's say the angio revealed a clot. 192 00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:23,772 And then let's say we treated that clot, 193 00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:25,936 and now she's all better and personally thanked me by performing-- 194 00:12:26,011 --> 00:12:27,911 My Aunt Elyssa lives in Philadelphia. 195 00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:31,916 Oh, it's story time. Let me get my "baba". 196 00:12:31,984 --> 00:12:36,080 Her normal temperature is 96.2, not 98.6 like you and me. 197 00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:38,521 If her temperature were 98.6, she'd have a fever. 198 00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:44,587 I'm just wondering if you think we could apply the same logic to Carly's sed rate. 199 00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,925 It's absurd. 200 00:12:49,001 --> 00:12:51,526 I love it. 201 00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:54,300 If 15 is high for Carly, then she has inflammation. 202 00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:57,672 Which could, in turn, mean cancer. I'll talk to Wilson. 203 00:12:58,677 --> 00:13:01,840 Next time, skip Aunt Elyssa. 204 00:13:01,914 --> 00:13:04,382 You're probably talking about a primary bone cancer. 205 00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:06,714 It could be tricky to detect. We'll need a bone scan. 206 00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:08,947 That's why I'm talking to an oncologist. 207 00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:14,015 Sure. I've nothing better to do besides departmental meetings and budget reports. 208 00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:17,688 New chairman of the board, you know. Oh, I hadn't heard. 209 00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:20,630 Right. Clinical trials. Completely unethical. 210 00:13:20,699 --> 00:13:24,965 And a very bad omen for you. There's not much money in curing African sleeping sickness. 211 00:13:25,037 --> 00:13:28,131 No. I have seen every scary movie ever made. 212 00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:30,266 Six-year-old twins in front of an elevator of blood. 213 00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,572 Boys' choirs. Those are bad omens. 214 00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:36,741 This is much more mundane. A billionaire wants to get laid. 215 00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:39,046 Billionaires buy movie studios to get laid. 216 00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:41,052 They buy hospitals to get respect. 217 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,248 And the reason you want respect? To get laid. 218 00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,655 Okay then. Just gotta think like a billionaire. 219 00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:49,387 Let's see. There'll be big, scary changes and then, 220 00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:54,558 "Oh, Dr. Cameron, we should have dinner to discuss your future on my G5 private jet." 221 00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:56,931 Come on. You know how good you have it here. 222 00:13:57,002 --> 00:14:00,301 Yes, I'm the big poobah, the big cheese, the go-to guy. 223 00:14:00,372 --> 00:14:02,772 You do the cases you wanna do when you wanna do them. 224 00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,367 You're not gonna have that anywhere else. Relax. 225 00:14:05,444 --> 00:14:08,038 I've been through three regime changes in this hospital. Every time same story. 226 00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:10,673 Just keep your head down. That's all I'm saying. 227 00:14:10,749 --> 00:14:14,241 And put on your coat. It itches. 228 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,778 So, you gonna do this bone scan for me, or what? 229 00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:20,018 Yes. 230 00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:35,905 Dr. Simpson, did you hear? New management. 231 00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,375 I'm thinking of switching to orthopedics. 232 00:14:38,444 --> 00:14:42,437 How much do you guys get for a massage now? Without the happy ending. 233 00:14:42,514 --> 00:14:46,041 Dr. House, what do you want? Do you remember a guy named Van Der Meer? 234 00:14:46,118 --> 00:14:48,450 Not a big talker. You fixed his A.C.L. 235 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,488 No, not according to my medical malpractice premiums. 236 00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:54,685 Didn't get hypotensive during surgery? 237 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,558 No strokes? Maybe some connectivity loss? 238 00:14:57,630 --> 00:15:00,360 What, you're gonna get involved now? I'm not involved. 239 00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:03,663 A guy brought his son into the clinic. I didn't touch the son. 240 00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,398 I'm not taking any responsibility there. The son's fine. Can't shut him up. 241 00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:10,169 Dad show any symptoms of cortical disease? Wernicke's? 242 00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:14,042 No. Nothing. 243 00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:17,048 That's why we settled because we couldn't find anything. 244 00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:19,346 The guy got over a million dollars. Don't tell me he's complaining. 245 00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:21,909 He's not saying boo. 246 00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:28,321 Your father wants to know when you'll be back from your trip. 247 00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:31,761 E-mail back it's taking longer than I thought. 248 00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:34,697 He doesn't need to see me like this. What about your brother? 249 00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:38,703 - No. - Hello. I'm Dr. Wilson. I was-- 250 00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:41,137 - Um, Robin, I'm gonna need a minute. - Oh. 251 00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:45,870 Thank you. 252 00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:54,050 There are two Dr. Wilsons in this hospital, 253 00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:56,849 one in ophthalmology and one in cancer. 254 00:15:56,922 --> 00:16:01,950 My eyes are fine, so I'm guessing you're here to tell me that I have cancer. 255 00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:04,689 There is no cancer in your bone. 256 00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:06,697 You're not smiling. 257 00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:11,696 There's something called referred pain. You could have cancer in one part of your body... 258 00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,034 that presents in another. 259 00:16:14,106 --> 00:16:17,075 Given your age and your family history, I'm thinking your colon. 260 00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:19,235 Great. 261 00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:25,843 I was at Columbia when my mom died. Now there's a blast. 262 00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:28,682 Cleaning up her vomit, and then running to my econ final. 263 00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:30,881 Look. 264 00:16:30,956 --> 00:16:33,823 If I'm a short-timer, give me drugs. I'll go back to work. I'll die there. 265 00:16:33,892 --> 00:16:37,988 Whoa. There's a very quick test to see if you even have it-- a colonoscopy. 266 00:16:38,063 --> 00:16:41,157 I know how you do that test. 267 00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:44,896 If you have colon cancer, we can treat it. It's early. 268 00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:48,497 That's what they told my mom. She was dead six months later. 269 00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:55,172 You're a smart person about to make a very bad decision. 270 00:16:55,247 --> 00:16:58,341 You know, cancer treatment's come a long way in 12 years, but if you don't do this now-- 271 00:16:58,417 --> 00:17:00,851 I don't wanna be looked at. 272 00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:13,124 There is another way. 273 00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:15,632 We could do a virtual colonoscopy. 274 00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:20,229 Basically, we do a C. T. scan of your colon. It's noninvasive. 275 00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:23,433 But it's very expensive. I'm assuming that's not a problem. 276 00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:30,314 Say yes. 277 00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:35,920 Dr. Becker-- 278 00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:39,688 Mr. Van Der Meer. 279 00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:41,953 What? 280 00:17:45,697 --> 00:17:49,326 Relax. Ricky's gonna be just "finkf". Strep throat. 281 00:17:49,401 --> 00:17:52,893 Here's a prescription for an antibiotic. He should be all better in a few days. 282 00:17:52,971 --> 00:17:56,930 Although, this might sting a little. 283 00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:13,086 I wanna see you again real soon. 284 00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:17,026 Virtual colonoscopy was clean. 285 00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,155 No colon cancer. 286 00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:21,358 What happened to our regular, old-fashioned colonoscopy? 287 00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:25,335 She was uncomfortable doing any more tests. I had to convince her to do that one. 288 00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:29,465 Do you get that often? Women would rather die than get naked with you? 289 00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:31,805 She's scared. 290 00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,042 But not of tests. Just embarrassing ones. 291 00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:38,845 Yeah. 292 00:18:42,988 --> 00:18:47,687 It's not an inflammatory process. It's not a clot, because Chase's angio says so. 293 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,389 And it's not cancer, because her tush is perfect. 294 00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:56,298 Anybody else got an Aunt Elyssa with weird stuff? 295 00:18:58,437 --> 00:19:00,735 Maybe it's worth looking into-- 296 00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:03,036 I thought you said Carly's angio was clean. 297 00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,544 It was clean. 298 00:19:13,952 --> 00:19:15,886 You guys see the problem here? 299 00:19:18,056 --> 00:19:21,184 There's no indication of any abnormalities. 300 00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:23,194 No lesions, no spurs, no mastis-- 301 00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:27,756 Her toes are screwed up. They're backwards. 302 00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:31,166 You guys know how much surgery it's gonna take to swap 'em back? 303 00:19:31,236 --> 00:19:32,999 What are you talking about? 304 00:19:33,071 --> 00:19:37,201 Well, either she literally has two left feet, or you angioed the wrong leg. 305 00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:47,011 That's impossible. It can't be-- Or maybe it was Jenny. 306 00:19:47,085 --> 00:19:51,044 How come some resident signed this radiology report? Were you even in the room? 307 00:19:51,123 --> 00:19:53,182 - I'll redo her angio-- - You'll do nothing! 308 00:19:58,664 --> 00:20:01,224 Foreman, you do the angiogram. 309 00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:15,479 I can't believe I did that. 310 00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,877 Why do we have to redo the angiogram? 311 00:20:22,955 --> 00:20:26,391 There was a shadow on the first test result. Shadow? 312 00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:29,718 A shadow means there could be a blood clot, right? 313 00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:34,422 I read Conn's Current Therapy. 314 00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:38,299 A real page-turner. No, it wasn't that kind of shadow. 315 00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:44,105 My chest hurts. It's from the tracer I injected. 316 00:20:44,176 --> 00:20:49,011 You might also get a little nauseous or have a metallic taste. All normal. 317 00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:52,141 I'm a runner. I shouldn't feel like this. 318 00:20:52,217 --> 00:20:54,515 Carly, I'm looking at your vitals right now and-- 319 00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:56,577 I can't breathe.

They sent the fluid to the lab. It'll be back in a few hours. 326 00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:42,495 You'll be happy to know Chase's mistake didn't cost her. Angio revealed no clot. 327 00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:45,736 I'm thrilled. 328 00:23:31,743 --> 00:23:33,938 Okay, see, now you're just being stubborn. 329 00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:36,674 It's cold.

If only I'd known. 545 00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:34,658 Tough being a doctor, having all that power. 546 00:41:34,725 --> 00:41:36,659 The power to play God. 547 00:41:36,727 --> 00:41:40,754 Yes. I don't envy the transplant committee their responsibility. 548 00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:44,597 They basically would have been forced to kill that poor girl. 549 00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,761 I'm not sure I could have done that. 550 00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,864 This is not a game to me, Dr. House. 551 00:41:50,941 --> 00:41:55,901 No. It's actually more like we're dancing right now. 552 00:41:55,980 --> 00:41:58,005 So let's get to the point. You don't like me. 553 00:41:58,082 --> 00:42:01,711 I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna like you. It's nothing personal. 554 00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:04,447 I don't like anybody. 555 00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:06,456 But none of that really matters, does it? 556 00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:09,254 Because you've got money, and I've got tenure. 557 00:42:09,326 --> 00:42:13,558 You need full board approval to get rid of me. I've got Cuddy. 558 00:42:13,631 --> 00:42:16,099 Right. And Wilson. 559 00:42:16,166 --> 00:42:19,761 So, as long as we're stuck with each other, 560 00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:22,032 we might as well ignore each other. 561 00:42:28,445 --> 00:42:30,470 That wasn't nearly as dramatic as I was hoping. 562 00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:37,354 I looked into that tenure thing, and you're right. 563 00:42:37,421 --> 00:42:41,084 It's actually easier for me to get rid of a board member like Cuddy or Wilson... 564 00:42:41,158 --> 00:42:43,592 than to get rid of a doctor. 565 00:42:43,661 --> 00:42:46,789 That's interesting, isn't it? 566 00:44:09,380 --> 00:44:10,642 Ripped by phaelox for divxstation.com
