The Game is Afoot | House M.D.. 

i- this is wild. i didnt watch the video all the way and went to sleep yesterday, i read this comment and continued watching this right?. the FIRST THING HE SAID WAS "good for you" i have never seen such perfect timing in my entire life.

like, imagine reading "good for you" and starting the video and he says "good for you" im baffled rn.

i only read the first comment, yours. lmaoo

Or perhaps realising his own limitations and being honest with himself.

Being honest with House and himself

parenting his siblings or not he is still a teenager.

​@@poopshitcrapwaste true, but not many of us have it made like others do with the life we've been given. But have start adulthood at very young age, & most of us at an older age because we couldn't catch on when we was younger. Patient here never got a fair chance and that's life 😢

Right. I’d throw up on the floor.

0:40 😂😂

I hate that in movies

It's not that tough actually. It doesn't actually take surgery for bone marrow. Maybe it was still only the old-fashioned way back when this episode aired, but nowadays they can literally filter out what they need from your blood. So no worse than donating blood. But even the old fashioned method it wasn't like removing a kidney. It involved a painful procedure but that's what medication is for.

@@jessicaolson490 With the old way didn’t they have to screw into your bone marrow and take some out and then you get stitched back up again. Then they tested the bone marrow to see if it’s a match? I know when I had double pneumonia they wanted to do it to me and I wouldn’t let them because I had seen it done and there was just no way I was gonna have that done to me. I like the new way a lot better.

@@jessicaolson490you missed the point completely lmao. The tough decision isn’t the bone marrow procedure it’s the burden placed on a kid asking him to raise 2 other kids

He should feel guilty. He's compromising his own health, retraumatizing his siblings and making them lose the last family member they have. If he can't handle the responsibility, he should take the treatment, then relinquish custody after talking to them about it and taking steps to make it easier. He took the coward's way out.

@@thecabbageman1wow you are unbelievably harsh on a fake person lmao. But to play your game, he’s a kid. A kid raising 2 other kids is incredibly stressful and such a huge commitment. He doesn’t want to feel guilty for not being able to support his brother and sister, he doesn’t want to continue being stressed day in and day out for the next 10 years dealing with everything his parents should have dealt with, he wants his brother and sister to be okay and not in a group home or have them get split up, etc. A kid dealing with all these emotions while being sick in the hospital obviously isn’t going to be thinking 100% rationally. Many adults wouldn’t be able to think rationally at first either, which is evident because the boys parents left. The parents were so stressed they abandoned their children. It’s not this kids fault he’s tired. He just needs help and support which forearm offered with rational thinking and solutions to some of the kids problems.

​@@jazzyje5ter223Being fictional isn't the issue. Such situations exist in reality. That's the point.

​@@jazzyje5ter223Their parents died.

He's not a kid.​@@jazzyje5ter223

I totally forgot he was in Almost Famous.

He wouldn't lose the right but the ability, being more and more sick.

Ah children living in bubbles A lot of scary nasty stuff happens in foster homes state run programs tend to be awful

I think he's projecting. His own older brother is a criminal and Foreman resents him for not looking after him or their mother more.

Kind of ironic considering foreman refused to visit his own brother in prison

Foreman has this weird habit of being wrong about every single thing he ever does. Its kinda amazing how, as far as I know, he has never been right lmao

​@Cantbearsed447 i have an omega body shape ... all the boys at school talk about how they want to hold my waist- 😭✋Bruh. U calling me out 😭 I’m. A 6’1 dreadhead with 12 hell cats and 16 mansions

All of them airing on Fox, too.

​@@egonmilanowskithat hadn't occured to me. No wonder they were cool breaking the fourth wall.

The OC was a shoddy rip-off of 90210. Party of Five strived for the earnestness of My So Called Life, and failed. I do remember that era well! 😉

@@slayerduval1 if it failed then why did the stars do so well

Nobody pays hospital bills anymore

I mean, he needed to hear it. Tough realities make people grow

Orphans get money from the government

being fat and healthy doesn’t exist. at age 20-39 you should have 21% fat as a woman (which isn’t considered being fat)

fat is not healthy

No such thing as fat and healthy. The diet she needed in order to survive without pills would make her slightly overweight at worse.

As a Doctor, Foreman probably knows what Foster homes are like. He's gonna visit them, if they even stay together, and see that all 3 being miserable is 100x worse than only him.

@@victorascencio9938 I know the foster system sucks, but he is broken. He was run into the ground. Some choices aren't easy. He needed an out so badly he MADE it for himself. He got it, and he took it. It sucks, but human survival is a selfish, solo thing. In order for him to survive, he had to let go.

@@RemyDarlingI agree, sure the kid is selfish. Most people in the world are.

Oh no. You will get medical care. You will just be in debt... forever.

They can’t deny you medical care at the ER, but they sure can charge you for it

Ok boomer.

... he's the legal guardian of children with a low income, it's Medicaid. Free and no co-pays. His sob story and Drs passing the buck led him to House.

I'm late to the party but here in the US, they can't deny you medical help in the ER, and yes you will receive a hefty bill afterwards but if you don't pay it and let it go to collections, it doesn't affect your credit score or chances of getting a loan. I spent 4 days in the ICU just two months ago. My bill is for $1300. My insurance covered nearly $98K. This was the 5th time in three years. I'm expensive but I'm still alive

Reminds me of the scrubs intro. An x-ray image was backwards by accident, but they thought it was funny and something new nervous doctors might do so they left it in.

well his snr bro was an adult doing crime...we can't save everyone

Would you want someone making the same mistake you did?

We lie a lot to patients to show them empathy or understanding. Giving this kid advice that he didn’t follow goes along with that.

@@WowOafus In fact thats the point of advice.... Fucking literally.

Do you not understand advice? What people who make mistakes can't give you advice to stop it? What are you a genius or something?

Wet

The way he was sitting, he could feel the bottom of his shirt getting moist and the only thing that could come out of his brother's arm is blood.

He probably looked back real quick

I'll make an assumption that they planned for international audiences to an extend, most of the rest of the developed world has figured out that those bills are counterproductive to psychological health which is a fairly heavy influence on overall health. That rest of the world couldn't really sympathize with medical bills that bad and perhaps didn't want to make people think on the cost they incur on whatever healthcare system they use to avoid the really great freedom of not wanting to seek professional help because they will ruin their financial life because of it. ..a .. sorry for shooting the messenger, looking back your comment already supports the view that that system is flawed.

Yup this is one of the only things that make me not think america is better then Canada literally almost everything else Americans have is much more free and less restricted.

@@Gigachadlyyour free euthanasia sir

Free. Its a learning hospital.

@@Gigachadly Canada has one of the worst healthcare systems in the world. They can barely fill normal patients, and the doctors take cash to speed up the process. They also ask old people to Off themselves to free up room, and in 2027 will allow mentally ill people to off themselves... Canada is not a good place, and the sooner people realize that the sooner the continent we stand on might finally solve our issues.

That's what I wanted to know

He probably looked down to the left after feeling it or something.

@@tonyravioli1982 If that's where it was, yeah, but it's quite literally behind his back. (The patients fingers are visible at the time mark, showing the position.) As far as feeling it, that's why I said "have him hop down to see why the back of his shirt was getting wet." At 3:51, the blood is still contained & only starts to flow at 3:52 after arm is raised. So that doesn't even work. Shmear it around, have the kid say, "Hey" & tug at his shirt as he hops down. Everyone looks over. Problem solved.

Was a (correct) list of predicitons on what tests they would run

​@@TheActionAskchoose your doctor, choose your diagnosis

it took me a while to realize he was Sherlock Holmes.

​@@whitleypediaYes, which is alleged to be the reason for the name House. Wilson is Holmes' Watson.

@@TheActionAskdo you remember how the episode ends?

Reminds me when house tired to do surgery on his leg and had to scrub down his bathroom by himself by hand.

At least one episode made a memorable side character out of a janitor; they obviously focus on the main cast, but they show other staff often enough

yes

The above comment mentions the janitor. That episode was awesome. House had to show Cuddy he doesn't need a team, but he needed someone to talk to for the ideas to flow. Janitor was a legend in that episode.

Please watch the show to learn it.

Nope.

Horrible take

It's a good example of why all parents should have life insurance. It should also be in a trust so that somebody is over seeing the money and making sure it's not wasted. But being used to pay for the cost of raising the children, whether it's an 18-year-old sibling or another family member.

I think this show might not be for you then.

We need to make it illegal to have children for poor people

@@phantom_droneNo, we need to make it so children of all monetary classes can be given the care they need. The argument you're making is rooted in eugenics and robs people of the ability to live their lives the way they wish, which is a joy poor people shouldn't be robbed of. Why come after the people suffering when you should be coming after the people who put them in that position and do nothing about it, the higher ups? We have billionaires flying private jets to get Starbucks but you want to come after the people who aren't in the position to have a guaranteed meal every day because of the billionaires hoarding their wealth?

kids amright, i dOn'T wAnnA bE a dAd

Extreme lightheadedness sometimes destroys your spacial awareness, and your body resorts to absolute basic survival hardware: we're gonna yuke, lean against something so we don't fall in it. The something just happened to be the table.

Dude was not able to keep upright and was in the midst of his body shutting down. Him puking on the table was probably the last thing on his mind at that point.

The entire show is a Sherlock Holmes reference

yeah even his address in show

Yes it is of course. I just liked how the channel put this citation in the title of the video

I find myself thinking of her as Cuddly…

Better than Stacy ?

@@mikelarry2602 apples and oranges but both sweet

Nah

It’s not Tobey McGuire.

the actors is obviously not 18 but I can ignore that and pretend he looks older because he was suddenly orphaned and made into a parent of 2.

Why?

Hello Ricardo

Hey Ricardo

sup ricardo my man

Hope you're having a good day Ricardo

Its my boy ricardo

Bruh

You just made me lose the game

Seventeen years... I hate you so much.

I did not think I would lose the game in the comment section of a House video

It’s intentional. The line is a reference to Sherlock Holmes’s famous catchphrase, “the game is afoot.” House draws a lot of inspiration from Sherlock Holmes. It’s also House giving a clue to his team, as the patient tests positive for Hepatitis A in a scene not shown here, that’s what House diagnoses in the first scene.

Is it because he’s blsck???

I am having a stroke trying to read that...

Uh. Instagram cavalery is here.

I hate this. A lot.

Use your words

She doesn’t drink beer

Sorry to hear about your brainwashing.

@@tristen_grant It's ok. We all have different opinions. To me religion is just my belief of how the world actually (to me) is or works. It's just my perspective. I think calling it brainwashing kind of indicates that you view it the same as KKK, or like when people think they have to go to the church or mosque to be allowed the "reward" God grants them, and that avoiding punishment is the reason they even perform religious acts. To me, it's more that I just think that's how the world works. I don't do any religious acts outside of prayer, because to me it's just what exists. God exists from my point of view, and that is my belief. I don't pray because I have to, I pray because I believe I am protected and I need the protection. I live a very good life, and I give credit to God for that. You might think it doesn't matter, but that's fine. Maybe it doesn't, maybe there is nothing, but to me it just makes more sense that there's a "game dev" who created us and our world. Calling it brainwashing seems to me like you think I wasn't convinced, but actually made to think this and anything else is wrong. While I can think of cases where family have behaved in ways that could be recognized as pressuring me into "never doubting" and that it was blasphemy, it was later my own choice when my friends and some other parts of the family stopped believing. All in all, I don't think I know better. I think you have a reasonable point of view where I can see and argue for and against my own and your views, but I do ultimately think, to me, that it makes more sense to believe. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

@@Gomace What reason do you have to believe that a God exists? Have you seen God? The Bible isn't a good source because anyone can write anything in a book.

@@tristen_grant It's not about proof, it's about what you think makes sense. Just like some people believe in aliens, abd their logic is: "If we exist, then statistically, because the universe is infinite, then there should be aliens somewhere." To be fair, these little moonbears or waterbears or whatever we call them can survive in space, and I can imagine them landing on a other hospitable planet forming life somewhere because of meteors blowing them off the earth, but I don't think aliens exist. There are also plenty of logical explanations for a being like God, if you look at physics theories about the 5th dimension and higher dimensional beings, if those theories point towarss the truth, then there's a scientific chance some power or entity like God does exist. All in all, it's just about how you view the world. It's not really that deep. I just believe it because I find it plausible based on my luck in life.
