Chase opened his eyes. He was in a regular hospital room. He looked to his side . There was an IV attached to his arm, clear liquid dripping down, through the tube, into his body.

He wondered vaguely what it was for.

"So, any ideas?" House asked impatiently, ready to shot down their suggestions, regardless of the content. No matter if it was the same as what he had been thinking. A little hypocorism is okay with him-as long as he's the one doing it. He wondered what the two ducklings would come up with this time; it would give him a slight indication of the Australian's popularity on the team, not that he cared that much. It would make a few snide remakes easer to produce. The symptoms were not all together easy to diagnose, and most likely were not a there; Chase was still out of it the last time they checked. The ones that they had been able to confirm were written in black ink on the white bored:

Confusion

Dizziness / Light headed

Loss of Consciousness

Unequal pupils

Foreman was the first to venture a guess. "Drugs, maybe he took something, was allergic to it…" Ouch. Not a very trusting "friend".

"Get a urine sample. Anything else?" House demanded.

" Early stages of pneumonia?" Cameron suggested.

" Close, but no cigar. The symptoms are in the wrong order. Next?"

" House, we don't have enough symptoms. Right now, the only fitting diagnoses would be a concussion. And he doesn't have one of those, last time I checked." Cameron pronounced, flustered.

House nodded at Foreman. "Get a MRI, CT, what ever you can think of." Cameron rolled her eyes. "What?" House acted like an abused puppy. " You want to wait for the next symptom to get some simple test? Or until the Wombat wakes up?"

"By all means, do the test, but there is bound to be symptoms only Chase can tell us. I just don't want to jump to too many conclusions."

"There is no saying when he'll wake up. We could be waiting around here forev-" House was rudely cut off by the beeping of three pagers. Cameron was the quickest to read the message.

"Looks like we might not need to wait that long."
