Top 5 Rarest Diseases | House M.D.. 

You forgot sarcoidosis

Said by house

H W everyone says it's never lupus but it's really never sarcoidosis

I am 666th like yey :D

It’s never lupus

icefromthefreezer the guy with the flash light said that idiot

deserved

The other dude said it, the one with the flashlight

@@teasip504 Actually the guy with the flash light said "Great, now we have to go to the hospital" So chill

@@Evsbrokenknife i mean , cops have to arrest people and help the injured until first responders arrive

@@jonygamingengusa1660 I thought it was a rather fun fact

@@jonygamingengusa1660 Everyone who discovered it in fact..

Flokka

And closest thing to a slow and painful death

Except it's the slowest zombie virus in history lol, genetically modify it with an airborne pathogen like the parainfluenza virus and you'd have a much more effective z-virus.

"this lady keeps coughing up pieces of bacon, but she's Jewish and has never eaten pork. We think she's lying and choked on some bacon" - random doctor "She was polyamorphous diploid pneumothorax baconitus syndrome, it only occurs in 1 small tribe in New Guinea and hasnt been documented since 1873 when the tribe all mysteriously died, somehow without leaving behind any evidence except a single journal from a doctor who visited them. Luckily I'm the only person who's ever read about it in 100 years and just so happen to be an expert. Get me a a sterile O.R., an ice cream scoop, and all the toast in the hospital, STAT!" - House, probably

like skips from regular show "ive seen this before"

Dammit here you are again, it has to be multiple people using 1 RU-vid channel/account

But definently not lupus

@@arthas640 good expiation

I'm not a specialist and I instantly recognized it the moment she displayed photo-phobia and hydrophobia.

If you don't want to sleep again there is a video on RU-vid documenting the progression of an Iranian with rabies. Not pretty to watch.

They're not infectious disease specialists though. Foreman is a neurologist, Chase is a surgeon and intensivist (specialices in intensive care), and Cameron is an immunologist. The only infectious disease specialist in the team is House himself (which makes sense, since they work in the diagnostics department and not the infectious disease department). Besides, if it's so uncommon that you pretty much don't see a single case of rabies in your whole career, even if the symptoms are obvious, rabies wouldn't be the first thing to pop into your mind, unless the patient's history would hint to it being a possibility.

Aerophobia, hydrophobia, delirium, and tremors. Once you tried to give the patient fluids and they started immediately choking you might take that as a sign. Besides it's only uncommon in first world countries. There are thousands of global cases annually and anyone who has ever been anywhere near third world medicine would recognize it.

It's not as simple as that. Obviously a big part of the reason why they took so long to realize the cause, was the fact that this is a medical drama and they needed to justify such a long episode, but still, as some other people have said elsewhere in the video, doctors are taught to think horses, not zebras. Even though rabies is way more common in undeveloped countries, unless they have a reason to believe that the patient has even been near said undeveloped countries, it is completely understandable for rabies to slip their minds, even if the symptoms they're seeing are obviously those of rabies. Someone who doesn't have to deal with patients every day would obviously identify it as rabies, as it's just another piece of trivia. But when rabies is one of the least common sights in your workplace, and you work treating illnesses, it's understandable to not recognize rabies as such and instead treat the symptoms as those of something else as they come.

Because it wasnt small pox, but cat pox.

Take my upvote and I need that episode

It's called A Pox on Our House and it's in season 6 or 7.

it was r-pox not smallpox

Season 7

Pffff ... the plague fears House.

I believe that's a puncture, not a biopsy :P you're right though. Let's just assume House is an expert in washing his hands.

the plague isn't that dangerous normally - we have plenty of antibiotics these days.

Even with treatment, it has a 10% mortality rate, which is way too high for comfort.

unless they have pneumonic plague (i.e. in the lungs) you have very little chance of catching it, but given that you don't catch it by contact, rather than by inhaling infected droplets then i'd say it's pretty pointless worrying about gloves although DEFINITELY wash hands as you wouldn't want to accidentally ingest it.

Cary Gibson thank you

Thanks from Germany !

Lol first 2 seasons

You are god

Cary Gibson your fucking profile picture

Same. They'd have to knock me out

I would freak out

I have to have injections into my left eye once a month. They put numbing drops in first, and once it gets close enough it's just a grey blur, you can't see anything. And because you're numbed you don't feel it either. You just stay still and it's over before you know it. If you ever need to have it done, do it. It's nowhere near as bad as it sounds.

@@daylightbright7675 good description, I get it done every 6 weeks. It feels itchy for a while afterwards but it's honestly not bad at all

Woosh me if you want but idc, he said the eye is paralyzed so it wont feel pain

Where

yAY I LOVE BEING PURPLE

Oh Jesus not the dad jokes

@@SleepyBoyo 6:30

I remember that episode

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 im pretty sure the intent was that prairie dogs are a problem because they carry the plague, and idiot parents dont keep their kids away from em

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 They. Have. THE PLAGUE

Darwin says let them die.

Tell me about it I live in North Dakota them fuckers are everywhere some farms play the game of shoot the prairie dog

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 I've had prairie dog make a home under a house that's been there for 60 years or more they are also slightly invasive species

And steins;gate

Ew

Okabe Rintarou Don’t forget Bones

Same !!!

weird flex but ok

@Lux Aeterna I'm sorry you had to experience this up close on multiple occasions, I hope you're doing well.

Yeah most people don’t even know it’s literally the deadliest virus known to man we just happen to find a cure and a vaccine for it. Unless symptoms set in then it’s usually too late.

“Being burned alive at least ends fast.” This is dead wrong. You’ve never heard of real life before. Take it from my 10th grade history teacher: “A person will do anything before they burn.” Watch a movie. Learn about 9/11. It all points the other way.

Who broke up with you to write something this depressing about something you'll never have to experience

Rabies is a bacterial infection, if memory serves, so it can’t mutate the way a virus can.

echo there are more than 1million cases of lupus in India every single year...so not so rare now, is it..

lupus is actually common

i think you guys need to actually watch the show to get a joke...

It's not rare, it's just very hard to diagnose because Lupus does a lot of things to the body.

echo echo lupus is actually quite common. That's why it's never the problem on medical shows. It's a boring, expected diagnosis. People want more suspense, drama, and mystery.

Jervis Tetch Yousician Foreman:sarcoidosis House:do ana mri and a lumbar puncture

it's never lupus

HAHAHAHAH

Never!

Except for the episode about the magician.

Edwards the ambulance. The cousin of Thomas the train

Oh, and in ER it's "Hope you like getting stabbed in the neck with a tranquilizer"

Agreed. E.g Erdheim-Chester disease (the one with that little kid with bleeding)

I remember a case of a virgin birth. That must be one of the rarest of them all.

Jason Lam this was a fake, my dear 😉

Yeah what about the chimera case

What about Locked In Syndrome?

Tiia Mannix Yeah the explaination is not helping. All that matters is that there'd be a hole in my eye and I have to pay them for that. 😒

Imagine having to pay for that

Final Destination really fucked me up

Madailein McGuire America lmao

Trust me we had those problems after the eye needle in dead space two

Yo1tsVixen :p and how she slept with her father! 🤣😂

The perfect woman is a man!

Yo1tsVixen :p didn’t she say she’s beautiful the whole episode

And wasn't she 15?

Yo1tsVixen :p “no, a joke would be me calling you a homo”

Being allergic to the sun is not that rare. There are a few people here and there. There are even some who may never go into the sunlight because it would kill them.

Rockless yes but compared to heavy metal poisoning which can happen often it's way better than the list in this video.

heavy metal gold poisoning is extreamly rare

Rockless how would they know?

Rabies

True.

Would it Be LUPUS

Rickettsial pox bro

It wasn't smallpox. They were operating under the belief that it was, but it was rickettsial pox.

I’m uncertain if this is sarcasm or not.

@@generalgrievous4254 And you may never know....

Theres dust and debris flying everywhere when I'm banging your mom

Well, at the atomic level, you're not gonna see anything remotely like that at all. Because, you're not gonna be "seeing" stuff in the first place, and the best you can settle for is some sort of model, like ball and stick.

Kaylee F Yup..she accidentally killed her husband and kid when reversing her car...right???

@@vippsmillennial6336 which lead to her homelessness. However, what really makes it sad is by the time any Real symptoms show in someone or something with rabies, its a death sentence. The moment it progresses to light sensitivity, your already dead. Its incurable past that point. The only thing left to do...is wait.

yeah seriously. it makes me so sad

@@ConnorNotyerbidness that's the horrible part. If euthanasia was an option I'd just choose that as soon as I said my goodbyes, but no, you have to suffer.

One of the best things about that series is that it wasnt always a happy ending. Patients died, main characters got hurt and died. there was a lot of emotional paperwork at play.

“Body slammed” Lol shut up moron

I thought so too until I noticed the policeman who said that was actually the one with the flashlight !

Firmly*

@@SonicGlitchmaster1 Shut up yourself, nerd.

She was rabid so...

Honestly flip those.

snek eh vise versa

House: i dont care baout those easy patients

There was a episode in which Cameron's patient only had cough as symptom but was terminal with lung cancer.

Since when does Google ever say anything shy of immediate death?

tiyenin yep it literally says that in the video

I figured that it was a look of 'are you shitting me' rather than 'I don't understand what you just said'. Granted, they give him that a lot, so it's easy to mix them up...

The difference between being a professional and not being a professional is, that when you're a professional your brain tends to favor the knowledge it uses more often, instead of the one that is most appropriate to the presented situation. When you're a doctor, you're more likely to remember the most common illnesses, than you are to remember the illnesses that fit the symptoms the best, so even the most obvious diagnosis could be almost impossible to come up with if it's not common enough, as it could completely slip your mind. Long story short, if the illness is too unusual, it's difficult to understand even if it's spelled out for you.

Rambard that seems super detrimental to a doctors career😂 but I get you

You're probably right, but it's just normal human behavior, the uncommon answers usually slip our minds, especially when lives are on the line.

There's also a saying for doctors in the diagnostic field: "When you hear hooves, look for horses, not zebras." Meaning that when you see symptoms, you should look for the more mundane explanation, rather than a rare, exotic one (in this case, the symptoms, when noted individually, could be explained by more common diseases or disorders -- think of how many things have headache and fever as symptoms, we don't just go through the list by alphabetical order whenever we get those...)

Angel Denise I am looking for that one too , House goes inside operating room and take a big snake kind of thing from her stomach , am I talking about the same one ?

It’s actually a tapeworm, she has CIPA. I can’t remember the episode though, I’m pretty sure it’s around season three or four

Found it - i went through the catalog of all Seasons its Season 3 Episode 14 " Insensitive " . Watch it and enjoy . only bad thing is they took it out of Netflix

Yes YunJung . you are right - i found the episode 'Season 3 Episode 14 '

It’s rare but it isn’t the diagnosis of the plot line. She comes in with a history of CIPA but the diagnosis for her immediate symptoms is Tapeworm

Flem100DK mirrored touch synesthesia? Or something else

Again, not that rare

mirror personality syndrome is actually very common in victims of abuse, esp if that abuse started when they were very young. you learn to copy the behaviors of others and if it goes unchecked long enough, you can absolutely end up mirroring their thoughts too. after all, our personalities are just manifestations of our thoughts and feelings

@@londonm3161 That's interesting! Thank you for your reply. Do you have any links to documentation about this?

omega Erwin try the good doctor It's great and written by the same people. He's exactly like house in genius but he's altruistic and pure

Brown Brown They removed it from Netflix and Hulu. The only way to watch it now is to pirate it, which can be risky due to pirate sites often causing computer viruses, or to purchase and use literal CDs.

Reci 123 It's too much effort to find good sites and House isn't a movie

@@sithisrants4154 If you have an Amazon Prime subscription ($10.99/month), it's free with that.

@@sithisrants4154 with amazon prime its free

Simple antibiotics are administered to the plague victim and there quarantined for a bit they then destroy any objects that can be animals are but down and tada its extremely similar to how they treat Ebola victims but still fairly different

Not a criticism, but a helpful fact. It's "forward" not "foreword". Have a great day!

It's always satisfying when you identify a disease before House does. I got that in the episode with the two kids with testosterone poisoning.

Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is not as rare in my country. Now, erythema nodosum leprosum, which was an actual case in House, is a rare complication.

Operation chimera

chimerism is actually much more common than people think! if you or someone you know absorbed a twin in the womb, chances are you're a chimera. most people just don't know they're a chimera unless it's accidentally found in genetic testing for something unrelated. that's how I found out I'm a chimera 😂

@@lepredator189 the "pretty leprosy"

@@londonm3161 still, not very common

You know, over a year later there are thousands of antivaxxer truckers blocking the Canadian parliament. House would have a hayday screaming at people with a mic and speakers

@@Thatcher-vk4ul You do know they were/are being forced to get the vaccine right? Not to mention they weren’t just protesting the vaccine, but lockdowns more specifically.

Go get a safe and effective booster shot

@@BulkBogan1920 Which is anything but.

Being skeptical about the effectiveness of vaccines and possible side effects doesn’t make one an anti vaxxer

it is a TV show

I wouldn't put it past California's shitholes: townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/06/25/bubonic-plague-in-los-angeles-is-california-on-the-verge-of-becoming-our-first-thirdworld-state-n2548969

Jenia Minkov with gold is rare because nobody expect that

Heavy metal poisoning cobalt with cuddys mom and the occasional lead poisoning from not treating bullet wounds and leaving the bullet inside

Jenia Minkov My dad got heavy metal poisoning from his job. Lead and a good host of others.

Zero Cool, or a guy who has literally 2 persons inside him because of the brain surgery.

Yeah but the cipa wasn't the diagnosed disease it was a preexisting condition, her actual disease was a tapeworm right? I think this compilation is for the diseases House diagnosed and cured/ couldn't cure

@@saintjohn8499 xd

Yeah, no kidding.

Sabrina Andrade the guy with the flashlight said it

Well it is treatable. Like leprosis. Basically the plague or any plague requires antibiotics and be done with it. Back then people thought that prayer and blood letting would do the job or some herbal tea at best case.

Makes you wonder how much fairy tale stuff was going on in House MD...

Deadly Farriswheel they ant actually paralyze it

Manuel Santos very good memory! Yes it is in fact so rare it was made up! It’s only been theorized in medicine but in the House MD universe, they set it up so that she actually had it and House is quoted to be the first to diagnosis it ever. On the other hand, since no one has had it in our universe to date, it remains theory and does not qualify for this list.

A year late, but generally they only get the case after other doctors have had a go. You see this often where they redo initial tests themselves.

Other doctors send over any medical history and presume it's nothing but house is a little more open minded in looking for zebras instead of horses. He knows thr history probably but not so bright about DNA testing and everything else

CIPA isn't really a disease though, its a disorder of the nervous system.
