A fictional show based on medicine is similar in a lot of ways to a fictional show based on history. The Tudors is not a documentary.

I agree with F. Carcinoid tumor of the appendix need a hepatic metastasis to be symptomatic!

Hello, if anyone ever makes it down this low, trust me it was worth it.
Well the physician who writes this review, all the bloggers missed the most important medical inconsistency here. Carcinoid tumor of the appendix never causes flushing/heat or carcinoid syndrome, because the liver metabolizes the seretonin before it can have an effect due to the portal circulation!!

This episode resemble the “Deception (Season 2 Episode 9)” where house deals with a woman with Munchausen’s Syndrome. Episodes has become boring since season 4. Foreman, Chase, Cameron, Wilson and Cuddy are in the background.

What I thought was funny was that when they said what mixes with green to make brown. . . purple. Actually, the simple answer is red or magenta since they are opposite green on the color wheels. I am sure Green, Purple will make a brown (esp. when mixed with yellow) – but it isn’t usually the answer you automatically think of.
Side Note: I couldn’t figure out what Kutner said when he said “yeah. . . a cat” until reading the comments. Eew. Two things wrong with that – none of them have owned a cat, or they wouldn’t mistake human for it. and 2 aren’t doctors trained to avoid bodily fluids?? actually 3, there is a big old glass wall there looking into the hallway – kinda hard to be discreet.
and again EEW

I enjoyed the fact that House’s character is finally developing again. They overdid the superstition by a lot, cramming it down your throats the whole episode – but the very first thing that happened was House jumping a car over a shark.

I nearly fainted when I heard Chase say he wasn’t a neurosurgeon. There was actually something that the didn’t learn in his apparently endless residency.

Oh, and on the superstitions, not sure what areas they’re common in, but it’s considered bad luck to walk under a ladder, open an umbrella indoors, and spill salt in most English-speaking countries.

I have BPPV and was sort of excited to see it on the show, since a lot of people think it’s something I’ve made up.

how did Kutner got away with the urine thing? Does it smell like cat urine? and that House just walked away? I don’t understand. and sorry for being stupid, what sort of superstition has to do with umbrella, spilled salt, and a leader at the door?
