You've got hand picked doctors, specialists, working for you, and they're sitting on their hands?
You've spent the last two weeks doing absolutely nothing. Concert is over.
I want you to do your job.
But as the philosopher Jagger once said:
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
Hello, sick people, I'm Dr. Gregory House.
This is Vicodin - you can't have any.
And no, I do not have a pain-management problem, I have a pain problem.
But who knows - maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell.
Differential diagnosis, people.
Go!
Treating illness is why we became doctors.
Treating patients is actually what makes most doctors miserable. 12 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,050 Patients are boring, as people.
You can't always get what you want
Everybody lies. The only variable is about what.
Is it still illegal to perform an autopsy on a living person?
Are you high?
Cheers.
The man is in a coma!
He didn't mind.
I asked.
What are you, eight?
Oh, I'm so sorry you're dying, Mrs. Moron.
You're not a very nice doctor, are you?
I'm a people person.
Do I get bonus points if I act like I care?
Personally, I choose to believe that the white light people sometimes see...
they're all just chemical reactions that take place when the brain shuts down.
I find it more comforting to believe that THIS...
isn't simply a test.
If the left brain is the interpreter of reality
and the one that tells us the story of who we are,
then what is your story?
I like being alone.
At least, I convince myself that I'm better off that way.
Suffer alone, we die alone.
Humanity is overrated.
I don't wanna change who I am.
I am broken.
They say you have a gift.
You hide behind your intelligence.
And you make jokes because you're afraid to take anything seriously.
Because if you take things seriously...
they matter.
Everything you've ever done is to avoid pain.
Drugs, sarcasm, keeping everybody at arm's length so no one can hurt you.
Pain happens when you care.
You can't blame yourself for her death. This wasn't your fault.
THAT'S THE POINT!
I did everything right. She died anyway!
Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born,
but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it!
You can live with dignity, you can't die with it.
You're so afraid of being ordinary, of being just another doctor,
just another human being that you risk other people's lives.
Cute kids die of terrible illnesses! Innocent doctors go to jail,
and it's because cowards like you won't stand up and do what's required!
I saved a life. I earned that space.
I earn that space every day I limp into that building and do my damn job!
Dr. House's process is dangerous, inappropriate.
But he is effective.
Why is it always reasonable in 'House-land' to take an emotional problem
and side step it by turning it into a mechanical problem.
House, please just talk to me...
You wanna know how I feel?
I feel hurt.
You have the luxury of not caring about your image, I do not!
I can permit a lot of crap, but an employee
shouting about his sexual exploits with me, no!
You have no relationships, you alienate people.
And you're angry. And I want you...
to actually deal with that and not just try to medicate the issue away.
You've changed, and you're afraid to face yourself!
Of course I've changed!
I don't want to be in pain, I don't want to be... miserable.
Let them cut off your leg!
I can't. I can't. I'm sorry.
You know what I feel right now?
I don't feel miserable or angry. I don't feel good or bad.
I feel...
nothing.
