"Foreman's black. WHAT? How long have you been holding on this information??" This parts got to be my favorite part of the video and has to be the funniest part of the episode. 😂😂 4:50
Also how he refused to do it initially. The brain biopsy would indeed solve the puzzle, it would give him his answer, but he cares about the wellbeing of his friends.
Know the showrunners probably ignored it but I wonder if he'd actually take in the information and be processing the racial disparity or if its just a quick sharp sarcastic joke waiting for an explanation
9:09 -- "Pain makes us make bad decisions. Fear of pain is almost as big a motivator." -- From someone (House) who has lived a lot of his adult life in massive amounts of pain, that line hits HARD. 🥺

@@PJOZeus On the other hand, Chase had more diagnosis' than anyone bar House, and even in S4,5 and 6, where he wasn't part of the team, he was getting some
8:48 - One of the most powerful moments in the show, a true look into how the fear of pain can cause lapses in judgment. Also one of the few moments where House really could sympathize with someone in a crappy situation. Omar Epps really knocked it out of the park in these two episodes.
House sympathises with other people all the time - but it is very, very rare anyone is given a true outlook into House - and whilst Foreman was too scared out of his mind to think about that at present, no doubt he looked at house differently when he didnt have a guillotine hanging over his head
I have really bad low back pain right now and I’m terrified all the time. Every time I slightly bend down or twist agonizing stabbing pain occurs. It’s so bad.
This is the first episode in the series where Omar wows you with his acting talent. This moment and his talk with his dad (“If I’m not scared of dying, what should I be scared of dad?”) are two of Foreman’s most powerful moments in the whole series.
Even while he is Blind, He was touching the pills to figure out what he was taking by feeling not just by his finger but the nails as well to tell the difference between the letters and Numbers… Even if he was wrong a couple of times he is able to make do with what his body gives him.
A lot of people (rightly) giving props to the actors and writers on this one. But honestly, I think whoever did Foreman's makeup in this episode deserves an award - he looks so awful it's hard to look at him. It's rare to see such an extreme look without the actual makeup/contacts/etc being glaringly obvious. It's scary good.
I had a friend who could shoot milk out through his tear ducts. Whenever he did this trick, his eyes would turn EXTREMELY bloodshot. It's possible that Omar Epps (Foreman) used a similar trick to make his eyes bloodshot. But, yes, the makeup department did an outstanding job on this episode, as well as all the actors. One of the best cast shows on TV back in the day.
This was my favorite episode of season 2. It uniquely demonstrated both the life-saving and life-threatening aspects of House’s method beyond the legality (the Misdiagnosis, jumping to conclusions, when risks don’t pay off). It added sympathy for Foreman between apologizing to Cameron and making peace with his father, it really showcased Omar’s acting skills.
Omar Epps should get an Oscar, this performance in 2 episodes was absolutely stellar. It is incredibly difficult to convey all of the chaos and emotions that would go through a person in his position and knowledge in such a situation. Absolute masterpiece acting.
I kinda like the focus on Cameron here. Like she got intentionally exposed from Foreman and she still has the composure to console his father. Pretty cool if you ask me
I like how the conversation around the 8 minute mark is filmed in a way that that House and Foreman are looking at a mirror of each other, with them sitting , the glass and such. Makes the point "...it'll bring back the pain" hit harder since House relates. Really shows how much House wants him to trust him, so they both can trust themselves and others. Also hammers in their similarities. It's a nice detail.
Cameron was such an annoying character. She was also like a strange android at times. The fact that she still had her long dead husband's frozen sperm, while engaged to chase, was just extremely bizarre.
When I studied microbiology, I used to love watching live Listeria monocytogenes down the microscope. They swim, then tumble, swim again and tumble. Like little olympic swimming athletes.
It’s 2023 and the writing and acting still holds up incredibly well 15 years later. So much respect for the actors being able to deliver these fast paced back and forth dialogues.
@@iforbot7732By "fast enough" you mean "before the patient shows any symptoms." Which is why, if you're ever bitten or scratched by an unknown animal, you get tested - or, better yet, the animal tested, if at all possible. Because it's an awful, awful way to die.
"the antibiotics will bring back the pain" And House finally understands. And he, as I would as an addict, encourage anyone to NEVER go down the path I have lived. It leads only to misery and a long wait for a slow and painful death. House sees himself in this fear of pain and pushes Foreman to be better than he could be because he knows he's just built weaker, despite all his arrogance and narcissism.
No, House always understood, House can empathise with that pain and House didn't fail with his own House isn't even narcisistic, it's just a cover. Really does just understand Foreman and pity anyone else has had to go through what he has Like the addict part is nice and all but it's out of place here
I think rather than recognising himself as weaker than Foreman, House thinks Foreman can take better decisions than him because Foreman already knows House's experience.
I can see the moments in this clip that are most replayed. "Foreman's black!" is the most replayed... but Omar Epps's incredible performance at the 8:15 mark is getting slept on.
"Foreman, you can't see" I mean, reacting autonomously to audio stimuli is natural reflex and Foreman spent his whole life using his eyes to follow things, I think it's safe to say it's well within the bounds of autonomous human function that the man isn't really looking, he's just instinctively listening with both his ears and eyes.
The way House looked at Foreman when he said the antibiotics will bring back the pain shows how much he truly cares and why he doesn't meet his patients.
I got shivers from watching this entire episode. Hands down, the most impressive piece of acting I have seen in a show. I was actually appalled that Epps was not rewarded for his performance in this episode.
It's funny that the most unrealistic part of this episode is not that foreman ddin't have brain damage after a white matter brain biopsy, it's that he survived Naegleria Fowleri.
This reminds me of the time I was prescribed with the wrong medication and started trippin in my eyesight... I thought I was going blind but kept looking up when I wasn't. I hated it so much.
This is one of the most impressive performances in the entire show and what's also impressive is how Foreman is able identify medication while being completely blind and only touching the pills 👏 Dayum
It is amazing how these basically unknown actors put on such vivid performances. I just finished watching the complete series and I have to say everything is top notch.
If I'm not mistaken, these episodes get two big things wrong about Naegleria: it's actually extremely difficult to catch, and if you do get it, you're completely screwed.
@@IcedKuraokami They die because it's extremely rare, the early symptoms look like a more common disease, and they're dealing with some run of the mill family doctors. This is a dedicated diagnostic team exploring every option, he had way better theoretical care than the average person would.
True but this is a diagnostic team that is already treating one patient (the cop) for the disease, he dies as Foreman started to show the first same symptoms so they immediately know he got the same fatal disease
@@GramOfAdderallits irrelevant, amoeba made it to his brain and he got cured by a random antiparasitic medicine when this disease doesnt actually have a cure.
Cuddy: Don’t downplay this, House. You put both of them in isolation for a reason. Joe’s death elevates the situation to a biosafety level 3. House: [shivering] Oooh. Level 3. We should call Jack Bauer. at 0:16 LOL
N. Fowlri is not nearly as easily treated as that. And its EXTREMELY rare for people to get it in the USA, 111 people have gotten it in 50 years. The issue is, 4 have survived. It's hard to treat and its generally not seen as a culprit until it's too late. If foreman had it, he likely would have died. (OCD hypochondriac here. Not a doctor)
The best way to avoid it is to not allow warm freshwater into your nose, naegleria can't infect you unless it goes way up the nose into your olfactory bulb
In real life Foreman would have just died. Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis has an almost 100% fatality rate, and the survivors don't typically come out unscathed. Not that there are many survivors to even go on given only a handful have ever survived at all.
There is no effective treatment for Naegleria. He would definitely die. It's essentially a death sentence. Only 5 people have ever survived it and it was essentially only able to be treated as it was caught VERY early. This situation? Death.
No House gave Foreman a known disease, Legionnaires’ disease. Foreman is the one who gave an unknown disease to Cameron. Keep your characters and disease straight you scrub
4:00 Is removing one treatment at a time the optimal choice? They could do a binary search, eliminating half of the options at each step instead of just one.
Unfortunately, Naegleria Fowleri is rarely treatable at all. It also doesn't do almost anything it's shown to do in these episodes. That said, it makes for good TV.
@@NoNameAtAll2 except for the whole body pain, real life infections are more terrifying. Severe headache Loss of smell and taste Fever Vomiting Hallucinations Altered mental state Seizures Coma Ever since it was first reported in the 60s, out of 200 or so people who had it only 4 or 5 have lived. And, this disease looks so similar to bacterial meningitis that it's not usually diagnosed correctly until too late.
@@SilentBlackOp Unless you get contaminated water up your nose. Kids in water parks in the Southern US have been getting it because it loves warm water. However, it is a rare occurrence but when it does it's nearly 100% fatal and mostly diagnosed at autopsy. So wear nose plugs when swimming. There were a few cases involving Neti pots to flush your nose but that was dealt with.
I remember when this episode first aired scared the hell out of me even more than all the news did... I live in florida and when this episode aired like 7 or 8 kids died in 1 summer from amoebas
The most unrealistic thing about every Dr. House episode is whenever he says "test for everything". You could have a team of 100 world-class doctors researching a case and it would take you years, if not decades to "test for everything".
I think by everything he means anything that matches with the symptoms, they spitball ideas and write them on a whiteball so he must've been referring to that.
8:58 I felt that deep in my bones, nerves, every fiber of my being. It's not my first choice, despite my limited capacity I do like being able to be somewhat normally functioning. But I'd be lying if I said there were not days where I wish I'd experience clean pain free break that left the area causing the pain to be paralysed. I regularly wish I could trade with a CIPA patient with the clause I'd only be getting 6 years (the first year I'd need to build back my body) before my body shot down. A man's proper function is supposed to be able to live, not exist. Give me that chance and I wouldn't waste my days trying to prolong them. I would use my time, and make things this body has stolen from me right.
@@balancemaster55 or cancer, or having to take immunosuppressant drugs, or even being elderly... Being immunompromised, and being responsible for the survival of an immunocompromised family member is terrifying.
I was surprised they didn't write Cameron out of the show after this. She missed the cause of the infection when she was searching the shed. She hung up on House when he told her the source of the infection. And she wound up doing an unnecessary biopsy on Foreman, which could have left him in a permanent vegetative state. Ah, the joys of episodic writing. Forget the life-changing episodes and just carry on.
It genuinely felt like Foreman was left with brain damage for rest of the show and his potential was gone, but that might be just the later seasons focus on other people anyway.
Foreman was an incredible actor, he played it better than anyone would expect, he made it believable, the pain, all of it. And Cameron in the series was an incredibly terrible doctor
I had my VP shunt was too infected for over a month and i was back and forth in hospitals and i presented all the symptoms of an infection except my blood work..in the last ER visit I had my skin rapture from how much puss was around my VP shunt in my brain I apmost died..
Naegleria fowlerii doesnt actually respond to ANY treatment, but dont worry; its in every body of water that doesn't regularly freeze, BUT people don't get it very often, and usually they are immunocompromised

House DOES care about his team. The terror on his face when he heard the biopsy went through is palpable
Also how he refused to do it initially. The brain biopsy would indeed solve the puzzle, it would give him his answer, but he cares about the wellbeing of his friends.
Like "BRUH, you have to be kidding me? WHY DIDN'T YA CALL ME?"
Everyone's acting was so on point in this episode. The look of sheer pain in Foreman's eyes near the end is nothing short of terrifying.

It is an extremely rare condition. Your eyes are still receiving information but the brain isn't able to process it. Giving you a "sense" of sight.
By far, the best episode of Season 2 (both part 1 and part 2).

It shows you how much House loves him that he will get desperate enough to throw everything on the wall and see what sticks
4:00 Is removing one treatment at a time the optimal choice? They could do a binary search, eliminating half of the options at each step instead of just one.
if he took all of them in one go, maybe give him half now and discard the other half.
Unfortunately, Naegleria Fowleri is rarely treatable at all. It also doesn't do almost anything it's shown to do in these episodes. That said, it makes for good TV.
Should be the top comment. He would have died if he got Naegleria.
what does it do instead?
@@NoNameAtAll2 except for the whole body pain, real life infections are more terrifying.
Severe headache
Loss of smell and taste
Fever
Vomiting
Hallucinations
Altered mental state
Seizures
Coma
Ever since it was first reported in the 60s, out of 200 or so people who had it only 4 or 5 have lived. And, this disease looks so similar to bacterial meningitis that it's not usually diagnosed correctly until too late.
@@SilentBlackOp Unless you get contaminated water up your nose. Kids in water parks in the Southern US have been getting it because it loves warm water. However, it is a rare occurrence but when it does it's nearly 100% fatal and mostly diagnosed at autopsy. So wear nose plugs when swimming. There were a few cases involving Neti pots to flush your nose but that was dealt with.
@@angelagendreau3586 "have been getting it" makes it sound common. In the USA in 50 years, 111 people have gotten it

6:10 Woe, Liegonella be upon ye.
I REALLY have to rewatch this 2-parter. This was one of the best parts of the show.
I remember when this episode first aired scared the hell out of me even more than all the news did... I live in florida and when this episode aired like 7 or 8 kids died in 1 summer from amoebas
The most unrealistic thing about every Dr. House episode is whenever he says "test for everything". You could have a team of 100 world-class doctors researching a case and it would take you years, if not decades to "test for everything".
I think by everything he means anything that matches with the symptoms, they spitball ideas and write them on a whiteball so he must've been referring to that.
8:58
I felt that deep in my bones, nerves, every fiber of my being.
It's not my first choice, despite my limited capacity I do like being able to be somewhat normally functioning. But I'd be lying if I said there were not days where I wish I'd experience clean pain free break that left the area causing the pain to be paralysed.
I regularly wish I could trade with a CIPA patient with the clause I'd only be getting 6 years (the first year I'd need to build back my body) before my body shot down.
A man's proper function is supposed to be able to live, not exist. Give me that chance and I wouldn't waste my days trying to prolong them. I would use my time, and make things this body has stolen from me right.
I think I remember this episode. They accidentally inverted his controls.
“It’s not a good idea to scream fire everytime someone lights a match” I’m gonna start using that
"Ooh, level 3! Should we call Jack Bauer?" LMAO
One of the greatest mystery shows to ever be on TV.
The idea of a person's immune system just not working is utterly terrifying to me 😟
Meet hiv
@@balancemaster55 or cancer, or having to take immunosuppressant drugs, or even being elderly...
Being immunompromised, and being responsible for the survival of an immunocompromised family member is terrifying.
I have lupus and this is basically the same thing. My immune system attacks me instead of infections.
@@ba8501damn bro just buy a new one
COVID affects the immune system too
bruh not the watering system going on the actual BUD THATS GONNA MOLD
I was surprised they didn't write Cameron out of the show after this.
She missed the cause of the infection when she was searching the shed.
She hung up on House when he told her the source of the infection.
And she wound up doing an unnecessary biopsy on Foreman, which could have left him in a permanent vegetative state.
Ah, the joys of episodic writing. Forget the life-changing episodes and just carry on.
It genuinely felt like Foreman was left with brain damage for rest of the show and his potential was gone, but that might be just the later seasons focus on other people anyway.
Foreman was an incredible actor, he played it better than anyone would expect, he made it believable, the pain, all of it.
And Cameron in the series was an incredibly terrible doctor
Foreman is a great actor.
“I NEED A BONE SAW…”
- Dr. Gregorius House, New England, 1798.
These are some of my favorite episodes in House, along with house going crazy and the time he spent in the asylum.
Foreman was absolutely brilliant in this series, let alone this 2 part episode. He deserved an emmy nomination or win for sure
the acting in this series is fcking phenomenal.
I had my VP shunt was too infected for over a month and i was back and forth in hospitals and i presented all the symptoms of an infection except my blood work..in the last ER visit I had my skin rapture from how much puss was around my VP shunt in my brain I apmost died..
Hell yeah, video's over TEN MINUTES!!!
Naegleria fowlerii doesnt actually respond to ANY treatment, but dont worry; its in every body of water that doesn't regularly freeze, BUT people don't get it very often, and usually they are immunocompromised
How to understand Dr. House in a nutshell:
"Foreman's black."
Dr. House: "WHAT? How long have you been withholding this information???"
Perfection.
