@@theelephantintheroom69 And House's Vicodin habit, and Sherlock's infamous '10% solution' (he did coke when he was bored out of his gourd between cases, for the "mental stimulation").
I just realized how significant to the story is House crawling to find this lady: you can easily justify going to crazy lengths to save people in a hospital as medical curiosity and liking of challenges rather than empathy and desire to protect human lives. You'll have a much harder time justifying litterally crawling, with a bad leg, inside a collapsed building as medical curiosity.
My belief is that house always cared about people. It may not have been his primary reason to be a doctor, but he cares and he hates that he cares. Everytime he is called out on his rare "caring" nature he deflects or tries to change the subject which he only does when when someone be doesn't to admit his answers are wrong.
Love how at first he reaches for his wallet to properly use a vending machine, then realizes “Oh yeah! Everything is fucked!” and smashes it for a drink lmao 🤣
About like a certain scene in Jurassic Park III when they reach the dilapidated PROGEN facility. "I got a buck-ten." Shortly before seeing 1 of the others just break the glass in another old vending machine.
Crawling into that hole was unbelievably dangerous. Combine that with the fact that the first thing he did was to ask her name and he was clearly desperate to save someone from dying trapped underground.

Detained by his own brilliance. Being able to triage the first guy just by looking at him proved to Cuddy how invaluable he is in a mass casualty crisis. His team can't do that.

I cannot imagine what it must be like for rescuers in this type of scenario, to actually hear someone tapping underneath rubble to call for help. It must be so eerie
the trapped leg thing happened to a woman during the oklahoma city bombing and the EMT said he still has nightmares about her screams,she doesn't remember a thing because of the extreme shock of having a leg cut off with no sedation/pain meds
I wouldn't say eerie. There is a different kind of stress that is hard to describe trying to figure out how to get to someone and get them out. Even if you can move the rubble it might collapse but time is of the essence because limited air filled with dust and smoke. That is before worrying about UXOs. (wouldn't have to worry about that in a non warzone) But there is adrenaline and you senses are so heightened that trying to pinpoint a sound that you know you just heard through a pile of concrete and steel and who knows how deep under that ruble in the ground as well. Mind starts questioning itself about how sure you are that that was the right direction.
In general first responders have the most daunting tasks. Recently i heard that the hardest part about these types of things (and its the worst in shootings) You hear loved ones calling and exploding the phones of the dead. Depending on event and circumstance its much much worse. Its just ringing from people who will never reach their loved ones. I honestly have no problem with death and gore, but that would personally be too much for me
I find it eerie when I walk into a grocery store, with it being full of bits of dead bodies and excretions from dead or alive bodies, and everyone finding that normal, and acting as if nothing is wrong.
@@oddvegan9797 Nothing is wrong. It is food. If anything is wrong it is with your brain mate. Humans have a natural instinct to not think of humans as a food source. We also have thing where we humanize things we bond with (ie talking to pets like they are people or seeing a false perspective that they are sentient). Maybe the part of your brain that tries to humanize furry animals is over active and you have mentally programmed yourself that eating animals is murder and that is why you feel bad when eating animals. Animals can possibly be intelligent but they are not sentient. It does not matter if an animal can solve a complex puzzle, that is part of their animal brain figuring stuff out, it is a natural process for survival. But if you find a way to hook a device up to an animal's brain and get them to use higher brain function to think anything other than "I'm hot, I'm cold, I need water, how to get his food from box?" In order to be considered sentient an animal needs to wonder "what am I? What is everyone else? Does this being feel or think the same as I do? Every person on this planet as a child wonders at some point if other people think like them or are they just there. At the point that they question this it means that their higher brain functions are kicking in and they have achieved sentience. This is why children are really nothing more than animals and can be really horrible to each other, they take a bit to become sentient. The problem is when they develop late after they should have formed certain pathways that control empathy. that is where we get sociopaths from, even worse is if they have already performed acts like violence and then can potentially become psychopaths.
The consultant on the show really dropped the ball on what EMS and fire do on scenes like this. An Interosseus line into the tibia is a very common thing in EMS and have been for a very long time. Also, doctors are rarely ever on scene, much less are they allowed to just randomly wander around an unstable location.
In nearly any sort of natural, manmade, or military / terrorist disaster, an underground parking structure is one of the safest places to be. Anything that could destroy an undeground parking structure would do even more damage to whatever's above it.
I heard something along those lines when I was 15, I had Meningitis there was an outbreak in my school & a number of students had already died & I was pretty much dead if it wasn't for my doctor who got me to the hospital & I had to be put into a coma for 3 days due to swelling in my brain
House is one of the greatest drama characters, because such an otherwise heavy-handed show is perfectly balanced by his outlandishly sardonic demeanor. But he's not an a-hole for the sake of it. You slowly uncover the reasons for his apathetic, deadpan nature. It takes really f-d up stuff to expose his compassionate side; stuff most of us simply wouldn't have the integrity to face.
I think his detachment from patient well-being let's him better help them. Of course he still cares, but he knows being emotional doesn't help his patients or him. It also take a lot of toughness to leave someone in the dark, even if it's better for them.
This episode is one of my favorites, the raw emotion house gave off when he opened up to the girl trapped in the garage made me ball my eyes out how he convinced her to let him cut off her leg. Then at the end how frustrated he got in front of Forman was incredible. Amazing show
This is consistent, accurate characterization. A guy who rides a motorcycle isn't going to blink at taking risks without telling anyone where he's going. Source: I ride.
I gotta admit, this episode and the one with Wilson's GF and the bus, hurt me so much, I was on mushrooms watching the series and these two episodes accidentally were on and I'm haunted and afraid to meet someone perfect at their job. Knowing very well they're among the loneliest and most frustrated people in the world.
This is one of the most tense, scary and saddest episodes in the show. House crawling in and out under the collapsed blocks is terrifyingly claustrophobic.
A fictional character can be a sociopath if they're written to be one... I agree that House is not one, but the last part of your comment makes no sense whatsoever
@@prov0cative69 That's my point. I got worked up about a FICTIONAL character lol. meanwhile my gf who WAS diagnosed as a sociopath only after slicing my throat on my birthday, it bugs me that people don't understand what a sociopath is yet label characters as one

One of my fav episodes (you can't go wrong with Greg Yaitanes) but just wanted to mention that the moment that really got me was the ending: Cuddy knew and tried; and House tried. And, I don't know, maybe I'm a romantic.
@@raymondacbot4007 Thank you, remember to thank firefighters as well, they are the ones to get people out of the wreckage and to the EMTs. Being a 5ft skin and bones girl I could never do what they do. One of the scariest parts of this scenario (on top of what's already devastating about it) is that I am too small to lift/ carry these people (I do make up for it being extremely competent provider and have extreme empathy) I wouldn't be able to move most people easily which moving patients would be the biggest game changer in a mass casualty.
Its a thankless job I have seen paramedics get attacked by either outraged family members, or angry drivers or even as recent as last month I was taken into hospital due to coughing blood, Whilst in the waiting room this teenager was brought in wearing handcuffs escorted by police, he insists he needs to be seen first as "the cop broke his wrist" (He hadn't) a paramedic went over to try & calm this moron down & he attacked her, pushing her to the floor & headbutting her on the way down before police intervened & he was the one crying in the end, the paramedic had a busted nose & lip & this scumbag was the one crying in a heap after his outburst
@@Stuart267 That sounds right. I've dealt with delinquents (theirs's a school specifically for delinquent/ troubled teens in my area). If they behave well enough in the ambulance (sounds like this one would not have) I give them a pen light and say you can give me a check up and look in my eyes. Tends to calm them down and gives them a "task" plus a button to abusively push. Works often for me.
EMTs can/will, depending on your state's regulations. For example: California has relatively restrictive SOP for EMS, in Colorado it's very permissive (was taught how to do IVs, but not how to do intraosseous access- just how to support a paramedic who might be doing that). No clue what the regulations are in New Jersey (where the show is set).
Honestly maybe the most heartbreaking and human house episode. From everyone. Foreman and the rest of the team coulda held it against house for everything that he ever rubbed in their face. Also whats funny is house literally only suffered, because cuddy forced him to stay. Thus setting the other half of houses series of events in motion
You can see his need to get an answer to a question at work here. He's about to turn around in the rubble, but he can't go back without a definitive answer. Some of it might be concern, but he's addicted to the puzzle.
6:28 lol, the sounds he make... i forgot about that. But, House being scared shows he still got human feelings that can be shown, after the heroic one to save lives.
I've always notice how care they took lighting the (soon-to-be) romantic couple at the collapse site - both of them look beautiful through the entire accident sequence.
@@kerduslegend2644 SPOILERS the woman's leg is trapped underneath a boulder and that's why they can not get her out. In order to get her free, they have to cut her leg off, but she doesn't want that. There are a lot of parallels between her and House, who refused to amputate his leg and now lives in pain. House, at first, backs her up but in the end he tells her to amputate her leg. House himself sees that the pain and drug addiction has made his life miserable. He tells her that she can get protheatic and live a good life and not end up like him. House performs the procedure and cuts her leg off. They get her out but she dies unexpectedly from a complication
That unnecessary horror scene had me waiting for a jump-scare from the start. I knew it was coming, but I still visibly shuddered when she grabbed his cane. Anxiety does what anxiety does I guess.
Quick Tip. If you ever in situation like this and our trapped under ruble know in intervals of 3. The rescue crew is more likely to notice the sound because it is different
This episode completely reinforces houses philosophy and reasons for keeping his distance from patients and doing everything necessary to save them, even against what’s legal or moral. In this episode he gets to know a patient and has a connection with her, and because of that he doesn’t cut of her leg until it’s too late. Had house not made a connection with this woman he likely would have immediately advised his team to cut off the leg and would have saved her. Yes they “maybe” could have saved the keg but the risk is just not worth it. It’s only because of the personal connection to her he formed that he waits as long as he does. He completely went against his own philosophy in this episode and patient died.
Can anyone name another actor who would of pulled this role off as good as Hugh Laurie. I’m British and obviously biased. I like comparing this to Bryan Cranston’s performance in Breaking Bad. Both comedy actors then both deliver the performance of a life time. Sir Anthony Hopkins described Bryan’s acting in BB as the best he had ever seen. Vince Gilligan called him a genius. Deran Sarafian and Greg Yaitanes said Hugh Laurie have a performance no other actor would be able to do
One of my favourites and again Admin again you had done it. I was wondering how Hannah named lady changed House's life in the afternoon and see what you did.
What really got me was the dust blowing up around the victim's face. It made me see cancer in her future (if she'd had one) as well as House's. The 9/11 rescue workers showed us what that stuff will do to you.
I wouldn't crawl into that to save my own life, you have to admire House crawling in there just for the suspicion that someone might still be recovered alive down there.
Pretty tragic this episode, House went to great lengths to save this woman, even an emergency unsanitary surgery to release her, only for an inevitable death
Well, as to House saying one guy is dead at the start, here's a story. My dad had a car accident and the first responders put him aside saying he was dead. Then... another doctor said, he was still alive, but in very critical condition. He was right. And just under 8 years later, I was born his son. It wasn't until decades later when I saw an X-Ray of my dad's head I fully understood his injuries. My dad had lost a complete half of his brain in that accident. And all through this time, he never, ever, appeared to me as being crippled or in need of any help, ever.
Right? I used one last month and the trauma center took them out of it after x-rays. I walked out carrying it and everyone in the ambulance bay was staring at me bc none of them had seen a KED used since the mid 2000's.
As attractive as Hugh Laurie is, House has rarely been sexier than when he crawls into a collapsing pocket of rubble to save a life without any proof anyone is there. Like when he threw his cane to rush to save a baby from his mother while she was suffering from medical psychosis. He really cares.
I am still yet to watch house. My all time favourite Med shows are The night shift, Greys anatomy and Chicago Med. I really think this show can be up there with my favourites
house simply has a tendency to be joking and sarcastic in stressful situations. as much he loves messing with people he genuinely loves saving people at the end of the day
He reminds me a lot of Sherlock Holmes (the original from the books); he just wasn't happy unless he had a challenge.

House cares more about others life more than his own. His life is miserable and he doesn't think he deserve the life he has.
No, but it does feed into his need to be right. Every indication that he should be wrong, but based on one thing he thinks he is correct.

the woman's leg is trapped underneath a boulder and that's why they can not get her out. In order to get her free, they have to cut her leg off, but she doesn't want that.
There are a lot of parallels between her and House, who refused to amputate his leg and now lives in pain.
House, at first, backs her up but in the end he tells her to amputate her leg. House himself sees that the pain and drug addiction has made his life miserable. He tells her that she can get protheatic and live a good life and not end up like him.
House performs the procedure and cuts her leg off.
They get her out but she dies unexpectedly from a complication
The way cuddly looks at him when the fireman leave cuz she knows he’s always right
House: What is your name?
Girl: I have a boyfriend…
literally dying too haha
This is the only episode of that season I cannot re-watch!
Is it the one where the patient has to have her leg cut without anesthesia to get out of the rubble?
@@MDMAx yes and she dies at end anyway, that made me feel really sick ☹️
Same here
That unnecessary horror scene had me waiting for a jump-scare from the start. I knew it was coming, but I still visibly shuddered when she grabbed his cane. Anxiety does what anxiety does I guess.
I have never been so anxious for a season finale ever. The intro showing the destruction raised my heart rate made me panic.
I love this episode, but I hate, I HATE the medical outcomes here.
That guy that Cuddy was talking to at the start didn't just not last until morning, he was dead by 2:19
Quick Tip.
If you ever in situation like this and our trapped under ruble know in intervals of 3. The rescue crew is more likely to notice the sound because it is different
This is by far my favorite House MD episode
This episode completely reinforces houses philosophy and reasons for keeping his distance from patients and doing everything necessary to save them, even against what’s legal or moral. In this episode he gets to know a patient and has a connection with her, and because of that he doesn’t cut of her leg until it’s too late. Had house not made a connection with this woman he likely would have immediately advised his team to cut off the leg and would have saved her. Yes they “maybe” could have saved the keg but the risk is just not worth it. It’s only because of the personal connection to her he formed that he waits as long as he does. He completely went against his own philosophy in this episode and patient died.
Can anyone name another actor who would of pulled this role off as good as Hugh Laurie. I’m British and obviously biased. I like comparing this to Bryan Cranston’s performance in Breaking Bad. Both comedy actors then both deliver the performance of a life time. Sir Anthony Hopkins described Bryan’s acting in BB as the best he had ever seen. Vince Gilligan called him a genius. Deran Sarafian and Greg Yaitanes said Hugh Laurie have a performance no other actor would be able to do
“You know that giant construction crane next door? It’s kind of on top of you right now.”
Crazy how some of the best episodes are the ones not in the hospital
His character was awesome
Sarcastic wit that shielded a genius with a heart of gold
One of my favourites and again Admin again you had done it. I was wondering how Hannah named lady changed House's life in the afternoon and see what you did.
Get the IV into her tibia? Okay, no longer an IV. Now an IO. Also, the “EMT” is a paramedic and they definitely learn IOs in medic school
thats funny because emts arent paramedics
"How's he gonna sleep with 50 cups of coffee going through his veins?"
"Were you never a medical resident?"
... okay fair point.
He was a caffeine virgin though
What really got me was the dust blowing up around the victim's face. It made me see cancer in her future (if she'd had one) as well as House's. The 9/11 rescue workers showed us what that stuff will do to you.
To be fair, that isn't an EMT's job, he would prep her while the paramedic did the IV.
Top 5 Episode. Even just by a unique setting.
Gracias a este episodio jamas se me olvidara una de las peores complicaciones de una fractura de hueso largo, embolia grasa
Captain Casey: we're Chicago FD, station 51, got sent here as backup. I'm captain Casey. I'm in charge of my crew.
House: Chase?? You tripping...??!?!
Terrible Terrible title for a very interesting encapsulating video from one the most absorbing episodes of the whole series
What’s the reason for the title
The way this is edited, I thought he was chatting about the other patient before he even bothered to tell anyone about the trapped woman!
Breaking the vending machine 😂
I wouldn't crawl into that to save my own life, you have to admire House crawling in there just for the suspicion that someone might still be recovered alive down there.
My guy is crawling in there WITH his cane... why? Cuz he's super genius
House: casually wacks vending machine
Other guy: are you ok
House: vending machine collapsed
This is my favourite episode of the show
That episode was so devastating.
Was this that one episode where the building had collapsed? This one was so sad and yet it gives me a real nostalgic feeling!
3:05
Yeah.
Vending machine collapsed.
I wanna do that xD
"Which they obviously don't teach you at EMT school" 😆
I can feel my claustrophobia kicking in...
I don't think any of us seriously thought of searching this up -Doc House tiny waa??? Lmao
The lengths that House will go through to prove hes right
This episode was exceptional.
3:06 I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO SMASH THAT VENDING MACHINE
it was just so sudden it caught me off guard 😂
House went into Omaha beach medic mode at first
between Foreman and House, Cuddy decided that the cripple was a better fit for a rescue mission.
I like how he stole from the vending machine when nobody cares 😂
When a _House M.D._ video title takes a funny but _completely_ non-sequitur line as click-bait... **golf clap**
This scene triggered my claustrophobia
Am I the only one thinking House is the person you really want for a triage situation, where choices have to be made...?
Remind me to never go in a building that’s still under construction. .
Pretty tragic this episode, House went to great lengths to save this woman, even an emergency unsanitary surgery to release her, only for an inevitable death
one of the best episodes
YO house M.D, this is episode 21 I believe not 22
Amazon says 22
Because of the 2 part episode at the beginning of the season it's technically 21 but streaming services list it as 22
Well, as to House saying one guy is dead at the start, here's a story.
My dad had a car accident and the first responders put him aside saying he was dead. Then... another doctor said, he was still alive, but in very critical condition. He was right. And just under 8 years later, I was born his son. It wasn't until decades later when I saw an X-Ray of my dad's head I fully understood his injuries. My dad had lost a complete half of his brain in that accident. And all through this time, he never, ever, appeared to me as being crippled or in need of any help, ever.
My favorite episode of house. So powerful
Absolutely crushing episode
Why’d I laugh so loud when he broke the vending machine
Getting under a pile of rubble is probably the dumbest thing House ever did, and that list is enormous.
House was stupid for climbing in there- hed just make another person to rescue if the rubble had shifted
Man I miss this show.
oh my good god they are using a KED for the crane operator
Right? I used one last month and the trauma center took them out of it after x-rays. I walked out carrying it and everyone in the ambulance bay was staring at me bc none of them had seen a KED used since the mid 2000's.
I see the gangs all here!
House must've a hard head cause he's not wearing a helmet!
This is one of the saddest episodes of the series.
As attractive as Hugh Laurie is, House has rarely been sexier than when he crawls into a collapsing pocket of rubble to save a life without any proof anyone is there. Like when he threw his cane to rush to save a baby from his mother while she was suffering from medical psychosis. He really cares.
house would make a badass cop
"Vending machine collapsed" 💀💀💀💀
3:06 My man.
house would jump off of a bridge to prove someone else wrong
I am still yet to watch house. My all time favourite Med shows are The night shift, Greys anatomy and Chicago Med. I really think this show can be up there with my favourites
UGH i should just watch the whole episode
Nope, not in EMT school…. But they do in paramedic school!
Actually, they do teach us that in paramedic school.
When house breaks into a vending machine he's fine, when I do I get arrested, house was right having a cane brings sympathy
Such a sad episode, only to have an amazing ending.
