chase said the 4 yr old was giggling “because that’s what 4 year olds do”

im guessing thats what the giggling was, it was a red herring symptom.

I thought it suggested that Evan had been giving Jonah his own vitamins. Both boys are still young, presumably the mom keeps the vitamins out of their reach, so if she gives each boy one and Evan gives his to Jonah, then Evan is actually not getting enough vitamins and Jonah is getting a double dose.

You forgot that Kutner said at the beginning, “Gram stain was negative; no bacteria, no pneumonia.” Legionella pneumophila is one causative agent of pneumonia that takes up the Gram stain fairly poorly.

if the older brother thought more would make Jonah stronger
chances are that Evan took more himself and so Evan should have had Iron poisoning aswell

You wrote shocking a flatline will do nothing but increase the problem.
I’m curious what to shock but a flatline. (I’m no sort of medical student, just interested)

Not sure if this has been addressed in the comments, but why would they consider gonococcal endocarditis when the echo was normal?

I didn’t get the pot connection. Sure, people can “freak out” when smoking pot, but that’s not a medical condition, and is the heart rate increase when “freaking out” even referred to as tachycardia?

Or can’t the writers tell the difference between a bong and a crack pipe?

Haha, i love reading your reviews, Scott, as well as the other people here. Some of you are just too critical. :) I still love the show, and medical issues aside, i want Cameron and Chase to have more screen time. I really do miss their interactions with House. I also love Wilson and House interactions.

Continue with your interesting reviews!

A 16-year-old factory FOREMAN? yah right. It’s remotely possible she could have gotten a job on the line or some menial, entry-level job, but no way could she have accrued enough experience/seniority to become a foreman. I thought she was just a young-looking woman, maybe late 20s early 30s in the opening sequence. When the differential team presented her as a 16-year-old, my first thought was “16?! in charge at a factory?! are you kidding me?” but perhaps there are no hollywood writers with blue-collar backgrounds… ;) hah.

I was also confused by the little boy’s giggling, which was never explained as far as I can tell…
