To be fair he's got a point. I wouldn't want my near and dear around me when I have something that makes me say whatever I think of, whether it hurts those around me or not. Some things are better left untold. At least keep the daughter away.

@@NyxHunter That's not the same thing. She wasn't asking him questions that would force bad answers. She asked simple questions that you should already be answering truthfully if you're in a committed relationship with someone. It was wrong for her to take advantage of his medical condition but it honestly wasn't that bad on her part. He was the one who was lying about things she needed to know the truth about in order to decide whether she wants to be with him. If you have to lie about something important to stay in a relationship with someone than you probably shouldn't be in a relationship with that person.
Definitely true for the daughter. She's still just a kid. The man literally begged his wife not to let her near him while he was suffering from this, because he knew how much psychological damage he could cause and she did it anyway. Truly idiotic decision. She knows his condition. She knows he can't help himself. And yet, she still brings the kid, despite his pleas not to. I'm starting to understand why he thinks his wife isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
The fact that his IMMEDIATE answer to the question "Do you love me?" is "Yes" says a lot about what love actually is. Loving someone is not the same as liking someone. Ideally you have both, but even a beloved partner, child, family member or best friend will have aspects to them you don't like. There may even be rough patches where you REALLY don't like them...but you still love them. He doesn't think his wife is smart. He doesn't really understand or fully approve of her work. Her nagging bothers him. But when asked, in a state of total inhibition, if he loves her, he says "yes" without hesitation. Loving someone isn't about thinking someone is perfect and without flaw, it's about treasuring someone in their totality. As someone with OCD, it took awhile for me to understand that thoughts are just thoughts and they're not indicative of who I am as a person. I feel for this guy...he kind of has a verbal version of an OCD brain, just thoughts popping up unbidden that he doesn't want and doesn't like. He knows the things he's saying aren't OK but they're happening against his will, except the things he's saying are just reactions to what's going on around him, instead of "what if" scenarios.
yes exactly, thank you, someone who understands that It's not about loving someone only when they're perfect. Love is about appreciating someone and feeling those positive feelings for them DESPITE their flaws. Like the quote from Good Will Hunting, you come to appreciate the little imperfections in your partner, and love them even more for them because even if you don't like those things, those things are what make them "them", they're what make them unique.

@therookiegamer2727 Cameron said it to Thirteen once. In truth, it's not faster but House just wouldn't let go so no use of avoiding his intrusive questions.
I think it's cool how immediate he said "Yes" when she asked if he loved her. As perfect as many of us would like to think relationships should be, I'm willing to bet even the best couples have had doubts and reluctances. The fact that he immediately said he loved her, despite his illness and potential doubts in the past, should tell her a lot.
If everyone was this open about their thoughts then humans would not be a social species. It's really stupid for you to ask someone such personal and harsh questions knowing they will give you the most blunt answer possible and they can't help it, because everyone has flaws on the inside.

@@asad9934 If a TV-show makes you think and speculate beyond the premise it set up, then it did a good job entertaining you. It means you thoroughly enjoyed what you watched and want to think about it some more and speculate about its ramifications even further. TV isn't always just entertainment you watch to pass the time and then forget about as soon as it's done. Sometimes, it sticks in your head and your thoughts take you places that make you think about it more. It's how imagination works. Let him have it. It's a gift, not a curse.
@@asad9934 There is no extreme political doctrine, no crime against humanity, that I am more opposed to than the question "why the need to overthink it bro?" The answer is: Because it's *FUN*
The title is somewhat misleading. It's not like he has something that prohibits him from lying. He has something that makes his brain unable to differentiate between thoughts and speech, thus forcing him to just blab out whatever he may be thinking at the time freely and openly without any filters at all.
...which in practice means that whatever he "just blabs out" is what he genuinely thinks within the moment and by definition is therefore not a lie. No?
@@rhonafenwick5643 But just because you think something, especially something largely subjective, doesn't automatically mean that it's true or ought to be true. We all have thoughts sometimes that we know shouldn't or won't come true because we understand that they may become embarrassing or insulting if uttered in front of others. When he says he'd do Cuddy with fudge and cherry, we all understand that he doesn't mean that seriously or literally, but that it's just an exaggerated metaphor that first shot through his mind and that no sane human being would openly speak these words out loud. But it isn't like he's under the influence of some powerful truth serum all the time, forcing him to always tell what he believes to be true when asked a question. He has a frontal lobe disfunction that makes him unable to keep his own personal thoughts to himself.
Actually I think Olivia Wilde broke character and they just decided "nah that tracks for 13 leave it in." Because the best shot you see of it is when she turns her head back to the camera and the shot lingers just a biiiiiit too long. They could have cut it but they didn't.
Your personal truth is still telling the truth without filters. Therefore, whatever is on your mind, is probably also your personal truth. Both he can not control to not speak out.
@@christophsiebert1213 Anyone with OCD will tell you that is just not true. Your personal truth is what you have chosen to believe in, but your thoughts are just generated from external stimuli triggering mental associations
No, your personal truth is not your thoughts without filters lol. People have intrusive thoughts that mean nothing all the time. When a kid in a tantrum screams “I hate you!” And “I wish you were dead!” At their parents, they’re speaking those thoughts. They don’t actually mean any of it, it’s not true, not even in the moment. If their parents actually dropped dead that second, they’d be terrified and upset. Your uninhibited thoughts can be *lies*, including lies you tell yourself.
5:27 As a teacher in training I've thought a lot about what he says here. While I believe every student has their own exceptionalities, has the potential to thrive, and will do best with adaptations for their individual needs and learning style, I'm skeptical of how many kids these days are simultaneously "gifted and talented" and "special needs" or have a learning disability. Every parent wants to believe that their kid is the smartest, highest potential, most exceptional. And when they aren't, they grasp at anything to have it be that the kid has special needs, not that they are simply average or below-average. While this is well-meaning, I believe this does a lot of harm to kids. Puts a lot of pressure on them to be "exceptional," makes the kid feel like they aren't good enough, that their parents won't accept them as who they are. Deprives them of a childhood even, the opportunity to just be a kid.
Daydreaming and auditory processing problems are indicative of inattentive ADHD. We have trouble keeping friends, trouble sleeping, we're chronically forgetful, and we often develop self-esteem problems because we grow up believing we're stupid or lazy because that's what we're told. For those of us who do eventually identify it for the disorder it is, it takes medication to treat the disorder and years of therapy to unfuck us from not being taken seriously. The girl doesn't need to be told she's stupid or lazy. She needs help.
@@anonymone453 You are absolutely right! The girl does not need to be told she is stupid... but the parents might want to keep it as one of the possible reasons, instead of blindly staring at the awesome "our kid just has blablablablaba syndrome and otherwise would be top student" ... Denial is just as bad as lying.
This is why I believe in standardized testing. If education is about building a skill set starting with basic concepts that lead into more advanced concepts it's important to be certain that the basic building blocks have been mastered before introducing more advanced lessons but we insist on grouping by age rather than having an objective metric to determine if the student has mastered the basic and is ready to progress. The purpose of education is the result and we should not focus on the amount of time it takes to get there. Some will progress quickly others will be slower but the goal is to build a skill set that will allow them to function as an adult.
@@anonymone453 I had severe ADHD in school. It did not affect my test scores though it affected my ability to pay attention in class and how much I would interrupt teachers. You might be thinking of ADD, that is the same without the hyperactive part. If you had ADHD you would be over attentive not inattentive. Even with ADHD it did not affect my test scores at all I still had high test scores but it was hard to focus to do homework or classwork.
@@anonymone453 When all you have is a hammer every problem's a nail, right? The kid clearly has no issues listening or paying attention. He heard her father just fine. Not everything is ADHD. Some people just aren't very quick on the uptake
The man is sick, but the wife is being so selfish. She should know by now that he doesn't mean anything he says. It's the brain issue that keeps him from speaking and thinking properly. She is not doing anything to help him feel better. She was just making things worse for both of them with her selfishness.
@@riveness The inhibition would also cause you to stop talking, instead of just filtering your thoughts. Since that inhibition deactivates all that functionality he cannot stop talking, since that part of the brain is inhibited.
The wife is really in the wrong here. He can't help but be honest and the things he says aren't even that shocking. Still she acts like her world is shattered and she can't trust him, while in reverse she probably would have made much worse statements. Saying things like sometimes I wish I never married or you are not the sharpest are actually things my parents would be honest about without a condition (maybe because we are Dutch). In the end lying only makes things worse and I think is very sweet with telling the truth.
I heard someone say once that your first thought isn't you, it's what your environment and upbringing has taught you to think. It's your second thought that's important. What you chose to put out into the world is just as, and sometimes more, important as what you think. For example, you can think caring for someone you loves' needs after a long day annoying and tiresome, and it can be, but just because you feel that way doesn't mean you don't love them. You do it anyway. That's what care is - if it was always easy to care about someone, you wouldn't be human
I've heard something almost exactly the same. I think it was phrased, "The first thought that comes into your head isn't what defines you. It's your reaction to that thought that determines your character." That's stayed with me a long time now.
There's this episode of The Simpsons where Homer drives cab back home while drunk, and the cab is part of a TV show to expose people's secrets? I love it because it perfectly represents what happens here. Homer's first statements is that he loves his wife and family to bits (which, despite his awful behaviors and choices, he confirms across the series multiple times). Then, while still drunk, he admits it's not all roses and that he has frustrations on how he struggles to keep the family afloat and that it sucks out his energy and freedom. Marge, Bart and Lisa are upset at first (especially when he fumbles the apology), but by the next day take him to a Heavy Metal Summer Camp because they realized that A) Homer sincerely loves them and B) the drunken insults are him just venting while drunk about all the hard work he does and life's struggles tiring him out, but that it doesn't mean his love isn't real or sincere. Marge, ironically, has more common sense than the wife in this episode.
Disgusting is far, she wasn't in the bestest of mental states either, and she didn't ask any horrible questions, She was annoying for sure but if my s/o was dying I'd be unstable too, And a woman wondering if their s/o really loves them as far as I'm aware sounds pretty fitting and normal soo

Too bad this patient didn't have a customer service job. It would be so funny (and cathartic for me) if all of the sudden he started snarking at a rude customer.
"Oh my god, I hate having to listen to people like you whining about all your problems every day and night as if there is some greater mystery in your life that only ever affects you. Oh, I-I's so sorry, I didn't mean for you to hear how annoying this conversation is and I especially didn't mean to vocalise my thoughts out loud. What's going on? Why is everything I'm thinking coming out?"
As someone who works a customer service job, that guy would be fired in like a day but we would all applaud him as he walked out and we would tell his legend for months to come
We can all admit it Harry should have been in Slytherin it would have killed the meaning of the book because all slytherins are evil in JK Rowling's perfect world
You mean to tell me that Harry Potter, a kid as evil as Tommy Riddle and Dumbledore's old squeeze Grindy combined, should have been in Slytherin? The dude that abused the loyalty of his naive minion Gryffindor and his other minion who should have been in Ravenclaw as well as a slew of others to force his way through school and life? The son of the entitled, pompous bully of Snivelus... I mean... Severus? The dude who latched onto the prophecy that should have been about Neville? The guy who tortured Carrow and enjoyed it? Had no remorse over almost killing Draco with Sectumsempra? Assaulted multiple people for his own gain? Bullied Dudley relentlessly when he finally felt he had the upper hand? Used both Imperius and Cruciatus on the same day, because he felt entitled to do it? Actively planned to murder Bellatrix? Allowed multiple people to literally sacrifice their lives to protect his? That Harry? Yeah. Some of his evil did shine through even if JK tried her best to write him as the good guy.
Maybe she isn't the sharpest tool in the box. Starts rattling off questions she doesn't want the answers to but then doesn't believe him when he says he loves her, lol.
I always felt like the Wife here s a terrible person: She brings their daughter around a husband who can't control a SINGLE thought regardless of how humans filter their raw thoughts, then asks him questions she knows will hurt him right after he gets out of surgery. I can guarantee if she was in the same boat, she would have unsavory things to say too.
It really is infuriating to see how the wife and daughter stay around, especially after the first 3 incidents where he was shown to say hurtful things, knowing that will happen again and yet don't leave until its too late. Jeez I have to remind myself this is just a show for entertainment..
He says yes when she asks if he even loves her and she doesnt let him finish why. She really isnt the sharpest tool in the shed like he said, she just baited him to say all the negative things about her and didnt wanna hear any of the reasons why he loves her in spite of it.

7:40 shows why i think Kutner was one of the only people who was on the same level as House thinking wise. He knows that House understood what he meant, and just played along!
What I don't like about this episode is, just because he could say and think of the worst thing at the moment that doesn't mean he has to be thinking the worst thing ever single time Like when they talk about his daughter's disability, why would he be thinking the worst thing about her? The syndrome is about saying what you're thinking, not thinking the worst option
ok this family is dysfunctional but not for the reason they think 1) the father refuses to think his daughter has a problem. may be or may be not but if there is a doubt you have to check it, not ignore it 2) the father equates intelligence and school results. At least he doesn't equates them to success in life but it's still a stupid thing. A very intelligent person will do well in school on things that need not be studied. If they require effort that has nothing to do with iq but with being determined or lazy. 3) the wife concentrates on the fact that her husband doesn't think she is perfect when she should actually concentrate on the fact that in a moment when he can't physically lie he says that he loves her and that he finds her beautiful. Also that even if he thinks she has many flaws she is doing great and that he wants to go home with her
I understand the desire to ask all the questions you can but it’s a total violation of privacy and shows a lack of respect for him. It’s functionally the same thing as reading his mind without his permission.
I can understand why her feelings are hurt, but I can't think of anyone who *doesn't* feel some kind of way like this about their spouse or loved ones. Anyone who says they love *EVERYTHING* about someone is probably lying, doesn't really know the person, or they are dating in the "puppy love" stage 😂
The funny thing about having a puppy is that you could go to the grocery with cuts and bruises and bandages scattered about you and as soon as someone asks what happened all you have to do is say you got a puppy and that he is 2 months old now. ANYONE who has had a puppy for at least 3 months would immediately understand.

The guy has no mouth filter and is somewhat brain-damaged, why are you keeping your daughter there while the guy has no self-control over what he says??" It's like these patients' families WANT to ruin their family life!
It ain’t that. I definitely don’t agree but I get why see was asking questions because you should expect your spouse to always be honest. However bringing the kid there brings NO good out comes.
@@dizzydean2767 That's still essentially taking advantage of someone who is sick and incapacitated for the sake of satisfying some selfish urge to interrogate her spouse while he's vulnerable. Worse, the fact he has no mouth filter means she's setting herself and him up for needless arguments that wouldn't have happened normally.
He was one of my fave patients, I'm not sick w what he has here (I think), but I've always gotten in trouble w my honesty way more than lying. I do not go out of my way to offend or hurt people's feelings. But I end up doing so anyway. Also, even if it was under these circumstances, I'd be happy to have the assurance that someone really does love me.

@therookiegamer2727 Cameron said it to Thirteen once. In truth, it's not faster but House just wouldn't let go so no use of avoiding his intrusive questions.
@@just_maha it is marginally faster cause House won't have to ask multiple times.

As he said she is below avg😂😂😂 u should expect things like that from her.
I think it's cool how immediate he said "Yes" when she asked if he loved her. As perfect as many of us would like to think relationships should be, I'm willing to bet even the best couples have had doubts and reluctances. The fact that he immediately said he loved her, despite his illness and potential doubts in the past, should tell her a lot.
If everyone was this open about their thoughts then humans would not be a social species.
It's really stupid for you to ask someone such personal and harsh questions knowing they will give you the most blunt answer possible and they can't help it, because everyone has flaws on the inside.
But hey it generates some drama so let's get this guys loved ones to know what he really thinks about them!
Why the need to overthink this like that?
@@asad9934 I dunno I'm just a little annoyed at the guys wife I guess xd
@@asad9934 If a TV-show makes you think and speculate beyond the premise it set up, then it did a good job entertaining you. It means you thoroughly enjoyed what you watched and want to think about it some more and speculate about its ramifications even further.
TV isn't always just entertainment you watch to pass the time and then forget about as soon as it's done. Sometimes, it sticks in your head and your thoughts take you places that make you think about it more. It's how imagination works. Let him have it. It's a gift, not a curse.

@@asad9934 There is no extreme political doctrine, no crime against humanity, that I am more opposed to than the question "why the need to overthink it bro?" The answer is:
Because it's *FUN*
If i was this patient I would deadass ask them to tape my mouth shut 😭 Do not allow me to speak
Or keep her out of his room for procedure or something.
He’s saying what we’re all thinking about Cuddy and 13 lol
Dude wha-
13, yes.
But Cuddy looks like Professor Snape with a perm :(
Women 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I wouldn't have necessarily gone with "pistons in a Ferrari," myself.
@@sheep4521 damnit, now I can't unsee that, with Cuddy, lol!
The title is somewhat misleading. It's not like he has something that prohibits him from lying. He has something that makes his brain unable to differentiate between thoughts and speech, thus forcing him to just blab out whatever he may be thinking at the time freely and openly without any filters at all.
It turned out that he'd been cryogenically frozen for thirty years and no longer had an inner monologue.
@@chubbrubb72 ...I hope I didn't say that out loud just now!
...which in practice means that whatever he "just blabs out" is what he genuinely thinks within the moment and by definition is therefore not a lie. No?
@@rhonafenwick5643 But just because you think something, especially something largely subjective, doesn't automatically mean that it's true or ought to be true. We all have thoughts sometimes that we know shouldn't or won't come true because we understand that they may become embarrassing or insulting if uttered in front of others.
When he says he'd do Cuddy with fudge and cherry, we all understand that he doesn't mean that seriously or literally, but that it's just an exaggerated metaphor that first shot through his mind and that no sane human being would openly speak these words out loud. But it isn't like he's under the influence of some powerful truth serum all the time, forcing him to always tell what he believes to be true when asked a question. He has a frontal lobe disfunction that makes him unable to keep his own personal thoughts to himself.
@@georges617 Personal truth exists.
Thirteen seemed to enjoy the bit in the MRI room. Not sure if it was the guy's comments or House hiding, but she was grinning from ear-to-ear.
She started "laughing" when House showed himself.
May be a bit of both...I don't know how many takes it took to keep this scene, but couldn't have been less than 5.
No one can convince me that Cuddy didn't *at least* smirk a bit, ever so slightly, after she left the room.
Actually I think Olivia Wilde broke character and they just decided "nah that tracks for 13 leave it in." Because the best shot you see of it is when she turns her head back to the camera and the shot lingers just a biiiiiit too long. They could have cut it but they didn't.
Foreman was laughing too.
I think there's a difference between "Always saying the truth" and "Always saying what's on your mind"
Your personal truth is still telling the truth without filters. Therefore, whatever is on your mind, is probably also your personal truth. Both he can not control to not speak out.
Yeah exactly. It annoyed me how those two concepts were just conflated in this episode.
@@christophsiebert1213 Anyone with OCD will tell you that is just not true. Your personal truth is what you have chosen to believe in, but your thoughts are just generated from external stimuli triggering mental associations
No, your personal truth is not your thoughts without filters lol. People have intrusive thoughts that mean nothing all the time. When a kid in a tantrum screams “I hate you!” And “I wish you were dead!” At their parents, they’re speaking those thoughts. They don’t actually mean any of it, it’s not true, not even in the moment. If their parents actually dropped dead that second, they’d be terrified and upset. Your uninhibited thoughts can be *lies*, including lies you tell yourself.
5:27 As a teacher in training I've thought a lot about what he says here. While I believe every student has their own exceptionalities, has the potential to thrive, and will do best with adaptations for their individual needs and learning style, I'm skeptical of how many kids these days are simultaneously "gifted and talented" and "special needs" or have a learning disability. Every parent wants to believe that their kid is the smartest, highest potential, most exceptional. And when they aren't, they grasp at anything to have it be that the kid has special needs, not that they are simply average or below-average. While this is well-meaning, I believe this does a lot of harm to kids. Puts a lot of pressure on them to be "exceptional," makes the kid feel like they aren't good enough, that their parents won't accept them as who they are. Deprives them of a childhood even, the opportunity to just be a kid.
Daydreaming and auditory processing problems are indicative of inattentive ADHD. We have trouble keeping friends, trouble sleeping, we're chronically forgetful, and we often develop self-esteem problems because we grow up believing we're stupid or lazy because that's what we're told.
For those of us who do eventually identify it for the disorder it is, it takes medication to treat the disorder and years of therapy to unfuck us from not being taken seriously.
The girl doesn't need to be told she's stupid or lazy. She needs help.
@@anonymone453 You are absolutely right! The girl does not need to be told she is stupid... but the parents might want to keep it as one of the possible reasons, instead of blindly staring at the awesome "our kid just has blablablablaba syndrome and otherwise would be top student" ... Denial is just as bad as lying.
This is why I believe in standardized testing. If education is about building a skill set starting with basic concepts that lead into more advanced concepts it's important to be certain that the basic building blocks have been mastered before introducing more advanced lessons but we insist on grouping by age rather than having an objective metric to determine if the student has mastered the basic and is ready to progress. The purpose of education is the result and we should not focus on the amount of time it takes to get there. Some will progress quickly others will be slower but the goal is to build a skill set that will allow them to function as an adult.
@@anonymone453 I had severe ADHD in school. It did not affect my test scores though it affected my ability to pay attention in class and how much I would interrupt teachers. You might be thinking of ADD, that is the same without the hyperactive part. If you had ADHD you would be over attentive not inattentive. Even with ADHD it did not affect my test scores at all I still had high test scores but it was hard to focus to do homework or classwork.
@@anonymone453 When all you have is a hammer every problem's a nail, right? The kid clearly has no issues listening or paying attention. He heard her father just fine.
Not everything is ADHD. Some people just aren't very quick on the uptake
The pistons in a Ferrari was a good one 😂
I love how House puts his cane in a sort of defensive mode like saying "you can't hit me".
The man is sick, but the wife is being so selfish. She should know by now that he doesn't mean anything he says. It's the brain issue that keeps him from speaking and thinking properly. She is not doing anything to help him feel better. She was just making things worse for both of them with her selfishness.
Except he could stop speaking
@@riveness except he literally cant

@@riveness The inhibition would also cause you to stop talking, instead of just filtering your thoughts. Since that inhibition deactivates all that functionality he cannot stop talking, since that part of the brain is inhibited.
Women
Idk, maybe it would be better for WIFE AND KID not to be present in this case, i mean come on :D
The wife is really in the wrong here. He can't help but be honest and the things he says aren't even that shocking. Still she acts like her world is shattered and she can't trust him, while in reverse she probably would have made much worse statements. Saying things like sometimes I wish I never married or you are not the sharpest are actually things my parents would be honest about without a condition (maybe because we are Dutch). In the end lying only makes things worse and I think is very sweet with telling the truth.
I heard someone say once that your first thought isn't you, it's what your environment and upbringing has taught you to think. It's your second thought that's important. What you chose to put out into the world is just as, and sometimes more, important as what you think.
For example, you can think caring for someone you loves' needs after a long day annoying and tiresome, and it can be, but just because you feel that way doesn't mean you don't love them. You do it anyway. That's what care is - if it was always easy to care about someone, you wouldn't be human
I've heard something almost exactly the same. I think it was phrased, "The first thought that comes into your head isn't what defines you. It's your reaction to that thought that determines your character." That's stayed with me a long time now.
There's this episode of The Simpsons where Homer drives cab back home while drunk, and the cab is part of a TV show to expose people's secrets? I love it because it perfectly represents what happens here.
Homer's first statements is that he loves his wife and family to bits (which, despite his awful behaviors and choices, he confirms across the series multiple times). Then, while still drunk, he admits it's not all roses and that he has frustrations on how he struggles to keep the family afloat and that it sucks out his energy and freedom.
Marge, Bart and Lisa are upset at first (especially when he fumbles the apology), but by the next day take him to a Heavy Metal Summer Camp because they realized that A) Homer sincerely loves them and B) the drunken insults are him just venting while drunk about all the hard work he does and life's struggles tiring him out, but that it doesn't mean his love isn't real or sincere.
Marge, ironically, has more common sense than the wife in this episode.
It occurred to me that it was a pity that Amber Volaskis was already dead because I'd loved to have seen her reaction to the patient's remarks.
I love the philosophy of identity themes put forth by Wilson in the beginning.
Bro this wife is the QUEEN of "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
Her asking questions while he can't lie is disgusting. Taking advantage of a disability.
Disgusting is far, she wasn't in the bestest of mental states either, and she didn't ask any horrible questions,
She was annoying for sure but if my s/o was dying I'd be unstable too,
And a woman wondering if their s/o really loves them as far as I'm aware sounds pretty fitting and normal soo
@@ghetoknight7801 i wouldn't continue asking selfish questions and forcing my loved one to suffer after they asked multiple times for me to stop.... disgusting is a perfect word for it.

Too bad this patient didn't have a customer service job. It would be so funny (and cathartic for me) if all of the sudden he started snarking at a rude customer.
Oh my gawd, you’re right! (I’ve been in customer service most of my life.)
"Oh my god, I hate having to listen to people like you whining about all your problems every day and night as if there is some greater mystery in your life that only ever affects you. Oh, I-I's so sorry, I didn't mean for you to hear how annoying this conversation is and I especially didn't mean to vocalise my thoughts out loud. What's going on? Why is everything I'm thinking coming out?"
As someone who works a customer service job, that guy would be fired in like a day but we would all applaud him as he walked out and we would tell his legend for months to come
You couldnt have shown the interaction between Cuddy and House after Cuddy met the patient? One of the best parts of the episode lol
We can all admit it Harry should have been in Slytherin it would have killed the meaning of the book because all slytherins are evil in JK Rowling's perfect world
You mean to tell me that Harry Potter, a kid as evil as Tommy Riddle and Dumbledore's old squeeze Grindy combined, should have been in Slytherin? The dude that abused the loyalty of his naive minion Gryffindor and his other minion who should have been in Ravenclaw as well as a slew of others to force his way through school and life? The son of the entitled, pompous bully of Snivelus... I mean... Severus? The dude who latched onto the prophecy that should have been about Neville? The guy who tortured Carrow and enjoyed it? Had no remorse over almost killing Draco with Sectumsempra? Assaulted multiple people for his own gain? Bullied Dudley relentlessly when he finally felt he had the upper hand? Used both Imperius and Cruciatus on the same day, because he felt entitled to do it? Actively planned to murder Bellatrix? Allowed multiple people to literally sacrifice their lives to protect his? That Harry? Yeah. Some of his evil did shine through even if JK tried her best to write him as the good guy.

I always felt like the Wife here s a terrible person: She brings their daughter around a husband who can't control a SINGLE thought regardless of how humans filter their raw thoughts, then asks him questions she knows will hurt him right after he gets out of surgery. I can guarantee if she was in the same boat, she would have unsavory things to say too.
Wife has a deep-seated problem that has nothing to do with him.
as this episode aged it has inadvertently become commentary on the idea of thought crimes
Why was cuddy shocked about this guy's apparent douchiness if she sent up his file?
Cameron sent it
Cameron sent it.
Cameron sent it.
It really is infuriating to see how the wife and daughter stay around, especially after the first 3 incidents where he was shown to say hurtful things, knowing that will happen again and yet don't leave until its too late. Jeez I have to remind myself this is just a show for entertainment..
He says yes when she asks if he even loves her and she doesnt let him finish why. She really isnt the sharpest tool in the shed like he said, she just baited him to say all the negative things about her and didnt wanna hear any of the reasons why he loves her in spite of it.

But his observations about Cutty and 13 were right on.
7:40 shows why i think Kutner was one of the only people who was on the same level as House thinking wise.
He knows that House understood what he meant, and just played along!
What I don't like about this episode is, just because he could say and think of the worst thing at the moment that doesn't mean he has to be thinking the worst thing ever single time
Like when they talk about his daughter's disability, why would he be thinking the worst thing about her? The syndrome is about saying what you're thinking, not thinking the worst option
This dude read my thoughts, whenever i see Cuddy, and 13 😂.. 🙄 ❤
ok this family is dysfunctional but not for the reason they think
1) the father refuses to think his daughter has a problem. may be or may be not but if there is a doubt you have to check it, not ignore it
2) the father equates intelligence and school results. At least he doesn't equates them to success in life but it's still a stupid thing. A very intelligent person will do well in school on things that need not be studied. If they require effort that has nothing to do with iq but with being determined or lazy.
3) the wife concentrates on the fact that her husband doesn't think she is perfect when she should actually concentrate on the fact that in a moment when he can't physically lie he says that he loves her and that he finds her beautiful. Also that even if he thinks she has many flaws she is doing great and that he wants to go home with her
0:52 - Kutner, gone too soon
Man... I'd be like, "think you can give me a shot to paralyze my vocal cords for a while.?"

The funny thing about having a puppy is that you could go to the grocery with cuts and bruises and bandages scattered about you and as soon as someone asks what happened all you have to do is say you got a puppy and that he is 2 months old now. ANYONE who has had a puppy for at least 3 months would immediately understand.

It's like these patients' families WANT to ruin their family life!

That's still essentially taking advantage of someone who is sick and incapacitated for the sake of satisfying some selfish urge to interrogate her spouse while he's vulnerable.
