From Fox.com:

The team encounters a teenage boy who collapsed from severe pelvic pain after playing basketball. Tests reveal the boy has genetic mosaicism, or both male and female DNA, and the boy's parents inform House and the team that the boy is unaware of his condition. They consciously chose a gender for him when he was born and raised him accordingly, never telling him about his unique condition. However, when his condition worsens and his life is threatened, the parents wonder whether they made the right decision. Meanwhile, Cuddy and Wilson suspect something is wrong with House when he starts acting way too nicely. When they discover the shocking answer, they must face the prospect that House may be changed forever.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's wrong here? Why doesn't this episode focus solely on Foreteen as usual? What has the world come to? It's almost as if they're starting to think this show is about that Hugh Laurie guy.
 
We have had a couple of those in the last few episodes, haven't we?

Still trying to discern what game House is playing .....

Hmmm, maybe no game at all.

Can't say I've ever heard of nipple twisting being applied in such a situation before. :wtf:
 
"You miss sleeping with women? It's a simple question."

"Yes. It's a simple answer."

:guffaw:
 
So two different people have concluded House is on heroin.... but somehow that doesn't strike me as his way. :confused:

We've seen him shooting straight morphine and doing LSD/droping acid over the course of this series.

;)


I tell ya, House goes through more canes.
 
Methadone! Herion without the high...man he really wants to be pain free! :wtf:

"Pain makes us crazy, fear of pain makes us even crazier."
- Dr. Gregory House. [paraphrased]

Seriously, I've lived with severe pain before -in cluster headaches- I don't now through far less severe medication than methadone but I would seriously do or take anything to prevent me from getting those damn things.
