Meet Dr. Gregory House. The most miserable doctor in the world. Stacy his ex was willing to give up her entire life for him. This was 8 months ago. One other woman was mesmerized by his "charm." Meet Allison Cameron, top of her class and works for the Department of Diagnostics under House. She had married once before but he died during the short marriage. This conversation made itself known during a date between Allison and Greg. He ended up breaking her heart and they continued on with their job. Cameron went through a rough period when she was a possible patron of HIV. There was an incident where a man's blood made itself on her and the patient was HIV positive. She started on crystal meth and then ended up sleeping with a colleague named Dr. Robert Chase. Drs. Eric Foreman, Lisa Cuddy, and James Wilson also work in the hospital with House. Dr. Lisa Cuddy is frustrated this morning and walks around looking for the illustrious Dr. House. A new case has been given to the Department of Diagnostics, yet House is late. Lisa Cuddy is really frustrated, along with the rest of the gang.
House's Point of view All
1:00PM
I walk in casually as if my tardiness never occured. I don't see Cuddy so for now I am safe. I just hope that Cameron made my coffee. It's never too late for coffee. "So what are the symptoms?" I strategically ask. Foreman responds with some smart ass comment like "Good afternoon House" or "What's for lunch Dr. House?" I just shrug it off and I continue with my question and I go to the next puppet, Chase. He says that there is a high fever, blood contusions of the brain and anaphyletic shock. Well this is easy, the patient has a tumor...why did I bother even coming in...So, I tell him so and inquire as to where James is and I come back wondering why I am here. He hesitates for a second and then Foreman answers for him and he utters the worst sentence in the world. "Because the patient is Cameron," he steadily says. Cameron...no...this can't be possible. I yell at them to bring Wilson here and then to inform Cuddy. "Now!" I yell.

Oh great he's finally here...I stare at James while he asks how I'm holding up. I can't believe him. He still thinks I have these feelings for Cameron. I tell him that the reason I'm angry is because a patient HIV positive comes in and then ends up with a brain tumor is just too impossible. It's true, I am stumped...He continues with the nonsense that this whole charade that I put on has got to deal with the fact that Cameron is dying and she'll die never knowing...or something like that. I tell him to drop and he does and then asks why I called him. You have got to be kidding me...You don't know, I just said that it was a brain tumor...James Wilson, oncologist...idiot...I tell him that she has a tumor and I ask him if he was piecing it together now. "Actually I am," he says. Uh oh..."1) You do have feelings for her because I remember how nervous you were before the date. 2) You then ruined the date by digging up old dead husband. 3) You shove the date and Cameron's feelings in her face all the time. 4) She gets HIV and ends up doing crystal meth and sleeping with Chase. 5) You yell at her all next week because, yes, you were jealous. 6) Her test is positive, you try to be sympathetic, yet you end up pushing her to finally say that she hates you, even when she doesn't. 7) Heartbroken, ashamed, and depressed, she lays in our hospital, dying, he says." He finishes and before I can retaliate with some witty repertoire, Cuddy says she agrees. When did she get here? I ask her what she's doing here and she shoves a paper in my face. It reads that Cameron's second HIV test was negative. Her first one was a false. Still doesn't explain the tumor...I ask her if she has been informed yet. They seem unaware at first then they tell me that she's unconscious. damn... "He was gonna proclaim his love her..." Wilson says. Laugh now James, but who will help you with when your third wife leaves you. They get back on topic and he says that a tumor can sometimes be stressed induced. He then asks me if I have yelled at her recently. I begin to remember last week.
(One week ago)
I sit in my office listening to my ipod and then I see Cameron in my doorway. What does she want? She tells me that she needs a biopsy for a patient named Mary Lollman. Isn't that the terminal brain tumor patient? I tell her that we already discussed this and I tell her to inform Miss Lollman that she is dying. Cameron still persists by saying that all the symptoms don't support the theory of a brain tumor. She concludes with saying that we could rule out cancer by doing a biopsy. damn... I tell her that unless she has some evidence that supports her theory then she should come back. If not, she should leave me alone. Please go...before- She seems upset, her beautiful eyes flare with anger. She yells," Why is it that you never listen to my opinions? If Foreman of Chase came in with the same theory you would at least listen. I just want a test, House. You just don't want me to be right. If not, then what is it? Do you think I still like you? Because I don't! (pause) I hate you...you are the miserablest person man I have ever met. I thought that you were brilliant, so I began to like you. I dated you, yes, I even could have loved you, but the way you treat me makes me hate you." ...so be it...I tell her with no feeling no biopsy. She says fine and leaves. She's gone now...probably better off...

I listen to my ipod again, then I see James in my office looking angry. Of course, the cavalry arrives. He asks me what I did and I respond as if I have no idea what he is talking about. " Something's wrong with Cameron. I think she was crying, so what did you do?" he says. I tell him I denied her a biopsy. He says that it couldn't have been the only thing I did. I explain that she asked, I said no, she persisted, I said no, then she said she hated me, and I said no biopsy. He says that she doesn't hate me. I say she does. Honestly...she should...
(Present)
Wilson says he remembers and that the next day her HIV test came back positive and then she was admitted. That lovely story seems strikingly familiar...Mary Lollman...oh yeah...I tell them that I think I know where Cameron's sickness came from. The rest of the gang comes in, and I tell them all that a woman, Mary Lollman came in, I diagnosed it as a brain tumor tumor, but Cameron wanted a biopsy...I denied it, but I think she was right. It's not a brain tumor, it's something that appears as one. Chase asks if we biopsy Cameron, would we get an accurate analysis. James says that Cameron's condition is just too early to tell if it was anything else. He continues saying that we have to biopsy Mary Lollman and then we can run a series of tests to see what would have caused somethings like that to be contagious. Cuddy says we can't. bitch...I ask why and she says that Mary Lollman is dead. Well this complicates things...
