Part Two

House walked down the corridor, to be stopped by Cameron, who handed him a folder

"Here are the results of the tests we did on the patient"

House glared at her

"I didn't tell you to do any tests"

Cameron smirked "I know, your ego never allows you to do tests, but I'm the sort of person who goes out and does anything that you tell us not to do, even though I still harbour feelings for you. That's just one of the things that makes my character complex"

House raised an eyebrow

"But your character isn't complex. You have a thing for broken men and babies, and you always have to argue with everyone. If there's a shallower person on television I haven't seen them. Anyway, that break was just five minutes long. How did you manage to get all those tests done so quickly?"

"Don't you know anything House?"

Cuddy came from nowhere, conveniently at the right point in the conversation

"The ad breaks only seem to be five minutes to the people watching on television. In reality, they take however long it takes to get all the technical bits done so the fans don't have to actually watch it."

House took a look at the results

"Not that it matters, the medicine I gave his is surprisingly not working, and, amazingly, it is making him worse, giving him more symptoms that are obviously to do with the medicine we've just given him and are in no way the illness he has getting worse"

Suddenly, House's beeper went off, followed by Cameron's. House reached for it, and looked at the amazingly small screen

"It seems our patient has started getting symptoms which put him in a lot of pain and make his body spasm uncontrollably"

"you can get all that on that tiny screen?" Cuddy asked curiously

"No" House replied "I just assume from past experience"

-Running!-

Cue to an image of the patient in his room looking ill with token wife/girlfriend/coach standing next to them looking worried. Camera rotate to see House's team coming down the coridoor

-More Running!-

The team get there first, slowly followed by House who, although doesn't run, somehow magically makes it there mere seconds after his team

"He's going into shock!" Chase exclaimed in a very Australian way

House walked over to the patient and randomly placed his hand on his chest

"Of course he is! Tell me something I don't know"

House looked over his monitors

Chase pushed in front of him "We're going to have to intubate"

House held his cane in front of chase

"aren't there more suitable things to do for this situation?"

Chase looked at him "Well, yeah, but we don't have any of them. This intubation equipment is the most complex equipment we have. Why do you think we use it almost every episode?"

They all rushed around him in order to intubate, but as they did, they realised he wasn't getting any better.

"House told you! This equipment is wrong, he's going to get worse!" Foreman complained, strangely agreeing with House despite how much he said he hated him.

"It's not anything that I did!" Chase shouted "My ego is too big to be wrong! It's the illness he's got! Its ... killing him!"

-cue close up of all the team's faces as a look of shock passes over them-

House appears shocked, and wondered why, even though all of his patients nearly die, it still continues to make his team panic every time it happens

Second ad break
