Yea, yea, yea but there isn't a lick of truth behind it. House already had an opiate tolerance one shot of liquor isn't gonna do anything for a methadone patient unless they went way overboard
Having stubble seems to be some American stereotype. The British actor who plays a role in The Walking Dead has the same look. I think that's just for the role as well.
If you rewatch this episode you will see that Wilson already suspected house was on heroin and that was why he invited him out. He figured it out hours before foreman did.
That first part really hit me. His friend(s) are worried about him, but he just wants to stop his pain. He would rather leave his career to stop the pain as his friends doesn't know the pain his feeling.
@@65MaX73 If I recall correctly, didn't they prove that his pain is psychosomatic (a mental construct) when they gave him a placebo and it worked just as well?
Now think of all of the chronic pain patients that are being denied pain medication because of the CDC guidelines that have restricted access to these drugs...addicts are looked after while people that are miserable with bone disorders and even cancer are thrown under the bus.
It rarely gets put into perspective in just how much pain House is in on a daily basis until you see an episode like this where he would rather take the risk of dying and quitting his job to be rid of it. And a person who suffers from chronic knee/leg pain from a motorbike accident over 10 years ago, I know the angry feeling it brings to wish it would go away but never will and age adds to it and you feel even worse knowing it will also do so.
I agree, I'm 20 and I have chronic pain ( multiple sclerosis dx age 14 and fibromyalgia dx at 15, and many more since then ) and I've always loved this show just because of the chronic pain aspect. So relateable.
I don’t even have “chronic pain” as some people do...but I do suffer from Cluster Headaches; and there’s just something about the pain when you KNOW (or always feel) that it’ll be there. That you can’t get rid of it. That nothing helps. Some people fail to (good for them) experience this factor and thus don’t understand the true depth of the suffering it causes.
Елена Чуйко His actions indicate that he cares about the puzzle more. Not that some patients didn’t get through to him. But I’m talking 95% of the time. Being the smartest gave him purpose. Made him a martyr. It was where he placed his entire sense of self, and meaning in life
Not "a better doctor". "A smarter human". House does care about his patients, to some extent hehe, but he cares even more about being smarter than everybody else.
Sure house was an ass before his leg infection. But judging how his friends spoke about him or to him , he wasn’t as bad as he was now. He didn’t push away loved ones. The pain made him worse
in case it wasnt a typo and you dont know what an infarction is, an infarction is when an aneurysm (a weak spot in the arterial wall with a large build up of blood) where the large build up of blood clots. this kills all the tissue surrounding the infarction, and the muscle releases toxins. it is risky to just cut off a chunk instead of just the leg, but instead of being an amputee, he took a risky surgery where they cut out a tiny bit of muscle, and the cost for his leg, was excrutiating chronic pain which led to his addiction to vicodin. god i went off there...XD
@Julie W. haha, true. I used to have a chronic pain issue for several years non stop, and once my sister told me that I was just using my pain as an excuse for being a bitch to people around me. I wished at that moment she suffered the same thing as me.
Nah he was always an insufferable asshole. I forget which episode but Wilson said he met House when House was in his early 30's and he still was a prick. Does his condition amplify his asshole ways, sure, but this is who he is.
Wilson's casual surprise at House having two ties is, for some reason, my favourite part of this sequence. Probably because they're just so chill with each other in that scene.
One of my favorite moments in the series. I think I’ve only seen him walk a straight line a couple of times before without the cane. To see him do that again and hear him say “My leg doesn’t hurt anymore” is both sweet and cruel. Sweet because we want him to be pain-free and happy(we’ve been with him for five season at this point I think) but cruel because we know he doesn’t know how to function as a broken man. He made one mistake using the methadone and he quickly retreats back to being in severe pain. It takes more than a day to adjust to one extreme to the next. Had he killed the patient then it might have been a different story. But he didn’t. The fact that he cause a case, was enough to go back to his old habits and lifestyle. Addiction behavior 101.
It may be hard for most to understand, but for those with a "gifted" IQ or above, a severe drop in intellect is its own pain, and can be quite alarming. I have experienced this, due to medications, and also chose to not take the medication that would sooth the physical pain from a lumbar injury. You have to understand that there is often a give/take relationship in skills and abilities, where we excel in intellect (information retention, "depth of understanding" (aka cognition), problem solving, and pattern recognition), we lack in social skills (empathy, understanding social cues, interpersonal relationships, etc.). When you lose your intellectual abilities, and don't have the social aspects of life to carry you through, the distress is overwhelming, and unbearable. I believe there was an episode that touched on this reality from a little different perspective; I think it was a nuclear engineer (or some other type of physicist), who was drinking cough syrup to lower his IQ so he could have a relationship with his wife. These are the realities that exist in the world that so many wish for, while the "gifted" (I hate that label) simply wish they could be understood, and have a healthy relationship with others. Remember, not all pain is physical, it is often worse.
@@gerff01 It's not just a drop in IQ, a mere drop in curiosity can put one off medicines. Got on methylphenidate once, thought it made me happier, until I forgot a dose once and completely lost myself in exploring some subject, at which point I realised how much I missed that. Didn't really want to take it after that. Still, as to the trade-off, social skills can be learned, and highly intelligent people tend to be good at learning. It won't be as good as those with an innate knack for it, takes a lot of work and some self-conditioning, and is best begun in childhood, but improvement is certainly possible with constant attention. Can recommend putting in that effort, even at the potential cost of not putting as much effort into being brilliant. Other than that, it helps to seek out people who can keep up with your thoughts, or at least follow along. You can get used to usually being the smartest person in the room, it's hard to get used to there being a large margin. House does have such people: while he's the one with the brilliant ideas, he's at least surrounded by people who understand what he's saying with a relatively brief explanation. Other than that, it might be wise to branch out: you'd give up excelling in a single field, but can become really good in several while remaining in sight of other people.
@@gerff01 except then I found out that cough Med doesn’t work that well to lower mental functions, sedatives do but they could impair you so let’s see what other meds can safely lower IQ with some possibilities of social interactions.
Methadone is a miracle drug. Helped me get off heroin after a brutal and severe 10+yr addiction. Would be nice if this show didn't make methadone look like another opiate to abuse.
@@TheBestMovieAlive Methadone is another opiate, it's just useful when administered by trained professionals. When abused, it's just as addictive and dangerous as heroin.
This episode made me bring up methadone with my doctor about 10 years ago. I'm so glad I did. It saved my life by dramatically reducing my pain and taking away my suicidal planning. It's a dangerous drug but it's amazing as a pain medication and I thank God for it's invention everyday.
Yea I don’t understand why they went so hard on methadone! No if you miss time your dose you won’t die! I’m surprised he hasn’t nodded off with how much Vicodin he takes! This show makes a drug the helps a lot of people seem like its kills all the people who had a drink or fell asleep!
@@jrwill58 yeah i was so pissed off at how they portrayed methadone that i could barely watch it. they acted like him being on methadone was worse than the heroin they thought he was using. anyone who saw this and didnt have experience with methadone, would walk away believing that the drug is lethal
Merci pour votre commentaire ! Étant moi même dépendant aux opiacés et traité avec de la buprenorphine je souffre de douleurs chroniques et j'envisage de peut être passer à la methadone...est-ce vraiment un analgésique aussi puissant ? Plus que la morphine ?
It's unbelievable how Cuddy loved House in so many ways and the guy still doesn't listen to who want to protect him. Emotionally sad, artisticly brilliant.
This story arc was very good. It deserved more than one episode. No wonder they had no idea where the story could go in the last seasons: they used some ideas too quickly!
That and many actors had to leave and such. So much potential for alot of their ideas, if they had the funding, I'd imagine how much better the show's plot could've gone
It's not like they knew they'd need material for 8 seasons from the start. The show might not have lasted that long if it didn't have some standout episodes like this one every season, which compressed enough story for a movie into one great episode.
@@cactusmalone was absolutely hooked on Walking Dead in the beginning, but it developed annoying plot repetition and loopholes that just soured it for me. Not sure if that was a financial issue or a writing one.
@@Karma-qt4ji The issue was in both. Why Darabont left was because AMC/producers did not want to spend any money on the show, despite how big of a hit it was. Two things that made me stop watching the show: 1. The season would stay almost entirely grounded in a single location. Be it the farm, the prison or some compound. 2. The episodes that focused on just a few characters. This was the biggest hint that they were trying to keep the show costs low. Actors are typically paid by the episode and if you limit the episodes they appear in, you get to lower the costs significantly. Those were basically filler episodes. The show clearly had financial restrictions and it shows in the writing. Most of the structure was the same thing over and over. And the cast... so few characters saw multiple seasons of screen time. Thankfully most of them were the original members, but still. The show rarely committed to new characters and I bet it was due to budget restrictions. Why renegotiate someone salary when you can just hire someone else for the same money or even cheaper?
@@dannuman6510 When administered frequently in small doses, sure. Unfortunately that often leads to assimilation, which means the patient will require ever increasing doses at more frequent intervals... until their liver ceases to function entirely and they die. Take it from a veterinarian, ketamine is a far better pain management drug than methadone and much safer to correctly administer.
@@dylanwight5764 now i get it why in one of the episodes House asked his "idiots" to administer Ketamine to him. But I suppose Ketamine are some kind of anaesthetic, aren't they?
@@kissofdeath4449 Indeed it is. I use it to sedate cattle and horses. The trick with ketamine is that it acts as a sedative when administered intravenously and as an anaesthetic when administered orally. It also acts as a quick trip to the ER when some moron at the club tries to snort it.
Neither you. The whole point of season 6 was that House's pain was by that point more "psychological" than anything. With proper therapy AND distracting his mind he could live without pain, the problem is that House can not stand emotional pain as good as anyone else (you could say he is more "fragile" in that way) so whenever he faces a serious shocking problem (like Cuddy's cancer) he easily goes back to his "easy escape route" (drugs).
That's the major point of the entire show. Nobody knows the amount of pain he is in. Even house doesn't know if the pain is real or psychological which makes the show more intriguing.
@@theoneitself House: "And no, I don't have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm too stoned to tell". XD
One of my knees used to fill with fluid (very little, but enough to cause pain). The pain made me put more weight on my other leg, which, due to stress, also started to hurt. I ended up limping because of the increased pressure (gone now). Maybe something similar happened. The forced limp stressed his leg out and made it hurt to walk on properly
"It's done. This is the only me you get." I don't know why, but that line in particular is so heartbreaking to me. It's like House has resigned himself to thinking he can only have worth as a doctor as long as he remains in pain.
House isn't interested in being a good doctor. He's interested in being one of the greatest living medical minds. To him, being less would be equivalent to willfully endangering his patients care, as he is no longer the best doctor they could ask for. Contrary to his typical attitude, he DOES take patient care very seriously.
You have to be fair, he has a point. Any sort of person that offers you happiness is either tricked by society and the media into assimilating others into the positivity cult or think they care about you and either way any sign of affection or unearned respect should be ignored. They might pretend to care, or maybe they do care, but people mist learn how to be counter against a cult like positivity and the overall herd.
@@NewWesternFront I might be reading into it too much, but I don't think they were necessarily "demonizing" it, more so trying to stress that House obviously has addiction issues with a drug that's proven to be highly addictive and dangerous with regular use.
@@arcopolo8993 , if you’re not willing to die for your dreams and ambitions than those dreams and ambitions are meaningless which is an objectively truthfully factual correct quote by the way because apparently both Cuddy and Foreman aren’t willing to die for their dreams and ambitions like Chase, House, and Wilson are, so clearly their dreams and ambitions are meaningless.
His pain made him miserable. No pain, he's able to relax and he's happy. He's content. Life with no pain is better than a life of misery and discomfort.
@@captainmarvelous7678 , if Cuddy had just let him work at a different hospital, or him working his life permanently as a perfect professional chef than he wouldn’t have gone back to extreme pain and crashing a car through her house which is totally justified because only Wilson in the series finale truly understood the actual pain House goes through.
I mean.. I feel this on a personal level tbh. I had the career of my dreams.. and then chronic pain started. House put it in terms I think sums it up pretty nicely; "I live in pain everyday. Pain that on good days is just manageable. Pain that on bad days will suck the absolute life out of you." My employer gave me a choice of working without the medication I needed, or bye bye. I chose to leave. You will never make me choose between lack of pain or a job.
That's... illegal, I think. Probably depends on the exact laws where you live, but it probably falls under discrimination against disability. Unless your employer had a specific reason to be unable to accommodate usage of prescribed medicine (I imagine pilots and the like aren't allowed narcotics for safety reasons), they should've accepted what the doctor determined was necessary.
It's definitely illegal. If you live in US or Canada that is. Or if you're not a pilot or something. It's called discrimination against disability. Your employer cannot fire you just because you use pain medication.

It is because of this channel that I actually watched the whole show. Let me tell you, you need to watch it. Watching House’s journey fighting his pain is just heartbreaking.
I caught a mistake after watching this clip a lot of times, when Wilson talks with House at his apartment House picks the red tie, and then when he talks to Cuddy at 7:22 he has the blue one , lmao!
@Christopher Marlowe If you think you can't get high on methadone, you also, are an idiot (in the words of Wilson). You may not get "as high" as heroin, but you definitely can get high.
Are you saying that an actor, acting differently due to a character deviation, is something that shouldn't happen? Or are you conjecturing that your observation of this variance implies superiority?
@@gerff01 Methadone will not explicity get you high everytime. It has the possibility although one would have to take ridiculously high amounts of it to the point of almost overdosing. Someone with as high a tolerance to opiates as house is not going to get high off of methadone. He certainly wouldn't be less able to function than he was on vicodin and he wouldn't be close to vomiting or dying after mixing a single shot of alcohol with it. This show got it wildly wrong.
@@BobbieBins the context is cuddy nor wilson realized just how much it meant to house to have no pain, so until they realized that they were against him using it. Once they realized that he could be no longer miserable they wanted him to be on it, but at the same time house realized being happy would cause him to make worse decisions so he decided to stop taking it for the better of the cases. That is the context.
Man, as someone in recovery I feel so bad for House. I had a bad back since 13 breaking my deformed tailbone making it impossible to sit or lay down or stand for too long. It messed my life up. Still hurts but is manageable now at almost 23
@@llgla I have tried everything, the way my tailbone was deformed and broken again is in a 90° inward 'L' shape. So it's odd because no matter what I sit on it is the way it's been deformed that's made it painful
@@Audreyreagan.s I'm so sorry, my mom uses massage therapy for her pain and that helps some. Is there any way they can do a surgery to reverse it? Or at least lessen its effect?
Where do you live? I know that there are only a handful of surgeons in Europe who can do the kind of pelvic reconstruction surgery you might need, but it's worth looking into of you haven't already and if the pain is still drastically diminishing your quality of life
The last line. “This is the only me you get.” If only every person has the courage to straight away speak up our feelings and not bother about others feelings being compromised, we would live a much satisfactory life. Atleast I take this episode this way..
he never had a interview. Subtle nod but when he is getting ready he outs the red tie on. Then he shows up at Cuddy;s two hours before the interview in the blue and silver tie. You could say he changed his mind but this is House.
1:02 "Well that would certainly explain the inappropriate responses." That's actually kind of a genius response there. Could easily be interpreted as a medical comment.
Methadone is actually an amazing painkiller. Although it’s a violently awful thing to get off of. It’s been used for a long time to stop using opioid painkillers and heroin. I’m super confused with why they’re acting like controlled use of methadone is some how more dangerous than Vicodin. If he’s going to a daily clinic he’s monitored and far safer than he would ever be on Vicodin.
Honestly this episode was written at the height of "The War On Drugs" so without having House on Heroin they choose a drug people associate with it to make it look like he's gone off the deep end. Which is absolute bullshit because he wouldn't be getting the same high on Methadone. If anything, this episode proves that House is in pain and it's not in his head. Oh well, some people will never understand the kind of pain some humans have to live with on a daily basis.
Mini Guts Ok, so I realize Hugh Laurie is an actor playing House. So it's hard to explain what I mean by how House looks like Hugh Laurie when he shaves his beard.
just watching these scenes on youtube, i can feel cuddy's stress...she loves him and just wishes he could be happy. but he always refuses to compromise. he refuses to be happy. and when something manageable for him was so close now yet so far away, i can feel her heartbreak. its hard to love and care about someone who is so self-destructive to their own emotional and physical health. that's why i personally don't allow myself to get too close to someone like that. its pain for everyone involved
"You think that I'm on heroin." That's scary impressive. He figured that out in less than a minute. Also, if he was on heroin, shouldn't he be falling asleep (nodding off) constantly?
It turns out House was actually on methadone. It's used by clinics to wean people off their addiction to heroin but it doesn't have all the side effects of heroin. It made House pain-free but it interfered with his judgement.
@@KneelB4Bacon Methadone got me off heroin and saved my life. It is an amazing drug and it bummed me out seeing this video say House will die if he stays on methadone.
@@TheBestMovieAlive They aren't wrong. Methadone fucks up the liver and kidneys really badly if used exstensively. It also has far worse withdrawl effects than heroin believe it or not. You're far more likely to die from methadone withdrawl than heroin withdrawl. I'd sooner use cannibas to ween someone off of opiate abuse, it's been shown to have genuinely thereputic effects on those suffering from opiate withdrawl. Not as good as methadone, sure but it's far safer.
@@sketch3744 Methadone does not have toxic effects on the organs. It is commonly used in treatment of chronic pain or as a maintenance medicine for opioid addiction, they don't use just it to ween people, many people take it in high doses many years or for life. Vicodin would be much more toxic in the amounts House takes, it's a combination drug with Paracetamol (Tylenol) in it. Methadone is used long term in many patients, often at high does. I have been on Methadone 5 years now, on 220mg a day - and I can raise my dose in 5mg increments if I choose. My dose is way higher than what House would take since he only has a Vicodin habit. I take it in liquid form, but to put it into perspective Methadone pills (for chronic pain) come in 5 + 10mg - meaning I take the equivalent of 44 or 22 pills respectively, per day. Methadone withdrawals are worse than Heroin in my opinion, they are less intense but much longer in duration, so I'd say you are correct there. Opioid withdrawl is rarely fatal, and when it is it is only due to a complication (underlying conditions, or if let yourself get too dehydrated etc..). It's alcohol, benzodiazepiene and barbiturate withdrawals that can be fatal.. Cannabis though, does pretty much nothing for withdrawal. Opioid withdrawl overrides the effects of most everything.
I feel like Cuddy’s talents as Dean of Medicine are often overshadowed by House. She handles someone as difficult as House extremely well, she’s not a pushover, she’s able to convince others to do what she wants, she’s such a great character and truly a force of nature in the show.
After house walks out you can see Cuddy beginning to smile alitte I always thought that was her with a spark of hope forming that she was gonna get her friend back to who he used to be
4:40 was a deep scene for me. I have a medical condition that causes pain. I took a drug that a job I took didn't like, but was legal. I decided to leave rather live with the pain too. I'd rather feel normal.
Your comment is completely spot on about both Cuddy and Foreman as characters that unlike House and Chase they’re both extremely hypocritical SJWS that if the series progressed after the Season 8 finale the show would gotten much much worse as the series progresses.
"Why do you care if I'm happy?" I understand that because even to my friends which I have very few, I have little empathy towards their good wills. It's just how I operate, I've been backstabbed too many times for me to have trust in others opinions nor care for their feelings towards matters that make them uncomfortable.
4:50 that is the face of a person who is trying to reason with someone without having the slightest fucking clue about what the person is actually going through. Anyone who has experienced 24/7 nerve pain will know you will choose lack of pain over ANYTHING... Around the clock nerve pain will REALLY drive you crazy. I remember when I had my C5-C6 disc collapse and the nerve was in constant squeeze... I was in horrific upper body pain 24/7 with no way out of it.... I was literally inch away from suicide after not having slept properly in a week... And THEN you get these genius advices from people who have never experienced real pain in their lives...
I had a relatively minor car accident where I was driving at 30mph and a car pulled across thr junction in front of me so i hit the side of their car. I went to hospital worried i had concussion but was told i had sprained neck back and shoulder (whiplash) and swelling to the face and knee. I was told id be fine up 6-8 weeks. I had kept being told the same thing by 'specialists' who never even touched me, until eventually, nearly 3 years later, i was given an xray which said my spine had developed an abnormal lack of curvature due to the one side of my body making up for the damage and pain on the other side. I had literally had specialists telling me i was suffering from phantom pain due to emotional stress from losing my car. I told them about my xrays and they said my brain could of told my body it was hurting when it wasnt, and that my back could of always been messed up even though the xray from the night i crashed shows normal spine, its only after the one side of my body started compensating for the other, when my spine gradually bent wrong and here i am today. Nobody believes the pain im in. But the best way ive eevr described it, is that if i was told i had bone cancer and i was weeks away from death and thats why i felt like this in my back, i would be relieved mire thsn scared, because i would finally have proof that it hurts. I would believe them if they told me this pain was me dying slowly from my bones. Id believe it. It hurts so bad that if i didnt have my family as close as we are id of rsther been dead than have this pain. Still gotta work though cus nothing in life is free. Also, im in my 20s not an oap so my bones really shouldn't hurt anyway

Sure house was an ass before his leg infection. But judging how his friends spoke about him or to him , he wasn’t as bad as he was now. He didn’t push away loved ones. The pain made him worse
infarction* but yeah
in case it wasnt a typo and you dont know what an infarction is, an infarction is when an aneurysm (a weak spot in the arterial wall with a large build up of blood) where the large build up of blood clots. this kills all the tissue surrounding the infarction, and the muscle releases toxins. it is risky to just cut off a chunk instead of just the leg, but instead of being an amputee, he took a risky surgery where they cut out a tiny bit of muscle, and the cost for his leg, was excrutiating chronic pain which led to his addiction to vicodin.
god i went off there...XD
Senpaiii know I didn’t know but thanks for explaining
@Julie W. haha, true. I used to have a chronic pain issue for several years non stop, and once my sister told me that I was just using my pain as an excuse for being a bitch to people around me. I wished at that moment she suffered the same thing as me.
Nah he was always an insufferable asshole. I forget which episode but Wilson said he met House when House was in his early 30's and he still was a prick. Does his condition amplify his asshole ways, sure, but this is who he is.
Wilson's casual surprise at House having two ties is, for some reason, my favourite part of this sequence. Probably because they're just so chill with each other in that scene.
he puts on the red one .. and then is wearing the blue one later on
Nah, it's the part where he tells Cuddy that house has two ties 😂
In one single scene we see a transformation.
Clean Shaven House = Stewart Little’s Dad
help I laughed too hard at this
OH MY GOD MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE BLOWN.
Oh shit. So he was in Stewart Little AND 101 dalmatians? Damn
I'm impressed by the amount of people that still don't know that Hugh was the father in Stewart Little lol
@@enkiimuto1041 With Mt. Weasley of all people.
The look on Wilson's face when house tells him his leg doesn't hurt and just walks away is my favorite moment in the show hands down.
One of my favorite moments in the series. I think I’ve only seen him walk a straight line a couple of times before without the cane. To see him do that again and hear him say “My leg doesn’t hurt anymore” is both sweet and cruel. Sweet because we want him to be pain-free and happy(we’ve been with him for five season at this point I think) but cruel because we know he doesn’t know how to function as a broken man. He made one mistake using the methadone and he quickly retreats back to being in severe pain. It takes more than a day to adjust to one extreme to the next. Had he killed the patient then it might have been a different story. But he didn’t. The fact that he cause a case, was enough to go back to his old habits and lifestyle. Addiction behavior 101.
It may be hard for most to understand, but for those with a "gifted" IQ or above, a severe drop in intellect is its own pain, and can be quite alarming. I have experienced this, due to medications, and also chose to not take the medication that would sooth the physical pain from a lumbar injury. You have to understand that there is often a give/take relationship in skills and abilities, where we excel in intellect (information retention, "depth of understanding" (aka cognition), problem solving, and pattern recognition), we lack in social skills (empathy, understanding social cues, interpersonal relationships, etc.). When you lose your intellectual abilities, and don't have the social aspects of life to carry you through, the distress is overwhelming, and unbearable. I believe there was an episode that touched on this reality from a little different perspective; I think it was a nuclear engineer (or some other type of physicist), who was drinking cough syrup to lower his IQ so he could have a relationship with his wife. These are the realities that exist in the world that so many wish for, while the "gifted" (I hate that label) simply wish they could be understood, and have a healthy relationship with others. Remember, not all pain is physical, it is often worse.
@@gerff01 It's not just a drop in IQ, a mere drop in curiosity can put one off medicines. Got on methylphenidate once, thought it made me happier, until I forgot a dose once and completely lost myself in exploring some subject, at which point I realised how much I missed that. Didn't really want to take it after that.
Still, as to the trade-off, social skills can be learned, and highly intelligent people tend to be good at learning. It won't be as good as those with an innate knack for it, takes a lot of work and some self-conditioning, and is best begun in childhood, but improvement is certainly possible with constant attention. Can recommend putting in that effort, even at the potential cost of not putting as much effort into being brilliant.
Other than that, it helps to seek out people who can keep up with your thoughts, or at least follow along. You can get used to usually being the smartest person in the room, it's hard to get used to there being a large margin. House does have such people: while he's the one with the brilliant ideas, he's at least surrounded by people who understand what he's saying with a relatively brief explanation. Other than that, it might be wise to branch out: you'd give up excelling in a single field, but can become really good in several while remaining in sight of other people.
Well said
@@gerff01 except then I found out that cough Med doesn’t work that well to lower mental functions, sedatives do but they could impair you so let’s see what other meds can safely lower IQ with some possibilities of social interactions.
@@gerff01 gifted iq lol ok
6:01 My god, that medicine is remarkable...it transformed House into Hugh Laurie!
Methadone is a miracle drug. Helped me get off heroin after a brutal and severe 10+yr addiction. Would be nice if this show didn't make methadone look like another opiate to abuse.
TheBestMovieAlive
It didn’t say that Methadone is a bad drug, it says that House is bad at dealing with drugs.
@@TheBestMovieAlive Methadone is another opiate, it's just useful when administered by trained professionals.
When abused, it's just as addictive and dangerous as heroin.
Interestingly, Hugh Laurie gets paid much more than Gregory House.
@@TheBestMovieAlive methadone is a senseless and addictive drug that it’s withdraw can kill you.
House saying thank you to Cuddy was about as sincere as you can get for House...and a rare moment for him. The way they did this was beautiful.
This episode made me bring up methadone with my doctor about 10 years ago. I'm so glad I did. It saved my life by dramatically reducing my pain and taking away my suicidal planning. It's a dangerous drug but it's amazing as a pain medication and I thank God for it's invention everyday.
Its also NOT as dangerous as they stress on House. Eating Vicodin 12 to 15 pills a day is way more deadly than a low dose of Methadone!
@@jrwill58 Yeah the way they treat Methadone on this show pissed me off
Yea I don’t understand why they went so hard on methadone! No if you miss time your dose you won’t die! I’m surprised he hasn’t nodded off with how much Vicodin he takes! This show makes a drug the helps a lot of people seem like its kills all the people who had a drink or fell asleep!
@@jrwill58 yeah i was so pissed off at how they portrayed methadone that i could barely watch it. they acted like him being on methadone was worse than the heroin they thought he was using. anyone who saw this and didnt have experience with methadone, would walk away believing that the drug is lethal
Merci pour votre commentaire !
Étant moi même dépendant aux opiacés et traité avec de la buprenorphine je souffre de douleurs chroniques et j'envisage de peut être passer à la methadone...est-ce vraiment un analgésique aussi puissant ? Plus que la morphine ?
I’m glad that house knows to stretch videos to the 10 minute mark
It's actually quite fulfilling.
And some shows call a compilation 3 minutes long 😂
it is now my canon lore that House runs this channel
I love how House and Wilson call each other an idiot or moron. The actual way and manner in which they use the word. It cracks me up.
It's the gravel in their voices when they shout it that really gets me
It's unbelievable how Cuddy loved House in so many ways and the guy still doesn't listen to who want to protect him. Emotionally sad, artisticly brilliant.
León Cuba who gives a fuck about emotion...art is an emotion and sentiment itself

This story arc was very good. It deserved more than one episode. No wonder they had no idea where the story could go in the last seasons: they used some ideas too quickly!
That and many actors had to leave and such. So much potential for alot of their ideas, if they had the funding, I'd imagine how much better the show's plot could've gone
It's not like they knew they'd need material for 8 seasons from the start. The show might not have lasted that long if it didn't have some standout episodes like this one every season, which compressed enough story for a movie into one great episode.
@@cactusmalone was absolutely hooked on Walking Dead in the beginning, but it developed annoying plot repetition and loopholes that just soured it for me. Not sure if that was a financial issue or a writing one.
@@Karma-qt4ji The issue was in both. Why Darabont left was because AMC/producers did not want to spend any money on the show, despite how big of a hit it was.
Two things that made me stop watching the show:
1. The season would stay almost entirely grounded in a single location. Be it the farm, the prison or some compound.
2. The episodes that focused on just a few characters. This was the biggest hint that they were trying to keep the show costs low. Actors are typically paid by the episode and if you limit the episodes they appear in, you get to lower the costs significantly. Those were basically filler episodes.
The show clearly had financial restrictions and it shows in the writing. Most of the structure was the same thing over and over.
And the cast... so few characters saw multiple seasons of screen time. Thankfully most of them were the original members, but still. The show rarely committed to new characters and I bet it was due to budget restrictions. Why renegotiate someone salary when you can just hire someone else for the same money or even cheaper?
Doesn't help with my pain, it eliminates it.
Ahhhh the feels😣
@jobjerabbeljee yes sir/ma'am 😂😂
@jobje Rabbeljee it's used to help people who are chemically dependent on drugs. It doesn't get them high it just helps them function
@@dannuman6510 When administered frequently in small doses, sure. Unfortunately that often leads to assimilation, which means the patient will require ever increasing doses at more frequent intervals... until their liver ceases to function entirely and they die.
Take it from a veterinarian, ketamine is a far better pain management drug than methadone and much safer to correctly administer.
@@dylanwight5764 now i get it why in one of the episodes House asked his "idiots" to administer Ketamine to him. But I suppose Ketamine are some kind of anaesthetic, aren't they?
@@kissofdeath4449 Indeed it is. I use it to sedate cattle and horses. The trick with ketamine is that it acts as a sedative when administered intravenously and as an anaesthetic when administered orally. It also acts as a quick trip to the ER when some moron at the club tries to snort it.
I don't think anybody ever understood the amount of pain House had to live with
Neither you. The whole point of season 6 was that House's pain was by that point more "psychological" than anything. With proper therapy AND distracting his mind he could live without pain, the problem is that House can not stand emotional pain as good as anyone else (you could say he is more "fragile" in that way) so whenever he faces a serious shocking problem (like Cuddy's cancer) he easily goes back to his "easy escape route" (drugs).
That's the major point of the entire show. Nobody knows the amount of pain he is in. Even house doesn't know if the pain is real or psychological which makes the show more intriguing.
I do
@@theoneitself House: "And no, I don't have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm too stoned to tell". XD

"If he buys a new pair of shoes, should we let him smoke crack?" Probably one of my favorite lines from this show ever. Always makes me laugh.
To be honest, with this show, that being a plotline wouldn't surprise me at all
Did you know that Hugh actually got a limp from acting like he had a limp for all the time he acted as House
Yep, something with his back or spine. I don't remember correctly.
he once switched his legs and no one say the difference lol
I think it's corrected since the show ended.
@@shanayazaveri2620 he had muscle death. Or something?
One of my knees used to fill with fluid (very little, but enough to cause pain). The pain made me put more weight on my other leg, which, due to stress, also started to hurt. I ended up limping because of the increased pressure (gone now). Maybe something similar happened. The forced limp stressed his leg out and made it hurt to walk on properly
"It's done. This is the only me you get."
I don't know why, but that line in particular is so heartbreaking to me. It's like House has resigned himself to thinking he can only have worth as a doctor as long as he remains in pain.
House isn't interested in being a good doctor. He's interested in being one of the greatest living medical minds.
To him, being less would be equivalent to willfully endangering his patients care, as he is no longer the best doctor they could ask for. Contrary to his typical attitude, he DOES take patient care very seriously.
9:11 "you're afraid to be happy"
"Why do you care if I'm happy?" Really hit me
You have to be fair, he has a point. Any sort of person that offers you happiness is either tricked by society and the media into assimilating others into the positivity cult or think they care about you and either way any sign of affection or unearned respect should be ignored.
They might pretend to care, or maybe they do care, but people mist learn how to be counter against a cult like positivity and the overall herd.
“Why do you care if I’m happy?” That hit hard. The acting is so well done and the way you can feel his sadness after methadone is really emotional.
If he buy a new pair of shoes should we let him smoke crack XD
I think they let him smoke crack. You ever notice how many different pairs of shoes House wore?
such a ridiculous analogy. methadone was so undeservingly demonized in this episode
@@NewWesternFront I might be reading into it too much, but I don't think they were necessarily "demonizing" it, more so trying to stress that House obviously has addiction issues with a drug that's proven to be highly addictive and dangerous with regular use.
@@arcopolo8993 , if you’re not willing to die for your dreams and ambitions than those dreams and ambitions are meaningless which is an objectively truthfully factual correct quote by the way because apparently both Cuddy and Foreman aren’t willing to die for their dreams and ambitions like Chase, House, and Wilson are, so clearly their dreams and ambitions are meaningless.
His pain made him miserable. No pain, he's able to relax and he's happy. He's content. Life with no pain is better than a life of misery and discomfort.
Not according to the CDC.
And yet he chose the pain and being a super genius over being relaxed and happy. It hurts me to see
@@captainmarvelous7678 , if Cuddy had just let him work at a different hospital, or him working his life permanently as a perfect professional chef than he wouldn’t have gone back to extreme pain and crashing a car through her house which is totally justified because only Wilson in the series finale truly understood the actual pain House goes through.
I mean.. I feel this on a personal level tbh. I had the career of my dreams.. and then chronic pain started. House put it in terms I think sums it up pretty nicely; "I live in pain everyday. Pain that on good days is just manageable. Pain that on bad days will suck the absolute life out of you." My employer gave me a choice of working without the medication I needed, or bye bye. I chose to leave. You will never make me choose between lack of pain or a job.
That's... illegal, I think. Probably depends on the exact laws where you live, but it probably falls under discrimination against disability. Unless your employer had a specific reason to be unable to accommodate usage of prescribed medicine (I imagine pilots and the like aren't allowed narcotics for safety reasons), they should've accepted what the doctor determined was necessary.
It's definitely illegal. If you live in US or Canada that is. Or if you're not a pilot or something. It's called discrimination against disability. Your employer cannot fire you just because you use pain medication.
Yes this is the harbinger of the opiod crisis-lots of chronic pain for people with serious conditions

Funny how much those two changed their minds about him taking methadone, that's a full character arc in just half an episode
It is because of this channel that I actually watched the whole show. Let me tell you, you need to watch it. Watching House’s journey fighting his pain is just heartbreaking.
This whole scene of serious stuff, and the best line is, "You have TWO ties?"
Hugh Laurie always has and always will look older without facial hair.
8:15 *never seen House genuinely thank someone*
I caught a mistake after watching this clip a lot of times, when Wilson talks with House at his apartment House picks the red tie, and then when he talks to Cuddy at 7:22 he has the blue one , lmao!
yeah, the shirt is different too XD
House: "OK. I have Bulimia"
Me: "They have an App for that."
"This is the only me you get."
I can't help but love that line. It hits home.
The part where he's like "why do you care if I'm happy" there's like a million words spoken between them without saying a thing 😭
8:00 They were so genuine.
even better than being happy
he seems content
3:20 such a powerful scene and greatly emphasised by the music!
Did anyone else notice that he changed shirts and ties in between his house and cuddy’s office.
The next day maybe
Biggest shock of this clip .... House says "Thank you"
I dont think Ive ever seen him say that.
Is it me or is Laurie's acting differently nuanced here so as to show House being more mellow?
Yes he's acting high.
@Christopher Marlowe lol.
@Christopher Marlowe If you think you can't get high on methadone, you also, are an idiot (in the words of Wilson). You may not get "as high" as heroin, but you definitely can get high.
Are you saying that an actor, acting differently due to a character deviation, is something that shouldn't happen? Or are you conjecturing that your observation of this variance implies superiority?
@@gerff01 Methadone will not explicity get you high everytime. It has the possibility although one would have to take ridiculously high amounts of it to the point of almost overdosing. Someone with as high a tolerance to opiates as house is not going to get high off of methadone. He certainly wouldn't be less able to function than he was on vicodin and he wouldn't be close to vomiting or dying after mixing a single shot of alcohol with it. This show got it wildly wrong.
House: Im on methadone.
Cuddy: Lets get him off it, its gonna kill him.
House: Im done with methadone.
Cuddy: Please take the methadone.
Logic....
Anything can sound stupid out of context...
The context is hes in pain, methadone is a dangerous painkiller thats literally all the context
@@BobbieBins the context is cuddy nor wilson realized just how much it meant to house to have no pain, so until they realized that they were against him using it. Once they realized that he could be no longer miserable they wanted him to be on it, but at the same time house realized being happy would cause him to make worse decisions so he decided to stop taking it for the better of the cases. That is the context.
plus, because of their agreement, he would take it under supervision, not on his own as he did before. that changes things.
Lmao
Man, as someone in recovery I feel so bad for House. I had a bad back since 13 breaking my deformed tailbone making it impossible to sit or lay down or stand for too long. It messed my life up. Still hurts but is manageable now at almost 23

@@llgla I have tried everything, the way my tailbone was deformed and broken again is in a 90° inward 'L' shape. So it's odd because no matter what I sit on it is the way it's been deformed that's made it painful
@@Audreyreagan.s I'm so sorry, my mom uses massage therapy for her pain and that helps some. Is there any way they can do a surgery to reverse it? Or at least lessen its effect?
That's how I know this show had good writing. People who have been through a similar problem can easily translate and relate to it.
Where do you live? I know that there are only a handful of surgeons in Europe who can do the kind of pelvic reconstruction surgery you might need, but it's worth looking into of you haven't already and if the pain is still drastically diminishing your quality of life
Rewatching this made Kutner's self-deprecation more noticable
It really was probably unintentional but works so well
The last line. “This is the only me you get.” If only every person has the courage to straight away speak up our feelings and not bother about others feelings being compromised, we would live a much satisfactory life. Atleast I take this episode this way..
he never had a interview. Subtle nod but when he is getting ready he outs the red tie on. Then he shows up at Cuddy;s two hours before the interview in the blue and silver tie. You could say he changed his mind but this is House.
1:02 "Well that would certainly explain the inappropriate responses." That's actually kind of a genius response there. Could easily be interpreted as a medical comment.
I like to think Hugh's role in VEEP in just House running for President 😎
"I want a biggest office, but in the same spot" Pure House madness ahahaha 7:54
3:30 Jaw dropped. Truly.
Methadone is actually an amazing painkiller. Although it’s a violently awful thing to get off of. It’s been used for a long time to stop using opioid painkillers and heroin. I’m super confused with why they’re acting like controlled use of methadone is some how more dangerous than Vicodin. If he’s going to a daily clinic he’s monitored and far safer than he would ever be on Vicodin.
exactly, doesn't make sense
Honestly this episode was written at the height of "The War On Drugs" so without having House on Heroin they choose a drug people associate with it to make it look like he's gone off the deep end. Which is absolute bullshit because he wouldn't be getting the same high on Methadone. If anything, this episode proves that House is in pain and it's not in his head. Oh well, some people will never understand the kind of pain some humans have to live with on a daily basis.

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THIS IS SOME HOW LUPUS
"You think that I'm on heroin."
That's scary impressive. He figured that out in less than a minute.
Also, if he was on heroin, shouldn't he be falling asleep (nodding off) constantly?
It turns out House was actually on methadone. It's used by clinics to wean people off their addiction to heroin but it doesn't have all the side effects of heroin. It made House pain-free but it interfered with his judgement.
@@KneelB4Bacon I know but I wonder why they thought he was on heroin. Wouldn't the lack of heroin side effects tip them of to something else
@@KneelB4Bacon Methadone got me off heroin and saved my life. It is an amazing drug and it bummed me out seeing this video say House will die if he stays on methadone.
@@TheBestMovieAlive They aren't wrong. Methadone fucks up the liver and kidneys really badly if used exstensively. It also has far worse withdrawl effects than heroin believe it or not. You're far more likely to die from methadone withdrawl than heroin withdrawl. I'd sooner use cannibas to ween someone off of opiate abuse, it's been shown to have genuinely thereputic effects on those suffering from opiate withdrawl. Not as good as methadone, sure but it's far safer.
@@sketch3744 Methadone does not have toxic effects on the organs. It is commonly used in treatment of chronic pain or as a maintenance medicine for opioid addiction, they don't use just it to ween people, many people take it in high doses many years or for life. Vicodin would be much more toxic in the amounts House takes, it's a combination drug with Paracetamol (Tylenol) in it. Methadone is used long term in many patients, often at high does. I have been on Methadone 5 years now, on 220mg a day - and I can raise my dose in 5mg increments if I choose. My dose is way higher than what House would take since he only has a Vicodin habit. I take it in liquid form, but to put it into perspective Methadone pills (for chronic pain) come in 5 + 10mg - meaning I take the equivalent of 44 or 22 pills respectively, per day.
Methadone withdrawals are worse than Heroin in my opinion, they are less intense but much longer in duration, so I'd say you are correct there.
Opioid withdrawl is rarely fatal, and when it is it is only due to a complication (underlying conditions, or if let yourself get too dehydrated etc..). It's alcohol, benzodiazepiene and barbiturate withdrawals that can be fatal..
Cannabis though, does pretty much nothing for withdrawal. Opioid withdrawl overrides the effects of most everything.
I feel like Cuddy’s talents as Dean of Medicine are often overshadowed by House. She handles someone as difficult as House extremely well, she’s not a pushover, she’s able to convince others to do what she wants, she’s such a great character and truly a force of nature in the show.
"Right! You're safe as long as you never sleep again!"
Gets me every time lol
“If he buys a new pair of shoes, should we let him smoke crack?”
I love her sassiness! Lol
After house walks out you can see Cuddy beginning to smile alitte I always thought that was her with a spark of hope forming that she was gonna get her friend back to who he used to be
4:40 was a deep scene for me. I have a medical condition that causes pain. I took a drug that a job I took didn't like, but was legal. I decided to leave rather live with the pain too. I'd rather feel normal.

the song that plays when House is shaving is called "$300" by Soul Coughing
he switched from the red tie to the blue tie
YourEvilOverlord, yeh I saw that too!
Really good catch.
If memory serves (been about a year since my last rewatch) those scenes were not the same day.
House: I want a raise.
Cuddy: No. We both know this is where you belong.
Yeah, that's not toxic at all.
"House doesn't do happy..."
Since when is that something you could decide for him, Cuddy? Outside of ruining him with your break up.
Your comment is completely spot on about both Cuddy and Foreman as characters that unlike House and Chase they’re both extremely hypocritical SJWS that if the series progressed after the Season 8 finale the show would gotten much much worse as the series progresses.
"Why do you care if I'm happy?" I understand that because even to my friends which I have very few, I have little empathy towards their good wills. It's just how I operate, I've been backstabbed too many times for me to have trust in others opinions nor care for their feelings towards matters that make them uncomfortable.
4:50 that is the face of a person who is trying to reason with someone without having the slightest fucking clue about what the person is actually going through. Anyone who has experienced 24/7 nerve pain will know you will choose lack of pain over ANYTHING... Around the clock nerve pain will REALLY drive you crazy.
I remember when I had my C5-C6 disc collapse and the nerve was in constant squeeze... I was in horrific upper body pain 24/7 with no way out of it.... I was literally inch away from suicide after not having slept properly in a week... And THEN you get these genius advices from people who have never experienced real pain in their lives...
2:24 you can catch a glimpse of House not needing his case before the next scene of him explaining he doesnt need it
"Im not breathing, but its strictly voluntary, you should have seen the guy who was in here before me"
😭
I had a relatively minor car accident where I was driving at 30mph and a car pulled across thr junction in front of me so i hit the side of their car. I went to hospital worried i had concussion but was told i had sprained neck back and shoulder (whiplash) and swelling to the face and knee. I was told id be fine up 6-8 weeks.
I had kept being told the same thing by 'specialists' who never even touched me, until eventually, nearly 3 years later, i was given an xray which said my spine had developed an abnormal lack of curvature due to the one side of my body making up for the damage and pain on the other side.
I had literally had specialists telling me i was suffering from phantom pain due to emotional stress from losing my car.
I told them about my xrays and they said my brain could of told my body it was hurting when it wasnt, and that my back could of always been messed up even though the xray from the night i crashed shows normal spine, its only after the one side of my body started compensating for the other, when my spine gradually bent wrong and here i am today.
Nobody believes the pain im in. But the best way ive eevr described it, is that if i was told i had bone cancer and i was weeks away from death and thats why i felt like this in my back, i would be relieved mire thsn scared, because i would finally have proof that it hurts. I would believe them if they told me this pain was me dying slowly from my bones. Id believe it. It hurts so bad that if i didnt have my family as close as we are id of rsther been dead than have this pain.
Still gotta work though cus nothing in life is free.
Also, im in my 20s not an oap so my bones really shouldn't hurt anyway
