What does the "M.D" stand for in the title of this show? [Medicinae Doctor in Latin which is Doctor of Medicine in English.] Answered by Myridon In the last episode of Season 1 (Honeymoon) towards the beginning when House first asks for a diagnosis from the other 3 doctors, he asks something along the lines of "Have I missed anything?" after he explains what to do. After he says that Dr. Chase says "Kitchen sink" House starts to say something then stops and says "Oh, you minx" What did Chase mean when he said kitchen sink? [It comes from the phrase "Everything but the kitchen sink." He's saying that House has thought of "everything but the kitchen sink."] Answered by Garlonuss What exactly is wrong with House's leg? [He had a thrombosis - basically a blood clot in the muscle of his leg that cut off the blood supply and caused part of the muscle tissue to die. The second-to-last show of the first season explains the circumstances in detail.] Answered by Myridon Do we know if Cameron is Allison's maiden name, or her married name? [As of the middle of season four, it's not been revealed.] Answered by TailkinkerLove Hurts (series 1)
I'm not sure if this is the right episode. My question comes from the episode about the girl with cancer and the brain tumor(recent episode) What is the song that House is listening to before and after the others come into the showers to listen to the heartbeat? ["Nessun Dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot". The episode was "Autopsy".]The Socratic Method (series 1)
In "The Socratic Method," Lucy Palmero (the patient with supposed schizophrenia) has a book that is read to her throughout the episode - the quote most often used is "I will talk no more of the long war" or something similar to that. What book is this from? I tried to spot the title when watching the episode, but I couldn't get it. [The line, "I will talk no more of books or the long war" comes from a poem called "Her Praise" by WB Yeats, so the book could be one of many collections of poetry or Yeats' poems. You can read the poem here if you'd like: http://www.bartleby.com/148/21.html.]Maternity (series 1)
Two questions: What is the Socratic Method of teaching and why is it the best teaching method? [House references Syd Barret, not Dave Gilmour, because Syd is a schitzophrenic, just like Socrates and Issac Newton were. House was talking about how some of the great people in history were schitzophrenics. The Socratic Method, defined, is "where questions (and only questions) are used to arouse curiosity and at the same time serve as a logical, incremental, step-wise guide that enables students to figure out about a complex topic or issue with their own thinking and insights."]Occam's Razor (series 1)
I apologize I guessed at the episode, it was the one which featured Brandon, the boy who had the pills mix up and had sex with his fiancée at the beginning. I’m a little confused as to the ending, what was the significance of the letters on the pills? Why did the two doctors make a big deal about it when Brandon told them about it? Why was House so pleased to find those two pills in the inventory? It seemed like a sudden end to me. [You have the right episode. The big deal at the end about the letters on the pills was to show that Brandon had the wrong pills all along. House was smiling because he was right.] Answered by MoonFaeryAutopsy (series 2)
Who sung the version of "Beautiful" at the end of the episode when House is riding the bike? [Elvis Costello covered Beautiful especially for House M.D.] Answered by GarlonussAcceptance (series 3)
In the season three premiere, House runs several miles on his leg, now that he is pain-free. Is that even logical? He had a large part of his thigh muscle removed, and can he really run like that without it? And furthermore, wasn't it the lack of muscle which made him need a cain, rather than the pain?You may also like: The Simpsons | Star Wars | I Am Legend | Friends | Cloverfield
