House Asks For A Heart Transplant | House M.D. 

I like how Cameron is just running around looking for dead patients to scavenge from 😂

“Take it out on me, not her” Ten seconds later “UGH”

he was rude, he was sarcastic, he was insulting, none of that stopped him making very valid points

"Gail here, on the other hand..." "Amy?" "Whatever."

My dad had a heart transplant about 6 years ago . He's 70 now . This one kinda hit home for me

You know when House puts on his lab coat he’s about to put on a serious act!

My mother’s heart was devastated by a massive heart attack and needed a transplant. Basically was running at 20 percent capacity or less. Unsustainable. We were so lucky that we had a perfect match, and the hospital was willing to give her the heart at age 57. She’s doing great now. Should easily live another 25-30 years with her lifestyle.

This episode did illustrate a very valid point that many perfectly _serviceable_ organs are simply thrown in the trash because they're not 100% _perfectly_ healthy. Sure, keep the perfect organs for younger, otherwise healthy people who would get the most use out of them, but "second class" organs could still be used for other patients who might only have a few years left, for whatever reason. Hell, if you give a heart from a fat woman to an elderly man who is otherwise in good health and lives a healthy lifestyle, like in this episode, the heart could become more healthy inside him and give him even longer than predicted. (Edit:) so many people only responding to the basic idea without thinking about it. I shouldn't have had to point out that, obviously, a complete medical and legal infrastructure would have to be built around the practice, to protect both patients and doctors. I wasn't advocating for hospitals to just start going about it on spur of the moment inspiration like House did.

I wonder how many medical licenses have been revoked from Dr. House

That guy, the husband of the dead woman.. he is one of the best actors that has appeared on this show

"She's my wife" - "not anymore" _Till death do us apart_

"Gale here on the other hand." "Amy." "Whatever." Ha ha, I love it when they do scenes like this. Really breaks the tension.

House was really good when he was on your side. I loved how he fought for his patient, He said to Cameron the board was right but still his patient for him was first.

"She's my wife" "Not anymore" Ouch😂

"It's a marriage made in heaven!" Wow, that's really poorly worded on multiple levels.

It's so strange to see House literally go out of his way to guilt trip an organ donor committee, get a heart that's been rejected and get punched in the gut just for an elderly patient. His words say one thing,his actions say another

Guy: your dad can.... have her heart. House: (grunts) thank you. Guy: I’m doing it for her. Not for you. House: no. I meant thank you for helping me forget the pain I have in my leg.

"How old are u Dr. ? When do we get to toss u in an ice flow??" Burst a laugh !!

This is one of those scenes that just proves that House is a good person. He pretends he doesn't care, he acts like he's indifferent to people's suffering, but in the end he does everything to try and save his patient. He let himself get punched in like a few other episodes, kicked in the groin in this one, just because he fights to get what he wants. Doesn't matter how he gets it, he willingly does it to save his patients. He pretends he doesn't care when they die but the truth is he does, he just doesn't know how to show his emotions.

I was raised by my Grandparents..this hit major soft spots for me. The elderly deserve care and hope like anyone else. I’m glad House fought for a heart for Amy’s Grandfather.

She literally looks 12 and was probably around 30 during this

What i love about this episode is house had already solved his puzzle, yet he still fought to save the man’s life

"How old are *you,* Doctor? When do we get to toss you on an ice floe?" Is one of my favorite all-time House lines. It's just so...House. It's manipulative, it's not entirely fair, even, but it cuts right to the heart of the matter (no pun intended) .

1:49 This actually made me start crying, my grandfather raised me and in my eyes he was a superman and when I got to be bigger than him and he started to get older I started watching him, everywhere he went i was with him always behind him (the family called me his shadow lol). Well he started to have heart problems around 2017, he was 78 and had done hard labor his entire life (he still worked at the family business with us) and the doctors wanted to do surgery, he put off the surgery until my graduation that same year and when i finally graduated he went under the knife. The surgery went smoothly and he was awake and talking a week later so they released him about a month later, but he had some infection issues, and had to go back in for another 2 months to get cleared up but after he got out we learned he was suffering from congestive heart failure and the doctor gave him at most 3-4 years before his heart gave out, it was hard but I accepted it and we were good for about 9 months. Then july 2018 hit, my grandfather had started to slow down had swelling in his legs, always lethargic he would wake me up at different times in the night and ask me to watch tv with him and we had no problems but one night he told me he was scared of dying and that he didnt want to go, I was never good at these kinds of conversation and i just reassured him he wasnt dying anytime soon and everything was gonna be okay, I was wrong, 2 weeks later his doctor came over to visit us for the fourth of july and after looking over my grandfather for a few minutes he took me and my aunts, uncles and grandmother to the back room and he gave my grand father a week at most to live, it killed me I went outside and cried for what seemed like hours before I hardened up and accepted it. The next week was painful the family decided i should stay and take care of him until he passed but in that last week he was out of it he was jumping between time periods, talking to his dead dad about antique chevy's, him mom about tomorrows lunch and near the last couple hours he sat up in his bed and looked at me, the light in his eyes were back and he seemed like he was entirely there for once and asked me what day it was I told him it was saturday , he asked for the time I told him it was 7:54 pm and the last words he said to me were 'Go ahead and get some sleep we have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and you have to mow the lawn" my aunt showed up to takeover for me so i could get some sleep 'ok paw ill see you in the morning, good night I love you" 'I lover you too boy' and then he closed his eyes and laid back down. My aunt took over and she woke me up 3 hours later crying saying he had passed after that I was on autopilot doing the motions, the funeral, the burial, and the return all that time really let it sink in for me that he was gone forever and of course I started crying again all I learned that week is that its a sad day when a superman dies.

"He's 66." "He told me he was 65, liar." "This is his first hospitalisation since he broke his leg when he was 23 or 22 I'm not sure anymore" :P

If you think about it, House's lack of sensitivity made him a great doctor. But.. if you count his acts of saving lives through emotion (like the bulimia patient who needed the heart transplant), he was even a greater doctor.

How can a man care so much about saving peoples lives and still be so indifferent towards everyone?

"How old are you doctor? When do we get to toss you on an Ice flow" Best line!

Should be a transplant list and a alternative transplant list. The alternative for people who have 0 chance and who have been refused a perfect heart. They should be able to sign away the right to sue if complications happen other than gross malpractice of course and get the tossed organs that are not ideal but who still have good potential and are better than nothing.

House is da real mvp for taking that hit.

The scene in the ER is one of the very rare times they’re actually doing chest compressions on someone who’s in cardiac arrest.

Don't worry, he'll just use the power of the dark side and regain his health.

Well, to be fair he did offer

"Take it out on me, not on her" Knees house right in the balls "You can have the heart" Some times that little catharsis goes a long way

It's amazing how you can have such a touching moment that still includes a groin shot.

A member of a medical review panel should review this show to talk about how many times House should have lost his medical license

This shows how much house cares about his patients even though he does not want to show it he will do anything to help them so much respect to him

You know u have a good Doctor when he takes a hit in the crouch so that your dad can have a heart

7:13 Lmao. what made u think he was HER doctor. he literally strolled down the hallway to chat with u outside the room after CPR was already intiated. like hello?

The fat guy's name is Newburger? The writers being a bit direct there.

7:40 And that is the moment he knew that he had been played. Because this guy - who'd only had a few scenes - was a good decent person. And what good decent person could possibly respond to that in any other way? I know its only a show. But most people are good decent people, even if they forget it sometimes.

The way Hugh raises his eyebrows brings back so many memories of Blackadder

I'm so glad Mr. Neuburger accepted the deal House offered him

8:16 is the best moment of the House series, with Chase's punch coming in a close second.

I like the husband of the dead wife, he was a cool character albeit being brief, and was greatly acted. House kinda deserved that

“Gail here...” “Amy” “Whatever.” 😂😂😂

"Take it out on me not her. " Procceds to kick house in the nuts. "Fine , You can have her heart . "

"This is my wife" "Not anymore" *drops mic* *picks up scalpel*

Whatever it takes to save the patient. House is actually a great doctor

whenever Grunberg turns his head to the side, like gives them a side look during conversation, I always think he's trying to read their mind

“If you really cared about me, you’d find me a better corpse” 😅

I lost it when House said “gale here” and she replied “Amy”. 💀💀

"How old are you, doctor?" That's a fatal shot.

I will never get over the fact that this show had the best musical score ever. Every damn time, that piano plays some heart-breaking combination of chords and I feel like I'm gonna cry my eyes out.

This is honestly heart breaking and freaking hilarious at the same time. The feels for the guy who lost a loved one.

What's Shirley doing there ? I swear i recognize someone everytime i watch House.

Wtf she had an organ donor card? What happens to her organs is not her husband's decision.

Some of these clips are amazing! The prison clip was really good and made me watch the episode right away.

How on Christ is she 40 years old and STILL look like she's 18... BRUH WHAT??

This channel is making me want to actually watch this series

8:11 lmao those puppydog eyes.

Man, I love this episode a lot, probably one of my favorite ones.

No matter how obnoxious house is, he does it to save lives. He is such a sweetie

That’s such a difficult situation. Shout out to house for going about it in the worse/most entertaining way possible.

that was the house i liked, he solved the case and wants to make sure the patient is fully healed and goes through most of the episode doing so. slowly went south when he just wanted the answer.. even if it meant they already died midway

"Take it out on me, not her." "OK, here it comes ..."

I can’t with House sarcastic self 😂😂 love him

House balls = woman heart

The title should be renamed "House Asks For Testicle Transplant".

it's heartbreaking watching this part of episodes without the full episodes :D

That's Ellen from Drake and Josh

That girl is gorgeous.

Keri Lynn Pratt is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life.

Well that was a rollercoaster of a video right there

I like how well the dialogue at the beginning summarises the arguments for and against ageism in healthcare. It's a heavily debated topic and it was well utilised here

Ty for uploading. Love this episode

That what scares me about getting old, no one wants to take care of you and they think it’s a waste to save you Because you “lived a full life already”

It's interesting to see how much House can care, while also not caring at the same time

The when do we get to toss you onto an ice flow comment always makes me crack up lmao

I miss House so much. House was wonderful. It really brought some cheer into a paraplegics day.

"You think you can win me over by calling me a racist?" what is this, current year?

This made me the happiest in my House watching history so far.

can probably see the entire series by just watching all the short yt clips by now.

man that girl is so cute

It was that moment that Shirley decided to stop being a nurse and went back to college

Never seen a TV doctor get beat up as much as House, lol

really hope more and more people do the organ donation , my dad had to donate his kidney for my brother.. He is now discouraged after the operation and afraid that he is on only 1 kidney.. this act of kindness will help many lives...

4:10 onwards is "people you will know from other things" city.

This show is just too damn real.

My man House got punched, shot, tripped, he got in a bus accident, trapped in a burning building, all that while withstanding chronic leg pain, the writers didn’t give him a break.

House really made an effort to put on gown to talk to him lmao

His daughter is precious.

House is a good example of the ends justifying the means. The journey is usually dangerous and miserable but the result is, he will advocate for his patient to the bitter end, saving their life in the process.

brilliant episode !

I just imagine house rolling over and grunting mission accomplished

7:36 that expression... he was trying to read her mind

I didn't know that an emergency room has clear doors and family members can just stand there and watch ? I am from Europe so maybe it is normal in the US ?

I really like how this show explores Soo Manny gray areas.

Gail, I mean Amy, is going to remember House more than Mr. Neuberger. Playing the system and getting a beating to save her dad.

House brought up two great ethical points during the first scene. The current organ donation rules allow for discrimination based on age. However, we don't discriminate based on race or gender. Why is ageism a form of acceptable discrimination and racism/sexism are not? If you want to be logically consistent you would have to give women and whites the organs over their counterparts since, on average, they live longer. Update: I re-watched the video and thought about it some more and came to the realization as to why it is more acceptable to discriminate against older patients. The point was brought up by one of the doctors on the board. Older patients have a higher rate of transplant/surgery complications. This adds another dimension to the argument. Now the argument is about longevity and transplant success rate. Based on this criteria, discrimination against older patients makes rational sense. This is one of the rare moments where House's logic is off. I think it's because he just wants to save his own patient.
