Season 1 Episode 11 "Detox"
While trying to figure out why a young patient (Nicholas D'Agosto) will not stop bleeding after a car wreck, House accepts Cuddy's challenge and goes off Vicodin for a week in exchange for no clinic duty for a month. As House's withdrawal symptoms become severe, his methodology for his patient is more harsh and risky, and Foreman and Cameron are afraid he may not be thinking clearly enough in order to save the patient's life. House does solve the case though by exhuming the family's recently deceased cat and performing an autopsy on it. He finds high doses of napthalene, which is excreted by termites as a repellent. The patient has been exposed to the poisonous vapors due to a termite nest behind the walls of his bedroom.

A House without his meds is definitely not a home
Lol
Golden comment
This is deep
So... home is where the drugs are?
And just a pile of bricks without a cane
The fact that he had to broke his own finger for release the pain of his leg is all you need to know about what he was suffering... I love this series
Or his addiction
The withdrawal is wore than his pain. That’s why he does this. A rush of endorphins would make him feel slightly better for a few minutes.
@@TheUnknownDungeon thanks for your expirience bro ... Also yeah... The hurt is so big that it will make you mad if you don't found the way to make it go
Nah. Later when he goes without it, it's clear his emotional pain is what hurts the most. Every second of every day.
Its possible, that it's the withdrawal phantom pain
I love the moment where he tries to process whether he's hallucinating the masseuse or not LOL
I wondered that myself to begin with since everyone else didn't seem to notice her nor ask what he was looking at giving you the impression that he was seeing her due to the come down.
Hell even when Wilson walked upto him you still weren't 100% sure as you expected him to ask House what he was looking at.
@@DarkLordDiablos opioid withdrawal doesn’t do that period
@@DarkLordDiablos Please use a comma.
@@DarkLordDiablos Chase was looking at her as well
Yeah then he realised Chase was distracted too and visibly relaxed
Hugh Lawrie deserved an Emmy just for his portrayal of the detoxing.
And for Stuart little 1 and 2 🐀🐀🧀🧀👉👌👉👌😩😩😩
Especially since he's never managed to get rid of the limp he developed while playing the role. (pretending for something like that long enough can lead to it becoming real)
@@Great_Olaf5 Facts. Mike Smith, who plays Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys, messed up his eyesight from wearing those crazy glasses for so long.
Well, no shot in hell he would've been able to practice medicine during it, but sure.
Same with Frasers father.
It speaks volumes about House that for him, 1 month of clinic duty is worse than 1 week spent in pain and misery. Or clinic duty.
Great point
I think if he declined the generous offer, he'd prove Cuddy right. The episode kind of proves he's in denial and nothing is worse getting off his meds.
Yeah, I too think House mainly didn't want to prove Cuddy right. I doubt House decided that the pain he was in at the end of the clip was worth it if only clinic hours were at stake.
He's always in pain and misery, he probably thought "what's a little extra on top of it"
Have you seen his clinic patients?? I would be miserable too!! Remember that woman that was actually spraying her neck with her inhaler? No wonder House avoids it like the plague, idiocy is contagious.
For those of you who don't get what he's doing at 7:00, basically the body prioritizes pain receptors (aka indications of injury) according to the severity. So by creating a more severe injury by breaking his hand, he's causing his body to dull the pain receptors in his leg and focus on the more serious injury in his hand, relieving some of the pain overall.
He also gets a hit of endorphins which ease the pain in the body as a whole.
I screamed WHY and flinched. I didn't even think about the logic. Thanks!
It took me a second to think of that and I was horrified when I realised. Jesus, the sheer amount of pain that would cause you to do that. And it would only last a little while too.
I know this well too. Once i had so strong tooth ache I almost bite pencil in two pieces and then I run into wall headfirst. Just to feel other pain.
@@Gorbi1985 oof
i once went to a doctor for back pain, and they asked why i had second degree burns on my back which was news to me, i had just had a hot water bottle on my back to relieve the pain which was so great i didnt even realise i was being burned, anyone who questions the need for pain meds has never been in real pain
Have you ever tried Kratom to help with pain and ease withdrawal symptoms?
Or they have but still don’t care.
Oh I'm so angry I can't get help for mine I'm always in a lot of pain but get sent home being told to take ibuprofen all the time
@@aprilleerose Kratom makes me extremely sick and gives me migraines. My ancestors have been using opium for millenia . It's in my DNA, my body works well with it. Why can't I just have what works for me without society trying to fix me ?
@@jdguy23 they're terrible for giving you that advice, I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you find a sympathetic doctor who will take the legal hit and write you prescriptions for pain meds. Excessive ibuprofen rips your internal organs apart over time, they're doing you a disservice by avoiding real treatment
I used to have little sympathy for addicts. Then I went on medication. Then I went off medication, cold turkey. It certainly changed my perspective. Withdrawal is something you should be fortunate enough to go your whole life without experiencing.
I was in rehab for three months. Serious spine pain from an operation. They put me on Oxy. I got very addicted. I had no idea what was happening to me.
The way House is portraying withdrawal in is accurate. I went through it for two full weeks. Oxy is really nothing but another version of Heroin and just as addictive.
In a way I'm glad I went through it is because now I know why they are talking about meaning being addicted to opiates.
How 'are you guys now? Im currently withdrawing how long would you say it takes?
@@RealD8 Depends on the drug. Oxy took me two weeks. Oxy is one of the longest lasting ones to detox from so I hear. I heard of people getting off Heroin in less than a week.
I hope you have friends to run to the store for you. You're going to be messed up but it does stop. It might take a month for your sleeping patterns to get back to normal.
@@williamdillard8330 Thanks for your reply, I do wonder about @DarS
Unfortunately, sports injury led to Vicodin to Percocet then I tried those fake white fent m30 pills but I'm trying to kick, I'm guessing since fentanyl is so much stronger, I'm in for a wilder ride detoxing.
PS: I use to also not have sympathy for addicts either, I use to think throw em in jail let em detox and now look where I'm at, life has ways to humble you...
And so do you feel normal now? Does it still call your you?
@@RealD8 I have been off it for years. I do have health issues that make me think an Oxy would make it more bearable at times. But otherwise I don't think about it. If the only physical problem you have is withdrawal don't get weak, just get through it. Learn healthy living, eating right walking, jogging, and what have you.
Never never take a drug off the street to get through it. You never truly know what it is you would be getting. You will never get past the addiction.
The suffering is not likely to last more than two weeks. Maybe less than that. Just do it.
For me this is where House's character began to develop and deepen,and his complex story began to unfold
This is the exact moment when Greg became House. Wait wrong show
This is truly when House became Heisenberg
@@ggnadeknight7733 This is when Walt Became House MD in which House Cooks and Walter Cooks meth
@@ggnadeknight7733 Housenberg
I have nerve damage in my right leg, a bit like House, I use a stick too and use opioids as well. Whoever made this character really knew his stuff. I relate very much to what House often feels. Very well written. Someone who never experienced chronic pain for a (very) long time, just won't understand and never will until they find themselves in these shoes.
In HS i had a piece of a needle break off through my skin and drift around in my knee. My PCP thought it was just a torn something (I felt a sharp pain getting up after kneeling for about an hour) and wanted an MRI. After an x-ray a week later, I'd been without anything but Motrin and was losing my mind.
They found it had drifted around my kneecap and was slowly slipping into the nerve cluster behind. If they'd done an MRI the radiologist said, "It may have ripped your kneecap out of place". I've never felt anything so intense in my life, and the two weeks before they removed it felt like a month.
This. I'm dealing with CRPS in my left ankle, which got smashed in an accident. I have a spinal cord stimulator, but the pain specialist was wrong about it helping the pain. It did help my functioning, but being otherwise SOL...House 's writers really DO get it.
House has always insisted he doesn't have a drug problem, he has a pain problem. And he's quite right.
Yep i have body pain that im 99% sure comes from cptsd from what my parents have done. My muscles ( even if it doesnt feel like to me) are pretty much tense all the time and so the pain comes from muscle fatigue of muscles clenching 24/7 and it sucks its probably not as bad as house fot his leg as its not nerve damage but it is all muscles in my body
I have a friend
Nerve pain up her spine gives her chronic pain and headaches
I'm not the person in pain but it always kills me that there's not much I can do to help. You also don't know when to stop them from making a pain problem a pill problem, ya know ? It's scary to think about
I guess they forgot House speaks fluent Spanish for the masseuse scene.
He probably only learns enough when his patients speak to know a few things: where they've been and what they've taken. Like how he learned enough Hindi to mess with one guy. Or he learned after he met her.
But he's probably fluent in Mandarin since college for credits.
Fluency in languages is hard, but House learned how to cook at mastery level to distract from his leg pain when he detoxed and was in therapy v
I mean she only spoke 1 sentence in Spanish so it was probably him more confused as to why she was asking for his hand rather than not actually understanding what she was saying
Maybe he was pretending lol.. Like how he didn't reveal that he speaks Spanish to the family till he was interrogating the mother about where her son works... Even if I'm wrong, It's House he doesn't need a logical reason
@@AnimeKat8849 Maybe he learn only a basic words from tourist book or something like that. Basic questions, answers and simple reply.
I speak Spanish and it took me 5 tries to even realize she was speaking Spanish. Her accent sounded kind of Eastern European, but she indeed said "give me your hand in Spanish". The inflexion is kind of off tho.
The fact this man is British and he’s so natural with the American accent it’s ridiculous he’s super talented
Hugh Laurie has such phenomenal range and talent. Musician, singer, part time American, get you a man who can do it all
He actually had people on set to coach him on his pronouncing of words. He apparently had to do many takes to get it right. He talked about it in an interview.
@@packlesswolf1Yeah, in interviews he’s always been honest about how difficult the accent was. I admire that about him.
Hugh is an English comedian and actor not British, one is a native ethnicity to the UK the other a term to refer to anything non English.
Yeah it isn’t natural to him at all he just worked hard for it
What really scared me about this is how red and glassy his eyes look along with the smile and sigh of relief through the pain. The combination of Vicodin withdrawal and the pain in his leg is so bad that he was willing to break his hand and feel entirely _new_ pain just so his leg wouldn't hurt as much....and that smile....I can only imagine how bad that combination must be for him to feel that the pain of breaking his hand was worth temporary relief from the pain in his leg.
It wasn't just relief from the pain in his leg. If he couldn't handle the pain, he would have had to admit to Cuddy that he was wrong, and was in fact addicted to the Vicodin. He would have had to admit to himself that he was an addict. So he wasn't just relieving the pain in his leg - he was relieving the pain of the death of his own self image. It was a massive, willing self deception.
The smile was from the release of endorphins when the body sustains a new injury. The endorphin is a natural pain reliever that helps relieving the brain from the intense pain so that the body can function under stressful situations.
@@MathStringInputOutpu Probably one of the few medically accurate thing about that topic. I remember this episode actually making me mad. I understand that it was Wilsons way of getting House to admit he was an addict, but they way they talk about it in this first two minutes makes ZERO sense, even worse when you consider they are both supposed to be very smart Doctors. Yes she does describe what is going to happen to him IF he detoxes, while actually leaving out a few details I'm guessing didn't get past the censors. Here is the problem with this entire premise. The only thing more dangerous going cold turkey on would be actual heroin, oxy or alcohol. It doesn't matter if he wasn't actually an addict, as in he doesn't use it to get high because he's been using the pills at such a high dose for so long the amount it would take to get him high would likely kill at least 3 people. He had 0% chance of not going into detox because it's not like the drugs only gives detox to people who are addicts looking to get high, his body is still going to be physically dependant on it.
@@dcworld4349 House also woke a guy who was in a coma for 10 years and proceeded to take him out for a day on the town. The only medical accuracy in the show is the fact that patients exhibit symptoms from their diseases.
@@lancepate That goes beyond being so ridicilous no one is going to take it seriously. This I could very easily see people who have no idea how anything actually works buy as a reasonable way to test someone they themselves know.
1:25 Has always bugged me about what Cuddy says here. He’s been on Vicodin for years, there’s a difference between addiction and dependence; he’d go through withdrawal either way. Someone who’s dependent on narcotics could taper off slowly so they don’t feel the withdrawal and all that would be left is the pain. An addict would taper off but still have the pain *and* the craving for the drug
Its actually against Doctors oath/ethic to stop patients medication suddenly and abruptly,the dose is lowered gradually.Sry my english
It is incorrect to do so, but Cuddy is doing it because House is denying that he is addicted, so this is a challenge to make House admit that he is addicted, whereas House takes the challenge to avoid clinic duty and one up Cuddy.
You don't have enough insight into who house may be to judge whether or not he's addicted mentally. You're splitting hairs. He's clearly physically dependent and that's enough to define an addict in most cases. Withdrawal will sharp turn dependency into addiction. Fear of that pain. That's where I am
This isn’t entirely true. Addiction is a chemical change in the brain due to continued substance abuse which is usually characterized as an inability to stop use of drugs even though you know it’s harmful to yourself. Dependence is the physical dependence or need of the substance once the body becomes physically adapted to the presence of the drug. While both can be present independently from one another, usually dependence and addiction run parallel to each other.
When it comes to opioid abuse, the natural opioid receptors in the brain gradually become less responsive to the constant onslaught of opioid stimulation. Eventually the receptors require more of the drug to produce the same effects.
There’s some excellent articles on addiction vs dependence as well as what exactly happens in the brain at different stages of opioid use. Searching “drug addiction vs dependence” and “how opioids change the brain” results in some great information on the topics. I’m also a recovering opiate addict myself and have plenty of first hand experience regarding the physical/chemical changes in the brain.
cuddy was the villain of the series
I can totally understand him breaking his own finger to relieve pain from his leg. I have arthritis in all my joints but particuarly in my feet and back (I'm 23). Before I went on medications, I used to bite my hand because I'd rather feel that sharp pain then the constant dull ache in my joints.
How are you now? Hope you got better...
Please look up John Rose on TH-cam. Or pay me no mind
Hey same as me! Spondylarthrosis? If so, what out for any digestive problems, we tend to develop Crohn's Disease as a result of our immune system going crazy. Also watch out for skin itchiness and pain in the eyes. It usually forms a package. God bless, arthritis fucking sucks
@@falloutworldrecord Yep, that's the one. Good guess. I haven't got eye pain yet thankfully but I have really bad dermatitis all over my face and hands. I'm going to a specialist about my upset stomach. I can whole heartedly agree that Spondyloarthritis sucks. Just got to stay strong and do whatever treatments you can.
@@katejenkins9925 I'm gonna be fine, my treatment is starting soon :) For me it's eczema in the ears, scalp and beard. Nowhere else for now thankfully. Brace yourself, it's quite a road get diagnosed for Crohn's, let alone getting treatment. Once you end up with a good team of specialist, it becomes so much more easier!
I'm astonished at how many young people have the same or a similar condition as us. It's way more widespread than you'd think.
That guy chuckling in the elevator at 1:10 is great
thank you i was looking for someone else to see it lmao
@@doub1e_b1ink77 Same hahaha
" mah man"
that was an extra having a hard time keeping a straight face at that line and the director loving it enough to keep it in. Which is great cause that's the best kind of reaction to get out of your extras: genuine without being disruptive.
The extras in this show are incredible. One more instance was when House and Cuddy were talking, and they were stoppibg the elevator doors from closing, and a nurse rolled his eyes. So fed up with them
1:03 Guy in the elevator on the left can't stop grinning after what House said about Cuddy is hilarious.
Looks like he took a look to see if it's true 🤣
The guy in the middle absolutely checked her out
is that bob odenkirk in the middle too?
For anyone who has not experienced severe chronic pain and is confused by the end.
It is not uncommon for acute pain to be a relief to the constant chronic pain. The thing about pain is that it demands to be felt. Its exhausting. Horribly exhausting.
Is that a quote from TFIOS?
What is TFIOS?
@@BezddRed can't say I know if it is a quote from something specific. I know I've said it for a long time, and am sure I heard or read it somewhere though.
@@BezddRed who knows but I do know something about pain. if something hurts constantly, a sharp pain in another part of the body, the pain receptors shift focus. I would get horrible long lasting ear pain to the point I would deliberately slam my knee against a door facing so my body would focus on that for awhile and Id get relief from my ear pain.
nerve induced pain like a neck hernia is something you can't shield yourself against, nor can you brace for it or avoid it. It can only be somewhat numbed with painkillers (not available over the counter). It's always there, dull at times, and often sharp and intense, demanding almost all of your attention. Managed to keep working despite all that, with the help of some great people that are my employers.
Imagine saying something that in front of people and getting in an elevator with them lol
R u bot
@@AJ-pi6rv are you?
Man , I see your comments on Muta's videos too. I am surprised you are here aswell lmao
Look at the black dude with the smirk. He knew what was good
@@Raxarion he's not everywhere. It's a bunch of different accounts.
Got my Mom started on this show, she was on the verge of tears seeing House in this much pain without his pills. This is the best show ever developed for television, up there with Miami Vice. The show was a game changer and everything about it is perfection.
Try fauwlty towers
I wouldn't call everything about it perfection, there are some episodes that are kind of eh, most of season 8 wasn't great, and there are a fair number of things in it that are inaccurate and/ or very problematic. But on the whole it was fantastic, very few shows have manged to hit me in the way that house did. The fact that I've watched the whole thing twice in spite of its length is a testament to that.
Your mom is probably a user lol
'This is the best show ecer developed for television, up there with Miami Vice.'
Go on literally ANY show on TH-cam and you'll see this same unoriginal comment. What's funny about this one tho is you couldn't even be consistent in the same sentence. Lol.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 I give you that, there are meh episodes and also long meh moments during good episodes. On this shorts of course everything looks great, they are using highlights.
Hugh Laurie's acting is an accomplishment that alot of actors won't see for themselves.
Imagine having the absolute best circumstances happening to you because you are as good as you are and you just know where you are going in your life. That's Hugh Laurie, not to mention his acting career as House
And he was kinda lit in Stuart little 1 and 2 🐀🐀🐀🐀🧀🧀👉👌👉👌😩😩
Please don't kill him.
House is by far my favorite Hugh Laurie... That being said I was always a big fan of Blackadder...
10-second foreshadow.
Foreman - Future Dean "House is losing it"
Chase - Future House "He's fine"
i love the scene at 5:57
Cameron: This is a mistake
Foreman: This is a lawsuit
Chase: Hep E is possible(Chase is on another level of trust)
that's because Chase is a pretty good doctor
The character development for some members of the show, particularly early on, was genuinely good. The way their relationships changed, that they changed, made the whole thing seem more real - a healthy dose of drama in a medical mystery landscape.
And ultimately, Chase becomes House's replacement.
5:52*
When you see Chase in the early seasons compared to late seasons, you really do see how much more Colder he got later on.
As if chase was taking House's habits and bedside manner style
He looked up to House and idolized him in a way. Here in Chase’s eyes, House could do no wrong. Chase became more and more like him as the show went on.
Never have I understood house so much....until I got chronic, unrelenting pain. Hes a hero, my attitude morphed into his and people will never understand
As someone who was born with chronic pain from my disbilty i want to tell house your pain doesn't make u special
Careful not to feed into it. People feel smart because the suffer
@@dragon22214o, but his altruism and willingness to put his emotions aside when healing people does make him special. As is his respect for other peoples free will. You on the other hand are a punk.
@@dragon22214 Special means: "better, greater, OR OTHERWISE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS USUAL" Pain makes you different. So indeed you become special with pain and suffering.
@@wsbgodlikeretard3474You're right, people just get bitter and say otherwise because they don't want to feel less 'special' than others
6:40 is what happens when you go a week without house clips
I was gonna say that
Ill testify to that.
Its been worse than that for me
House Withdrawal
"You're in Denial" "No I'm not!"
The part where he's watching that chick, is so accurate, getting off pain meds after a long time wakes that part of the brain up and almost everything gets you going even the slightest thought.
Same with cocaine
Sobber dont mean you not addicted .....sometimes is just change what you addicting from
Considering the amount of these videos I've watched, I might as well have watched the entire show by this point.
Mom said it's *my* turn to repeat this joke!
the "take off your clothes" just hit us all like a truck lmfao
made me go "eh?!" after she said that line
House's face when she said that was just hilarious
I'll always sympathise with this episode simply because I know the feeling. When I got my wisdom teeth pulled they didn't give me any pain relievers and barely numbed my mouth. For the whole week that followed I was in the most insane pain I've ever felt. It got to the point where I started trying to break my hand like House or bash my knee against the wall to relieve the pain. Once I finally got pain killers tho it felt like a dream come true and I was soon back to normal. Worst week of my life.
insane i got perc 10s when i was just the age to be aware of things but not really i remember taking 2 nd telling my mom i should be prescribed this..HUGE RED FLaG.
and id had hydrocodone for broken bones befoe but this was diff..the age..the timing. the drug affects mixed with my social uncomforte..yeh
edit: its insane they gave nothing. tooth pain is insane. just funny how that's one of my foundest red flag memories.. and they were necessary..but so was a buncha of other stuff id presume lol..given how things progressed
Someone who’s had his wisdom teeth removed And has had toothache problems because of poor management.
I can safely say that tooth pain is a different kind of pain
@@Thebloodbornreaper when I was 30, I took out my 2 wisdom teeth on the right and I have to take out the 2 on the left, as they are also sideways and pushing the other teeth inwards.
So a decade (and a half) later, I still haven't made the second appointment. I hate Dentist visits so much...
That’s stupidly cruel. I had an infection in my gums (bc of my wisdom teeth erupting) and I was in such severe pain it was difficult to breathe. I had to wait a weekend before the dentist could do the surgery, and I called the office crying hysterically, asking for just one or two doses of a stronger pain med (they gave me codeine which was not doing a single thing) and they said no. And I told them “Look I know you think I’m a drug seeker, I’m literally asking for TWO doses. Just one dose a day until I can have the surgery!” And they still said no.
Once I actually had the surgery, they gave me good drugs, more than I needed actually, and I hoarded them just in case the pain either came back or I injured myself somehow (I’m prone to falls/back pain) but fortunately that didn’t happen.
I understand doctors have to protect themselves/their licenses, but I feel like they’ve swung way too far in the other direction, and now people who really need pain meds can’t get access.
@@anjelica948 exactly. Besides the whole "war on drugs" is idiotic and counter-productive. Drugs should be legal and we would have less crime that way and less money spent on "policing" and corrupt autorities (cops are half the night mafia - politicians are the bosses). With the money spent we could make programs to actually help addicts, instead of imprisoning them.
Cuddy: ¨Its double what you were taking when I hired you¨
House: ¨Cuz you´re twices annoying¨
I mean, he has a point xD
twice as annoying
I like how the guy on the elevator on the left at 1:08 is trying SO hard not to laugh, you can see him almost sweating as he tries to hide that smile lmao.
Good eye
House breaking his own hand, not for drugs, but to relieved his pain. That's how you know he needs the pills.
He did from the pain of withdrawals, so it was definitely for the pills
I love Chase doing his double-take at 2:18
I get so, so, so mad when people say you're a drug addict just because you take pain pills. I'm in a similar situation as House, and trust me, we don't want to be like this. We don't want to take them. We don't want to be dependent. But we can't function without them so please stop calling us addicts. It's horrible when someone assumes you're a drug addict when you're in terrible pain and just asking for help.
You're an addict though. Pain pills are an old treatment there are new treatments that can help you.
@@bigbobbacharcoal Name some
Downhomesunset I don't know the name of it but there is one where they implant something on your spinal column that regulates nervous signals. A family friend has it implanted because he had his foot degloved.(That's where your skin gets ripped off completely) he also has a nerve pain issue that causes his to feel the worst pain imaginable in his foot which is slowly spreading across his body. The device helps. Also growth hormone has been found to help regrow damaged nerves. In other cases spinal adjustments can greatly help or remove pain
So, for all of you saying Lauren is an addict… no she is dependent. And so am I. We aren’t trying to get a buzz. We are trying to get out of bed. Some of us are in enough pain that if we didn’t have our meds( I have a transdermal med patch and take oral meds for breakthrough pain) we would kill ourself. Imagine a tooth ache. A bad one . The pain that is so bad you can’t talk. It radiates through your jaw, skull and neck. Now that pain every day. All no matter what. I promise we have tried and are probably doing, physical therapy, chiropractic care, hot pads, warm baths, meditation, deep breathing, mindfulness, heat therapy, ice therapy, hypnosis energy therapy you name it we have done it. The nerve stimulator that helps block pain doesn’t work if you have more than one spot where there is pain. We don’t like the exhaustion, nausea, dry mouth, urine issues, chronic constipation, memory loss ect that come with using pain meds for a long period of time. Every time we go to the doctor (every 3 months in the US) we have a mandatory drug test. If we are seeing a pain specialist, we are probably seeing a therapist both a mental and physical. All of this stuff so we can drink water and keep it down, cuddle with our kids, go to work, drive a car (no, Its not against the law so don’t come at me) , take a shower get dressed, tie our own shoes, make dinner, make love and for some of us, get up and use a toilet on our own. Chronic pain robs us of everything down to our dignity. Are there some people that become addicted to the high one feels when talking the medication? Of course. But the majority of us if you look us up n line, have been on a stable regimen for several years (10 years for me) , have the same doc on every prescription, and haven’t had any issues. So, back off.
I dont want to speak for anyone on here, but house is clearly addict if you watch the show. He's addicted to the pills both mentally and physically, and is in major denial like a lot of addicts are. We see him display addict behavior a lot, and as the show progresses his consumption of the pills does as well as what he will do for them. He illegally forges a prescription and steals to get more pills. He hallucinates from pills, as well as having a problem with alcohol. Anyone who watches that show should see that is not just physical, by the end its far more mental than physical and he's out of control. I understand that some people suffering need pail pills more than others, but they can still turn your behavior into an addict, now that doesn't happen to everyone at all. Some people are just dependent on them, and it doesn't cause any issues in their lives. Clearly that was from house's situation. He enjoyed the euphoria and would do anything to get more as shown on the show.
Seeing house like this was painful
Imagine how it felt for ME

Me too. He’s dependent not addicted to the Vicodin. I wish people would understand the difference. The week, I just had a nightmarish experience with the new pharmacy. My insurance company went to bat for me. Take care.
Fun fact: he uses the mortar and pestle to grind up speed for wilson's coffee in another episode
Cuddie: that's so unhealthy your pills
Patient with an unknown disease: I have an unpleasant feeling down my spine for some reason
For those that don't know what episode this is, it's the one where a teenage boy had a poison caused by termites in Season 1. It's the one with Amanda Seyfried in it.
Awesome thanks 🙌🏼
I feel like this show totally missed showing how House was physically dependent on medication. Physical dependence due to chronic pain and wanting to get high are completely different, and he appears to never not be in pain which I completely understand as a person with chronic pain (I doubt he would hypothetically be able to get high on his medication, given how high his tolerance is from being on them for years). I think they really demonized him using medication when it could have shown the reality of physical dependence when you have pain 24/7.
Huh? How? His chronic pain and genuine need for pain relief was explored many times in the show, including in this scene here. I don't understand how they could have made it any clearer without labouring the point. This plotline was about Cuddy and Wilson coming to understand that the jokes about getting high were just covering House's real vulnerability due to his leg, and the show even revisits the past where his leg troubles began.
@@trapd00rspider They never discussed tolerance or, in my opinion, the fact that Vicodin has tylenol in it. Very bad for the liver and kidneys. He really should have been on oxycodone.
@@downhomesunset Oxycodone is something someone with MS or someone with cancer needs, not for neuropathy in your leg. Oxycodone would produce more of a high than hydrocodone would, and it would be even worse to be addicted to or detox from. I think he knows how strong oxycodone is so that is why he sticks to vicodin, the chances of becoming an addict on accident or on purpose are much higher and the effects would be much stronger. No doctor treating patients should be taking oxycodone multiple times a day. I think they'd need to sit that one out, coach. Yes, I know about hydromorphone and morphine, but hydromorphone makes even terminally ill cancer patients in their last stages loopy when taken as directed. Morphine has an adverse effect on a lot of people and makes them delusional and have hallucinations.
@@br3ad420 In 2004 they were giving oxy for any kind of long term pain
Physical dependence do to pain and addiction are not different my man, physical dependency is in fact, always the same regardless of the reason for taking it
3:49 House be like "Oh, we're going there right away?"
On the other hand, if a hot masseuse like that one tells me to take off my clothes, you'd see a new world record of undressing speed.
Detoxing House wasn't a bad idea but was cold turkey really the only method?
Couldn't they just slowly lower his doses?
PS: That masseuse was really hot.
back then there was no good way to detox off medical heroin now days we have this star trek tech called a bridge device it interferes with the receptors in the brain making you not even addicted anymore you are addicted but suffer 0 of the withdrawal effects its a major game changer for people suffering from opiod addiction.
Dr Cutty wasn’t really trying to detox House, she was trying to make a point. That he’s in denial about his addiction
I thought about this too, but honestly with House's attitude, he wouldn't have done that. Though cold turkey has far less success rates than weaning, it's also better than nothing at all, which is what he would have done.
@@daisiedragon yeah, opioid replacement using something like methadone is the medically accepted method though that bridge device thing that poster above mentioned sounds interesting.
I disagree that he would have chosen reducing though because I feel the show makes it pretty definitive that House is an addict. The question of preference between reducing and cold turkey is a non-starter; he does not want to stop taking the pills.
When House does finally admit he needs help he's strapped to a bed to ride out the withdrawals
@@SOLOcan Oh no, I wasn't trying to imply he'd go for a reductive treatment at all actually haha. By "which is what he would have done", I mean "nothing". My bad for the confusion!
Edit for further clarification: I meant that had Cuddy not convinced him to go cold turkey, he would have done nothing. He would not have gone for a treatment plan.
This episode earned Hugh Laurie an Emmy nomination 🏆. His performance here was spectacular 💖
Man imagine what kinda pain you need to be in to actually smile in relief after cracking your own hand
I broke my pinky fir the same reason.
“You’re doing what? 80 milligrams a day?” “No, that’s way too much. Moderation is the key. Unless there’s PAIN” 😂😂
I love how she says this with all the experience of a person who hasnt dealt with a life changing pain every day
I love how Bob Odinkirk is an elevator extra lmao
"Take off your clothes"
House: 👁👄👁 👀
That last scene hit me to the core. I’ve been there several times in my life. I’ve had 5 back surgeries and 2 of them I barely recovered from. Sometimes you want to feel pain beyond the pain that haunts you every second of the day. I wanted to feel pain from another part of my body because the chronic pain I was going through sucked all the feeling out of my body, emotionally and physically. It’s hard for people that don’t have chronic pain to understand what people that have chronic pain are going through on a daily basis.
if you know pain.. adiction.. lonelyness etc.. Laurie played something almost unplayedable. There were times he was the only person understading me. Every his painfull step, every pill he takes. The serie really helped me in times I was such broken. Such adicted such in pain. It is more than ten years I have been (ab)using opates because of pain. I am alone. Brilliant acting. That is what adiction is.
🫂🫂🫂
5:04 The way he could've said that at literally any point in the show
I was always confused why (in a show about the medical field overall) They had a super experienced doctor taking vicodin for all these years. Tylenol will mess you up. I always wondered why they never changed the prescription.
managing chronic pain with opiates is controversial and quite the hot topic in medical circles and is a huge moral dilemma of our time. so being a drama show of course they would portray the doctor afflicted with something so current and controversial to spur the conversation and be relevant. its honestly a freaking genius idea that gets people interested and engaged with the show.
Right?! They could have just put him on oxycodone and that would solve the Tylenol plot hole.
He's a build on Sherlock. That means opioid _over_ use despite intellect because stubborn and depression.
Most likely he got hooked on them quite quickly early on before trying any alternatives, then it was just easier to use his position to stay on the opiates instead of switching to something else and going through the miserable withdrawal and addiction side effects.
He said before he always checks his eyes for jaundice in case the vicodin shuts down his liver.
Being a pain patient in withdrawal is a hell you don't know what's like unless you experience it.
I'm a pain patient myself. Forgetting withdrawal, without the opiod it's torture as is...
I have chronic pain (CFS, possible fibro), and lately in my joints it's worsened to the point that some days just standing up is excruciating at first. I can't walk right because it hurts so much. Just had my gallbladder out and the thing I noticed most about coming off the Percocet was that my hips and back and other things started screaming at me again. Made me wish I could keep taking them. I hate the fuzzy feeling but man, to walk upright without a limp, without pain... Yup.
@@lyciumchld then get a good doctor to give you the oxy without the Tylenol in it. Or get some kratom online
@@14reasons58 on state health care, not got choices. They're good doctors but the war on opioids is a thing where I am.
@@lyciumchld did you get my new message. The sons of b on TH-cam keep fing censoring me
@@14reasons58 just the one about the meds without the Tylenol
A House without his Vicodin cannot stand. Also love that the brother was the only one in the elevator to laugh about that 'baby got back' comment.
Few shows could ever reach this level of writing or acting. Thank you Dr. House.
The writers did this correctly with regard to medicine, addiction, and homeostasis. House isn't bashing his hand because his leg hurts too (though it probably was at the point he reached in withdrawal), he's doing it to stimulate an endorphin rush. Opioid-based pain medications are extremely effective, the problem with them is that they simply work too well, they take pain away physically, AND emotionally. The vast majority of patients who actually adhere to what an MD prescribes, never experience withdrawal or other negative symptoms; patients who are correctly medicated for a level of pain, until some manner of alleviation is found, can immediately drop even somewhat larger regular doses of opioids. To the credit of the character, he's keeping up with the challenge, but it's obvious that Cuddy was dead on the money. He slowly upped his own dose to escape his self hatred and human condition.
You are wildly inaccurate and this is dangerous misinformation. The vast majority of long-term pain patients (provided they are on opioid pain medication) would quickly go into withdrawal if they stopped taking their pain meds cold turkey like that. Severity of withdrawal would depend on their dose and how long they've been on it, but even relatively low doses still cause physical dependency. Anyone who's taken even a mid-level psychopharmacology class could tell you that.
Your comment is obviously coming from someone with no accurate medical knowledge and who has never been through that kind of thing in their life. Given your comment is 8 months old right now I'd leave it alone except for the fact that it's propagating harmful misinformation.
@@austinp8172 I wouldn't define taking an MD's instruction as potentially harmful information(though, I guess malpractice happens), nor praising good writing in a television show, nor would I believe a hypothetical ideal to be a frequent occasion. Lemme explain it differently for you, if you are compensating for a stimulus, and remove both the mechanism of compensation, and the stimulus at once, equilibrium is maintained. From what I've studied, opioids obviously have high rates of addiction and dependency, the reality of it is patients aren't perfect, and can easily obtain larger-than-necessary dosages, Doctors are humans too, and may over-prescribe. Chronic pain rarely vanishes altogether with a snap of the fingers, maybe infrequently with some surgical intervention following recovery. Endorphins exist for a purpose, they allow your body to adapt to stress, and provide feedback on your physical well being, this is why paper cuts are a minor pain, and a limb being severed is overwhelming. This is why I liked the portrayal of the self harm scene.
@@kireibee4901 Unfortunately that's not how the human body works. Equilibrium is not maintained even if you remove both the pain and the pain medication at the same time. The reason for that, and why most of what you're saying here is incorrect, is the build up of tolerance. The longer you take opioid pain medication, the more resistant to it your body becomes, this happens through specific mechanics involving neurotransmitter receptors; I could get more in depth if you're interested. The longer a patient has been taking pain medication, the amount of medication they require generally goes up while their pain levels usually remains constant. You're really very incorrect in claiming that an "equilibrium" exists because the, using your terms, mechanism of compensation itself causes physical and chemical changes in your brain. Removing this suddenly, even if you remove the stimulus (the underlying pain being treated) with it, causes massive problems, AKA withdrawal.
@@austinp8172 Opioids are similar enough to the body's own pain relief chemicals, causing a negative feedback on the production of those chemicals. If you've been taking opioids long enough, the body won't be responding in a significant matter at all, because of the constant negative feedback that was provided. It might come back or it might have killed the natural response alltogether. Knew someone like that, if you bump into something, it aches a bit for a short time and you forget about it, as your body dealt with it already with the endorfins etc. However with that person it could persist far far longer, the pain from a simple bump against something that wouldn't even leave a bruise.
So many people have got addicted by taking doctors advice in fact 75% of all opiate addicts in the past 2decades started on prescription pain medication.
Whoever still uploading this clips , let them attain all happiness in the world
When he breaks his finger he almost has this sense of relief on his face as his adrenaline numbs his pain and his leg stops hurting, even if it's just for a few minutes.
3:18 The masseuse is so hot he even forgets he does speak Spanish
As someone who is chronically ill and has been for over a decade, a really relate to House's relationship with pain
I'm on season 7 now(first time watching) can't wait to rewatch it.
Yeah I feel you, I started watching 2016 when I was 14 & must have rewatched it atleast 4 solid times that I can recall rn. I try to rewatch random episodes when I dont know what I want to watch on tv when I eat but Ive memorized every plot & majority of the end Dx of each episodes LMAO
I envy you
Haha well I've watched the entire series 12 times now haha
.enjoy !
Have to say those some sequences of the show are painful none ever felt really stupid or pointless. The writers paid for everything with good writing and I enjoyed the ending of the show. It was satisfying and felt right.
everybody dies
I was on percocet for about a month after having my gallbladder removed when I was 13. I couldn't stand the way they made me feel but I was in so much pain I had no choice. As soon as I could I went off of them and the withdrawals felt like I had a bad flu for a week. If only taking a low dose of percocet for a month made me that sick after going off of them, I can't even comprehend how awful this must've been for House, and everyone on opiod painkillers for that matter.
This show was so ahead of it's time... and super on point with the timing it was beginning to take hold across so many house holds.
"not me I defend it, you got back" House is the GOAT lol
3:04 I love Wilson 😂
3:42 see that look? That's jealousy.
The difference is ones single and the other said 'I do'
Houses sacasm is just enough to not be off putting to me. Always puts a grin on my face
hugh is an amazing, fucking brilliant actor. he sells off the deeper intricate forms of psychology when his character deals mostly with physical aspects of health. it goes to show how easily he brought house to life; and we all know nobody couldve done it better.
“I was born in a long cabin in Illinois…”
I think part of him *wanted* to detox, like many who know they're suffering. And the challenge just gave him a reason to try
He’s come a long way from ‘a bit of fry and Laurie.’
That extra that's almost laughing in the elevator...
That would be me.
3:12 she defo heard that
A House without Vicodin is a House divided.
Okay but the fact that the owner of this account keeps posting new house vids all the time, THANK YOU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨
"The envious, jealous I never got any in high school kinda logic, Hello", Preach!! 😔😔😔
Okay but did anyone notice how not only was Chase staring at the masseuse the whole time too, but when he got up to leave, he bumped into the chair? 🤣🤣 What a nice touch!
Alternate Title: A container of Vicodin without House!
I was expecting House to sign up for a full week with that masseuse.
this is one of my favorite episodes of house
The way he says 'stat' is just too funny.
3:29
I'll have what he's having
Me too
Where does the line start?
1:42 "Pills don't make me high, they make me neutral"
Some studies suggest that acetaminophen make people experience less emotional distress, especially when administered in high amounts.
It turns out House wasn't hooked on opioids (hydrocodone) but on Paracetamol
You're playing around right? Cause those symptoms are classic opioid withdrawal.
This guy is right about acetaminophen causing reduced "existential dread". However, yes. This is classic hydrocodone withdrawal. (med student)
I was referring to his psychological dependence
I am playing around a bit... but give it some thought. He is physically dependent on hydrocodone and psychologically dependent on acetaminophen
@@universalrandomizer405 Both, if you watch the show you see many times he is severely hooked on opiates both mentally and physically. He likes to tell himself he's not mentally hooked on them, but he's in a denial and is clearly a very severe addict. We see him forge prescriptions, steal, and do many things that are classic addict behavior. Obviously he needs it for pain too, but it gets to the point where he becomes so addicted mentally it becomes just as much if not more of a mental addiction than a physical. Studies also show long term opiate use in some cases increase pain. People usually report a decrease in symptoms of pain after detoxing. House was probably in too much pain for that though. House was very far gone, he was all addicted to alcohol. We see his drinking problems in episodes too.
One of Houses most painful moments, without his vicodin he can't diagnosis patients properly, cause he distracted to the pain and it effects his judgement.
Also Chase is Right if House was sent home everytime is said something inappropriate, he would barley be in the hospital, and they wouldn't need the office
I might be wrong, and if I am feel free to completely ignore this comment but if English isn't your first language, and I'm guessing that English isn't your first language, I have a couple of things that I could see in your writing that were just a little bit off. Please don't take this as an insult, I honestly think that your English is amazing, however, that said I did see a couple of things that you may either, be confused about, or just not fully understand that I thought I would correct/ give you some advice/information on. And NO my sentence structure in this part is not one of them lol : )
1. Barely* is spelled that way (barley is a grain, like wheat)
2. Because* it isn't a mistake per say, as "cause", despite being slang is used relatively often while speaking English, but it does make you sound a bit immature in writing/typing.
3. This comment is two small things together... "cause he is* too* distracted by* the pain. (NOTE: if you want the sentence to flow properly you would put "too" before "distracted" rather than "to" after "distracted". This "Too" is used to describe things in excess, for example, "this is way too much food". This "To" on the other hand, is used to give direction to action for example if I were to say "I'm going" where would you be going? The sentence doesn't specify, but if you add "to" to the sentence you can make it much smoother. "Where are you going?" I am going to school" AS for "by", it just links that its "the pain" that "distracted" house)
3. I am assuming you meant "every time he* said something inappropriate"
4. This might be intentional by you but just in case it was you not fully understanding the language, I'll comment on it just to be safe. "One of House's most painful moments" this is based on the way you formed the sentence as a whole, another case of slang but its also one that, unlike number 2, is much more commonly seen in writing and in some sentences may not even be considered slang. For example "One of the best days I've ever had was-----" I didn't finish the sentence but hopefully you get the idea.
And that's it! I hope this was helpful! :) Your English is really really good if this is your second language... If it isn't.... oof lol, gl to you But if it is, you are seriously doing amazing, keep it up!
@big crunch Dude what? I was being nice, I keep seeing people that aren't from the US/UK and I thought I would offer some advice? What's the problem with that?
@@griffins5655 its either ure new to the internet or uve been living under a rock.
@@gapehorn2917 Ahh yes, I assumed that not everyone on the internet is fluent in English, saw multiple people throughout these House-clip comment sections that have mentioned English not being their first language and putting two and two together offered someone whom I've seen under a couple of videos some grammar advice. I can't wait to see how this decision to be kind means that I'm somehow either new, and therefore ignorant, or I'm just straight ignorant. Please explain because clearly, I'm a fucking idiot.
@@griffins5655 I think it's nice that you took the time to type out all that advice and encouragement to an internet stranger. It's pretty rare to see that amount of effort in the comments section of a TH-cam video, but the internet would be a better place if we all cared a little more about both grammar and civility! P.S. - don't forget the difference between "affect" (verb in this context) and "effect" (noun in this context)!
He does such a good job acting out the withdrawals, but there's not a decent Dr. that would encourage quitting cold turkey like that. The withdrawals can kill you and cause seizures, never mind the dehydration from puking and diarrhea, and the mental torment.
Opiate withdrawal is almost (if not completely) impossible to die from. Benzo and alcohol, yes alcohol, withdrawal can kill you though
Opiate withdrawal is subjectively the worst. On high doses people will feel like they're dying, and a lot of the time the misery is so extreme that they will be suicidal or want to die to escape the agonizing torture. Benzo and alcohol usually don't feel as bad compared to opiates, but objectively they are more dangerous and can potentially kill. Opiates don't kill by themselves, but they can cause dehydration which kills you, and in some cases people die if they have an underlying health condition during withdrawal, and if they're doing it at home instead of a medical setting that makes it more likely. Alcohol is the most dangerous if your suffering severe withdrawal with delirium tremors. Also can cause seizures along with benzos. That can potentially kill, which is why they always says its extra dangerous with alcohol to do at home. They always suggest being in a medical setting.
Like Yixdy wrote, it's not opiate withdrawal that causes seizures and death. It's benzo, alcohol and lyrica that can make that happend. Allthough you defenitley feel like you're gonna die when detoxing from opiates/opioids.
This show is one of the all time best.
I love house need another season ! I watch all the time like 😳
I am at season 7 & i already feel nostalgic 😔
it's soon going to end😭😭
Should i spoil the end?😈
Then wait a year or two, and watch it again. That's what I do with the shows, and even TH-cam series I watch. Like PewDiePie's Five Nights at Freddy's series I watched when I was fourteen, or Markiplier's Getting Over it I watched when I was 17 and addicted to Adderall. Or Rick and Morty Season 1-3 I watched when I was 19, also addicted to Adderall. You don't want to rewatch them TOO often or you'll memorize them. So wait as long as possible and watch them again when you've forgotten enough of it. And make sure to be an alcoholic so you can impair your memory to the fullest extent when you turn 21. It'll never be as good as when you first watched it, but it is like you said, an element of nostalgia.
@@AndT101 NOO! YOU MONSTER! DON'T. IT WON'T REALLY EFFECT ME BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW HOW THE SERIES ENDS, BUT DON'T BE A SPOIL BOI!
Everything good must come to an end, cherish the last two seasons even if you think they might be a bit slower than the others. I watched this show years ago and to this day I have yet to watch a show with so much interest and so much investment in the characters
The first team had always been split in their own unified way. Forman had little to no faith in House. Chase generally stood with House. And Cameron always had the middle ground.
I love that clinic duty is a bargaining chip in their hospital.
Noo, I love the clinic. It's filled with entertaining people that are suffering.
I can't imagine how much pain you'd have to go through that makes you sigh in a relief when you smash your hand with a pestle.
A musician would never break their own hand like that
Lol
Shoutout to the guy in the elevator that looks down when Cuddy walks in
5:16 "wont him so much that it will kill him and won't hurt him so little that we can't tell. Will hurt him just right".
There is an episode where house tells his story to other students. I remember reading a comment that said house did not got for amputation or prosthetics but he chose the middle ground. Feels really interesting to think about it
I was on pain meds from 2004-2020. At one point the docs had me on 150 mg of morphine and oxycodone a day. I moved to a new state last May, and the best thing that’s ever happened to me medically was to be taken off everything.
It was some of the roughest 3 months while my body adjusted (it’s still recalibrating), but I now know that I didn’t need all of that stuff. I’m hurting still, and there are a lot of health problems I’m going to be dealing with for the rest of my life, but at least these new doctors care about my health.
It's fine that they took you off them but they never should have made you go cold turkey.
There ya go. Opioids are good for short-term solutions. Not long-term, because the body adapts.
