*Still Chase's POV*
House burst through the door with me trailing not too far behind him. Quickly he walked up to the white board and wrote down, in his messy scrawl 'Fever' and 'Nausea'. Before House could write the third symptom Cameron butted in.
"Why are we treating a patient with the flu?" She asked, and I backed away from her slowly not wanting to get caught in the line of House's wrath.
"Because, Miss I-think-I'm-the-best-doctor-in-the-room, there's another symptom AND she's Chase's girl friend." He swatted. Two sets of eyes turned on me. I looked back at them.
"She's NOT my girlfriend, she's an old friend. We were next door neighbors when I lived back in Australia." I said to them, but they obviously didn't believe me. Foreman gave me the 'Yeah right' look and Cameron just stared at me wide eyed and open mouthed as if to say 'why didn't you mention her before?'
"Any way, the third symptom is seizures." House said drawing the two's attention away from me.
"Technically it was only one seizure…" I started to say but Mr. Know-it-all decided to ignore me.
"Differential diagnosis." He commanded, and we all just sat there. "Come on, come on! If we don't hurry up Chase's girlfriend will have seizure after seizure and soon they won't be able to make sweet love underneath the wonderful England moonlight."
"For the last time I'm not..." I started, but House quickly interrupted
"Yeah yeah, deny it all you want. We all know you're her boyfriend and you're British." He said. "Differential diagnosis, come on people! How hard is it to diagnose nausea, fever, and seizures?"
"She could have Epilepsy and the flu," suggested Cameron.
"Good, but no. Her Seizure happened while Chase was checking her temperature, not flashing lights in her face." House retorted.
"Could be Gallstones," said Foreman, a bit more confidently than Cameron had.
"No history of Gallstones in the family," I said, and everyone looked at me. "What? She's my old neighbor. Her dad died in a car crash and a couple years later her mum ODed. No history of Gallstones at all."
"Fine," said House, "No Gallstones, what else could it be?"
"Gastroenteritis?" questioned Cameron.
"No, that doesn't cause seizures." House said. Then all our pagers started beeping. Each of us checked them then bolted out the door down to Alex's room. A nurse was standing there and Alex was seizing again.
"We don't know what happened she was fine one moment, she was just talking to me, telling me how much she would miss Australia, then she just stopped in the middle of her sentence and started seizing!" the frightened nurse told us. I held her down, trying to make her stop like last time, while Dr. House started to question the nurse.
"How long was the pause?" He asked.
"I'm not quite sure, five seconds at most." Replied the nurse, shakily.
"Did she say anything about feeling nauseated?" House asked.
"Maybe once or twice, not anything major happened." She said.
"Sorry to but in on your game of twenty questions, but your patient is going to die if you don't figure out what's causing the seizures." Dr. Cuddy said irritated that she had also been paged down here.
"Fine. Chase, get a CT scan, check for Gallstones, and while you're at it check her brain too. Cameron, you do a Lumbar puncture to check for Epilepsy. Foreman, you'll be getting a blood sample and checking for Gastroenteritis." House ordered.
"But we already…" Started Cameron, but she didn't get to finish.
"I don't care what we have or haven't ruled out; we need to figure out what's wrong with her!" House shouted at Cameron. I'm pretty sure everyone in the room was thinking the same thing. House hadn't gotten his vicodin yet this morning.
