Continuity mistake: As House describes the lady's symptoms, in the front shot Chase has a small book/pamphlet in his hand. The camera changes to a side shot in the middle of House's description and suddenly the book is on the table and no longer in Chase's hand. This happens right in the middle of House's line and Chase doesn't make any quick movements to account for this discrepancy.

Continuity mistake: Chase is doing the crossword and asks Foreman what the answer to the clue "iodine deficiency in children" is. The close-up shot of the magazine shows Chase has already written the answer in (cretinism), so why is he asking Foreman the same question?
