The enemy within…
House is back on his office looking at his latest case…. Fifteen year old bleeding through his eyes while swimming in the school pool…ouch.
He gets in the whiteboard, Cuddy is having one of those bad days I can always tell because of the bra, always like the cleavage, you know seeing those things is not the same as being between them,.
He is probably going to meet Wilson later to steal his lunch (as always)…. He moves a little bit and looks around for his team, he looks at the empty cup of coffee next to him, he smiles at him and then taunts them with a playful smile and suddenly he goes: Differential people!
-Sarcoidosis, it explain things symptoms such as fatigue unchanged by sleep, lack of energy, weight loss, aches and pains, arthralgia, dry eyes, blurry vision, shortness of breath, a dry hacking cough or skin lesions.- Thirteen answers trying to get to there first.
-Has he broken up with his last girlfriend recently? - House asked.
-That's not part of the medical history… Isn't that a personal question? How is that relevant to the differential? - Thirteen answered but was a little confused…she then added more assertive now- Please enlighten us mighty one how is that relevant?
-Teenage girls hung to you like a tongue on dry ice…..he is not having a sarcoidosis episode, he was dumped and is to sad to tell anyone, and yes… when I mean anyone I'm saying mom…I bet they were practically sisters.- House cleverly responded.
-You're telling me is all hormonal, he is just acting out- thirteen responded with new found confidence.
-The sadness part yes, the bleeding eyes…no- House looks around and find a power bar wrapping on the trash basket…he looks around and then adds….Just because you study real hard doesn't mean you're going to get the answer- House ended with a playful tone.
-I wasn't…- Thirteen blasts away but she is quickly cut off.
-Not you cup cake….the balding Jew guy… you know the short one- He moves back looking at Taub.
-MS fits best- it explains the fever, the inability to hold the temperature and the aphasia.
-Yes, but it doesn't explain the psychosis- House responded.
-What psychosis? - Taub replied back.
-Exactly the lack of psychosis rules out MS….you didn't get to read that book…didn't you? - House responded with sarcasm.
Wilson's comes in…..he needs to talk….obviously, he always has the "care bear look" when something is up.
OK… Thirteen go check her for Sarcoidosis, it may fit because it covers a lot of ground the symptomatic stage of the disease can go to a debilitating chronic condition that may lead to death, but…because is a shiny day outside of new jersey let's hope for the first. Taub please get some sleep…you're a middle age man who pretends he is young because he used to make people very pretty.
He then looks around for Foreman because he never misses a differential and then shouts: Where is 50 cent? Isn't there a rapper in the house?
-Who are you calling?- The familiar voice of Kutner comes up.
He looks back and there he is…. Is not possible, he then looks back….Thirteen, Wilson and Taub are all gone….the room is empty; there was never a differential, there was never a patient….. He was hallucinating, like that time with Cuddy or the fake detox….. He is trying to make sense.
-He is going to see you- A monotone voice brought him back from his hallucination
Dr. Gregory House is no more…. Psiquiatric patient 524 is meeting the doctor.
