I subscribe to the notion of realistic expectations and outlook on reality. The overwhelming majority of people are morally lazy, and if correctly prompted, are capable of some truly heinous stuff. Believing that everyone is good is settling yourself up to be bitterly disappointed and unlike you, I don’t like disappointment. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I believe in second chances in certain situations, but people normally don’t do what’s right, they do what seems easy.
I’m a cynical realist and I believe that inherently humans are selfish. There are many who perform selfless acts, some more than others, but deep down everyone is selfish and therefore I’m never disappointed when people act as I expect them to.
I remember being tested for HIV as a young child after science realized it could be passed through blood transfusion. I had surgery for a birth defect at 24 hours old and required a transfusion. I don't remember being scared probably because I didn't really understand. I was negative and where my mom worked went on to be one of many medical research teams throughout the world that eventually found the combination of medicine that keeps HIV from turning into AIDS
That's amazing, she sounds like a driven woman. It's also one of the diseases that, out of nowhere, went from a death sentence to, if not curable, absolutely manageable with the work of scientists like your mother, within just a few decades of it appearing.
I had one in the ones too after receiving g blood (just after or around when that young boy with hemophilia died from AIDS because of a transfusion. He was the one that shared his story with the world before he died, and eventually got the government to start testing all donated blood for it (and other diseases). I remember hearing his funeral was televised ( I was too young to watch/I imagine mu parents didn’t want me to…but remember Michael Jackson performed at his funeral etc. I believe it was one of the first funerals Westboro Baptist also protested it. If it want his it was a child. With a similar story and a similar church). I didn’t realize either, I was told it was a “checkup” …but it both scared, and scarred, the hell out of my parents (and those tests took several weeks to run back then-you don’t get the result in a day…neither slept very much. I remember my grandmother sending them a new coffee maker and had several cousins and relatives that nuts “happened to visit”). As an adult, I cannot even imagine how stressful that must have been. To mark matters worse, I caught mono at the time and was sick/l very sick/ had a rash (both early symptoms of full blown AIDS).
Oh my, I can't even imagine how utterly terrified your parents had to have been. And I can't imagine how monumental their relief must have been when the test results finally came back (that early on it would not have been a fast test). I was a kid in the 80s, when people didn't know anything about it. Didn't know how it spread, only that it was a death sentence. And back then, everything was so much slower. You think the rumors and disinformation is bad now, back then it was literally all there was even if you were somehow following the journals and reading the latest research. I absolutely love the time I grew up in, to be able to watch the development of things to the point where now, I had been following a podcast called This Week In Virology since around 2009 and I knew from them that a new and deadly coronavirus was coming by the end of January 2020, months before the first case even hit US shores. Sure rumors and misinfo spreads faster, but the people actually working on things and pursuing the science are able to communicate instantly, and openly, so the only real limit is if you are curious enough and know to pursue primary sources - something that wasn't even remotely possible back then.
All "3" of you are lying. I believe all previous comments came from the same person. Because all three of you are lying and missing very obvious facts about HIV AIDS. You sir are a liar

You are right, but also wrong and misleading. Toxoplasmosis is the name of the disease, which is caused by the species Toxoplasma gondii. Indeed, this species is not a fungus, but an apicomplexan protozoan (of the Phylum Apicomplexa). But it is a parasite, and there are many parasitic fungi species too.

@@PRubin-rh4sr as someone who is no stranger to hospitals, I watch medical dramas purely for entertainment value. I rarely consider that something in a medical drama is genuine medical fact. My comment was purely because of the acting, the writing and the interactions between the characters.
I kind of find it funny that they talk about how unlikely there'll ever be a black president, implying that it will be far in the future, but this episode came out in 2004, we got a black president 4 years later.
This episode was most definitely somewhat inspired by Obama and the mid 2000s discourse on Nom white presidents. In 2003-2004 when this episode would have been written and made Obama was already a rising star in the Democratic Party, currently a Illinois senator running to be a US senator during this time frame and was pinned as a potential future president for the 2008 election
I saw this episode so many years ago and to this day there are two quotes that have stuck with me. "I would rather think that people are good and be disappointed once and again." The other isn't on this clip, but "you think the only way to make a difference is to win every fight?", meaning just because you didn't win doesn't mean you lost.
With how tumed in House and his team are to extremely rare diseases and conditions, it always surprised me how they would never consider any other causes than AIDS when a patient has a compromised immune system. They always insist upon AIDS until it's almost too late
True, but one thing the show focuses on is that everybody lies. People with or at risk of HIV are more likely to lie about it because of the stigma. Nobody at risk of leukemia has a reason to lie about it but someone with a heroin problem can still look you right in the eye and tell you they've never done drugs.
I mean AIDS stands for Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome. I'm not a doctor, but it's possible that they use that term as a catch-all for "Your immune system was fine, now it's fucked"
@@dars5229 Another huge recurring theme in House seems to be people being entirely unaware of their condition as well though. There's lying, and then there's straight up not knowing, which pretty much seem to be equal throughout the series. Makes it seem like they don't learn much from these cases
It gets brought up less in later seasons, but in the beginning it was well established House's patients come to him when all other doctors cannot figure it out, so most of the time while it seems like they ignore the obvious stuff, its because the obvious stuff shouldnt have showed up on their table.
I've always enjoyed Dr. House and it's nice to see the show's clips still so popular. I never saw this episode, and I don't know enough about medicine to comment on whether any of Dr. House's other episodes are realistic but I can say with complete certainty that this episode is total nonsense. You can have the parasite in your brain without having AIDS. My daughter was born an undiagnosed toxo baby. After her 2nd birthday, when her symptoms kicked in, the doctors surmised that her mom got infected by gardening in infected soil without gloves (she must have had a small unnoticed cut). We had recently moved to a tropical country in Central America four months before our daughter was conceived. We had no pets, just two friends who owned only dogs, and with our business just starting up, we weren’t dining out. The funny thing is, if we had waited 12 months after the infection before conceiving our daughter, she would have been fine. Of course, there was no way to know about the infection as it has no symptoms for healthy people. It affects babies differently from adults owing to their underdeveloped immune system. The brain deals with it, without drugs, by encasing the parasite in calcium. You get these tiny calcified balls which irritate the surrounding tissue and sometimes enough to cause regular seizures later in life. The seizures can be reduced to irregular bouts by taking anti-seizure meds like Trileptal or more often with two types of anti-seizure meds taken 2 to 3 times daily. Untreated, the child develops hydrocephalus as the cerebrospinal fluid cannot drain owing to the calcium build-up also blocking certain ventricles. The cure, for that particular issue, is to place a shunt inside the skull and run a tube under the scalp down the neck, chest and into the stomach. The parasite can also destroy the retina. Fortunately, my daughter only lost sight in one eye.
Yes, BABIES can have toxo in the brain without having AIDS. That's why pregnant women are testes to thoroughly for toxo. However, you might notice the senator was not a baby, hence the immediatey assumption that he had AIDS. = P
No. You're discrediting the idea in the scene based on an experience that seems similar. Their reasoning was solid. Their testing methods well established. They factored in all of the relevant evidence.
The fact that the senator thought House assumed the worst when he accused him of being gay speaks volumes. Homosexuality is the worst thing to him, so his denial is supercharged.
Like he could have never received a bad transfusion or slept with a woman, bc woman can't carry it or spread it. It does show his belief system about the disease and he is not far off from most senators and congressmen even nowadays.
@@ProgThoughts But he was lying, even in the face of a deadly diagnosis in this episode. He lied or else they would have figured out what was wrong with him before he was on his death bed with a pressurized air mask and House has to pull it off of him and make him feel like he is dying from not being able to breathe to get the truth from him. HE DID LIE IN THE FACE OF A DEATH!!! HOUSE WAS RIGHT!!!
@@blackdandelion5549 I don't remember the episode too well. But if I remember correctly, it had something to do with the injury he got on his tongue, which was a story he told Foreman and House thought he was lying. Instead he was telling the truth.
@@ProgThoughts He said that he fell off his bike and basically bit his tongue and it gave him a speech impediment to get over in his youth at approx 6 yrs old. The Truth he finally tells House on his Death Bed when House takes his Oxygen away and I mean he is literally dying. . . . and still kept his lies up. . . . . .he didn't "fall" off his bike. He had seizures as a child and took meds to deal with his seizures. It was during a seizure he bit his tongue. After taking meds and being stable for several years in his childhood he stopped taking the medications for seizures. House was right that everyone lies and this was a lies that almost cost him his life even when a doctor can't tell your personal medical history. There was no reason not to tell House or any of the doctors he didn't "fall off" his bike. It was a lie and having good insurance because he wasn't raised "in da hood" like house said so his family got him diagnosed and treated for seizures and his speech issues right away.
0:58 Dr. House is playing a Generation I Nintendo DS, and yet there's a portion of the powerup sound effect from the NES game "Super Mario Bros." blended in with other random sound effects from other video games not exclusive to the Nintendo DS, and the sound quality isn't even close to resembling the DS speaker's quality. It sounds like the producers just gave him some random game console as a prop and threw a few random sounds together with little to no effort.
Dont they rutinely test for HIV in the US when you are admitted to the hospital? I have been hospitilized twice, and they always draw blood at admission to test for HIV and I think something else, like hepatitis, there were 3 vials. And here they did a surgery on him and did not even check for blood transmitted deseases?
That's a weak point I noticed in many episodes - having to go back and do routine blood tests that should have been done initially in any normal hospital.
Depends on your signs and symptoms and depends on the doctor. I dont think these bloodborne diseases are routinely done. Perhaps a CBC would be routine and you go from there based on its results.
HIV tests are not routinely done unless specifically asked for, as they have to be analyzed in a separate way from other diseases. HIV has a long incubation period, too, so it at that point took longer to figure out in the lab than the other viruses and such.
When I was a kid, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. The nurse hit my knee 11 times and I had no reaction. On the twelfth I faked it.... I'm ok, I think? LOL
Why does this episode seem like it has more medical mistakes than usual? For one, the knee jerk reflex is a somatic reflex which bypasses the brain entirely. So a failure to respond to that test does not indicate a brain issue. Second, toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan parasite (toxoplasma gondii), not a fungus.
"Toxoplasmosis is a fairly common fungus", hate to be that guy, but: 1) Toxoplasmosis is the name of the disease, not the organism that causes it; 2) 'Toxoplasma gondii', the causer of toxoplasmosis, is a protozoan, not a fungus; 3) You can't be infected by just "touching cat feces", you need to ingest the parasites cysts that are present in said feces; 4) I was lying when I said I "hate to be that guy", as I've spent the last 2 minutes writing this comment for a brief sense of superiority over a medical shows writers.
I think the message of this season is that Billionaires should not exist. "his" money should have been taken as taxes and given to the hospital without him getting anything in exchange.

I kind of find it funny that they talk about how unlikely there'll ever be a black president, implying that it will be far in the future, but this episode came out in 2004, we got a black president 4 years later.
This episode was most definitely somewhat inspired by Obama and the mid 2000s discourse on Nom white presidents. In 2003-2004 when this episode would have been written and made Obama was already a rising star in the Democratic Party, currently a Illinois senator running to be a US senator during this time frame and was pinned as a potential future president for the 2008 election
Literally the next election cycle lmao
Joe Morton is truly a brilliant and captivating actor!!
For the record Toxoplasma is not a fungi, it's a protozoan.
I saw this episode so many years ago and to this day there are two quotes that have stuck with me. "I would rather think that people are good and be disappointed once and again." The other isn't on this clip, but "you think the only way to make a difference is to win every fight?", meaning just because you didn't win doesn't mean you lost.
The "you must had missed it" was the best moments
isn't this the dude that dies in one of the terminator movies, shows him taking his last breaths?
Michael Eric Dyson
I always love watching Joe Morton. The man puts in a great performance no matter the role.
Joe Morton is awesome
Oh! The patient was in Terminator 2! Well, his death in that was pretty definitive.
Had no idea this was a new video!
hello everyone ! have a nice day/night !
Thank you so much for not just saying 'first'. It's so refreshing
You too!
No, I refuse
Thx, you too ❤
With how tumed in House and his team are to extremely rare diseases and conditions, it always surprised me how they would never consider any other causes than AIDS when a patient has a compromised immune system. They always insist upon AIDS until it's almost too late
True, but one thing the show focuses on is that everybody lies. People with or at risk of HIV are more likely to lie about it because of the stigma. Nobody at risk of leukemia has a reason to lie about it but someone with a heroin problem can still look you right in the eye and tell you they've never done drugs.
I mean AIDS stands for Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome. I'm not a doctor, but it's possible that they use that term as a catch-all for "Your immune system was fine, now it's fucked"
*tuned
@@dars5229 Another huge recurring theme in House seems to be people being entirely unaware of their condition as well though. There's lying, and then there's straight up not knowing, which pretty much seem to be equal throughout the series.
Makes it seem like they don't learn much from these cases
It gets brought up less in later seasons, but in the beginning it was well established House's patients come to him when all other doctors cannot figure it out, so most of the time while it seems like they ignore the obvious stuff, its because the obvious stuff shouldnt have showed up on their table.
I've always enjoyed Dr. House and it's nice to see the show's clips still so popular. I never saw this episode, and I don't know enough about medicine to comment on whether any of Dr. House's other episodes are realistic but I can say with complete certainty that this episode is total nonsense. You can have the parasite in your brain without having AIDS.
My daughter was born an undiagnosed toxo baby. After her 2nd birthday, when her symptoms kicked in, the doctors surmised that her mom got infected by gardening in infected soil without gloves (she must have had a small unnoticed cut). We had recently moved to a tropical country in Central America four months before our daughter was conceived. We had no pets, just two friends who owned only dogs, and with our business just starting up, we weren’t dining out. The funny thing is, if we had waited 12 months after the infection before conceiving our daughter, she would have been fine. Of course, there was no way to know about the infection as it has no symptoms for healthy people.
It affects babies differently from adults owing to their underdeveloped immune system. The brain deals with it, without drugs, by encasing the parasite in calcium. You get these tiny calcified balls which irritate the surrounding tissue and sometimes enough to cause regular seizures later in life. The seizures can be reduced to irregular bouts by taking anti-seizure meds like Trileptal or more often with two types of anti-seizure meds taken 2 to 3 times daily. Untreated, the child develops hydrocephalus as the cerebrospinal fluid cannot drain owing to the calcium build-up also blocking certain ventricles. The cure, for that particular issue, is to place a shunt inside the skull and run a tube under the scalp down the neck, chest and into the stomach. The parasite can also destroy the retina. Fortunately, my daughter only lost sight in one eye.
Yes, BABIES can have toxo in the brain without having AIDS. That's why pregnant women are testes to thoroughly for toxo.
However, you might notice the senator was not a baby, hence the immediatey assumption that he had AIDS. = P
No. You're discrediting the idea in the scene based on an experience that seems similar. Their reasoning was solid. Their testing methods well established. They factored in all of the relevant evidence.
4:30 i remember crying laughing at this.
“Someday there will be a black president” House predicting the future
actually, even more precise: "maybe someday there will even be a gay black president..." !
@@ToThePureAllThingsArePureamerica's not ready for that. They still cant vote in a honest, good person.
Yes, a gay black president

Well at least in this timeline he still wont live long enough to invent Skynet and the Terminators 🤷♂️

You know it must be scary to see a doctor who was berating you and openly goofing off change to a serious demeanor at a moments notice.
Like the late George Carlin said garbage in and garbage out!! This is the best we can do....
He will always be Miles Dyson to me.
is that a cross-country vacuum cleaner?
@@Dvpainteryou ever seen Terminator 2?
@@thedarkninja2000 an eon ago
Wow😮 They don't call it the white house because of the paint job😂😂😂
8:15 Helluva prediction.
I don't think toxoplasma is a fungus.
also it's definitely a malpractice telling a patient he has something you haven't tested for yet
Don't let that patient out, he's responsible for Skynet
This is the guy that's responsible for Skynet
lol i knew i remembered his face from somewhere!!
Denial is a river in Egypt
AIDS is the only condition you cant blood test for without consnet . Anything else you can do aside form inavisve procedures
Should I be worried that I used to pretend to move my leg as a kid whenever they did that? I only thought that's what we were supposed to do....
awesome episode and acting
Cant go wrong with House on a sauce afternoon
"Sauce" afternoon?
It’s not a fungi , it’s a protozoan unicellular organism…
The fact that the senator thought House assumed the worst when he accused him of being gay speaks volumes. Homosexuality is the worst thing to him, so his denial is supercharged.
Like he could have never received a bad transfusion or slept with a woman, bc woman can't carry it or spread it. It does show his belief system about the disease and he is not far off from most senators and congressmen even nowadays.
That's not even close. He thought House assumed the worst in him that he was lying even in the face of a deadly diagnosis.
@@ProgThoughts But he was lying, even in the face of a deadly diagnosis in this episode. He lied or else they would have figured out what was wrong with him before he was on his death bed with a pressurized air mask and House has to pull it off of him and make him feel like he is dying from not being able to breathe to get the truth from him. HE DID LIE IN THE FACE OF A DEATH!!! HOUSE WAS RIGHT!!!
@@blackdandelion5549 I don't remember the episode too well. But if I remember correctly, it had something to do with the injury he got on his tongue, which was a story he told Foreman and House thought he was lying.
Instead he was telling the truth.
@@ProgThoughts He said that he fell off his bike and basically bit his tongue and it gave him a speech impediment to get over in his youth at approx 6 yrs old.
The Truth he finally tells House on his Death Bed when House takes his Oxygen away and I mean he is literally dying. . . . and still kept his lies up. . . . . .he didn't "fall" off his bike. He had seizures as a child and took meds to deal with his seizures. It was during a seizure he bit his tongue. After taking meds and being stable for several years in his childhood he stopped taking the medications for seizures. House was right that everyone lies and this was a lies that almost cost him his life even when a doctor can't tell your personal medical history. There was no reason not to tell House or any of the doctors he didn't "fall off" his bike. It was a lie and having good insurance because he wasn't raised "in da hood" like house said so his family got him diagnosed and treated for seizures and his speech issues right away.
"Tumors are good for brains, makes them grow big and strong."
0:58 Dr. House is playing a Generation I Nintendo DS, and yet there's a portion of the powerup sound effect from the NES game "Super Mario Bros." blended in with other random sound effects from other video games not exclusive to the Nintendo DS, and the sound quality isn't even close to resembling the DS speaker's quality. It sounds like the producers just gave him some random game console as a prop and threw a few random sounds together with little to no effort.
I love this type of comment
It's Charles Bennet Dyson from Terminator 2 who created the processor for Skynet.
1:55 ..and the reason House and team took so long diagnosing him was because he lied about the tounge lol
Dont they rutinely test for HIV in the US when you are admitted to the hospital?
I have been hospitilized twice, and they always draw blood at admission to test for HIV and I think something else, like hepatitis, there were 3 vials.
And here they did a surgery on him and did not even check for blood transmitted deseases?
That's a weak point I noticed in many episodes - having to go back and do routine blood tests that should have been done initially in any normal hospital.
Depends on your signs and symptoms and depends on the doctor. I dont think these bloodborne diseases are routinely done. Perhaps a CBC would be routine and you go from there based on its results.
HIV tests are not routinely done unless specifically asked for, as they have to be analyzed in a separate way from other diseases. HIV has a long incubation period, too, so it at that point took longer to figure out in the lab than the other viruses and such.
Toxoplasma gondii isn't a fungus, it's protozoan.
Hey it's engineer guy from T2!
Eli Pope? Is that you?
I wonder what skynet would say to this
How does the episode end
TOXOPLASMOSIS IS NOT A FUNGUS FFS IT IS A PROTOZOAN PARASITE
Is this a prologue for Papa Pope?!
When I was a kid, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. The nurse hit my knee 11 times and I had no reaction. On the twelfth I faked it.... I'm ok, I think? LOL
He'd have a phlibotomist draw the blood.
Why does this episode seem like it has more medical mistakes than usual? For one, the knee jerk reflex is a somatic reflex which bypasses the brain entirely. So a failure to respond to that test does not indicate a brain issue. Second, toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan parasite (toxoplasma gondii), not a fungus.
IT'S A RIVER IN EGYPT!
Toxoplasmosis is NOT a fungi. It is a parasite. Wow,…. I am quite disappointed in this episode.
Parasite doesn't tell us if it if a fungi, virus or bacteria.
How did he survive that explosion at cyberdyne?
Simple. He got recruited to work in Eureka.
He didn't, he was replaced by a terminator
Different timeline. See the Sarah Connor Chronicles for details, or both of the Terminator movies.
"Toxoplasmosis is a fairly common fungus", hate to be that guy, but:
1) Toxoplasmosis is the name of the disease, not the organism that causes it;
2) 'Toxoplasma gondii', the causer of toxoplasmosis, is a protozoan, not a fungus;
3) You can't be infected by just "touching cat feces", you need to ingest the parasites cysts that are present in said feces;
4) I was lying when I said I "hate to be that guy", as I've spent the last 2 minutes writing this comment for a brief sense of superiority over a medical shows writers.
And I want to thank you for reminding me not to eat cat feces.
I think the message of this season is that Billionaires should not exist. "his" money should have been taken as taxes and given to the hospital without him getting anything in exchange.
But toxoplasmosis is not caused by a fungus. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoa
@8:19 prophetic
Remember this guy was in Terminator 2?
Hey, that's aint the guy who invented Skynet?
Miles bennit dyson from T2, oh my god,😮😮😮
I like senator’s perspective on life but I’ve become more like house: assuming people are bad and on occasion I’m proven😊 wrong
6:42 WHAT
I always hated the tongue zoom. Very none-house.
"They don't call it the White house because of the paint job". He missed that call.
Hey that’s the guy from the Terminator!
This man NEEDs to survive to destroy Skynet and save the world!
"You're not going to be president either way. They don't call it the White House for a reason." Yup, this was definitely filmed before 2008 lol
This channel has posted about this black politician a few times, but it's always the same scenes.
How does this episode end?
@5:10, since when a toxoplasma became a fungus?
It's amazing that Miles Bennet Dyson was able to turn his life around after blowing up Cyberdyne.
I love you Lord. May God bless the reader.
Oddly nailed the gay black president part... what year was this episode aired originally?
Obama isnt gay tho
Didnt Miles Bennett Dyson blow himself up?
*B-b-b-brain-damaged*
he's a presidential candidate but he's going on a trip to Congo? yeah no that wouldn't happen during a campaign...
