Doctors Pretend to Kill Patient in order to Diagnose Him | House M.D. | MD TV 

I always love how House has a "dont ask for permission ask for forgiveness" approach but without the forgiveness part lol

One of houses most unethical moments: Killing a patient so that they can't refuse treatment anymore

When chase doesn't leave the room I can tell he's thinking "lol been there done that"

Love this from Chase's character. When House makes a decision to kill him, Chase is the only one who completely stuck with him. I definitely sensed some hesitation, but he decides he's going down with the ship. Then House starts reviving him and he's like, "What are you doing", and freezes, as though being a doctor isn't even an option

I love how Foreman, Cameron, & Chase reacted and how it reflects their characters. Foreman believes it's wrong and walks away, Cameron doesn't necessarily think it's wrong, but can't be apart of it, and Chase thinks it's right and stays with House. Given everything we know about these characters and how the series progresses, it represents them very well.

“Congratulations, you got your answer.” This man understands House.

Towards the end, the fact that the patient said "Congratulations, you got your answer" and smiled was kind of heartwarming. It was as if two researchers were communicating. And completely understood each other in that moment.

"we don't choose our birth, and we don't choose our death." thats powerful. I'm gonna remember that even though i probably should't

i love how foreman was always angsting over whether he was becoming another house, and yet it was chase all along (the fact that when house gives him a Look, he doesnt leave but instead just closes the door)

Such a great episode! I love how House refused to give up. Even though it is unethical what he did.

I absolutely loved this episode. At the end when he said "Congratulations. You solved it," as he embraced the fact that he's going to die, but finally figured out why. It was a brilliant scientist-to-scientist moment.

Love the continuity error at 5:45 when House is about the administer the shot. The syringe has less or more fluid depending on the camera angle.

Great performance of Joel Grey who's surprisingly still alive at 91 years old. For those wondering, the name of the episode is Informed Consent (season 3, episode 3).

The fact Cameron worked with House for so long and was still constantly surprised by his antics annoys me to no end.

and that's why chase became house's successor

"Jello-shots and wild sex" something House would say. I love how House's humor rubs off on his team.

Patient- I want to die... House- First give me the cause..

I wish actual real-life doctors understood the concept of not pushing hard enough during a stress test (which, btw, can be done via epinephrine infusion. that's what I had done. idk what cameron is on about with the whole "that's not protocol" bit, but I rarely ever do). my first electrophysiologist refused to diagnose my congenital Long QT Syndrome because he wouldn't push my heart rate past 150, which would be a dangerously high hr in a healthy person, but we've already established that I'm not healthy. I also have POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, so pushing my heart to 150bpm is just simulating me sitting up in bed. he needed to push me into SVT to see the arrhythmia, which would've put my life in danger, but so does LQTS. I've already had one heart attack, I don't want to have another in order to be taken seriously. yes, the epi infusion could kill me, but the LQTS *will* kill me without diagnosis or treatment. push harder

This is also the moment we knew Chase would become House.

And that's why Chase is House's right successor.

Watching the change in Chases face to the surprise Pikachu meme is the most beautiful thing I've witnessed.😂😂 7:16

Chase replacing House makes more sense when you see scenes like this. This proves that he was House’ protoge all along. The fact he sided with House just proves why he replaced him, the fact Foreman was always ethical and preferred to keep House in check instead of becoming him just proves why he became the Dean of the hospital (replacing Cuddy) and the fact that Cameron was always against House’ subjective point of view (literally the opposite of her) just proves why she left because she just couldn’t be a part of it anymore, and leaving Chase just proved that she didn’t even want to be connected to someone who was.

This series is One of my favorites!! Cameron has such a strong heart, it's my favorite thing about her!!

"You're hurting him!" "YOU'RE HURTING ME" Lesson learned. If you are ever punching someone and someone else pulls you back and says, "yur hurting them," just tell them yur hurting me :>

I love the fact they do not show any Medical Technologists hard at work in the lab and instead show the physicians performing lab procedures. (Sarcasm from an MT)

Honestly was half expecting House to say "I said I'd kill him, never said I'd let him stay dead"

A lot of times when patients are not cooperating or in too much pain to allow tests , they are sedated and procedures are performed ; *with the consent of their family* .

I like this episode bc to me, it was like two different scientists wanting to understand and wanting to know, and yet both not wanting pain again. And I like that. I like that they almost shared a common brain. The patient wanted to at least know, he wanted to understand and he purposely came the House bc he knew he would be the only one that was curious enough with him and was the only one willing enough to.

Chase was ride or die.

Technically, he didn't lie. He promised to help him die. He never promised not to resuscitate him.

House with that wiping his ass line 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like how Chase stayed and was willing to take part in killing the patient. Such little things foreshadow him being House's successor.

Someone messed up on the continuity! The syringe is like 3/4 full at 5:43 but barely full in the shot from behind House. House sneaking some in while were not looking lol

Patient: *dying* House: Lets break the law!

"We don't chose our death", he says while refusing to let doctors touch him and thus choosing his death.

Chase was always the one with the most “House” in him

a lot of people are calling him administering morphine unethical, is this not what hospice nurses do? it is already established that he is dying without treatment, and he's refusing further treatment, and has repeatedly asked for end of life care. this could have all been resolved by a hospice nurse.

So, they almost killed a guy by pretending to kill him, just so they could find out what was going to kill him after all. Only on House lol.

Wasn't this the one where Cameron was going sweet on the old man and later found out he experimented on children to reach his conclusions?

Into Dust was a good song to add at the end of this episode.

The moment we should have known chase would be the new house in the future

I like how he replies "Nothing".

Joel Grey did an amazing job in this episode. I hope he was at least nominated for an Emmy for it.

"Come on, its not gonna kill you." Amazing line right there

The end made me lil teary

Chase was the only one who showed human decency and empathy. House tormented him to get an answer when he already knew there was no point. Foreman just went by the rules, patient's wishes be damned. Cameron was just hoping for fairy dust miracles while closing her eyes to the suffering that was causing.

That is how you get sued for malpractice.

I'm curious what House would have done if Chase didn't stay to help.

'Come on its not gonna kill you' i loves that part

One of the best episodes.

5:31 we see that the syringe is full 5:42 we see at the syringe is still full 5:47 we see at the syringe is half full 5:49 we see that the syringe is full 5:50 the syringe is half-full again

7:42 HIS FACE

Chase.exe has stopped working 😂😂😂

7:42 Bro is flabbergasted.

such a good show

You can see the conflict in House at the end when the patient says “congratulations. You got your answer”. He wants to feel happy because he solved his puzzle. But seeing a patient die cuts too deep

5:40 This drove me nuts and I noticed it the first time I watched the show. Watch the levels of the syringe in between the different shots... Drove me nuts.

5:50 The amount of morphine in the syringe changes between shots

House holding a needle of death morphine, id just walk away.

When he said "kill me".... I felt that☹️☹️☹️

Well, the symptoms were treatable but its still a terminal diagnosis. He wanted to die because he didnt want to live with the symptoms. THey can help with the symptoms but they cant save him. Sounds about right for this show. At least the remainder of his time wont cause him endless agony.

4:16 House’s face is hilarious

9:12 "Why should I believe you now?" Its the end of the episode, duh.

Joel Grey was fantastic in this.

I love how Dr Powell respects House enough to know he is notorious for willing to kill his patients should they wanted him to. But what he doesn't know is that House likes solving puzzles, and that he would get an answer for every patient that comes his way.

I love this patient. He comes back, and rather than raging against House's actions, he sees the value in what was done and offers an encouraging, and honest word. He doesnt thank House. He just says. Congrats.

7:55 Oooh! Pathology bad boy time.

Notwithstanding Dr. House’s signature brand of medical sociopathy, this clip- and the episode it comes from- does a good job of demonstrating the tenuous balance that medicine in the real world strikes between two equally important ethical ideals: beneficence and non-malfeasance. To put it succinctly, beneficence is the act of doing good for someone, which is (hopefully) the goal when a patient visits the doctor. Non-malfeasance is the goal of avoiding hurting someone, which is (hopefully) a life goal in general. The problem is there are very few things in medicine that heal without at least the possibility of hurting as well. X-rays are a good example. Cancer doctors need X-rays in order to visualize and treat cancer. It is also a perverse fact that using X-rays in this way also increases the chances of developing cancer in the first place. Despite this downside, the reason we continue to use X-rays is because the good that comes from the former consideration is considerably better than the bad that comes from the latter. That balance between beneficence and non-malfeasance is crucial in deciding not just what to do medically, but how. Even when we need to do bad for a medically good reason- like when Cameron cuts off a piece of the patient’s skin for tests- we need to make sure it does the least amount of bad; that is to say, Cameron should have sterilized the skin to avoid infection and numbed it so as not to inflict pain on the patient. In fact, Cameron fails to act out of non-malfeasance when she cuts off the patient’s skin implicitly to hurt him, after she finds out the patient’s own record of less-than-stellar medical ethics. It goes without saying: this wouldn’t fly in real-world hospital.

As a histotechnologist who has performed a congo red stain, that was amusing. You do a congo red on tissue sections cut at 8-10 microns, and it involves decolorizing with lithium carbonate. You can't do the stain with the slide on the microscope stage. Nobody would do that.

Did anyone else notice the difference in the syringe of morphine when the camera angle changes

The instrumental playing at the end is from Into Dust, by Mazzy Star. For anyone curious at some point!

Imma need Hugh Laurie to step away from Joel Grey IMMEDIATELY. You leave Emcee alone Hugh Laurie

this is the best

Cases like this can sometimes make me question my stance on active euthanasia. I'm against it because it's too hard to make sure that the patient hasn't been persuaded or pushed into it etc.. But if i were in this patients shoes i would absolutely welcome the option of dying on my own terms.

Chases's face

This was a tough episode to watch.

Grandpa - Congratulations! You've got your answer... now... CAN YOU PLEASE KILL ME ALREADY!?!?! ****Palpatine style****

I miss the first few seasons of house where it was just the original crew

The momen every medic in fps comes to, if you die and I revive you you will get back with more health than before

what does he mean by "thats why he doesnt need to wear knee socks"

He clearly needed more rat bites

one of the top 5 episodes for me!

Jordan Peterson gets more dramatic every time

We don’t choose our birth, BUT WE CAN CHOOSE OUR DEATH.

This guys gives "No! I'm with the science team!" vibes

What a let down.

That song at the very end is Into Dust by Mazzy Star

I like this ! seriously get me a robot instead of bs hospital protocols and ethics

"if anyone touches me ill press charges" xDD and how youdo that DEAD?? "let me die"

This is kinda funny because now where I live (Canada) you can do this legally if you just apply to a medical board and have 3 doctors sign off on it. It's called medical assistance in dying. (MAID)

5:41 and 5:48 have two different fluid levels

“ Jell-O shots and wild sex” 😂😂😂

Why can't Dr's just understand.

"I can't be a part of this" has such an opposite meaning to "I can't be apart of this". So, which was said?

Wasnt this patient also in Grey's Anatomy as Izzie's former teacher who they thought had dementia but it was just a build of fluid in the brain?

House: What have you been doing all night? Cameron: Jello shots and wild sex, what else?

Ol' Joe really is old ! And still a great actor.

I feel like something's missing here. Hmmm ..

I’ll take the Buttload of morphine 😂

did dr mike make a video about this already?
