5. Rats + Poison + Bleeding Death
It now shows in the ICU, House walks in slowly.
House: I got some bad news, and i got some good news.Which would you like to hear first?
Claire: The good news.
House: Well the good news is, you dont have Non-Hodgkin Iymphoma... The Bad news is, we havnt figured out what is causing your organs to slowly shut down, and make you have internal and external bleeding. Would you like to hear the extra good news..
Claire:... Yeah that might be helpful...
House: If i tell you, can you not ground me?
Claire: Im not your mother, but i do demand you tell me.
House: Well the extra good news is, were going to save you no matter how much it takes... want to hear the extra bad news?..
Claire: Why couldnt you just tell me all together?
Father: Yeah, can you just get on with it please!?
House: Geez! You dont need to be so pushy, im only trying to save a life... Ok, well for the extra bad news... i need both your son and your husband out of the room..
Claire: Do what he says..
Dan: But mom!
Claire: Does this look like theres time for buts right now young man?
The father and son both leave the room.
House: We may think to believe someone is your household is poisoning you..
Claire: I told you already! No one is poisoning me.. Didnt you not test me for toxins?
House: Yes... that is true... but the CT wasnt right...It doesnt happen often.. but when things get more interesting things just suddenly not work... like your organs.
Claire: No... no one would do that to me...
Claire starts crying.
House: Well... someone is... and we need to find out what poison, senior or junior had poisioned you with in the next 24 hours or your going to die... Its hard to believe a family member... like your son being mad with you could of possibly poisioned you... or your just going to not believe it ,and we cant figure out what the problem is and let you suffer and die!
Claire: I dont know... but theres no way its one of them... It just cant be
House: I beleive you. By the way if you dont mind me asking what would make junior want to kill you?
Claire: IF Dan did this... Then... its probably cause i havnt been a good mother to him. I never come to his football practices, im always working, and i dont let him go to parties, or drink or do drugs... I should be cooler.. but im not..
House: awww arnt you a bad mom not letting your child drink or do drugs! What are up with all these uncool moms these days!? There so like narcs!! ... Claire..
Claire: You got my name right.
House: Dont flatter yourself. The point is theres nothing uncool with looking out for your son If he thinks your uncool for not letting him doing all this, then your son is not a good kid, and cant realize all your doing his saving his life! The problem is if we find out your son is poisoning you, he has to go to prison... and where hes going ohhh you dont want to-
Claire looks angered and gives house a evil stare.
House: Sorry... I need to ask you what youve been eating or drinking the morning you got these pains?
Claire: Well, my son threw out this dead rat out in the garbage , that died from this poison cube we gave it, Then he asked me if i wanted to eat...I couldnt believe how nice he was being, so i told him to go wash his hands before, he makes me breakfast. I was-
House: Wait...
House starts putting the puzzle pieces together, after hearing claires story.
House: Your son... didnt wash his hands... and he kept the poison cube.. He broke it up and sprinkled it in your food... You've been poisioned with rat poison.
Claire starts to cry even more with her hand over her mouth.

Wilson and the team are in the conference room still trying to figure out what the poison could be in her system. Wilson adds ideas on the board. House quickly goes in the room.
House: Our paitient is a rodent.
Everyone one looks at house weird, wondering if he lost it.
Wilson: How did you find this out? did she reveal her secret shes the incredible rat women who got her powers by a radioactive rat?
Wilson says making fun of houses theory.
The team chuckles.
House: No Dr. Chuckles, its a metaphor, which meaning her son must of thought of her as a worthless rat, becuase her son poisoned her with rat poison. The little itty bitty cube that makes the host bleed from the inside out.
Wilson: Well Dr. Rat Expert, Im afraid that doest happen to humans, and even if it did, the worst it would do would cause rectal bleeding, or diareah. Our paitient is not dieing of rat poison.
House: Our paitient is dying of rat poison, and thats final. Now give me my marker, only i king House may write on the board of truth, not the board of lies. Differential Diagnois.. What kinds of poisons are found in rat poison?
Cameron: Brodifacoum, Coumatetralyl or Warfarin. There doses of antivitamins K. That would explain her Internal Bleeding.
House begins to write them down, erasing what he had already.
House: Good, what else?
Foreman: The enzyme is preferentially blocked by indandione derivatives, deprieving organisms of the source vitamin k. It would lead to disruption of the vitamin K cycle making it able to produce blood clots, In pressure the blood clots grow and blow.
House: Good, so we know that our paitient isnt getting any vitamin k, and she keeps having new blood clots reborn. What does the aussie have to say?
Chase: toxic doses of 4-hydroxycoumarin/4-hydroxythiacoumarin and indandione anticoagulants are damaging her blood vessels which could be another explination on why she had internal bleeding.
House: What else?
Everyone is silent. House gets impaitient.
House: Come on, come on! Paitient dead in one day! Need to brainstorm more here! Theres more!
Wilson: Well it-
House interupts in delight someone spoke up.
House: Thank you!!
Wilson:...It could be second generation agents, its probably more likely then a first generation agents, cause they have far more toxins, applied in lower concentrations in baits. Its lethal after single ingestion of bait that became resistant against first generation anticoagulants, the second generation would be what many call superwarfarin.
House: She has superwarfarin! and Wilson just to think you were joking around when you said she had super powers, well your wrong she has a super-disease! Foreman, go and search Claires house for Rat Poison, and bring it back here. I want to show and teach Jr. on what this little cube of death can do.
Foreman: I was just there, i would of brought it back if i found some. Im not going back there for non-existant rat poison.
House: Its there, just maybe not IN the house, do they have a shed?
Foreman: Yeah... I totally forgot about that, but i already went once, send Chase.
Chase: Why are you picking on me, your the idiot who didnt check the shed.
House: Hes right you know.. You are an idiot, thats why the village idiot needs to back and find that rat poison.
Foreman looks angered and he goes quickly out the door.
House: Chase, since your lazy to go, you can sit at the computer, and search up every ingredient that is in rat poison.
Chase: Why do i need to that?
House: 'Cause its fun, and im doing it just for the heck of it to get you mad.
Chase: Well at least your admitting it.
Chase leaves angry.
House: Cameron, give her 30mg of Vitamin K, make sure she knows shes being treated for rat poisioning first. You dont need to tell her shes got a decision to take the treatment or not, it will just ruin all the fun.
Cameron: Shes going to ask rather you want her to or not.
House: Wilson, you do it.
Wilson: Dont get me caught up in this!
House: Fine Ill do it!
House storms out of the conference room towards the ICU.

Foreman cheques the shed, found nothing but tools, and the typical things you would put in a shed. Still no Rat Poison.
He gives up, walks out of the shed. He suddenly catches theres dog digging a hole. Foreman walks up to see what hes digging up. Foreman grabs a shovel from the shed, and digs a hole. Not, much digging later, theres a cardboard box, he opens it up, and surly enough he finds the rat poison. Her son did poison her. Now to call house. Foreman dials House's cell with speed dial. House picks up.
House: House.
Foreman: It's foreman.
House: Duh, Think i cant tell from a black mans voice?
Foreman: You think we all sound alike?
House: Well yeah, dont we to you?
Foreman:... Anyways.. You were right. Her son poisoned her, I found the rat poison barried in the ground... well there dog did.
House: There dogg? Are you sure its not your dogg homie?
Foreman: ughhh.. Well im coming back.
House: You do that.
House hangs up.
House: Now where was I? Oh yeah, your son poisoned you with rat poison. We know that for sure now, Dr. Foreman found it barried in your back yard. Arnt we glad you have a dog. Foreman is glad he has his too. From the rat poison there is ingredient in it called Warfarin. You dont have Warfarin, you have SuperWarfarin! This is what is killing your organs slowly, and making you have internal and external bleeding. Untill we get final words from Dr. Cuddy, I can treat you with a medication from the university of dianostics and science called "Abophern" It hasnt been fully tested yet or completly legal yet, but it sounds like the best cause to cure this. If we dont get the medication, you will die in 21 hours. If the medication doesnt work... you will die in 21 hours... but if we at least try it out you never know what it might do, so its your choice, take it or die?
Claire: Die...
House looks down and has the look when he cares.
Claire: Im a terrible mother, no wonder he wanted to kill me. I never let him do anything, while his friends are out having a good time. My mom was the same way with me, and i hated it, and i turned out to be like her. I get him in trouble half the time over the stupidest things, and i hate myself for doing that to him.
House: You dont deserve to die! Your mother was a idiot, your not, your a good parent, your protecting him... Telling him not to drink or do drugs is not a bad thing. Making him stay home from parties your only helping him from not getting hurt. If your son just took the time to realize you were only protecting him, instead of being a idiot and killing his own mother, then he could of lived a good life, in his adulthood. Your son is the bad person not you. You dont just kill your mother just because you didnt let him do what he wanted, you talk it over! I dont care how mad you are at your parent, you dont kill your own mother! She brought you in this world from her uterus. He should be thanking you he's alive and has got a roof over his head to begin with instead of living on the streets asking for change. No matter how much you still love him, your son is going to prison, as soon as we proove he poisoned you, your son is going to be meat to the inmates, and they like fresh meat.
Claire: wow.. your absolutely right, i have been a good mother, and if he doesnt want to accept that, then theres nothing i can do. He's just going to have to be that way. Thank you Dr. House, you really know how to treat a girl. Im sure you must have a girlfriend who really loves you.
House looks over, and starts realizing, she was wrong about the last part. He would be the last person in the world to be loved by somebody.
House: So are you going to do it?
Claire: Yeah... I give you permission.
House: Good, heres a DNR for you to sign... dont ever get me to make a speech like that again... I just hate caring speaches..
Claire laughs. House smirks a bit, gives her the 30mg of Vitamin K, to hold her off untill he gets the medication, all he needs now is the boss's permission.

Shows in Cuddy's office, Shows cuddy working on some papers. House walks in.
House: I need you to get me some Abophern.
Cuddy: Your not getting any of that! It hasnt been fully tested yet, nor legal!
House: Make it legal. Because I need in 21 hours or my paitient dies.
Cuddy: Then shes going to die, theres nothing i can do about it! What is she dieing of.?
House: Superwarfarin.
Cuddy: Theres no way it's Superwarfarin, its too rare, your saying we got a patient with a rare poison?
House: ... Yeah, and i need it now.
Cuddy: No, thats the final straw! Now please leave my office.
House: No! Im not leaving, i like it in here, its nice and comfty.
Cuddy: Your not getting it... now leave!
House: Pretty please!!
Cuddy: Your not getting it, now leave before you get one years of clinic duty!

House does a ugly looking puppy dog face.
Cuddy: House!
House: Fine! When the paitient dies, dont come crying to me asking me to talk to the family members at Claire's Funeral! Im sure that will be fun for you... Oh im sorry, Your wife died, because i didnt take the chance to get a life saving drug to your wife, House told me to do it and i didnt listen!
Cuddy: You got one year on clinic duty congratulations! Now get out of my site!
House: Fine, and i quit!
Cuddy:... crap... fine! You can have your drug but if things all go wrong, its your ass!
House: Fine, thank you Dr. Cuddy for being so understanding of this! You know i wasnt really going to quit.. .I got you though...oh you should of seen the look on your face!
House's beeper goes off, it says : Code Blue: Claire Davis
House: Gotta Go, Dieing paitient to Save!

Chase: Shes moved into the next stage of Superwarfarin!
House: Coagulopathy...
