I'VE SEEN BOTH SIDES NOW.
Every living thing is made to die.
This is a fact most people live out their lives choosing to ignore. But when working in a hospital, where sickness and death are ever present it is impossible to avoid. A hospital is a place where even the strongest of people can and are confronted with their own mortality. This often morbid aspect of life is what captivated Gregory House into the medical field. The chance to delve deep into the process of death not to merely be an observer but also an overseer to the many stages for a patient both physically and emotionally: To be invited within the most private of worlds and appreciated, this is why Gregory House worked for years to obtain this coveted prize. Gregory House wasn't born with charm and grace like many of those around him. He felt un-comfortable and awkward around people and their opinions and wasn't ashamed to let this be known. He appreciated silence, and solitude, calculated logic and taking the direct approach. Working at a hospital, with his own team it was sometimes easy to feel isolated in his own private world. There was nothing outside these walls; Here Lisa Cuddy is a tireless dictator, and House and his team renegade guerrilla war fighters' desperately trying to save the day in the face of endless perils. Wilson a double agent pretending to be a neutral force, secretly aiding House and his team against the overbearing presence of Cuddy and her minions disguised as nurses. This is the hospital world House invented to make work more interesting; to keep things structured and exciting. The outside world nothing more then a myth, sure it existed but just like air it was often disregarded. Gregory House spent his whole life amongst disease and death sometimes it was hard to remember there was anything more then this inner world of lies.
It was after his surgery, after her betrayal when things began crumbling. His strength that had always been there for coping with hardships was waning. More and more he began relying on the white pills to pull him thru, and right when he thought he had hit rock bottom with nothing left to fight for, there he was. As if he had always been there just waiting for House to look up and extend his hand. James Wilson saved House not just from from giving up entirely but also self destruction. He would never admit it or even begin to say it, but Wilson knew. He had resurrected House brought him back to life, through his constant patient care, House regained his spark for life until it burned hot within him. To lose everything and begin again is the hardest of life's lessons but in the end the most rewarding. House knew now that you couldn't surround yourself with death constantly, not without it bring you down. So now when he went home away from his world of villains and warfare he had life waiting for him sitting on his sofa drinking a beer and playfully trying to stop him from eating all the food. To live with death can be much easier when getting to come home to the life that sustains you each day.
