I like how this flashback explains why House rarely thinks that people are faking for drugs. The same thing happened to him and he is in constant pain because of it.
Oh, he thinks they want the drugs alright. He just knows that it isn't relevant. Drug addicts get sick too.
@@shotgun6X True. He is just a good doctor and a good man, despite how much he tries to pretend not to be. That's what I love about this show.
@@shotgun6X and more often that non drug addicts
I'm still amazed House took so long to diagnose his own ailment....or that he was dismissed as a drug seeker.
For me personally, im a med student, at first i started to use tramadol for night shifts only and so rarely which were 36 hours hospital / 12 hours rest twice a week to help me stay awake, study, dont die of tiredness! after i recieved a russian covid vac shot unfortunately, it made my left ear deaf tomorow of it and heavy tinnitus thus continued cause it made me numb, but heavy this time, rn im clean but few points i wanna say, yeah sts people are in pain or heavy pressure or wanna get numb cause of tinnitus such as me as example, plus if youre a user at least where i live its easy to get from black market if you know the way! (Starwars ref) thus those who come to hospital here wouldnt risk it as we record all data to their national credit number digitaly, so its 99 percent of times pain - physically or mentally
"You've got about twenty seconds."
*goes into cardiac arrest*
"I was wrong"
He was wrong on the extension of his infarction and it took him about 20 seconds between realising and arguing with the nurse to the cardiac arrest.
I am pretty sure he said "What's wrong" To be a sarcastic jerk to the nurse.. Showing that she should have listened.
@@olivercline3065 He said "I was wrong." his "I" was broken due to him being out of breath.
He said about. So he didn’t say you got 20. He just estimated
I had this happen with a patient and he had an anterior STEMI the ischemia was getting wider, and st elevation was rising. I was on the ambulance and I was like oh hell hes gonna code. Sure as shit like 9 minutes later he was in vfib
Houses existence is like his own punishment in hell; he sees everything that could have been with the other two patients. If his diagnosis was correct, he could’ve been the volleyball player who kept her leg. If he had chosen to amputate, he could’ve been the farmer with the prosthetic who still had a fulfilling, active life. Instead, he got the worst middle ground: a leg that’s essentially useless and causes him constant pain. But that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that he could still get rid of it for a prosthetic and end the pain. He could get off his pain killer addiction, but his pride will never allow it. It’s the perfect prison: he could escape at any time, and he’s the only one keeping himself there. It’s this self awareness that’s the true torture
Brilliant articulation of words!
Congratulations you have discovered the meaning of life when we are trapped in the makings of Our Own...... what could have been
Here’s something I don’t understand, those two cases, the farmer’s and the volleyball player’s, he took them when he already had his team, which means after his leg surgery. So why did he see them when he was dead? If by the time he had his leg surgery he hadn’t took those cases yet. It doesn’t make sense. All I can think of is that what he actually saw was himself, in one scenario he saw himself exercising without pain on his leg and in the other scenario he saw himself with the prosthetic but since the audience didn’t now there was a gap in time between the cases, he used the cases to explain what he saw.
@@SnuffIt he didn't take them while he had his team I'm assuming
@@gregh5061 but in the episode, his team is helping him with both cases
I like how he just simply took a paper out of the machine, read it, called the nurse, diagnosed himself to her and THEN proceeded to have a cardiac arrest
House in a nutshell 😆
That’s him
That's how i would want a heart attack
God Forbid this
Amazing it's not like he could've stopped it
"On average, drug users are stupid."
*Tosses handful of pills down his throat.
Exactly. On average.
You do realize the person he's talking about was him all along.
On average!
LMFAO
On Average... lol
"i like my leg i have had it for as long as i remember"
Lol

I’ve had leg for yes
I got my leg for Christmas last year
I got mine at a pawn shop. Killer deal ngl
I love how the crowd in the lecture theatre got bigger and bigger. Everyone hates House, but knowing he's brilliant, flooded the thing!
Didn't even realize
Its basically the same scenario of the Japanese janitor he described in a different episode, everyone hated him and despised him but they knew he was the smartest person in the building so they respected him because they need him
Love the same thing. Each scene the crowd gets a little bit bigger eventually leading to a packed theater. It's very subtle and done very well and adds a lot to the episode. Also the reveal that it's house is one of the more iconic scenes of the series. One of my favorite episodes by far.
It's a symbolism for whose paying attention to his story. In the beginning, only a view. At the end of the story, everyone toons in.
Wait it got bigger hold up
God it’s so cool how house diagnoses himself going into wide complex tachycardia seconds before he can no longer speak.
Wide complex tachycardia
I just learned how hyperkalemia can lead to wide complex tachycardia and must be treated with calcium chloride or calcium gluconate
@@cockroachv seriously are you doctor? If no then you're wrong here... You just don't use calcium chloride...
@@jackyjack9660 lmao they’re wrong if they’re not a doctor? I man I agree but dumb logic
@\ジャッキー・ジャック\傑克傑克Jacky Jack FYI calcium gluconate is the first step in treating hyperkalemia. Prevents the cardiac arrest. Only then do you give other stuff to reduce the serum potassium concentration like insulin, some chelating agent, or worst case, dialysis.
“It is in the nature of medicine that you’re gonna screw up, you’re gonna kill someone. If you can’t handle that reality, pick another profession.” I love that it’s so true
and the ambulance chasing lawyers will pile on.
Hence the mandatory malpractice insurance. It’s not for the doctors it’s for the people left behind.
A sad reality
...or a really low-stakes specialty.
The fact that House was willing to be open about himself through a fictional medical case proofs that he's not so damaged as we usually think
I think it was more so to prevent it happening to someone else
plus no wonder he tried to cover it up as an attractive celebrity, he probably doesn't want to tell the story or even remember it.
Oh the dude is damaged. But he is brilliant. Not even sure how you help a guy like him. Chances of finding a shrink even close to his brilliance is slim. He would eat them alive. Well maybe if he got Robin Williams from Good Will Hunting. RIP
@@dextermorgan4093 everyone is damaged no one can be free from harm because of smart phones.
@@joebone3151 true
If he hadn't been brought back, House's last words would've been "I was wrong."
Irony. You gotta love it.
What's the irony there?
@@92brunod House rarely admits when he's wrong and ALWAYS has to be the one who's right in any given situation. So, if his last words are "I was wrong", that's irony.
@@robboyte1101 He constantly admits that he's wrong when he's given evidence of that, such as in this case. But ok.
@@92brunod nice take
@@92brunod eh, not always so easily. People who work hard to be right don't tend to take it easy when they're not, especially when the person proving them didn't have to work hard to do it. It's certainly a virtue to do so, but most virtues are hard fought in practice. There are times that he admits it quickly, other times he tries to gloss over it or downplay it.
Imagine having house as a patient. He knows way more than you could ever imagine about medicine and he’s ballsy enough to try anything that will work
He is one of the best patients. Anoying but he lets you experiment. That experience is priceless.
I know a doctor. They are the worst kind of patient, for themselves and the one taking care of them.
Reminiscent of doctor strange
I'm a trauma surgeon so I'd generally only be dealing with him when he's under high doses of ketamine or some sort of fleurane. Sounds good to me!
He is the patient in this series. The entire series is HIM. He's the patient.
Five years before the events of the series, House suffered an infarction while golfing. The infarction was an internal blockage of an artery in his leg. House refused to amputate and instead underwent a risky bypass surgery with an incredibly painful recovery process. The pain during his recovery was so bad that he was placed in a medically induced coma. This means that his then-girlfriend, Stacy, had control over his medical care since she was his medical proxy.
Ignoring his wishes, Stacy used her power as his proxy to have the dead tissue in House’s leg surgically removed. Leaving House in crippling pain, Stacy’s decision had shattered the trust between them, and her relationship with House ended quickly after. Ultimately, this is how House developed an addiction to Vicodin, and a sharpened cynicism to the world around him.
Ah that summarises it well! 🙌
Thanks for it, I now understand his backstory
And thus the phrase "Everyone lies"
Thank u, I only knew that his leg was dead, but u detailed it to the Bone, I’m grateful🙏🏾😌
True. Made sense. The three cases presented I think were all segments of the truth. Stacy was indeed his proxy. In some episodes later though House showed some bitterness of getting rid of a patient's leg as a "lower risk" alternative protecting themselves as doctors and not necessarily doing what was best for the patient. "Tell them it risks the leg, and they start to sharpen their knives!" I think this was personal to him too.
One story was of the addict trying to score. I think House was an addict or substance abuser even before his "golfing" accident. And it got worse when he got chronic pain from his leg.
I don't think that House resented Stacy for "making the wrong decision". I think he resented her because she left him after she became bitter from the decision he could not make that she made. He could have become bitter as an amputee as well. He felt that she didn't really love him when he descended into his struggles afterward. That's probably House feelings more abandoned and pushing her away a lot though.
This was much needed!
I like to imagine House acting the patient out in class while students just watched.
It is exactly what he'd do if he thought it was funny.
@@Nyzer_he was definetively acting the patient out, you can tell by how at first he just said "it hurts", and when a student said "he is faking it" he immediately switched to screaming pain
What I really liked about this episode, is that the lecture hall is virtually empty when House starts talking, and by the end of the episode, it is completely packed.
everyone was so invested

Honestly I wish House had a couple more episodes like this lecture hall episode. The way he addressed them, how he told the story about his leg and all the other patients, it was so brilliant. Would’ve been a nice change of pace from the usual episodes.
But at the end of this episode he tells Cuddy that he never wants to do this again.
@@DanielIKingNever thought I’d see the day he’d prefer clinic duty.
"I find it more comforting to believe that THIS isn't simply a test."
well done
Yup. The agenda that requires evidence. What's your agenda? The one that requires faith? We know it doesn't work and that prayer, if only meditative is like, well, meditation, which isn't a connection to 'higher meaning' so...your point?
@Thor Odinson Please don't embarrass everyone including yourself.
There is NO evidence for supernaturalism. None. Nada. Nil. Zero.
It lowers everyone for me to have to make such an obvious statement.
Please proceed with your evidence and no, your special book doesn't count.
It's not even close to a logical basis for evidence.
Thor Odinson that’s the nature of atheism. You can’t prove that something DOESN’T exist. Instead the proof that well, anything God-like exists is very minimal. I’m not an atheist, I’m an agnostic because I’m open to the possibility of life after death but the fact is that I’m unconvinced by any current theories.
@@geministargazer9830 Hypotheses really. A theory would have some established and accepted facts ;)
@Christopher Marlowe Sorry. You've spent a lot of time not reading much.
"Sure, we can break everything down to the atomic level and see what things are made of and how they interact with each other, but we have no understanding of how it actually works"
What have you NOT been reading. We have an awful lot of knowledge about quantum mechanics, physics, social interactions and psychology/psychiatry. Enough that you can literally fill libraries with the information. We know how the planets orbit larger bodies, we have an excellent understanding of the mechanics of gravity. We even found the particle that creates gravity. We have an excellent understanding of neuropsychology and chemistry. We know how the Sun works. Do we know 100%? Of course not.
You think that's NOT understanding how something works? You need to actually read.
Even more so, religion literally explains *nothing* about the world and nothing about how it works. It explains nothing about psychology, sociology, anatomy, neurology, chemistry, biology, cosmology, economics and an even greater number of things than I have space or time to list.
It's a frankly ludicrous claim to make that science understands nothing. Such claims can only be made by those that haven't read it or lack the capacity to understand.
I'd say you're one of the former.
THIS is why I ignore all of terrible bedside manner, cynical outlook and crabby attitude. This is how you establish a broken hero.
Loren Helgeson i think his drug problem also made him cranky. He either had to be high or be miserable. Plus its Vicodin very strong and if asbued itll make you more sensitive to pain.
Its true. my mother shattered her leg and was sent to the emergency room. They were gonna cut off her leg, but a surgeon who was going to get off shift (with terrible bedside manner) Stayed to repair her leg. The other surgeon would of just cut it off. Thanks to this man my mother is still walking.
Simone Volman well yes but not as worse as he is with his leg pain.
This ain't no place for a hero to call home.
Simone Volman kinda, I would have to watch the episode again, but they basically said he was always a jerk, but the leg pain made him crankier and obviously had a huge impact on him.
Woah thats a cool way to put it. "I find it comforting that this isn't simply a test."
PresidentialWinner just think of how long Infinity is. nothing will out live infinity. The afterlife just seems impossible
Go watch 'True Detective' if quotes such as this one put you up to thinking...
I have seen both seasons. Favourite quote has to be "I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self; an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."
Yeah mate, the whole show is beyond incredible.
It'd be great if you all stopped reproducing. Wouldn't have to deal with God denying folk attempting to brainwash their children.
Edit: This comment was in response to two others, comments not seen here anymore, that branched off of the comment suggesting that humanity should stop reproducing - something 400 liked.
I am gonna admit that I started bawling my eyes out when House said "I love you". Just hearing it from him made it feel so much more genuine. Hugh Laurie is such a gifted actor
I think it’s because House was such a complicated character, he kept everything for himself, so every time he expressed how he felt you could tell that it was 100% sincere
"I find it more comforting that this isn't simply a test"
I feel him on that honestly

This episode was a great excuse to have pantsless Carmen Electra on the show
Brilliant idea, really. Would have liked to have seen it developed further.
Amazing. Simply the best.
Her sweater screamed 2004 fashion
I didn't really understand that part of the episode... why was she there? Was she a hallucination?
@@Sdority905 It was a scenario made up by house. That whole bit was probably just him describing the situation.
6:52 the fact he was able to dianose himself and see he was about to go into cardiac arrest just goes to show you what an amazing doctor he really was!
cardiac arrest ;)
Loved the final twist in this episode and yet the hints were all there -- him saying he got tired of using middle-aged man, taking pills as he says 'drug addicts are stupid', the implication at 4:29 that the patient was a doctor, the camera at 4:50 focusing on his leg. If you paid attention, even in those seconds before Foreman identifies, you knew. Good lord, I miss this show
Plus the wild decision of grabbing the pain med and still properly administering it without causing more damage or breaking the needle, is such a desperate action that is so obviously House.
Foreman was a great, smart character in earlier seasons...
Don't forget how, when the patient switches from Carmen Electra to the first middle-aged man, he's wearing the exact same clothes as House at that moment. It's such a clear hint in hindsight, but it's easy to go over the head of anybody not already in the know.
He's basically telling the outside POV of the story of the injury in his leg
This paints a hard picture of why House needs the pills. He fears the pain. He doesn’t see it like being an addict. He sees it like an escape and no one can understand that.
Isn't that how most addicts see it though?
@@v0rtexbeater most addicts are not in real pain, some are some have a little pain, most have none.
@@scottmcshannon6821 objection! Withdrawal is actually pretty painful. At the point where you're addicted, you no longer can live without drugs and need to be weened off or withdrawal symptoms can actually cause really bad symptoms

"English" accent. Britain consists of three separate countries: Scotland, England and Wales. Of course if you are referring to the UK, there are four constituent countries: Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, all with VERY distinctive accents. Seriously, you say to your average person who isn't English that they have a British accent, you will be very quickly disabused of that notion.
@@zoe-janesutherland4359 I bet most Brits don't realize how many accents are in the U.S.. A person from New sounds different than someone from Boston. A Texan a Oklahoman. Your just as ignorant.
I like how the room gradually gets bigger as the episode goes on. Most of the doctors there don't know House's story so this is probably why they tolerate them as much as they do.
So... House was already a super-doctor before his legs got all messed up?

His last line hits me so hard because turning your life into a test devalues everything you live through as just a stepping stone to some greater reward instead of living each day like it’s an reward in and of itself
I'm stealing this as my quote lmfao
Both, both is good
Reducing belief in an afterlife to believing our current life is a test isn’t accurate anyway. At least to Christianity. The value of life, reality, here and now is always emphasized. To say life is a test from experience is more of a misconception from atheists, agnostics and poorly catechized laymen. Or something like an old gnostic heresy. Better yet, the modern meme/conspiracy theory that we’re in a Matrix simulation.
The way this episode slips from a simple lecture into House's actual background is breath taking. A clear standout episode.
"Three Stories" is the all time best episode of House.
I really didnt get the ," this isnt simply a test line". Care to explain?
This or House’s Head
@@57-nagapranith70 House was an atheist. He often pointed out that life here on Earth was the real deal, the only chance you get, and not just a test run, for when you die and go to the afterlife.

House forgot one medical career with a low patient death risk: pathology. If you have a live patient on the autopsy table you have a problem.
AltoClarBear Well, if a pathologist misses a cancer or is confused between benign and malignant, risk of death pretty much rises. Just saying...
Kay Rai Pretty sure I mentioned an autopsy table. So, you're saying a deceased patient can die again? If someone can come back to life while you're in the middle of the Y incision to let you know the attending missed a cancer diagnosis, that would be amazing. Just saying.
@@itsAltoClarinet Are you sure you know what a pathologist is? They are the ones who look at tissue samples under the microscope with specific dyes to diagnose and stage cancers, etc.
@@Denois95 I'm certain that a medical pathologist is a doctor. True, you don't have to have the pathology training to be a medical examiner but it helps. And yes, there are tons of off shoots of the field where you'll never interact with patients or their families. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers.
@@itsAltoClarinet please open robbins and cotran pathologic basis of disease (which is basically the bible of pathology) and tell me what you see. Autopsy techniques or light microscope slides?

I like the "middle ground" this show sometimes took. Saying "there is no scientific proof that there's something after death, but to be fair, there's no scientific proof that there's nothing after death."
That's because we just don't know, so as he said, we may choose to believe whatever we want. It's only fair we allow others the same privilege.
The VAST majority of “follow the science” people tend to claim the no proof is disproof.

In the end, Cuddy did not do what House wanted. He wanted to ride out the pain and was put in an induced coma. While he was in the coma, Stacy told Cuddy to do the "middle ground surgery" and it left House in pain permanently. If they let him ride it out, he would have had full use of his leg.
Or more likely, he’d be dead. The necrotic tissue was releasing chemicals that were killing his kidneys and fucking up his heart. There’s a chance he’d have made it, but there was also a significant chance he’d never wake up. I’m not saying Stacy did a good thing, but I’m saying there wasn’t a good choice to be made.
yeah but stacy probably saved his life. and cuddy was his doctor and had to act under her orders as his medical proxy so she didn't exactly have a choice. it was stacy's betrayal, not cuddy's. but i think house probably did resent cuddy for her role in what happened to him a bit, and i'm sure she felt guilt about it. which is one of the things which makes their relationship so interesting
That's not how medical proxies work though. If a patient is awake and competent, and they give a directive how they want the treatment to go, when they are sedated or in a coma, they generally can't be over-ruled if the treating physicians know the patient's wishes beforehand. @@peachydarl
@@StellaStarfalllife was giving her a crappy dilemma, and she was trying to pick the least crappy choice. Not easy for anyone to make but if house was conscious only his choice would have been the right one
He didn’t make it clear that he would rather die. It was unreasonable expect his loved ones cope seeing him in that state. Yes the doctors fucked up, but he bit off more than he could chew when he became critical. The necrosis would’ve probably gotten septic and the leg would’ve gone off anyway. Wishful thinking on his part.
I love how House goes “on average, drug users are stupid” and then pops a Vikodin
I loved this episode because it shows that even though a lot of people who work in the hospital don't like house as a person they respect him as a doctor.
the show was a treasure from the pilot.. it had everything including a moving believable closing arc.. bravo to all the people involved in the production
So this whole episode was him telling the story of his leg?
No, he explains a few medical diagnosis with the students through stories to test them on how much they know and one of the stories he tries to get them to interact with is his own albeit disguised as a drug addict's.
This clip is also missing one of my favourite parts of the episode.
The regular teacher was out sick, which is why House had to take the class. House diagnosed the 'diagnostic medicine' teacher, without needing to see them, while teaching the class all about how *he* had diagnosed himself, something the teacher apparently couldn't do...

MrPalmTree This show is based off of Sherlock Homles.
Except the pants are different and the shirt is a slightly different color. Its easier to get bc we already know how it ends but it's not obvious until you see the two of them looking at one another face to face.
Hugh Laurie is a global treasure.
Not sure if anyone's ever noticed this, but during the scene where House predicts himself going into cardiac arrest, at 7:05 in the video, exactly before he says 'or I go into wide complex tachycardia', his heart monitor stops beeping. He knew he was correct about what was going to happen, but as though going through the books of estimating how much time he has left from the moment he looked at the papers like a normal doctor, he says the nurse has about 20 seconds to prevent it from happening, and even though he likely ALREADY knew he didn't have that much time given he knew his heart already stopped and was functioning without any blood being pumped about in his body. He was just desperately HOPING he had those textbook 20 seconds, and you can see in his eyes and hear in his voice when he says 'you got about 20 seconds' that he doesn't believe that figure one little bit. Pair that with his own doctors screwing up his leg in the first place by going by the books, this last act of clinging to normal medical diagnostic procedures would mark the last time House would ever see going by the books to be anything but the wrong choice. 'I was wrong.' Indeed he was, and after doubly experiencing first hand the kind of thing a patient goes through when their doctor is wrong, you get a double dose of a cynical Gregory House when any patient he sees is ignorantly forcing him to do the wrong thing to them for reasons he knows are dumb because they'd be reasons bad doctors, like his own, would agree with.
Read a medical textbook and rewrite this comment rather than trying to sound like an intellect despite the fact that you clearly know nothing about medicine.
"I find it more comfortable to believe, this is not a test." Wow. That's a very powerful and honest statement
I can see it in House's eyes, "Please love me". He was so brillant that he doesn't know to express what and how he feels. Truly, nobody is perfect.
"I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test." wow
"I find it more comforting to believe that this, isn't simply a test" Man that is heavy AF
"I like my leg... I've had it for as long as I can remember"
Hmmm, yes. The floor here is made out of floor.
Floor gang awoo
Those doctors learned more in that one lecture than in 4 years of medical school.

The story of the show is a story of a medical heroin addict spiraling out of control. If he'd simply allowed them to take his leg, he would have been fine.
Emotionally, physically handicapped people recover. Happiness levels return back to normal once they learn to deal with their handicap. House never recovered from his drug addiction.
Yeah... he made it clear he regretted it later on.
So?
InfiniteSupermacy - Yes Vicodin is an opiate, heroin + morphine are Opium-based as well, hence why Martin called it "medical heroin". They may not be the same, but they have the same basis, plus the same addictive properties as seen in the show
Yes but he doesn't want to be anything like his father due to deep emotional issues. If he lost his leg he would see himself like his dad hens the vision. Either way house would be miserable
Cutting of his leg may not mean he will have a life without pain, he could still spend the rest of his feeling the pain in his leg because even though his body knows there is no leg his nervs is built in a way that they still belive it is there.
There may be a small chance that his leg will get better and he will feel no pain anymore by keeping it.
Or if cutting it of he could spend the rest of his life feeling phantom pain.
His leg pain right now can be controlled with pain killers, phantom pain you cannot
3 Stories.
One of the best episodes of the series!
Aman Sharma which episode from which season it this??
Hemant Hinduja Season 1 Episode 21
Thanks Aman!! Though i have watched all the series except 7,i couldn't recall.
“Why isn’t she wearing pants”
“Duh?”
😂
The "God, you were right. It's House" never fails to give me goosebumps.
This was a huge revelation on the show.
but guys you’ve been too serious lately we need more of the funny moments. Like when House scared Taub and Kutner
Sara Zonana Oh that was awesome! I thought they were going to pee themselves!
Christopher No that was just a lesson learned the hard way.
what about come on get happy
I miss this show, watched every episode and think I will binge watch it again.
This show has held up so well. Unlike others including comedies from that era. I.e friends
"I find it more comforting to believe, that this... isn't simply a test". Those words fucked me up and made me think deep for about a week and a half. I have listened to this multiple times, same effect every time.
Wdym I don't get it
@@yagosski8179 they say that to go to heaven, you have to be this 'Paragon of good Virtue'. And if you're a sinner, and DON'T decide to pick one out of who knows how many religions... You go to hell. Doesn't that sound like a multiple choice exam with a 'free response' section?
Choose the correct answer by encircling the letter. Explain your answer. (Infinite Marks. You pick wrong, have fun in the infernal pit.)
Your entire life. All your hardships and happiness. Boils down to one answer.
@devanto564 Except, at least in Orthodox Christianity, that’s not accurate at all. Believing life is just a test is more of a misconception from atheists, agnostics, poorly catechized laymen and gnostic heretics. There’s the principle of Infallible Ignorance for people who don’t know and can’t possibly have known, and then there’s the Harrowing of Hell too. The whole point of forgiveness of sins and mercy is that you get it even if you don’t deserve it. No, for Christians of Orthodox views, God doesn’t send you to Hell to suffer forever for failing an arbitrary test. You send yourself there because you reject Him and don’t want to live with Him for the rest of eternity, so instead you’re separated from Him forever. The suffering is a natural consequence of that, like a guy jumping off a roof and falling from gravity.

Alright, I think I've established the idea behind this show, now.
I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test.
That's the line that encapsulate the entire series. House's life was so bad after that incident that he just lost all hope of it ever getting better, and he just accept it and deal with it.
8:52 Chase literally being the prettiest Disney Princess
The complexity of hearing “ who diagnosed is” then hearing he did as they point to the patient is great
“I find it more comforting to believe that this isn’t simply a test.” Such great writing!
All his friends hate how cynical he is yet they themselves don't now how he feels and it's shown that when they were put in situations that tested them they ended up just like him yet they had him in their corner, someone that knows how they truly feel and was able to help them.
If Cameron was his attending that day, she would have saved his leg from what happened. That has to hurt him even more than if NO ONE got it right. If only he had Cameron.
"Which Carmen Electra is this?"
"The first one. The golfer."
"Then how come she isn't wearing any pants?"
Cyan Houdini you can point the obvious, good job.
Why is that student so confused?. Clearly a man with no filter would fantasize this.
@@cunningsmile4166 Because it means that House was acting out that she had no pants, which is unusual when you're talking about doctors who are supposed to be professional and leave sexuality out of it. They weren't yet used to the way House is.
i don't understand the question
I’m very happy that full episodes are being repeated daily in uk, I have them all on dvd anyway but still recording whilst I’m at work to watch again! Love this show
What I love about this episode, which is one of my favorites, is the more story he tells, the more full the room becomes.
5:11 the realization and SWITCH is just amazing.
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this, I still cry for house xx
Love you Hugh Laurie
Waited for this on this channel for a long time
Such great writing 💕
Tieia Middleton it was! This show was awesome :)
My favorite House episode of the whole series. I’ve watched it so many times and I’m constantly amazed by it. Just amazing writing.
Keep in mind he is retelling the stories, so I like to believe that when the scene where the guy starts screaming in the retelling, House was literally just screaming wildly in the classroom to play up the pain XD
It's on amazon prime for all those wondering where they can binge this amazing show
3:04 freaking love the way House just does that smile
1:07 rare footage of me actually trying to get out of school.
lol
😂😂😂
Never thought I'd be going through a similar thing at 17. I randomly developed a sudden blood clot going from my stomach to my left ankle, with a small separate clot in my left lung 2 weeks ago. The pain was absolutely unbearable. Paracetamol, targin and endone all eventually stopped working and I started needing injections of morphine. Had surgery last week, it'll still be a while till I can walk properly. I hope as long as I do my exercises, I won't develop pain syndrome and I'll be able to go back to school and sport...A lot has happened these past two weeks. Watching this video makes me feel better. I love this show.
Hope you ok?
Take care xx
God I Love this episode. I died on April 4, 2018 in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. I had a heart attack at work and as we were heading to the hospital I was laying on a gurney with an oxygen mask on and the paramedic was working over me. I heard a sound like rushing air and then Poof, I was floating on the ceiling in the ambulance looking down at my body and the paramedic. I was aware of myself. It was like I was warching a movie. Then I realized that was ME on the the gurney and I said " Godamn I must be dead" I immediately heard a voice behind my right shoulder. It said " It's ok to say Godamn". It was a kind voice that was comforting me rather than judging me. Then it said " It's not time yet" Then I saw the paramedic put these paddles on my chest and Wham, I was sucked back down in my body and passed out. I woke up a week later in ICU with a breathing tube down my throat and iv's in my arm and a tube up my taliwhacker. My brother told me I had 4 more heartattacks in the ER that day and he cringed every time my body jumped up when they Zapped me. My medical records say at one point I was dead for 13 minutes. I spent a month in ICU learning to walk again and talk again. I have a small degree of brain damage from being dead for so long. Short term memory lose. I have my phone number written down because I always forget it. I have an Experimental Defibrillator implanted in my chest with 2 wires going to my heart. My heart still stops on occasion and after about 20 seconds the Smart Defibrillator gives me an Electrical Smack and my hearts beating again 😊 SO pleasant when that happens. This is 2024 now and I still ticking. They replaced the defibrillator in Sept 2022 because the battery went dead from shocking me so many times. Here's to another 4 years.😊
You had a momentary hallucination while your brain was deprived of oxygen. You didn't die
Such a good episode. And this scene was incredible. Writers did an outstanding job.
I find it more comforting, knowing this isn’t simply a test.
"I find it more comforting to think that this isn't simply a test"
Deep...
"I find it comforting that this, isn't simply a test."
Deep man.
Love how the room starts out half empty, but by the end, its packed, and even his colleagues who were sassy were sitting in and actually listening
Excuse me non students in the back
You’re being rude disrupting the lecture
6:00 screaming in pain and his heart rate is 72 hahah
I miss House. Great show.
"Theres 20 seconds before i gk into cardiac arrest"
Goes into cardiac arrest 10 seconds later
"I was wrong"
i think the other cases depict the possible outcomes. the volleyball player is the case where the doctors would have searched more and found what he had sooner and saved him and the dog bite guy is if he had chosen to cut his leg off.
"Why isn't she wearing any pants?"
House's reaction. 😂😂
