"I don't know-know where you get off on forgetting to close up a suture after such a routine surgery but hey I betcha' that you certainly love malpractices because that's what you get if you had killed that patient had I not stepped in and prevented that. So what do ya say Chuckers, are ya going to get that abnormally large stick oughta your butt and start acting like a doctor," Dr. Warren Pierce asked sarcastically.

"Oh and don't bother and answering that because I believe you are now speechless behind belief and will go cry to your mommie over supper or whenever you actually see her," Pierce added.

The resident ran off rather hurridely and Pierce heard a person behind him clear his throat. To his suprise it was Cuddy who happened to have heard every word of what he seemingly said. He didn't care because he believed the resident deserved it. She wasn't happy at all though and it was apparent in her body language.

"Hello Cuddi-o, there ya have it for the simple minded. Me, I'll get back to the person with the thermometer stuck up her as-"

"No you won't Warren! Sorry but I am kinda on the first name basis because I know how annoyed it makes you to adress you by your first name. Secondly, you are suspended from doing all operations and surgical rotations until further notice and lastly, you will be supervised under an excellent misanthropic doctor that will teach you a thing or two about egos," Cuddy finished and then whirled around angirly and headed back to the office leaving Pierce stunned.

"Do you think you could make the punishment any worse, and REALLY, I HONESTLY THOUGHT YOUR MENSTAL CYCLE WAS LAST WEEK!" Pierce yelled the last part.

The only thing he succeeded in was having various staff and patients make a quick suprised glance his way. He did think it was worth it though.


"WHAT," House exclaimed. "Cuddy honestly, once they are surgeons they are always jerks. They also happen to think they know everything."

Cuddy just smiled.

"I happen to remember you saying after Tritter was gone that there was no one as evil as him. You even said that Vogler was the lesser of two evils," Cuddy added.

"No that is what you said about me after Vogler left," House corrected.

Cuddy crossed her arms and sighed. This was going to be very hard but at least if she had House's cooperation then it would be a lot easier. She wanted to teach the guy that while people made serious mistakes, it didn't mean the end of their career and that just made them human. Also it wouldn't help to have him learn a little humiliation.

"Fine but I am not his buddy," House said.

"I understand," Cuddy instantly said.

"And if he cries, then I'm not taking him," House added.

Again Cuddy reasured him. It was going to be way easy because he was definately not a whiner.

"Plus he may want to be here for the case we have," House said.

Cuddy nodded.

So far, so good.


"So you must be Dr. Pierce, House told us-"

Pierce interrupted, "Hey did you used to be a blondie because you sure do act like one."

Cameron looked like she had just been slapped in the face. It was hard enough that she was pregnant, add the new doctor that was on the team temporarily and her emotions were just beyond breaking point. He sure was cute though, she thought before she shook her head. She couldn't think like that because she was engaged to be married to Chase.

"So what did you get in trouble for," Cameron asked.

"For putting down people like you who would kill a patient in a heart hurt if you had to do the type of surgery that I've done," Pierce snapped.

"Ligthen up dude, we have a case," House said upon entering.

"And I'm sure that a case means we find out what's wrong with her and fix the little problem," Pierce asked.

"Nope, it's called difficult case," House said slapping the file down in front of him.

When Pierce didn't reply House smirked.

"Okay, Cameron you get to go with your husband-"

"Boyfriend," Cameron corrected.

"Fine and break into the house, Foreman this looks like a head injury, do an mri, finally but definately not least, Dr. Pierce I know how much you love people so you get to do the history," House added smugly and limped off before Pierce got a good word in.

Pierce was infuriated as the others decided to hurry up and leave so that they wouldn't get in the wrath of the new temporarily team member. He was easily revoked and what he said not only stuck but it also hurt.
