Chapter 23
"DAD!" shouted Audrey, "You still didn't answer me! What did Dr. Mathiessen see?!" House looked down at his impacient daughter and started tapping his cane once more. Then he stared at the wall and continued his story.
As Mathiessen walked into the clinic, Exam Room 2, she saw the last person she wanted AND expected to see at the time. It kind of gave her a shock, actually. Sitting on the examination table, was Dr. House, her boss. He was screaming in pain, curling at the back. She ran over to him quickly.
"What is it?" she shouted. "What's wrong?!"
"My... my leg..." he said, grasping his leg, pulling it near his chest almost.
She didn't know what to do, but House made that decision for her. He injected himself with a nearby syringe full of painkillers. He finally relaxed as the numbing sensation filled his leg, his mind.
"We're admitting you," she said grimly at her boss. House didn't respond; he just sat there, relieved.
