Those kitty and bunny links are a bit unfair, Scott. I believed you when you said they were ficticious – that’s *why* I followed the links. They were both on-site, so clearly it was something you had to say about them, and I was curious as to what that might be. After all, if it’s not a real condition, why link it unless you yourself had something to add about them?

I recall hearing that you do not need a medical degree to perform an autopsy and you only need the supervision of a coroner. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not because it would mean House could have preformed the autopsy with Foreman there.

one question, just a little nitpicking: why was the patient moved from the ER directly to the ICU if there were no confirmed heart issues? i know it’s a plot device because of chase but it doesnt really make any sense

Don’t forget, Chase went to hang an IV bag of Tegretol… Which doesn’t exist.

Princess Edamame:

My guess is that “Ortoli syndrom” is not a comic book reference, but a TV-series one:

In “Oz” (the HBO series about jail life … and mostly jail death), Jon Seda (the actor who played Donny in this episode) was “Dino Ortolani”, an inmate.

The “Braveheart” episode of House (Season 6, Episode 5) begins with a free demo runs as a police detective chasing a suspect through an industrial complex with climbing, jumping, running, obstacles and other items free operation. When the detective decides to jump from roof to roof between the buildings, the detective continues, blatantly ignoring your partner’s suggestions do not. The officer fell and seriously injured, which puts him in the hospital. But a fall will not only arouse the interest of a diagnostician and House.

Even pushing on the cardiac centre in the brain will not stop the heart. It would stop you breathing, which would then stop the heart, but its not specifically a heart problem (Medulla oblongata). The heart will beat without input from the brain. If he is referring to the vagus nerve, then compressing that would actually speed up the heart.

This is way late, but they just broadcast this episode last night in the corner of the world in which I live.

Was I really the only one who was hoping that Amber’s ghost would make another guest appearance?

Might be too late to post this, but…
Re: Chase murder story – I feel there’s a strong allusion to Crime and Punishment (you know, kill for what you think was a good reason, and then discover you can’t live with it). And the first thing Raskolnikov did when he decided to repent, was go and confess in his crime, starting with confessing out loud on a busy crossroad, and then walking to the police dept. So the priest’s demand for Chase to go turn himself in might oroginate from the Dostoyevsky allusion, and that phrase was the reason why they made Chase seek confession in the first place, since no other character of the show could tell him to do that.
