1 00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:11,074 This is a really nice room. 2 00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:13,442 Yeah, it sounds thick. Too bad he's not coming. 3 00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:16,573 Look, I talked to him myself. He'll be here. Right. 4 00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:20,745 You're the one who said that the song could use a horn part, so I got the best-- John Henry. 5 00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,051 You think I'm stupid? Ofcourse I do, but that's not the point. 6 00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:26,058 He'll be here, okay? 7 00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,997 Take a left up ahead. 8 00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:39,266 South Street? I canceled this gig. 9 00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:41,773 You said you didn't want to do any sessions for a while. 10 00:00:41,841 --> 00:00:44,810 For a while. I called her. I uncanceled it. 11 00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:48,905 - Are you up to it? - Let's find out. 12 00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:53,142 # You lied to me # 13 00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:57,246 # John Henry's never gonna show up ## Will you stop? 14 00:00:57,323 --> 00:01:01,020 It's been, like, two hours. And we will keep waiting. 15 00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:03,528 You've heard this guy play, and you know what he does, 16 00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:06,087 so can you just shut up, Tommy? 17 00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:11,800 - Oh, my God. - Am I late? 18 00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:24,183 You need to hear it again? Nope. I get it. 19 00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,413 Let's try one. See what we get. Let's do it. 20 00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:02,618 John! You okay? 21 00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:06,285 You okay? I can't breathe. I can't breathe. 22 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:08,953 Call an ambulance! 23 00:02:09,028 --> 00:02:11,326 Now! 24 00:02:58,043 --> 00:02:59,943 I want in. 25 00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:04,839 - John Henry Giles? You a fan of his music? - He's a musician? 26 00:03:05,984 --> 00:03:09,385 That paralysis thing-- Guy can't walk for two years. 27 00:03:09,454 --> 00:03:11,922 Nobody knows why. It seems mildly interesting. 28 00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:15,153 - Forget his paralysis. - Tell that to the rest of his bowling team. 29 00:03:15,227 --> 00:03:18,993 As far as this hospital is concerned, this is a simple case of lobar pneumonia. 30 00:03:19,064 --> 00:03:22,329 - Boring. - But that not-walking thing-- That could turn into something serious. 31 00:03:22,401 --> 00:03:27,964 Marty Hamilton is his primary physician out in California. He's dealing with the paralysis. 32 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,804 Know all about it. Multiple treatments, multiple surgeries-- 33 00:03:30,876 --> 00:03:33,344 He's making real progress. Fixed everything but the legs. 34 00:03:33,412 --> 00:03:35,937 Dr. Hamilton already called and asked for your team. 35 00:03:36,014 --> 00:03:39,506 And by team, I don't mean you. 36 00:03:39,585 --> 00:03:41,746 Like I always say, there's no "I" in team. 37 00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:44,311 There is a "me" though, if you jumble it up. 38 00:03:45,591 --> 00:03:47,582 Foreman did his residency with Hamilton. 39 00:03:47,659 --> 00:03:50,787 I know. I accidentally glanced at his résumé before I hired him. 40 00:03:50,862 --> 00:03:52,887 He wants someone he can trust. 41 00:03:52,965 --> 00:03:54,899 He must've spoken to Foreman's parole officer. 42 00:03:54,967 --> 00:03:57,401 Someone who will stick to the pneumonia. 43 00:03:57,469 --> 00:04:01,132 John Henry's on an experimental protocol for the paralysis. I respect that. 44 00:04:01,206 --> 00:04:04,835 I'm not gonna get in his way. It's Foreman's case. 45 00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:07,071 It's pneumonia. He can handle it. 46 00:04:07,145 --> 00:04:09,807 Guy's already paralyzed. How badly can he screw it up? 47 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:27,364 So, 48 00:04:27,432 --> 00:04:30,333 - what are his sats? - Staying in the 90s on the nasal cannula. 49 00:04:30,402 --> 00:04:33,337 - Coughing up sputum? - Almost none. He seems stabilized. 50 00:04:33,405 --> 00:04:37,239 - Dr. House, is there anything back from micro? - Not yet. You gonna fire me? 51 00:04:37,309 --> 00:04:40,870 - You can make up for it by washing my car. - Oh, this is fun. 52 00:04:40,946 --> 00:04:43,346 Okay. Let's keep him on the broad-spectrum antibiotics. 53 00:04:43,415 --> 00:04:45,679 And since he's displaying septic physiology, 54 00:04:45,751 --> 00:04:48,845 draw blood for adrenal and thyroid function. 55 00:04:50,622 --> 00:04:53,420 - What about the paralysis? - We're sticking to the pneumonia. 56 00:04:53,492 --> 00:04:57,258 Well, you certainly are, boss, like a wet tongue sticks to dry ice. 57 00:04:57,329 --> 00:04:59,957 The paralysis has already been diagnosed by Dr. Hamilton. 58 00:05:00,032 --> 00:05:02,398 - It's A.L.S. - Lou Gehrig's disease. 59 00:05:02,467 --> 00:05:05,129 It's a lovely diagnosis. They make movies about it. 60 00:05:05,203 --> 00:05:08,104 No tests, no treatment-- It's a disease of exclusion. 61 00:05:08,173 --> 00:05:10,971 - Because Hamilton has excluded everything else. - I haven't. 62 00:05:16,281 --> 00:05:18,306 What else could it be? 63 00:05:18,383 --> 00:05:21,045 - Guillain-Barré, which would be reversible. - Excellent. 64 00:05:21,119 --> 00:05:25,249 No. The progression of the paralysis would be symmetric. His wasn't. 65 00:05:25,324 --> 00:05:27,952 - Transverse myelitis. - Hamilton tested for it. Negative. 66 00:05:28,026 --> 00:05:30,324 And he was negative for masses and A.V.M.-- 67 00:05:30,395 --> 00:05:34,297 - Antibodies could be attacking the nerves. Multifocal motor neuropathy. - Uncommon, but it fits. 68 00:05:34,366 --> 00:05:37,858 It's also treatable. Did Hamilton try putting the guy on I.V.I.G.? 69 00:05:37,936 --> 00:05:41,337 - No, because the M.R.I. showed no-- - Well, let's do an M.R.I. of our own. 70 00:05:44,843 --> 00:05:47,311 Guys, it's my case. 71 00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:53,417 A.L.S. fits. It even predicts the pneumonia. The paralysis is progressive. 72 00:05:53,485 --> 00:05:57,785 It's a death sentence. That doesn't make it wrong. 73 00:06:16,241 --> 00:06:18,835 So you think the breathing stuff is connected to my A.L.S.? 74 00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:21,003 It makes sense. 75 00:06:23,281 --> 00:06:25,272 So it's just gonna get worse, huh? 76 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:27,284 - Well, Dr. Hamilton-- - Great guy. 77 00:06:27,352 --> 00:06:31,015 Really smart doctor, and his treatment obviously isn't working. 78 00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:36,991 Do you think I'm gonna die here, or you think I get to go back home first? 79 00:06:37,062 --> 00:06:41,396 An M.R.I. would give us a better idea-- Oh, an M.R.I. Come on. For pneumonia? 80 00:06:41,466 --> 00:06:43,832 Dr. House thinks we should test for other-- House? 81 00:06:43,902 --> 00:06:48,032 Yeah, I heard about him. Obsessive son of a bitch? That's him. 82 00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:53,300 So who do you think is right, Hamilton or House? 83 00:06:53,378 --> 00:06:55,676 Hey, they're both excellent physicians. 84 00:06:55,747 --> 00:06:57,681 Come on. 85 00:06:57,749 --> 00:07:01,378 One of 'em says A.L.S. The other one says not A.L.S. 86 00:07:01,453 --> 00:07:03,387 You gotta pick one, son. 87 00:07:03,455 --> 00:07:06,822 Everything points to A.L.S. 88 00:07:06,892 --> 00:07:09,417 Then no M.R.I. 89 00:07:14,299 --> 00:07:18,599 And I want one of them papers that say, uh, I don't want nothing done if something go bad. 90 00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:22,504 A D.N.R.? Mr. Giles, you don't want to rush into-- 91 00:07:22,574 --> 00:07:26,066 It's been two years. I ain't rushin'. I want to sign one. 92 00:07:27,913 --> 00:07:29,904 Now. 93 00:07:31,082 --> 00:07:33,073 While my arm still works. 94 00:07:58,443 --> 00:08:00,206 He signed a D.N.R. 95 00:08:02,414 --> 00:08:05,110 He rhymes with dinner? 96 00:08:05,183 --> 00:08:07,743 He signed a D.N.R. 97 00:08:07,819 --> 00:08:10,879 Oh. That makes more sense. 98 00:08:12,424 --> 00:08:14,915 - You tell him it might not be A.L.S.? - No. 99 00:08:16,294 --> 00:08:18,285 Well, no wonder he signed. Who wouldn't? 100 00:08:18,363 --> 00:08:21,389 I started him on I.V. steroids and Synthroid. 101 00:08:21,466 --> 00:08:26,130 Great. If it was my case, I'd be adding a little I.V.I.G. to the mix. 102 00:08:26,204 --> 00:08:29,731 - For his pneumonia? - That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 103 00:08:31,343 --> 00:08:33,573 He doesn't want anything done. No treatment. 104 00:08:34,646 --> 00:08:39,174 D.N.R. means "Do not resuscitate", not "Do not treat". 105 00:08:39,251 --> 00:08:42,379 You do nothing, doesn't matter which one of us is right. 106 00:08:45,156 --> 00:08:47,124 And hang on to that D.N.R. 107 00:08:47,192 --> 00:08:49,592 That signature could be worth a lot of money real soon. 108 00:08:56,868 --> 00:09:00,269 This is Dr. Foreman. What is Mr. Giles's status? 109 00:09:00,338 --> 00:09:03,774 Okay. Increase the steroids to 100 milligrams every 12 hours and, uh-- 110 00:09:03,842 --> 00:09:07,005 start him on I.V.I.G. 111 00:09:07,078 --> 00:09:09,603 Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. One gram per kilo. 112 00:09:11,683 --> 00:09:13,708 My nature isn't what it used to be. 113 00:09:13,785 --> 00:09:16,117 The little man has lost some bounce in his step. 114 00:09:16,187 --> 00:09:20,385 He needs to crank it up, have himself some fun this weekend. 115 00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:24,827 He wants the blue pills. You're taking about your penis in the third person. 116 00:09:24,896 --> 00:09:27,126 Me and him-- two people. 117 00:09:27,198 --> 00:09:30,326 Separate vacations? That'd be a drag for one of you. 118 00:09:30,402 --> 00:09:34,463 I don't think you need the pills. I think you have a conflict in medications. 119 00:09:34,539 --> 00:09:39,238 - You need to up your insulin to chocolate chip ice-cream levels. - Insulin? 120 00:09:39,311 --> 00:09:41,973 Yeah. You remember. That's the stuff you take for the diabetes... 121 00:09:42,047 --> 00:09:44,481 that you forgot to tell the nurse about. 122 00:09:44,549 --> 00:09:47,211 Your hands-- 123 00:09:47,285 --> 00:09:50,345 No hair, which means nerve damage. 124 00:09:50,422 --> 00:09:54,654 And your shoes look about two sizes too small, which means you've lost sensation in your feet. 125 00:09:54,726 --> 00:09:56,557 And then there's your pants. 126 00:09:56,628 --> 00:10:00,189 My pants tell you I have diabetes? No. They tell me you're an idiot. 127 00:10:00,265 --> 00:10:03,894 Powdered sugar on the right pant leg. 128 00:10:03,969 --> 00:10:05,834 Based on the two napkins in your pocket-- 129 00:10:05,904 --> 00:10:08,600 I'd bet it's not your first doughnut of the day. 130 00:10:17,115 --> 00:10:20,710 You're giving me the pills? Sure. Why not? 131 00:10:20,785 --> 00:10:24,118 If you've got heart disease from ignoring the diabetes, they'll kill you. 132 00:10:25,123 --> 00:10:27,717 Otherwise, you two have a fun weekend. 133 00:10:36,368 --> 00:10:38,302 O2 sats are dropping. 134 00:10:38,370 --> 00:10:39,962 - Breath sounds? - Junky. 135 00:10:40,038 --> 00:10:41,801 Mucus plug? No, it's our mistake. 136 00:10:41,873 --> 00:10:44,239 Sludging from the I. V.I.G. Blood can't get to his lungs. 137 00:10:44,309 --> 00:10:47,608 Start heparin-- 500 c.c.'s I.V. push. He won't last long enough for it to work. 138 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,045 We've got to intubate him stat. 139 00:10:50,115 --> 00:10:52,481 We can't. He's D.N.R. 140 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:54,484 What? 141 00:11:02,227 --> 00:11:04,695 Someone likes music. Oh, yeah. 142 00:11:10,735 --> 00:11:13,932 - His sats are in the 70s. How long's he been like this? - Ten minutes. 143 00:11:14,005 --> 00:11:16,473 - Why aren't you-- - The I.V.I.G. put him in respiratory failure. 144 00:11:16,541 --> 00:11:18,975 - You put him on I.V.I.G.? - We did this. 145 00:11:19,044 --> 00:11:21,569 So undo it. Chase? 146 00:11:21,646 --> 00:11:24,342 - It's too late. We killed him. - Nobody killed him. He's not dead. 147 00:11:24,416 --> 00:11:27,180 - Chase, intubate him. - He's D.N.R. 148 00:11:37,896 --> 00:11:39,864 What are you doin'? 149 00:11:44,836 --> 00:11:47,464 You can't do this! 150 00:11:48,606 --> 00:11:51,336 - Bag. - You can't do this. 151 00:11:51,409 --> 00:11:53,536 Bag! 152 00:12:01,019 --> 00:12:03,112 He had a bad reaction to some medicine we gave him. 153 00:12:03,188 --> 00:12:06,021 What did you just do? 154 00:12:07,425 --> 00:12:09,052 He saved his life. 155 00:12:23,641 --> 00:12:26,132 He's stable on the ventilator, oxygenating well. 156 00:12:26,211 --> 00:12:28,543 The I.V.I.G. made him worse, 157 00:12:28,613 --> 00:12:32,071 which means multifocal motor neuropathy was a bad diagnosis. 158 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:34,812 Okay, what's really wrong with him? What's wrong with you? 159 00:12:34,886 --> 00:12:37,821 Everyone knows what's wrong with me. What's wrong with him is more interesting. 160 00:12:37,889 --> 00:12:41,985 You tubed him, and he didn't want to be tubed. He has a legal paper saying just that. 161 00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:45,223 To intubate or not to intubate-- That is the big ethical question. 162 00:12:45,296 --> 00:12:48,561 Actually, I was hoping we could avoid it and maybe just practice some medicine. 163 00:12:48,633 --> 00:12:51,329 There is no question. It's the patient's decision. 164 00:12:51,402 --> 00:12:53,336 If the patient is competent to make it. 165 00:12:53,404 --> 00:12:57,033 - If his thyroid numbers aren't making him sad. - Oh, my God. You don't believe that. 166 00:12:57,108 --> 00:13:00,908 - His thyroid levels were a little-- - It's nothing. Do not defend him! 167 00:13:00,979 --> 00:13:03,709 - Why did he sign that D.N.R.? - I-I didn't talk him into-- 168 00:13:03,782 --> 00:13:08,048 No. He signed the D.N.R. 'cause he didn't want a slow, painful death from A.L.S. 169 00:13:08,119 --> 00:13:11,577 - What was happening had nothing to do with his A.L.S. - Exactly! It's the I.V.I.G. 170 00:13:11,656 --> 00:13:15,888 You screwed up! You're not gonna let him die because you screwed up. 171 00:13:17,128 --> 00:13:19,653 Technically, your case. You screwed up. 172 00:13:19,731 --> 00:13:23,360 - Is that what this is about-- looking bad in front of your old boss? 173 00:13:23,434 --> 00:13:26,198 You assaulted that man. Fine. I'll never do it again. 174 00:13:26,271 --> 00:13:28,603 Yes, you will. All the more reason this debate is pointless. 175 00:13:34,345 --> 00:13:38,247 His lungs are worse. Any theories? 176 00:13:38,316 --> 00:13:42,343 Oh, I'm sure he just went to the little boys' room. Come on, people. 177 00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:45,787 - Um, vasculitis? - Wouldn't likely hit both lungs. 178 00:13:45,857 --> 00:13:48,587 It could be Wegener's granulomatosis. 179 00:13:48,660 --> 00:13:51,595 Dr. House? 180 00:13:51,663 --> 00:13:54,530 Cuddy sent me a stripper again? 181 00:13:54,599 --> 00:13:56,794 Love that woman. So thoughtful. 182 00:13:56,868 --> 00:13:58,597 Sorry. 183 00:14:00,471 --> 00:14:03,770 There are case reports of Wegener's hitting both the lungs and the spine. 184 00:14:03,842 --> 00:14:07,369 Well, it's not great, but it's better than A.L.S. At least it's treatable. 185 00:14:07,445 --> 00:14:10,710 It's a restraining order. You're not to come within 50 feet of John Henry Giles, 186 00:14:10,782 --> 00:14:13,580 and they've asked the D.A. to file criminal charges for battery. 187 00:14:15,854 --> 00:14:18,516 Cameron, test the blood for C-ANCA. 188 00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:22,082 These are criminal charges. They're not gonna let you take blood to make more tests. 189 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,993 He has blood left in the lab. Just add on the C-ANCA. 190 00:14:25,063 --> 00:14:28,794 - Foreman still got you doing bronchoscopic suctioning for the pneumonia? - Every four hours. 191 00:14:28,867 --> 00:14:33,634 Well, while you're down in his lungs, grab a biopsy. We'll need it to confirm Wegener's. 192 00:14:33,705 --> 00:14:36,401 - And move the patient to the second floor I.C.U. - Why? 193 00:14:36,474 --> 00:14:40,103 It's right above the clinic. I'm pretty sure it's 50 feet in any direction. 194 00:14:41,179 --> 00:14:44,114 It's nice having a court order saying you don't have to work clinic duty. 195 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,993 Dr. Cuddy! Excuse me. 196 00:15:05,737 --> 00:15:08,331 You paged me. Why the yelling? 197 00:15:08,406 --> 00:15:12,069 His bed is behind that wall-- the plaintiff's. 198 00:15:12,143 --> 00:15:14,304 I can't, you know, come any closer. 199 00:15:15,647 --> 00:15:18,275 It's right over the clinic. Very cute. 200 00:15:18,349 --> 00:15:21,216 Can we get the lecture over with 'cause I've gotta-- 201 00:15:22,287 --> 00:15:24,687 Actually, I've got nothing to do. Take your time. 202 00:15:24,756 --> 00:15:27,350 You need a lawyer? 203 00:15:27,425 --> 00:15:29,916 You don't have a problem with what I did? 204 00:15:29,994 --> 00:15:35,762 When I hired you, I knew you were insane. I will continue to try and stop you from doing insane things. 205 00:15:35,833 --> 00:15:37,994 But once they're done, 206 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:43,530 trying to convince an insane person not to do insane things is in itself insane. 207 00:15:43,608 --> 00:15:46,975 So when I hired you, I also set aside $50,000 a year for legal expenses. 208 00:15:48,546 --> 00:15:51,140 So far you've come in under budget. 209 00:15:51,215 --> 00:15:54,981 Great. Any chance you could help me run some tests? 210 00:15:55,053 --> 00:15:57,681 Dr. Foreman called Dr. Hamilton. 211 00:15:57,755 --> 00:16:01,589 He's flying in from L.A. You can talk to him. 212 00:16:01,659 --> 00:16:05,993 Dr. Hamilton is flying in as a friend of John Henry's... 213 00:16:07,165 --> 00:16:09,156 to pull the plug. 214 00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:16,162 Yeah. I need a lawyer. 215 00:16:20,445 --> 00:16:22,913 Your Honor, on behalf of Gregory House, 216 00:16:22,981 --> 00:16:25,506 we have convened an emergency session of this court... 217 00:16:25,583 --> 00:16:29,747 to bring a motion requesting that John Henry Giles remain on life support. 218 00:16:29,821 --> 00:16:33,951 Mr. House faces criminal charges for battery against... 219 00:16:35,093 --> 00:16:37,288 John Henry Giles. 220 00:16:37,362 --> 00:16:39,353 You beat up a guy in a wheelchair? 221 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:45,369 Dr. House is alleged to have forced a tube down Mr. Giles's throat against his will. 222 00:16:45,436 --> 00:16:48,735 A medical tube, saving his life. 223 00:16:48,806 --> 00:16:51,707 Dr. House, please let your attorney speak for you. 224 00:16:54,345 --> 00:16:56,745 I'm sorry, Your Honor. I was way out of line. 225 00:16:58,182 --> 00:17:03,051 So, uh, your client forced the patient into this position, 226 00:17:03,121 --> 00:17:08,388 and now he wants a court order to force the patient to stay that way. 227 00:17:08,459 --> 00:17:12,156 Without the tube, there's a high likelihood that Mr. Giles will die. 228 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:15,393 Well, I assume the patient knows that. He had a D.N.R. 229 00:17:15,466 --> 00:17:18,264 That's why your client is facing criminal charges, right? 230 00:17:18,336 --> 00:17:24,138 Exactly. And Mr. Giles's death will violate my client's Sixth Amendment right. 231 00:17:24,208 --> 00:17:29,145 His right to face his accuser. That's clever, huh? 232 00:17:29,213 --> 00:17:32,910 Your Honor, in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Hoselton, 233 00:17:32,984 --> 00:17:37,478 the Third District ruled that a defendant may not use that status to rule against-- 234 00:17:37,555 --> 00:17:39,420 Why are you doing this? 235 00:17:39,490 --> 00:17:41,788 It's not gonna keep you out of jail. No. 236 00:17:41,859 --> 00:17:47,024 Even if you win, the restraining order and battery charge stay in place, so what have you gained? 237 00:17:47,098 --> 00:17:48,531 Time. 238 00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:50,760 To diagnose him? You can't get near him. 239 00:17:50,835 --> 00:17:53,360 I don't want to be near him. 240 00:17:53,438 --> 00:17:57,374 Well, some doctors have the messiah complex. They need to save the world. 241 00:17:57,442 --> 00:18:00,536 You've got the Rubik's complex. You need to solve the puzzle. 242 00:18:00,611 --> 00:18:04,479 Are you done? Or do you have more references to 1980s' fads? 243 00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:07,313 I'm trying to listen to this. 244 00:18:07,385 --> 00:18:09,580 That D.N.R. may not be valid. 245 00:18:09,654 --> 00:18:13,385 The patient was suffering from depression brought on by a thyroid imbalance. 246 00:18:13,458 --> 00:18:16,052 The D.N.R. order was witnessed... 247 00:18:16,127 --> 00:18:20,120 by Dr. House's own staff, a-- a-- a Dr. Foreman. 248 00:18:20,198 --> 00:18:23,793 My staff are idiots. I'm sure you know what it's like, Your Honor. 249 00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:26,428 Sit down. 250 00:18:29,173 --> 00:18:32,870 The validity of the D.N.R. is a question of fact. 251 00:18:32,944 --> 00:18:36,675 Dr. House should have the opportunity to make his argument at a full trial. 252 00:18:36,747 --> 00:18:41,582 And this poor guy has got to stay on life support until we can schedule a trial. 253 00:18:41,652 --> 00:18:44,644 - Your Honor-- - Dr. House, 254 00:18:44,722 --> 00:18:47,987 I will hold you in contempt if you don't sit down. 255 00:18:48,059 --> 00:18:50,892 - I have a medical issue. - If it pertains to this case, your attorney-- 256 00:18:50,962 --> 00:18:53,863 It doesn't. 257 00:18:53,931 --> 00:18:56,399 Do you have any history of heart disease in your family? 258 00:18:56,467 --> 00:18:59,163 - Your Honor! - Your fingers-- 259 00:18:59,237 --> 00:19:01,705 They show signs of clubbing, which indicates a heart problem. 260 00:19:02,773 --> 00:19:06,607 Remember Bart Giamatti? Same thing-- Just dropped dead one day. 261 00:19:06,677 --> 00:19:10,044 - Please see your doctor. - He's admitted this isn't relevant. 262 00:19:10,114 --> 00:19:13,777 Can we get back to the motion? 263 00:19:13,851 --> 00:19:17,048 - Ofcourse. I-I'm sorry. - Your Honor, 264 00:19:17,121 --> 00:19:21,387 a person's right to control the treatment of their own body... 265 00:19:21,459 --> 00:19:24,189 is fundamental to understanding this case. 266 00:19:24,262 --> 00:19:27,891 A long line of cases, both federal and state, stand to-- 267 00:19:27,965 --> 00:19:31,901 Congratulations. Impressive legal argument. 268 00:19:31,969 --> 00:19:34,460 I watched Matlock last night. Say no more. 269 00:19:34,539 --> 00:19:37,872 I didn't notice any clubbing on the judge's fingers. Neither did I. 270 00:19:37,942 --> 00:19:39,933 So the family history thing-- 271 00:19:40,011 --> 00:19:42,479 Every family has some history of heart disease. 272 00:19:42,547 --> 00:19:44,481 And mental illness. 273 00:19:48,452 --> 00:19:52,149 Biopsy only shows inflammation. Start him on Cytoxan. 274 00:19:52,223 --> 00:19:54,817 You're diagnosing Wegener's based on a little inflammation? 275 00:19:54,892 --> 00:19:57,986 Well, unfortunately, I think we've exhausted all the tests we can do... 276 00:19:58,062 --> 00:20:01,554 in our capacity as the doctors that he doesn't want doing tests on him. Well, you don't-- 277 00:20:01,632 --> 00:20:05,329 We'll know I'm right if he starts walking. We can't do any more tests, but you want me to treat him? 278 00:20:05,403 --> 00:20:08,895 Medicine's in the pharmacy. Patient's immobilized in the I.C.U. 279 00:20:08,973 --> 00:20:11,635 Sounds like a simple geography problem. 280 00:20:12,777 --> 00:20:16,474 Are you asking us to jeopardize our medical licenses for this treatment? 281 00:20:42,173 --> 00:20:44,198 Can I help you? 282 00:20:44,275 --> 00:20:46,266 Uh, I'm Dr. House.

I'm Marty Hamilton, John Henry's doctor. 284 00:20:51,716 --> 00:20:53,650 We should talk. 285 00:20:57,021 --> 00:20:59,956 Appreciate any list of, uh, medications-- anything like that. 286 00:21:00,024 --> 00:21:02,686 I've started him on Cytoxan. 287 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,751 For Wegener's, right? 288 00:21:04,829 --> 00:21:06,888 Look, Greg. 289 00:21:06,964 --> 00:21:09,023 I checked you out, you know? 290 00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,467 I know you're a good doctor, and you have to appreciate that I'm a good doctor too. 291 00:21:12,536 --> 00:21:16,097 Why? Wegener's is one of the first things I looked for. 292 00:21:16,173 --> 00:21:18,903 The biopsy and the blood test were negative, just like yours. 293 00:21:18,976 --> 00:21:21,240 There's an error rate, Marty. 294 00:21:21,312 --> 00:21:23,371 And there's a time to let go. 295 00:21:24,415 --> 00:21:29,216 Look, I'm gonna take him off the ventilator, and John Henry's going to die. He's accepted that. 296 00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:32,882 Dr. Hamilton. Hey. 297 00:21:32,957 --> 00:21:35,255 How you doin'? Hey, how you doin'? 298 00:21:35,326 --> 00:21:38,762 - I'm sorry. I should have never put your patient on I.V.I.G. - It's not your fault, Eric. 299 00:21:38,829 --> 00:21:43,027 - No, it's mine, Eric. - That's not what I said. 300 00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,501 - Everybody asks about you out in L.A. - How's the old place doin'? 301 00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:48,765 Oh, this is wonderful. 302 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:53,606 But before you guys break out the oil, I should point out that you can't pull the plug. I have a court order. 303 00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:57,013 You used to, but-- 304 00:21:57,081 --> 00:21:59,208 I have the right to face my accuser. Judge said so. 305 00:21:59,283 --> 00:22:03,515 Not if no one's accusing you. All the charges have been dropped. 306 00:22:10,194 --> 00:22:12,219 He doesn't have to die. 307 00:22:15,099 --> 00:22:17,033 It's not Wegener's. 308 00:22:32,016 --> 00:22:35,179 If it's Wegener's, his lungs won't be able to handle it. 309 00:22:35,252 --> 00:22:38,244 Soon as they pull that plug, he'll die. 310 00:22:38,322 --> 00:22:41,382 That's why they call it "pulling the plug". 311 00:23:01,712 --> 00:23:04,044 I'm gonna miss you. 312 00:23:40,951 --> 00:23:44,944 - He's still breathing. - His O2 sats are holding. 313 00:23:49,894 --> 00:23:53,728 - He's holding his own. - He's still breathing. 314 00:23:53,798 --> 00:23:55,732 It's not Wegener's. 315 00:24:03,808 --> 00:24:06,641 Wrong again. 316 00:24:11,647 --> 00:24:14,741 He's stable, but one of his arms is now paralyzed. 317 00:24:14,817 --> 00:24:17,547 The real question is, why is he still alive? 318 00:24:17,619 --> 00:24:19,883 Do you think he's just being stubborn? 319 00:24:19,955 --> 00:24:22,617 He's alive because you were wrong. It's not Wegener's. 320 00:24:22,691 --> 00:24:26,752 Yeah. Seem to be doing that a lot lately. People keep living because of my mistakes. 321 00:24:26,829 --> 00:24:30,287 Progression of the paralysis pretty much confirmed Hamilton was right. It's A.L.S. 322 00:24:30,365 --> 00:24:33,630 - Assuming this is a progression of his paralysis. - He can't move his arm. 323 00:24:33,702 --> 00:24:37,001 Yes, his arm is paralyzed. Yes, his legs are paralyzed. 324 00:24:37,072 --> 00:24:40,906 Why is everyone so gung ho to connect those two conditions? 325 00:24:40,976 --> 00:24:43,240 You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to stop thinking. 326 00:24:43,312 --> 00:24:47,339 - How about this one? He's not our patient. - Nope. Not good enough. 327 00:24:47,416 --> 00:24:49,782 He could've suffered a stroke when he was intubated. 328 00:24:49,852 --> 00:24:52,412 Well, blood clots are common in paralyzed patients. 329 00:24:52,488 --> 00:24:55,218 The inactivity causes-- Not interested in why. 330 00:24:55,290 --> 00:24:59,021 - Let's get an M.R. angiogram, check for an embolic stroke. - He doesn't want you treating him. 331 00:24:59,094 --> 00:25:02,996 - They dropped the court order. - Yeah, and that girl dropped the charges against Kobe. 332 00:25:03,065 --> 00:25:06,125 - Doesn't mean he should call her and see if she's free to get a sundae. - Good point. 333 00:25:06,201 --> 00:25:08,362 But I can go within 50 feet of him now. 334 00:25:14,510 --> 00:25:16,501 You need me, you have 'em page me. Anytime. 335 00:25:16,578 --> 00:25:19,445 Okay. 336 00:25:34,897 --> 00:25:39,061 - Get out of here. - Sure. That makes sense. 337 00:25:39,134 --> 00:25:41,568 You hate me for saving your life. 338 00:25:41,637 --> 00:25:44,697 Well, in fairness to your side, you were also dying because of me, so-- 339 00:25:44,773 --> 00:25:47,936 - You knew I didn't want to be saved. - That's what's interesting. 340 00:25:48,010 --> 00:25:51,468 Your thyroid was low, but not enough to cause depression. 341 00:25:51,547 --> 00:25:56,507 So you came here to tell me that even if I can't walk, I can still hear the birds sing, 342 00:25:56,585 --> 00:25:59,577 enjoy a rainbow, the feeling of sunshine on my face? 343 00:26:00,989 --> 00:26:03,856 Those things are fun. 344 00:26:03,926 --> 00:26:06,759 Okay. Life sucks. 345 00:26:06,828 --> 00:26:09,194 Your life sucks more than most. 346 00:26:09,264 --> 00:26:13,098 It's not as bad as some, which is depressing all by itself. 347 00:26:14,202 --> 00:26:16,966 But do me a favor. 348 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,837 Just let me find out what's wrong with you. 349 00:26:19,908 --> 00:26:23,537 Then if you still want to kill yourself, 350 00:26:24,947 --> 00:26:27,745 I'll give you a hand. 351 00:26:27,816 --> 00:26:30,080 - That sound fair? - Yeah.

I haven't decided. 398 00:29:46,882 --> 00:29:49,578 You already have the most prestigious fellowship. It's a partnership-- 399 00:29:49,651 --> 00:29:55,146 Three times the money, car allowance, moving expense, pension plan, 400 00:29:55,223 --> 00:29:59,159 the chance to work for a guy who gives a crap what people think. Why didn't you just tell him yes? 401 00:29:59,227 --> 00:30:02,424 I made a commitment here. Right. 402 00:30:02,497 --> 00:30:06,661 House would let you out of it in a heartbeat. Or he wouldn't, just to jerk me around. 403 00:30:06,735 --> 00:30:08,760 Would you guys have taken the job? 404 00:30:08,837 --> 00:30:13,035 Don't need the money. We're not like you. I don't hate House. 405 00:30:13,108 --> 00:30:15,736 You guys really don't have a problem with him, with what he did? 406 00:30:15,811 --> 00:30:17,802 He knows we disagree with his choice. 407 00:30:17,879 --> 00:30:21,576 Choice? Chase, it's not apples and oranges. It's right and wrong. 408 00:30:21,650 --> 00:30:24,312 And he does it like he doesn't care. He assaults the guy... 409 00:30:24,386 --> 00:30:27,253 and moves on to the next differential diagnosis like it's nothing. 410 00:30:27,322 --> 00:30:29,313 What do you want from him? Hand-wringing? Torment? 411 00:30:29,391 --> 00:30:31,586 You want him to cry himself to sleep at night? Yeah! 412 00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:36,290 Yeah, I want some clue that he knows it's a big deal. That it scares him, that it matters. 413 00:30:36,364 --> 00:30:39,026 Whoa, whoa. What's that? 414 00:30:40,702 --> 00:30:42,260 It was a stroke. 415 00:30:43,505 --> 00:30:47,339 - Well done, Cameron. - House called it. The arm and legs are unrelated. 416 00:30:47,409 --> 00:30:51,311 Oh, you make enough calls, one of them is bound to be right. 417 00:30:51,379 --> 00:30:54,143 Yeah. He's just a lucky, lucky guy. 418 00:30:54,216 --> 00:30:58,380 Listen, listen. I just think it wouldn't hurt him to learn a little humility. 419 00:30:59,521 --> 00:31:01,455 So what's the verdict? 420 00:31:01,523 --> 00:31:05,459 Embolus. The arm problem was caused by a clot. 421 00:31:05,527 --> 00:31:08,018 There's a good chance we can bust the clot with T.P.A. 422 00:31:08,096 --> 00:31:11,395 Do it. See what happens to his arm. 423 00:31:20,542 --> 00:31:23,773 We found a blood clot in your brain. 424 00:31:23,845 --> 00:31:27,178 We'd like to start you on heparin. It's a blood thinner. 425 00:31:27,249 --> 00:31:31,743 - What are the side effects? - Well, your lungs are kind of chewed up from the pneumonia. 426 00:31:31,820 --> 00:31:34,414 - Good chance there'll be an effusion. - Bleeding? 427 00:31:34,489 --> 00:31:39,051 Into his lungs. It's our best chance to give you back the use of your arm. 428 00:31:39,127 --> 00:31:40,856 I don't need my arm without my air. 429 00:31:40,929 --> 00:31:44,421 - The damage would likely be minimal. - No. 430 00:31:46,434 --> 00:31:49,028 It's his call. 431 00:31:50,038 --> 00:31:52,768 Or we could do an embolectomy. 432 00:31:52,841 --> 00:31:54,775 Basically, we go in and pull the clot out. 433 00:31:54,843 --> 00:31:58,779 He's saying no to drugs, and you're recommending brain surgery? 434 00:31:58,847 --> 00:32:00,838 Bypasses the risk to the lungs. 435 00:32:00,916 --> 00:32:03,077 - It'll either help your arm, or-- - Or it'll kill me. 436 00:32:03,151 --> 00:32:06,882 From your point of view, it's a win-win. 437 00:32:06,955 --> 00:32:09,253 Okay. 438 00:32:09,324 --> 00:32:12,054 We'll set up the procedure for today. 439 00:32:23,872 --> 00:32:26,272 We're in your carotid artery. 440 00:32:26,341 --> 00:32:30,209 This is gonna take us all the way up into your brain. 441 00:32:30,278 --> 00:32:32,439 You all right? 442 00:32:32,514 --> 00:32:34,641 Yes. 443 00:32:40,755 --> 00:32:44,919 The sludge is blocking the blood flow to the part of the brain that controls your arm. 444 00:32:54,569 --> 00:32:57,367 All done. You still okay? 445 00:32:58,740 --> 00:33:00,674 I think so. 446 00:33:01,743 --> 00:33:03,734 I don't know. I guess... 447 00:33:03,812 --> 00:33:07,441 it's just with Dr. Hamilton here, I-I noticed a difference in styles. 448 00:33:08,516 --> 00:33:11,849 His style involves humility? 449 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,184 Another difference in our styles-- 450 00:33:14,255 --> 00:33:17,315 I don't care much for apologies. You can go. 451 00:33:17,392 --> 00:33:19,826 I didn't know you were standing there when I said that, okay? 452 00:33:19,894 --> 00:33:22,920 It was completely rude. Do you mean genuine humility, 453 00:33:22,998 --> 00:33:25,592 you know, with all the self-doubt and the self-questioning, 454 00:33:25,667 --> 00:33:29,535 or Hamilton's polite, patronizing, "Aw, shucks" humility? 455 00:33:29,604 --> 00:33:31,595 You're both excellent doctors. Thank you. 456 00:33:31,673 --> 00:33:35,939 And humility is an important quality, especially if you're wrong a lot. 457 00:33:36,011 --> 00:33:37,979 You've been wrong every step of the way. 458 00:33:43,385 --> 00:33:48,220 'Course, when you're right, self-doubt doesn't help anybody, does it? 459 00:33:53,962 --> 00:33:56,021 We gotta go. 460 00:34:03,905 --> 00:34:06,840 Congratulations, Greg. 461 00:34:06,908 --> 00:34:09,172 Congratulations.

He can use his arm. 463 00:34:11,479 --> 00:34:13,572 Thank you. 464 00:34:13,648 --> 00:34:16,173 Now, look, I know we've had our differences, 465 00:34:16,251 --> 00:34:19,414 but I think when a person does something well, it ought to be recognized. 466 00:34:19,487 --> 00:34:21,421 The phone works. 467 00:34:21,489 --> 00:34:25,391 Next time you want to make me feel all warm and fuzzy, leave a message. 468 00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:27,894 Don't get me wrong. I'm overcome with joy. 469 00:34:27,962 --> 00:34:29,589 - Doc. - Yeah. 470 00:34:29,664 --> 00:34:33,100 - What? - You just touched my leg. 471 00:34:33,168 --> 00:34:35,602 What, are you gonna charge me with assault again? 472 00:34:35,670 --> 00:34:38,537 No. 473 00:34:38,606 --> 00:34:41,200 I felt it. 474 00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:53,114 He now has feeling all the way up to the calf. 475 00:34:53,187 --> 00:34:55,587 This is the way medicine evolved. 476 00:34:55,656 --> 00:34:57,647 Patients sometimes get better. 477 00:34:57,724 --> 00:35:00,887 You have no idea why, but unless you give a reason, they won't pay you. 478 00:35:00,961 --> 00:35:03,020 Anybody notice if there's a full moon? 479 00:35:03,097 --> 00:35:05,156 You're saying he just spontaneously got better? 480 00:35:05,232 --> 00:35:07,826 No. I'm saying, let's rule out the lunar god and go from there. 481 00:35:07,901 --> 00:35:09,835 Something he's on is working. 482 00:35:09,903 --> 00:35:13,066 The enzyme replacement protocol is working, reversing the A.L.S. 483 00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:15,301 The timing doesn't seem suspicious to you? 484 00:35:15,375 --> 00:35:18,833 Do you think Dr. House'll see it that way, figure it's his medication doin' the job? 485 00:35:18,912 --> 00:35:21,073 I'm sure he will. 486 00:35:21,148 --> 00:35:24,208 It's one of ours. How do we figure out which drug is doing the trick? 487 00:35:24,284 --> 00:35:26,343 Easy. We just stop all of them. 488 00:35:26,420 --> 00:35:29,321 - One of those drugs is helping him. - And the rest-- 489 00:35:29,389 --> 00:35:33,291 steroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories-- They're toxic, if we leave him on all of them. 490 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,624 - He'll walk again. - Yeah. To his own funeral. 491 00:35:35,696 --> 00:35:38,290 But if we stop everything, he'll get worse. True. 492 00:35:38,365 --> 00:35:41,664 We'll add our medications back one at a time. When he gets better, we'll have our answer. 493 00:35:41,735 --> 00:35:45,398 - And if he doesn't get better? - Then we're in trouble. 494 00:35:45,472 --> 00:35:47,963 Not as much as he is. 495 00:35:48,041 --> 00:35:50,100 But I suppose that was your point. 496 00:35:52,946 --> 00:35:57,212 I assume you want me to convince Hamilton to stop his treatments too. Don't care. 497 00:35:57,284 --> 00:36:00,014 At least five of the medications are a part of his protocol. 498 00:36:00,087 --> 00:36:02,817 If his stuff was helping, the guy would be playing tennis months ago. 499 00:36:02,890 --> 00:36:05,222 It's our round of treatment that's helping. 500 00:36:05,292 --> 00:36:08,386 Right. So that's what you'll stop. 501 00:36:08,462 --> 00:36:10,953 It shouldn't be more than 15 or 20 minutes. 502 00:36:11,031 --> 00:36:14,865 So your philosophy is, if they don't want treatment, they get it shoved down their throat, 503 00:36:14,935 --> 00:36:18,735 - but if it might cure their paralysis, whoa, we better slow down. - Yeah. 504 00:36:18,805 --> 00:36:21,797 Yes, Doctor, I love it. My old philosophy used to be live and let live. 505 00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:26,642 But I'm taking this needlepoint class, and they gave us these really big pillows. 506 00:36:26,713 --> 00:36:29,910 - What's your philosophy on employee relations? - That's a very tiny pillow. 507 00:36:29,983 --> 00:36:32,713 Great. It sounds like you know what you're doing. 508 00:36:32,786 --> 00:36:35,346 Greg. 509 00:36:35,422 --> 00:36:38,152 - Can I have a word? - Can it wait for the commercial, Marty? 510 00:36:38,225 --> 00:36:40,989 Say hi to my friend Jimmy. 511 00:36:42,496 --> 00:36:44,691 Pleasure. 512 00:36:44,765 --> 00:36:46,756 Your diagnostic trial-- 513 00:36:46,833 --> 00:36:49,063 Seriously, commercial's in about five minutes. 514 00:36:49,136 --> 00:36:52,071 - That's a dangerous game. - Only if we're watching in the bathtub. 515 00:36:52,139 --> 00:36:56,269 I need to know exactly what medications you were giving John Henry. 516 00:36:56,343 --> 00:36:59,403 Forget it. And if Foreman tells you what John Henry used to be on-- 517 00:36:59,479 --> 00:37:01,913 - You're gonna fire him? - Nope. 518 00:37:01,982 --> 00:37:04,576 I'll make him live out every day of his two-year contract. 519 00:37:04,651 --> 00:37:06,619 - Foreman asked to leave? - Not yet. 520 00:37:06,687 --> 00:37:10,384 - But how do you know I made him-- - You're a polite twit, but you're not an idiot. 521 00:37:11,458 --> 00:37:14,655 I need to know what medications you've taken him off of. 522 00:37:17,531 --> 00:37:20,523 Wait a second. You're not an idiot. 523 00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:26,235 You need to know what medications I've stopped... 524 00:37:26,306 --> 00:37:28,240 because-- 525 00:37:30,911 --> 00:37:32,902 He's getting worse. 526 00:37:37,484 --> 00:37:39,816 Right now you still work for me. Come on. 527 00:37:42,489 --> 00:37:44,480 No feeling. No wiggling. 528 00:37:44,558 --> 00:37:48,050 Bad news is John Henry's back where he started. Good news is Hamilton looks bad. 529 00:37:48,128 --> 00:37:51,461 Yeah, it's not whether you win or lose. It's whether the other guy loses. 530 00:37:51,531 --> 00:37:54,022 What was the first thing we put him on? Steroids, for the pneumonia. 531 00:37:54,101 --> 00:37:56,763 Well, put him back on them. Give him 24 hours. See what happens. 532 00:37:56,837 --> 00:37:59,829 His lungs aren't great. They might cause another respiratory collapse. 533 00:37:59,906 --> 00:38:01,965 Sure hope not. I didn't much like that lawyer. 534 00:38:02,042 --> 00:38:04,442 And get an M.R.I. He already got one, and an M.R.A. 535 00:38:04,511 --> 00:38:06,911 Well, obviously something is different now. Do it again. 536 00:38:06,980 --> 00:38:09,972 Chase, take care of the scan. Cameron, put him on the steroids. 537 00:38:12,953 --> 00:38:14,944 We should probably talk, huh? 538 00:38:20,794 --> 00:38:23,354 Thin cuts. What levels? 539 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:26,365 T-9 through the cauda equina, same as the last time. 540 00:38:28,368 --> 00:38:31,269 You really think House would let Foreman out of his contract? He has to. 541 00:38:31,338 --> 00:38:35,035 If he doesn't, he's telling Foreman he needs him. House can't handle that. 542 00:38:41,348 --> 00:38:44,283 Oh, my God. 543 00:38:48,455 --> 00:38:50,446 I checked him out. 544 00:38:51,591 --> 00:38:54,754 He's a great doctor. 545 00:38:54,828 --> 00:38:58,559 - You think he's better than I am? - This about your ego? 546 00:38:58,632 --> 00:39:00,827 Answer the question. 547 00:39:02,602 --> 00:39:07,005 It's not gonna change how I think about myself. Might affect my opinion of you, 548 00:39:07,074 --> 00:39:09,838 but that shouldn't affect your opinion of yourself. 549 00:39:10,711 --> 00:39:12,076 Now I'm getting confused. 550 00:39:12,145 --> 00:39:15,774 If you think he's a better doctor than I am, then you should take the job. 551 00:39:15,849 --> 00:39:21,151 Otherwise, you should get him to buy you two or three more nostalgic lunches and then politely decline. 552 00:39:21,221 --> 00:39:24,418 It's that simple? I should just ignore the mockery and abuse? 553 00:39:24,491 --> 00:39:27,619 - Oh, how do I abuse you? - How do you not? 554 00:39:27,694 --> 00:39:30,424 - If I make a mistake-- - I hold you accountable. So what? 555 00:39:30,497 --> 00:39:35,230 - Dr. Hamilton forgives. He's capable of moving on. - That is not what he does. 556 00:39:35,302 --> 00:39:38,328 I screwed up his case. He told me-- He never said you were forgiven. 557 00:39:38,405 --> 00:39:40,339 I was there. He said it wasn't your fault. 558 00:39:40,407 --> 00:39:42,534 - So? - So, it was. 559 00:39:42,609 --> 00:39:45,442 You took a chance. You did something great. 560 00:39:45,512 --> 00:39:49,073 You were wrong, but it was still great. You should feel great that it was great. 561 00:39:49,149 --> 00:39:53,017 You should feel like crap that it was wrong. That's the difference between him and me. 562 00:39:53,086 --> 00:39:55,646 He thinks you do your job, and what will be will be. 563 00:39:55,722 --> 00:39:57,883 I think that what I do and what you do matters. 564 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,958 He sleeps better at night. He shouldn't. 565 00:40:06,133 --> 00:40:09,466 - Arteriovenous malformation. - Intradural.

It wasn't on the M.R.I. 573 00:40:28,622 --> 00:40:32,718 - Same anatomic location. - It's not there. 574 00:40:32,793 --> 00:40:35,990 - Well, what is there? - Nothing. 575 00:40:36,062 --> 00:40:39,225 Or something that looks like nothing. 576 00:40:41,234 --> 00:40:44,328 Background noise.
