Hey,you don’t seem to like this show very much so no offense why do you keep watching? The medicine is supposed to be atyplical House himself says this,they deal with 1 in a million cases which is why some things are so unheard of.I am not a fanatic or anything and I completely respect your opinion I just think you’re being kind of overly judgemental…
And Miles, regarding your Q3, watch Three stories(from season 1) and even season 6 finale so you can understand the why.Also your second Q, like I said this show deals with RARE cases.When you fail to find an answer the easy way,you start looking for it the hard way,in every one of those rare cases.

Wasn’t it mentioned at some point in the show that the immunization status of the parents was in the medical records/history?

3 questions:

I only recently discovered “House” and record it from Bravo Saturday nite, so I have gone through several shows on Bravo, as well as now, jumping ahead, having watched the final show for the season on FOX

Question 1: on this episode (above), what is that twitch you get when your brain wants to make sure you are NOT dying?

Question 2: on every show, the MRI is used, so what gives? Is the MRI just a deus ex machina for “House”?

Question 3: why does such a logical based character as Dr. House not solve his leg problem with an amputation?

just started watching house and its pretty impressive show….
As final year medical student want to point out some medical inconsistency [actually i am fan of house....most brilliant doctor i have ever seen even if he is fictional and has somewhat similarities to holmes] yet writers not so brilliant..!

Transpupillary retinal biopsy is not possible , such procedure would result in corneal scarring and cataract formation, with likely resulting in ectopia lentis [lens dislocation], vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Retinal biopsy can be done by experienced ophthalmologist using vitrectomy techniques.

who is writing script of show anyways? are they having some medical background? because rest of medical data seems pretty convincing i suppose…

The ending with the lacrosse game is very simple. Number 18 is in fact House himself, as he remembers of his old days where he used to play lacrosse. Its just a way to show the small human signs in him, the fact that he misses a sport he used to play.
Thats why the field is empty in the end. Its all in his head.
