Thia is my first Reply that I will post (and hopefully not my last). I am from Germany, and I´m not a Doctor. First I have to say that most illnesses of House would never be treated in the fashion that House does, at least not in Germany. Secondly in this Episode the Final Diagnose is not only far-fetched but also impossible. The lifespan of people with that Illness is not more than 10 Years. This Priest however is at least three times that Age. How does that work out??? Very improbable!!
P.S.: Excuse my bad english writing. I´m really not used to it. please correct me if you find misspelled words!! :-)

I fianly caught this episode, and have to say I was both pleased and offended by the Duran Duran metaphor. Kudos to Kutner (’s writer) for saying they were NewRo, not a hairband. Boo to Thirteen – hair band indeed. Just goes to show she more strongly prefers women. Humph. :)

But there ARE still DD fans out here!!

One thing I didn’t see you mention, but was like nails on a chalkboard to me was when Kutner, I believe, said “EKG ruled out an MI”. It had been pounded into my brain that a negative EKG does NOT rule out an MI. But I do want to say, I thoroughly enjoy watching House (most of the episodes anyway) and reading your reviews on them. Very nice job, keep it up.

“Religion is not the opiate of the masses, it is the placebo of the masses”

Great line!

A quick, belated comment from the other side of the Atlantic (i.e. I’m still nowhere near the end of Season 5 yet).

In response to Kate, there has been a lot more religion in this season than previous ones but the comment about the woman in Florida and her cheese sandwich would indicate that House isn’t about to lose the power of rational thought in some sort of epiphany, wouldn’t it?

If I’m wrong on this one (don’t tell me yet) then House’ll be history for me too – but that’d be like turning Mary Poppins into Hannibal Lecter.

Wtf this episode didnt imply at all house needs faith he was only sad cause he was right about the priest and because cuddy didnt want him in the baby naming ceremony, the priest was hoping regain his faith like house said, he only needed an excuse.House still atheist and he never gonna need faith or a belief in supernatural nonsense.

1. There are scientists who are theists, and atheists who are ignorant idiots. Stop associating theism with ignorance and atheism with science. False logic. And House is human, however much he denies it — he too can be unsettled, or left in the dark, or experience moments of doubt. Emotions have nothing to do with rationality.

2. Theists and atheists alike I tolerate. Idiots, however, are a different issue: as strange as it seems, kids, Fox isn’t actually part of the government. On any level.

3. ADJ: I’m pretty sure you actually have to touch the doors for them to retreat.

How did House manage to slip through the closing elevator’s doors without tripping the sensor that would have stopped the doors closing?

John H and Greg, I hope you guys can sit down and have a cup of coffee together.

Galina, you are right. Aside from a couple of comments, everyone has been quite respectful in the “House vs. God” discussion, and that, along with Scott’s medical critiques, is the reason I come back here! Thanks Scott!

Just about eliminating symptoms, House has done that long before but he always knew why he did that, e.g. in Occam´s razor or Damned if you do. Never ´cause of an idea!
