4 corrected entries in season 4

(4 votes)

Whatever It Takes - S4-E6

Corrected entry: When House is talking to the CIA agent at the beginning of the episode, he is watching his team in the other room through a window. There is no window in the doors or next to the doors, and the doors are shut.

Correction: It is an open door, he even says "would you mind closing the door?"

Living the Dream - S4-E14

Corrected entry: During the scene where House opens the door of the limo to escort Brock into the hospital, he explains that his reading speed has slowed from 2.1 to 2.9, which is an increase not a decrease.

Correction: He means the time taken to read a line - he's taking 2.9 seconds rather than 2.1 seconds.

Ugly - S4-E7

Corrected entry: When House is walking out after screening the movie, Cuddy says, "Where are you going? Rescue kittens from trees, read to deaf kids?" Reading to deaf kids makes no sense. You would read to blind kids.

Correction: Cuddy's trying to wind him up. It doesn't have to make sense. In fact, given that she's trying to push House's buttons, the less sense made, the better.

Captain Defenestrator

Season 4 generally

Corrected entry: Doctors can't just randomly work in any department they feel like. Cameron, an immunologist, is not qualified to work in the ER. Chase, on the other hand, is, as he is specialised in emergency medicine, but he works on the surgical staff despite being neither a surgeon nor an anesthesiologist.

Correction: It's stated that Chase works as some kind of assistant in the surgical team, the surgeons are referred to as his bosses. With Chase having his time in House's team on his resumée (House obviously has quite a reputation) he would have no problem getting a job like that. As for Cameron working in the ER, well, not many doctors want to work in busy ERs so they pretty much take what they can get, even doctors that technically aren't qualified (or so my mother tells me, she works in one). Also, again, working with a famous doctor like House gives advantages.

House, M.D. mistake picture

Kids - S1-E19

Factual error: When House is looking over his whiteboard of symptoms for the swimming patient, the symptom "Intercranial Hemorrhage" is shown on the board. However, this is an error. The correct term is "Intracranial Hemorrhage." Anything inside the head is referred to as "intra" not "inter." This is a common mistake for laypeople, however the highly trained and knowledgeable Dr. House should not have made that error. (00:31:25)

Joy to the World - S5-E11

Trivia: This episode contains another reference to Sherlock Holmes. Wilson tells the (fictional) story of who had sent House a present. Wilson says it was one of House's first patients called Irena Adler. He then explains that House had feelings for the patient, but did not take it any further and therefore regards her as the 'woman who got away'. Irene Adler was an adversary who bettered Sherlock Holmes - the woman who got away. As it happens, the fist patient House treats in the pilot episode is called Rebecca Adler.

Whatever It Takes - S4-E6

Question: In this episode, Cuddy gives House crap about lying that he was working for the CIA. Exactly how did a CIA helicopter land on the hospital roof, and the hospital's dean not notice it?

Answer: She would have No Reason to know it belonged to the CIA. If she did know he went off in the helicopter, all she would know is that it wasn't an ambulance helicopter.
