Am I the only one who noticed the magazine Cuddy was reading at the start of the “couples therapy” (about 23 minutes in to episode)?
It was “Pole to Pole”!! (remember last week – who could forget?!)

I didn’t watch the show, but are you sure there was only one injection of B12? Maybe they gave him more, but didn’t show it, so it wouldn’t be repetitive.

I just settled in with my family in the UK and I feel lost with the crazy doctor. Anybody knows how can I see the past episode of Doctor House M.D. rather than make a new Sky subscription?

i’m tired of “House” confusing bacterial and viral meningitis…i had the bacterial and almost died when i was 76 years old in ‘03…i was taken to Beth Israel Hospital in NYC with a temperature of 106˚ and managed to live with no brain damage although it took me almost 3 months of hospitalization…the first thing i was told when was put in my room after the diagnoses was the bad news was it was bacterial but the good news was IT IS NOT CONTAGIOUS!, so no one has to be notified and i could have all the visitors i wanted…i was not put in isolation…the VIRAL IS CONTAGIOUS

I just want to share this, because I thought it was hilarious. Even though no one will probably read this.

The radio station I listen to when going into work sometimes plays random stingers. Usually something to the point of “This is absurd.”

Usually I don’t recognize these stingers. Sometimes I do.

I recognized this one.

It was Wilson from this episode, saying “I need a flow chart to illustrate all the ways you were ridiculously insensitive.”

Incidentally, the recapper on Television Without Pity did do a flow chart of all the ways House was ridiculously insensitive.

Whoa..really?? So the intro music now is actually different then what they played for the first four seasons?? I must now go online and watch to compare! I havent heard a note different since season 5 began. Eh…

One thing I can add to that though, I was watching a show (from a previous season) of some other popular prime time program recently, and I jumped up because they had the House MD theme in there between scenes. The entire thing. But bah! I cant remember which show it was now! Possibly CSI:Miami, but I’m not sure. But it was clearly the same theme. I was surprised to see it used in another show, I always figured House was the only one and that they wrote it just for the show. (goes to show how much I know about that stuff….) It is a pretty groovy track…

The producers couldn’t obtain the overseas rights to Massive Attack’s “Teardrop” — the previous theme — so decided to stop using it in the U.S. as well and are now using a sound-alike theme instead.

Is it just me or is the intro music for season 5 different?

Yes, dying changes everything. House goes one up again.
3 “pro-life” episodes: Sports Medicine, Babies & Bathwater, Fetal Position
4 “not pro-life” episodes: Kids, Informed Consent, One Day -One Room, Dying Changes Everything.

First time I read an article of yours, came across it by chance and am very grateful I did, terrific job, in my medically uneducated opinion. I can see you are thorough and reliable, will come by to check your opinion after I watch the next episode.

Because though I’m a medicine enthusiast I’m as of yet a quite ignorant one, I can’t really give my scientific input, but I do have something to say about the eye protection: my guess is that it wasn’t introduced as much to be medically accurate as to serve an aesthetical purpose: notice how the camera spares us from seeing the fetus being removed but provides us a subtle, indirect and sensitive-viewer-respecting view of it, through Chase’s goggles’ reflection. Too bad, would have been, like Jay said, a plus point.
