From ''Son of Coma Guy'' (Season 3, Episode 7): House suspects that a patient's illness is genetic and needs a family history. But the man's only living relative, his father (guest star John Larroquette), has been in a vegetative state for 10 years. Meanwhile, Wilson confronts House about stealing his prescription pad, and Tritter (David Morse) questions Cameron, Chase and Foreman in his effort to nail House on drug charges.

I like how that man kept up with House attitude. He wasn't repulsed or dominated by it. He challenged it and I think from House's perspective he was his equal in terms of wits.
Yeah, after being in a coma for many years. He just woke up and was back to his normal self. This is an asinine script.
@@MrJamberee It's awesome. I feel like an entire movie could have been made of that exact concept of a doctor trying to get the protagonist to help his son and make peace with his life in one last day "after death". It would be like a purgatory. Of course it is not very realistic, but just think of the philosophical side
@@MrJamberee actually there's a real case of a teenager who woke up in a coma 15 years later and he was still aware of what was going on such that he asked questions regarding situations in the room over the years he was in the coma. SO the script isn't entirely asinine!!
@@denziiey Not a "coma" then. If you have ever been under general anesthesia, you will know what a coma is. Your clock does not tick. It feels like being knocked out in one room, and instantly waking up in another room full of bruises. No time has passed for you. It is the strangest experience.
@@ukspizzaman hey I'm just going based on the article but I have had a surgery once. Was so long ago though but I'm sure you're right regarding our illusion of time
Muscles dystrophied, eyes were shut for a decade, vocal cords not used in years, yet he manages to wake like a fresh spring morning.
I want to be able to wake up like this after just 7 hours of sleep dammit 😀
Sounds more like we all want what he injected into him.
Haha 😄 good one!
i thought it was Muscles atrophied? And I think they're heavily relying on the drugs having been why he was able to wake like a fresh spring morning. Granted his eyes being shut for a decade/vocal cords not used in year should've had some impact regardless of the drugs.
Long term coma patients are not chubby or fat either. He is pinching his neck like he gained weight while in a coma. One of the least believable coma wake up scenes I have ever seen
@@gabriels1163 no he's pinching the sagging skin on his neck, and right after that he pointed out his old pants became loose and said something about how the coma was like a diet
After that many years of being in a coma, he would have not been able to prop himself up due to muscle atrophy. I am not a doctor, but this is the first thing that popped into my mind during this scene.
Indeed.... I was out for two weeks once. Could not raise a hand off the matress for a couple of days.
No 'Wiggle your big toe' type scene.
He wouldn't be able to eat nor swallow either.
Exactly. I was in a coma for 2 months and it took me weeks to get out of mental stuper and I was a physical mess.
House mentions in a scene prior he has maintained neurological activity and his muscles barely atrophied. Although not actually plausible they do address it in the episode
I liked how after all that build up
He just says 'I could go for a steak'
That would be me
I get hungry when I sleep. I slept walked ( drove and shoplift) in my sleep. I went into 7 11 and took a bag of chips and soda. Just walked our with it only weiring a tank top underweir and no shoes. Went back the next day and they told me what I did. They asked if I was sleepwalking?? I tried to pay but they would not take my money.. maybe because I was half naked
and then doesnt eat it lmao
When I woke up in the hospital after being hit by a car, that was the first thing I wanted too. It's a good sign that you are ready to check out. Check please!!
Did you see the article where the guy had locked in syndrome, they found out, first thing he says with the computer assisted speech is he wants a beer 🍺
You know it's fiction when two hospital physicians can take off for a day or two at a moment's notice.
Really? That's what strikes you as fictional about this?
Well, House was working tho
You know nothing about house
I work as an administrative assistant for multiple physicians. They very much can, and do.
@@Redsdelight
the joke -------------->
your head
I love how many times Cuddy gets really mad at House about something he does, but then totally distracted by the outcome and forgets to be mad. Cracks me up every time
It’s a woman being a woman
@@fernandorodriguez876 huh?💀
Ngl it does get frustrating. The amount of times she tries to stop him from doing something that will save a patient's life, only for him to do it anyways and save the patient. Considering how many times he saved people and how many times he got the diseases right, why are you still interfering?
@@cristinaflorina9538 Because someone has to follow the book
@@cristinaflorina9538 he's often wrong a lot before he's right. plus the show is kinda unrealistic as it is, if house was just allowed to do whatever he pleases all the time it would be completely unbelievable
I was in a coma for 11 days, lost 20 kilos and couldn't even walk when I woke up.
People coming out of a coma are in pieces!
How big were u before u went into a coma?
not if you got 100mg meth bro...
@@herman60 Facts
Would have been bad tv if we had to watch him go go through rehab physical therapy for months.
I had a cast on my arm for one week after cracking my olecranon (falling backwards off my bicycle). Muscle atrophy was so bad I couldn't lift my hand off the table, had to physically lift it.
John Larroquette really puts on a performance here. Underrated actor. One of the top episodes of all time. Honestly, if I had one day left, I'd probably spend much of it eating my favorite foods as well.
Agreed. If I had one day. I'd have a threesome, run a D&D game with my friends, and eat my favorite foods. Challah French Toast with crispy bacon and blueberry syrup in the morning, shrimp enchiladas for lunch, lobster ravioli for dinner, and lava cake with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for dessert.
OMG YOUR RIGHT ITS HIM
how is someone who got like 6 straight emmys "underrated"? Words have meanings, remember?
I honestly didnt recognize him until he left the hospital, his accent seemed to change back to Dan Fielding for me :)
Wasn't John in the librarian's?
I love how he took the fact that he'll die so well .Like he's just appreciative that he even got the moment.
do you know your name?
I realized when he mentioned how powerful he was before the fire, he used the words "Before I died.." so I think he feels like he already did die the first time and now he just gets one last hurrah. But still you're right lol he has a very good attitude about it
All the patients in this series must have amazing medical insurance
Well, only because most of them have to go through several other doctors before they get to House's hospital. As for THAT hospital, it's free. They've mentioned that in several episodes. It's a training hospital and something like 90% of their cases are pro bono.
Must all be illegal immigrants 🤣
@@0megacron so how does a free hospital afford to keep a man in a medically sustained vegetative state for a decade?
@@riffdex Easy... it's a tv show.
@@riffdex These institutions are supported by donors. His costs are infinitesimally tiny comparatively. My Grandmother was a doctor at John's Hopkins in the 1TRA ward. Similar case here, these cases are for study and research. There have been coma patients there like there are kept in a lot of hospitals. They aren't all 'at-home' care. Nice thing about healthcare in the US, it's given 2.4-2.8 times more money per patient than in the EU-15 (oops, EU-14 now) countries.
This kind of thing isn't completely abnormal.
"The only power I have left is the power to annoy *you."* Fantastic line!
There's a huge storytelling reasons for him hopping out of bed despite the obvious inaccuracy in being able to do so. The moral dilemma of the episode only really exists if he has autonomy. Power. Him being in a 10-year coma means you can have "House power dynamic" and "world has changed" subplots instead of the usual "find and solve problem" thing.
and that power dynamic in the episode was great.
If you don't already, you should write more reviews. This is such an interesting and well-informed takeaway.
Well, he could act just a little weaker maybe.
I never expect entertainment to be literal and realistic. They are telling a story, so that includes poetic license, if you will. Sometimes a major faux pas jumps out at me, but for the most part, I just sit back and enjoy the storytelling!!
Funny thing is, a common drug we all know of by the name of Ambien is like this. It's been bringing people out of comas, helping people with brain injuries and other physical damage/disorders be able to act and speak "normally", I mean they're still high on ambien but they can function, and it's absolutely fucking wild.
That IS wild! i was prescribed it briefly for insomnia and I forgot I took my dose once and only took one extra pill and had an absolute crazy trip… thought the clothes on my couches were people I was hosting a party, made my way outside somehow… thank god my dog is so well behaved because my boyfriend came home from work got he front door wide open and me passed out on the couch. That is so incredibly interesting. My dad is a neuropsychologist, been retired for awhile, but he specializes in brain trauma and the like…. He still writes for journals so I’ll have to ask him what he knows about this
it’s not actually bringing people out of comas, it’s bringing them out of locked in syndrome.
I've had it
Aka us ADHDers who have a life on it.
@@sharonh4944 if you have ADHD you shouldn't be getting prescribed Ambien nor should you need it's effects on a regular basis
Let's ignore how unscientific the story is, and appreciate how cleverly written the characters are instead. It's not about whether it could or could not happen, but having the idea and then developing it into an episode.
this has happened in real life, the woman could use her eyes, speak and move with assistance
yea like the bible..
We’ll they obviously based this episode off the movie awakenings, which was a true story, all be it that was with catatonic patients rather than coma patients. (Man used a drug to treat catatonic patients who Began functioning normal until the drug slowly stoped workin) but your right it is a well written plot.
@@dragonlogos1 The unrealistic part is not the awakening but the details like, the drug took 1 min to awake someone in a coma, faster than the alarm got me out of bed, and he is strong enough to pick himself up instantly after laying there for 10 years. But in order for this episode to work it has to be this way. Otherwise we would be looking at an episode of last wish dialogs and boring lab case study questionings
@@SportNut1 well yes I agree with that. I just wanted to point to some of the influences that informed the episode.
I am so glad someone is keeping this channel alive

“Step one: exist.”
@@AFish-jp1nt yooo😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 too accurate
@@AFish-jp1nt I can see how close you are to Wilson's heart
@@cheemsinspace5638 very, very close
John Larroquette plays a great character here. It's not often someone can keep up with House.
I was in a coma for 12 days, woke up with no voice and couldn't walk for days. This man is cool
Wow, I I’m just surprised you’re being open about it. So was this episode relieving? I asking cause I’m earning my way to getting a psych degree and Ithink your insight could be valuable.
@@veronicanaumov2981 I was in a coma for 7 days with viral encephalitis at the age of 16 which was many years ago. My parents said that my EEG said that my brain was addled and to say goodbye and that if I ever did wake up I would be intellectually disabled. They got a Catholic priest in to give me my last rites (I was not a practicing Catholic) and they made my funeral arrangements. Then I woke up. I was just fine except for a nasty headache which I had for ages afterwards. I remember lying down in the back of the car as my parents drove me home for several hours with a screaming headache which I think I had for months.
One interesting effect of the coma was the fact that I lost lots of memories. For example, I forgot about a boyfriend that I'd had some months earlier until someone mentioned his name. Some memories came back when something triggered them but I have lots of gaps. I remembered more recent things but not older things. For example, when I got back to school I could remember more complex mathematical formulas but 2X=4 was a mystery to me. I got about 3% on a maths test and the teacher got stuck into me for such a dreadful result and my Mum went to the school and told him off and that I'd been sick which all the teachers knew about. They knew because initially they didn't know what was wrong with me and at a school assembly told everyone I was very ill and they weren't sure why and asked all the students to come forward if I had taken any drugs. I hadn't taken any drugs. That teacher was always a pig to other students but never to me as I was a good student until that day he gave me back my maths test results.
I also became really good with remembering numbers like my drivers licence number, tax file number, phone numbers of people I rang, etc. Funnily enough when I was later at university on a clinical placement my supervisor told me that she had also had viral encephalitis years before and she too could remember numbers much better afterwards. The brain is incredibly interesting.
My Mom thinks that my personality also changed and she thinks for the worst. I have no idea if she is right as I feel the same to me. Perhaps I just grew up.
One of my sons is considering psychiatry too. Best of luck with your degree.
You're the one that's cool, man.. 🎉🎉
I was bedridden and in hospital for a few months, and it took several months to learn how to walk again. painful as hell too
The longer House hung out with this guy, the more he liked him. House was honestly sad to see him go at the end.
What happens?
@@shahied123 As mentioned in this video, He was going to go, Back into a vegetative state, After a day or 2 and his son needed a transplant. He couldn't donate his heart while he was in his vegetative state (That would be considered as murder). So house suggest him to kill himself (And in a slow way, So that his heart will be preserved.). He hangs himself while House sits outside the room.
Crazy. Thanks.
I am just annoyed now that I know more about muscular atrophy and knowing almost no coma patient who was under for that long would just get up and walk like it was nothing. Hell, after sitting for half an hour on the toilet playing games on my phone my legs become useless and need about 5 minutes of getting them to work properly. Can't imaging years in a coma.
Vegetative state
He could've received regular physical therapy, you never know
earlier house had stated that in his vegetative state he "moves around" in the bed and his muscles have "barely atrophied" compared to a coma. i don't know if that would really be enough in real life to just casually walk around and get dressed but combined with the uppers it's addressed well enough for a show like this lol
TMI
You may not be well. Get yourself checked. I was in full bed rest for 4 years. Legs worked fine after that. Could event sprint a little though would pain the next day.
I got lost when he asked “what’s this it says ipod??”😆
I knooow 🤣🤣🤣
I love it when shows do that. “This person is from the past, let’s have them comically react to new, everyday technology.” What’s even funnier… the iPod is now outdated technology and gives away the show’s age.
What's this, it says IP..OD?! 😂
@@JingleJangle256 To be fair, if you COMPLETELY missed the development of mp3 players and Apple's foray into consumer portable electronics, you'd be confused too. Keep in mind that the click-wheel was a completely new input method.
Imagine someone being aware of the iPod and then just handing them an iPhone 15 pro. They'd be confused too. "What's 'Pro' or 'Max' about this thing?" "Where's the main menu?" Oh and that's before you'd have to tell them about stupid gestures instead of intuitive buttons. Even if they knew about touchscreens, the flat design would make the thing foreign to them.
Patient: The woman you fell in love with, how'd you meet?
House: She shot me.
And we laugh because it's true.
Was that Cuddy or his ex-wife?
@@G.F.SF55 It was Stacy Warner, the ex. Stacy was a lawyer, which is why she opposed House at the paintball event. Cuddy dreamed of becoming a doctor since the age of 12, but I too thought it might be Cuddy until I thought of House's paintball reference.
@@JB-pk3bz Thanks!
Funny enough, could be applied to a couple different shows. Like Lucifer for instance.
@@solidmoon8266 yes
I still will never understand why that man didn’t want to see his son. He was the closest thing he had left to a family.
Can’t lie, I’m not using my only moments outside of a vegetative state on someone else either. I don’t see the issue lmao
@@jamesynfg He wanted a sandwich in Atlantic City though. I guess I’ll never understand until I’m in a vegetative state.
in the episode, the father held a grudge against the son regarding the house fire.
@@coolL9457 No in the episode he specifically said, “You don’t blame a boy for an accident.”
@@anthonymendez1997 He explains that he feels guilty for failing to save his family from the fire. He feels like he failed as a husband, a father, a protector and as a man. He doesn't want to spend his last few hours watching his son dying and being unable to do anything to help him because that would destroy him more than the prospect of going back into a coma so he escapes as far as he can. Of course when he learns that he can actually save his son he gives up his life to do so.
A contender for least realistic episode, but still a great one
It's really not in the running
this has happened in real life, the woman could use her eyes, speak and move with assistance
Your prof pic
When I woke up from a week long induced coma, it took me 3 weeks, right up until the time of my discharge to learn how to prop myself up, lift my legs, stand, walk without the assistance of a walker, and climb stairs. Ain't no way this man got up just like that.
You didn’t watch the episode did you
"Good news for legal. The only one he's got is the one upstairs. Dying"
To be fair, he wasn't risking the man's life. If he hadn't persuaded the man to kill himself to save his son, he may have just gone back into a vegetative state.
John Larroquette, one of the most underrated actors of my generation, he is so multi-talented, serious and comedic actor, accomplished dancer and singer (hidden talents), he should have a Tony, Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar on his fireplace mantle - Night Court, West Wing, so, so many other shows - everybody wishes they had an uncle like him. This is one of the Top 10 episodes of House, M.D.
This was my favorite episode. They couldn't have gotten a better actor for this particular part. Loved John on nightcourt all of those years
He had a show after that as the manager of a bus terminal. It was very low key but with good characters around him and he was a good man in it. So of course it got cancelled.
'Now the only power ibhave left, is to annoy you.'
*House contemplating if he made a mistake waking up vegetative-state guy*
I'm always amazed how some of these coma patients are so well-shaven.
To be fair its within the realm of possibility that he just doesn't really have facial hair
Nurses can shave coma patients. In the hospital i was at, nurses would shave the (unable to do it themselves) guys faces every morning. Maybe this happens here too
I'm amazed how a 10 year vegetable man can move like that, like nothing ever happened.
He did say their barber sucks to House, so I guess they have a barber that they allocate to people in a coma.
@@annemontgomery6167if I woke up from a coma and didn't even get to look the part I'd be pissed. let rip van winkle have his beard!
John Larroquette is such a fantastic actor. Very glad that David Shore and the casting team decided to bring him a board for this episode.
How would he be able to talk so clearly after 10 years and just be totally self aware
House told Wilson that the patient's system was pumped with drugs that's why he's reflexes were good
sleep for 10 hours and you refreshed
sleep for 10 years and you can fight bear
He literally couldn't. House was never a realistic hospital drama, but this episode was easily the least plausible.
Because it's fake. As in made up, fictional, not true. It's a TV show for crying out loud do you really think the writers know a single thing about real medical anything? What I want to know is why people ask such stupid questions about something they know is Fake to start with?
6:50 I love how Wilson sounds like an exasperated mom who knows you've been signing your own permission slips
Exasperated? That's such a weak, meek reaction for forgery.
This show, fairly consistently, skates right along the edge of death, and explores how people respond to that situation.
The teaching hospital uses my friend's inches thick file (somewhat redacted) as an entry question when asking trainee doctors "How long does this man have to live?"
The usual answer is between 24 and 48 hours from the symptoms presented.
Three weeks in an induced coma and he could afterwards identify the good and the bad doctors and nurses by their voices...and what they said within his hearing.
He ripped strips off one doctor who kept saying he was going to die......to the man's wife.
He said hearing that was like being in a water filled glass cube and struggling to break through the glass top to scream "I will not die...do not say that to my wife".
It's been 5 years now....beat their predictions he would not walk again, beat their predictions on everything.
The same young doctors class just finish their "He's going to die" discussion...
when he walks into the lecture.....
Ethics demand good bedside manner for a reason....
Yer goddam right about that. It's a shame that ethics is an abstraction from our feral beginnings, and some people never lose that, and then handed positions of authority. Cops, doctors, anybody in charge of the welfare of others need to have a modicum of respect, even if its faked for public consumption.

Dr. House answers questions:
"What is up with you two?"
"Wilson lied to the bulls to keep me out of the Big House."
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"Well, who's he going to tell? By tomorrow night he's going to be a mindless stalk of celery."
Little did they know he just needed more mouse bites.
"I loved power, and the only power I have right now is to annoy you." Yep, a business owner.
the entire show is just
''i know exactly how to cure him''
''no you don't you are gonna kill him 100% sure on that''
''oh look i fixed him''
you skipped the part where he gets it wrong and nearly does kill them like 5 times before the real cure
"be reasonable... there's no way this is gonna work!" is one of my favourite House lines
"Man wakes up from 10 year coma, drives to Atlantic City to eat a sandwich and fucking dies"
Stroke patient here. My right side was paralyzed from the stroke but involuntary spasms and convulsions kept the muscles in my leg from atrophy. Same with the arm. The interesting thing was, as I regained control of the leg and arm each area that I regained stopped convulsing as I got it under full control. It was still a little weak but not so much as you’d expect after 6 months. The arm doesn’t have full control yet but the leg does and has stopped spasming and convulsing. The upper arm is back but the forearm,wrist and fingers are not. They still have spasms and convulsions. This keeps the muscles from atrophy. The chest, abdomen and hip muscles have also come back. I don’t have full control of facial muscles and have a really severe speech impediment. I didn’t have control of the eye for the first few days as I couldn’t control the lid. That came back in a few days. My take? As long as there is no nerve damage it is possible for the guy to get up and walk after only a few hours but he won’t have much stamina. My personal experience. Your mileage may vary.
Stroke after the vax?
@@jackharle1251 I hope that if you experience a stroke that people just assume it's because you didn't get vaccinated, and not because of a logical reason. Just so that you can understand and reflect how silly and uneducated you sound.
@@jackharle1251stroke after working 50 hours a week for 30 years. Doctor said I had high blood pressure, PTSD and a host of stress related illnesses. I had a heart attack prior to the stroke and was told to quit my job. I had no where else to go and if I cut down my hours I’d my job. I was vaccinated a year before the stroke. The doctor said if it was going to give me a stroke it would have been in the first month after the jab.
This guy is such a mood. He wakes up after 10 years and instantly dominates the room.
Man woke up from a coma better than i wake up from 8 hours of sleep
I always felt like a coma patient should be thinner than that
House finally meets someone who is his intellectual equal and likes playing games. A match made in heaven.
The guy has been in a coma for ten years and when he wakes up it’s like he’s just had 15 min snooze.
There’s no way anyone would put up with House the way Wilson does!
The most far fetched, yet enjoyable show ever
Small detail I never noticed- an attendant is pumping gas in Wilson’s car. They’re in NJ- one of two states that prohibit drivers self-fueling and require gas station attendants to pump
I worked on a Traumatic Brain Injury Unit for 5 years, so the errors and improbabilities mentioned in the other comments are very apparent, not least the term "vegetative state," which was dropped for "minimally conscious state" long before this was filmed. None of that bothers me though - I just love to see John Laroquette doing battle with Hugh Laurie - each a total match for the other.
The most inaccurate medical scene ever. If he was in bed for 10 years in a "persistent vegetative state", 1.) He would have a tracheostomy to breathe 2.) And a feeding tube 3.) He would not have been able to raise his head and prop up on his elbows so readily, much less stand up. Laying in bed even for a few days can weaken you. 10 years? Muscle weakness, atrophy and foot drop. And a painful bed sore or two. Yes I know it's Hollywood ...
Foot drop and bedsores only if the cnas aren't following protocol. Footboards were literally made to prevent foot drop and sliding too far down and we're supposed to turn comatose or vegetative patients every two hours. I would know, did it for days in a nursing home where multiple people were dying at once
They do have a throwaway line said that his muscles barely antrophy, so this is science fiction but in this world meth and amp can make him high and agile af
Muscular atrophy is one thing, the more important thing in my opinion is that comas don't work like this. Patients in a coma don't have reflexes like coughing or vomiting and thus have to be on a respirator and feeding tubes permanently. After such a long time, the patient would have received a tracheotomy to avoid Tubus-induced ulcers on the epiglottis and vocal cords and a gastric feeding tube at the very least. Coma doesn't mean you just sleep a long time.
To quote the great calculon: This is the worst coma acting I've seen in years!
''vegetative state'' please watch the video before you comment
@@justarandomguy3969
Sarcasm must be accompanied by........ /s to be understood by the TikTok generation....
I was in an induced coma for 12 days and I couldn't even lift my hand to my face when they woke me up, let alone stand. It took a good few weeks before I could walk with a wheelie walker, and another few before I could ditch it. But this guy gets up and walks immediately, after years in a coma! Not very realistic.
If this is true I’m glad you’re back.
@@jimmyboy1582 Thank you. Yes, it's true. My husband and I both got Covid last March, and he didn't make it. I survived by an absolute miracle. At one point, the doctors were standing around me and onse of them said I had one, maybe two days to live. I heard that, even though I was in a coma, and that was the first time I realised how sick I was. So I realised that I had to fight, and just a few days later, they started waking me slowly. I was in hospital for a total of 10 weeks, but I'm okay now.
@@bronwynsteck God bless! And I'm sorry to hear about you're husband. God is strange and glorious!
Firstly, this guy wasn't in a coma, he was in a vegatitive state, and house comments that he barely had any muscle atrophy and would regularly move around in the bed.
Plus, he is dosed up with amphetamines...
You know what else isnt realistic, 99% of media.
@@ABVW92 He lies in bed for 10 years, then gets up and acts like nothing has happened. Very unrealistic.
I admire this man and his audacity
I know it’s a show, but this episode was one I just had to shake my head at. There’s no way he would have been able to start moving around likes that after a 10 year coma, even if he was receiving PT to work his muscles. Not to mention his weight was way too heavy for being in a 10 year coma. While he might have wanted a steak, he wouldn’t be able to eat anything solid for quite a while.
I was in a really bad car accident in 1993. L2 compression fracture and my small intestine was severed from my stomach. I spent three weeks in two hospitals, had L2 fused together and fused to L1, small intestine was reattached and rerouted to my bowels, and part of my large intestine had to be removed due to being twisted and bruised.
I was fed through a tube for two weeks and lost 45-50 pounds. Once I was able to eat solid foods again, it was a couple bites at a time or I would throw up. Even with just a week in bed before my back was fused, it took me three days to be able to walk more than 10-15 feet. It took months to gain enough strength to walk more than 20-30 minutes, and gaining weight took even longer.
So sorry to hear that, jfc I can’t begin to imagine how awful that must have been. But you are writing this thirty years later, so that’s something. Did everything heal up completely?
And yeah, this show is mostly wish fulfilment strung together by clinical technobabble lol
@@segamai Sadly no…I have a lot of chronic pain that gets worse daily. I’ve had 21 surgeries since 1993 and just learned I need my neck from C2-C6 fused, low back from L2-S1 fused, my right hip replaced, and my left ankle tendons replaced. But I’m still alive and kicking. There are a lot more folks out there who need help more than I do.
How do you lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks? Even if you completely stopped eating, you would not lose 25 pounds a week
It's really going to blow your mind when you realize that Hugh Laurie isn't actually a doctor.
@@pmarreck Okay, but notice the situation. Small intestine was severed from stomach and twisted and bruised. Inflammation can cause weight loss. It can cause severe weight loss too. Inflammation and viruses can cause rapid weight loss. My grandfather was in a medically induced coma due to COVID last year, and when he got out of the hospital, he was very thin. He was in the hospital for about 2-3 weeks, and he probably lost about 40-60 pounds while there. So it's definitely possible.
You really want me to believe that someone that's been in a coma for 10 years can just get up and walk around that easily? Not likely.
Or that a British person can fake an American accent.
"Give me 30mg of your finest amphetamines."
Lots of great lines in this show.
Guy hasn't used his vocal cord in 10 years. Wakes up, speaks like a radio host immediately. I wake up from a night's sleep, I need like 2 mins for my voice to reboot.
"I can out-draw you, mysterious stranger."
House's fake Mexican accent made me bust up laughing when I first saw this.
0:21
House clips feel like 1 minutes instead of 8 minutes. I must really like house 🏠 🥰
Which series is this
@@amanLk2110 Season 3
The jokes are good but as someone who has been in a coma for 5 weeks I can tell you that after 10 years he wouldn't be doing math and getting up putting on pants with 15lbs of weight loss, I had atrophied all my muscles away after just a short time. Standing was painful like fire all over my body, but waking up took time and my brain fog lasted for a while. After two months of rehabilitation and then another year of working out while back at school, I managed to regain my strength. But for the sake of the show, they did a good job telling the story. A ten year coma is a LONG time.
about 50 other people commented the exact same way before you,just like their comments instead next time.
@@hurleycapetown8420 the point of this post was the testimonial, not the critique of the plot
i spent 8 weeks in a medically induced coma when i was 39 years old it took months of physical therypy to walk with a walker , he would not be able to move
This is not how you speak and act after spending even a week in disabled state, I assure you.
Thanks doctor
House was the last network TV show that I went out of my way to watch, and the only medical drama that I ever watched.
John Laroquette is brilliant in this, makes it so much fun, and makes it one of the top ten House episodes.
Guy wakes up after 10 years and just wants to party, that seems perfectly normal to me.
The ipod part always made me laugh, now after apple discontinuing the ipod touch, it hits so different
No one on the Planet would wake from a two weeks coma looking like this. Much less from a 10 years one.
Man, for a 10 years coma person he drives a car better than I do
That's John Laroquette (Dan from NIGHT COURT). I recognize the voice.
John Larroquette is a treasure.
"I'm risking to get sued, that's the only objection here".
Very House, that reply.
Only cause I love House will I let this go but NO man who's in a coma for 10 years IF he woke up could walk talk and just function normally like he only had a 20 minute power nap
''vegetative state'' and this has happened in real life, the woman could use her eyes, speak and move with assistance
Best part of the entire episode, “what’s this? Says IPahd”
The writing for this show was beyond amazing
That and house saying his reflexes are better than Earnhardt
This was another fantastic House episode. I was thrilled to see John Larroquette as coma guy!!!
“I can outdraw you mysterious stranger!” god house is amazing
Gotta go with House on this, I would rather have a good day or two then spend the rest of my life as a vegetable.
“I can out-draw you, mysterious stranger” 😂
4:34 Wilson be like "Ugh I guess this is my day now"
1:03 and 1:08
Chase and Cameron's faces were like seeing Lazarus waving and saying "Sup Mfkrs" from the tomb 😂🤣
me after 8 hours of sleep: where am I? why i can't say anything? why my eyes hurt?
this guy after years of coma: i woke up like it's 20 minutes nap. back to work.
God bless the nurse that gave him an immaculate clean shave every day
"People on death row get a last meal" 🙊
He never mentioned his time as district attorney for new york city
“What’s a Ip-od?” Can you imagine that? Being out of the culture loop for ten years, and then being popped back in. Think about what you have now and compare that to what you had ten years ago. Heck, even the IPod is old and obsolete now. It’s all about the iPhone
I cant wake up like that after 8 hours sleep...
No bedsores at all?
And his muscles are somehow not atrophied.
House appreciates and admires that the patient is so much like him.
The ending was heartbreaking
I can't remember
@@brizzaNATHIELLY his wife's family had a rare genetic disorder leading to multiple accidents and alcohol addiction. His son has the same. In the end he commit suicide by hanging in the hotel room to give his son his heart. He didn't even have time to see his son before dying.
@@dryb3301 Correction, the disease didn't make the wife family alcoholic, just made them seem like that to the outside. The son really was alcoholic, but that was not directly cause by the disease.
@@dryb3301 technically House killed him, he didn't commit suicide.
@@jakistam1000 yeah, my mistake. Just everyone thought they were alcoholics because they couldn't properly see moving objects and caused accidents. The child was an alcoholic
Giving him computer is like giving plutonium to Dr No
I just enjoyed watching Wilson sitting in the backseat munching and enjoying the by-play
You know this was a long time ago when an iPod was considered the pinnacle of technology.
Can't be any older tha 2004. That is NOT that long ago. In the course of time, that isn't a full blink of an eye....
If Cuddy was hanging over my bed that close to me I would wake up too.
Patti and Selma always in your face, always smokin
Ten years. That's one heck of a bill!
I love that this is old enough that the joke is two ways, with the "new" tech. What a fun and unintended bit of comedy.
Looking at the 5th Gen in my drawer makes me relate to that more than I want
@@HappyBeezerStudios Did you see the new proposed bill in Congress, that demands all devices use a uniform charger cord? Not a bad idea, but amusing it came to that.
@@Tijuanabill
China did that years ago...can you image how much E waste that stopped???
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq I guess dictators wear capes too?
@@Tijuanabill
Just like it's easy to make bad laws under a dictatorship...it's easy to pass good laws of benefit to their society...you don't have arguments or Court cases dragging out the implementation in either case???
BANG....problem solved.
Next problem?
"Im starving, i could really go for a steak" first words of man in coma for 10 years
Bro just woke up from a 10 year coma and just stood up, looked into the light, spoke about steak, swallowed and everything he shouldn't have been able to do 💀💀
I like when House uses funny voices like at 0:19
