You can tell House didn't want to call the time of death for a baby.
He said earlier in video he likes babies
@@samg873 anyone House doesn't hate, he likes to some extent. He's actually a big softie, just hates people seeing it so he hides it with snark, humour, and attitude.
@@lavans5721 like many softies
It's just a show 🙄
@@Nesterou I know it is, but the scenario does happen in real life.
In case anyone wants to know, the old lady as a volunteer who was passing out teddy bears was sick with a cold. she sniffed and touched her nose and then handled the teddy bear. thats how the virus is infecting the baby. Poor baby, just because the old lady is sick is causing baby deaths.
It actually wasn't a cold, it was a specific virus that causes a mild cough, the nose wipe was because when you cough some mucus can go into the nasal cavity instead of out of the mouth
There’s a rule that if you’re sick you aren’t allowed in the nicu
@@wadafefe the lady volunteer wasnt in the nicu. she was in the general floor handing out teddy bears infecting babies.
@@shermanhow1882 just adding to your comment, parents and other family/friends take them to the children in NICU.
@@tigerfang6063 RSV? My son almost passed from that, he got hit from his big brother at school
Chase's casual "we'll see you later" to the lady in labor is subtly hilarious
House: Hi
*takes newborn baby from parents*
House: bye
That's kristen stewart in Charlie's angels
I kept my baby away from people for 3 months, only 2 family members came to visit after getting a whooping cough shot. Don’t let people kiss your babies, it’s deadly.
I would do that if i have childern in the future. Its a great idea for 1-2 months to avoid the baby getting sick.
@@daniacalix7290 Yes absolutely, it also gives you so much peace of mind, some people can take it the wrong way especially older folks but you have to put your foot down.
I once read that babies don’t get adjusted being out of the womb up until they are 6 months old, so the world is shaky and noisy to them, yeah keep babies save
I got the flu shot when I was a kid and still got the flu, and I was a pretty healthy kid always running around. The times I didn’t get the flu was when I didn’t get the shot. Haven’t had any in years now and don’t get sick often, pretty seldom. I also try to get ample sun and take vitamins my body actually responds well to. Do your research regardless of what people tell you, base things off yourself. Life is a tricky game.
That’s absurd
I really love this episode for having a unique format compared to other episodes, alongside with the 'all hands on deck' moment when narrowing down the virus.
I really enjoyed that they used each other's knowledge and specialities in this episode, rather than just all being super doctors that know everything in most of the later episodes.
It really felt different, because there weren't miracles suddenly happening where the babies were saved while coding. It just showed the reality of a fragile baby getting sick, and its heartbreaking
@@TheCursedMonkChase, youre the intensivist, how many tests can we get from a baby?"
@@TheCursedMonkIdk, at the same time a virus seems common sense. I mean they even write it off earlier because it took hold too fast? Idk why that means it can’t be a virus, but whatever, it’s a show
Chase frantically yelling "charging" and "clear" over and over as he tries to defibrillate the baby, followed by House saying "CHASE... time of death: 6:57" is probably the saddest scene in this whole show
I wouldn’t say it’s number 1 but it’s easily up there. It’s even worse in the full episode where all the tension is built up more
On the rare occasions House is being serious, nobody listens to him. Probably because whenever other people are serious, he can't be arsed listening to them.
7:37 this part where they all work together to narrow down the viruses is strangely satisfying yet intense, as they are running out of time to save the babies. The teamwork makes me wanna contribute (even though I know jack about medicine lol)
thats one of the worst decisions a doctor has to make. choosing to sacrifice one to save the rest.
it's also a lawsuit just waiting to happen. House is damn lucky he's a main character of a fictional universe
@@zilesis1 sounded like a save them all or none, I'm no doctor but House usually catches wind of cases early and this was still a damned if you do/don't situation given he had that advantage of him being the main character
@@zilesis1 to be fair in a situation like this these types of decision made. In Covid Hospitals had to literally decide who would live or suffucate to death. Similar situation.
@berilsevvalbekret772 it's called natural selection, good to see it back a little.
@@Nesterou That's an incredibly insensitive thing to say. Not to mention inaccurate, since hospitals likely would've been able to save at least some of the patients who died if they weren't so overwhelmed.
In this episode I learnt that House's speciality is Nephrology, when Foreman said to him that he is the Nephrologist, he has to decide the medicine. At last, we get to know what's he specialist in.
In early episodes it has been told already that he is an int med m.d with double fellowship in infectious diseases and nephrology...
it's just an old lady going around the hospital coughing and touching teddybears than putting them near the babies. Someone had to lose their baby. She should be charged.
And this is why people get mad when parents don’t want people holding their baby,touching ,kissing their baby. This type of thing happens
@@piinkam0r yep then if the kid gets sick or dies your the bad parent or there’s no way their the one who made them sick 😒. My dad didn’t want anyone touching me when I was a baby and our relatives hated him and me for it. He did the right thing because I always got serious fevers when I was sick
@@shannarafryer3111 yes he did the right thing. I just couldn't believe that old woman no have better sense she have one cart full of teddybears and keep touching them with her sneeze and coughed on hands and touching the babies
That LADY WAS the reason a baby died So she should be charged
@Helen JayneC yes the show is just TV. However, this kind of stuff happens in real life all the time
I pray for anyone going through this situation these poor babies I hope anyone in this situation gets better and are blessed with good health
Yeah, but it's significantly better at this lifestage than anywhere else. Baby is still not self conscious, the least amount of social bonds formed and it only takes 9 months to get back to the same point. If you gotta lose your child you might as well do it right after they are born.
This episode broke me... it was so sad that the baby had to die... and the scene where House autopsied the baby... wrenching
This exact scenario happened on the hospital i was born on. My mom said there were a lot of newborns in there with me, and i was one of the lucky few who survived it. It's kind of crazy to think that i was supposed to be dead from the start, but i'm not
This show (and most medical shows) do tend to copy real medical stories. It's possible they took inspiration.
I'm glad you survived! Poor babies 🥺
I like how the Wilson actor commits suicide in dead poets society for being pushed to pursue medicine when he wants he is passionate about acting only to get a job as an actor where he has to play a doctor 😂
He was sad he didn't have House.
It's a small detail but I love how proud Chase looks after House asks for his opinion and takes it.
Ever since I saw the video I fell in love with it because house is my favorite doctor and I love how he speaks his mind and is smart enough to solve problems with medical issues
I got the mumps when I was an infant, I was given to a family for a few days when I was released from the hospital as my mom was still recovering from a severe case of toxemia. My dad just didn’t give a crap and gave me to them.
It was a miracle I lived, I did catch it and nearly die because of that.
I'm glad you survived!
6:44 - 6:50 poor Cameron felt so guilty since her assumption/suggestion doomed the lost baby.
(Kudos to Jennifer Morrison for the excellent acting).
For 8 years, the format of the show was that House could solve problems no one else could (because apparently he’s the only truly competent doctor in the entire hospital).
Yet they still resist listening to him! 😆😆
Isnt that the truth, the hospital turned down a 100 million dollar donation in order to keep House but still they dont listen
He killed a 2-day-old baby to prove his "point".
@@saraflint2982 Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice, I am willing to make.
@@saraflint2982 I wouldn't put it quite like that. He didn't 'kill' anyone - the disease the babies were suffering from killed the baby.
@@dmf1301 He guessed at what to do without certainty it would work. The virus wasn't his fault, but he pulled quite a rogue move.
i mean if you give them both the same treatment then they you have a 50/50 chance of them both dying. If giving different treatments then one you should find out what works saving way more with one casualty. its statistically far better odds. and if neither treatment works, then youve figured out 2 treatments wont work with one test
In terms of gaining information it's definitely the better choice, in terms of ethicality it's a bit weird. He's ensuring one baby dies by doing the logical thing. If he instead did the opposite there's a 50% chance no baby will die, but a 50% chance both babies will die. Statistically it's the same amount of babies surviving on average, but ethically it's giving a 50% chance of survival vs giving a 0% chance of survival.
thats true
That’s like saying oh this doctor only dropped 1% of 100 babies during their births. While that sounds low, that’s still dropping A NEWBORN BABY after birth. It doesn’t really matter about statistics when it’s something like that. I’m a logical person naturally so I was one to think like this too… until I had kids. Now I can see both sides. I’m not saying you are wrong, but you wouldn’t have the same opinion if you were the parent of the kid that died from the wrong treatment.
@@alyssamarie333 yes I would also never let this happen to my hypothetical children, I was just kinda thinking out loud. It's a very unethical test.
@@sweetea742 no I totally get that and while I feel one way, I still agree with you.
The most heartbreaking episode 😢
That mother is EXTREMELY calm, considering a perfect stranger barged into her hospital room and picked up her baby without her permission. I would have at least asked him what he thought he was doing.
She’s probably exhausted lmao
Doctor Mike would have alot to say about this episode if he were to watch this.
Ikr, infant cpr is a thing, get on those chest compressions
I think he did. The “chose which baby to die?!?” video, right?
@@rachell2172 That was the Good Doctor he watched.
I LOVE HIM!
@@zeroknight1311 Ah, thanks. It’s been a while since I watched any medical shows or Dr Mike videos:)
2:50
*woman giving birth*
Cameron: Oh, sorry, wrong room
Chase: We’ll see you later
Dammit, Chase, that was brilliant
This episode was a rollercoaster
something I really hate about shows that follow this type of story progression. House is arguably the most intellectual person in that hospital. The most intellectual person in the medical field PERIOD in that worlds story. However they repeatedly disregard his warnings time and time again. Other stories do that as a way to build suspense and a way to build an event and its stupid and asinine. I love House, but when stories progress because characters are not heeding the warnings of the person who is the defacto expert on the subject, who has on multiple occasions been proven right, its stupid.
"Character A - smartest tactician - in a war story" - Guys the enemy is planning to do this!!!
"Every other character" - NAAAAAH that sounds outrageous they would never. You are going crazy and senile. I don't care how many times you were right in the past or how many times I was completely mistaken, we will take my word that everything is fine while ignoring your complete legitimate warnings.
Hate this type of story telling because its just not believable. Still love House though.
To be fair...in most episodes House is wrong a lot of times before he gets it right
@@Lyquaria That's true. House never gets it right on the first try, even though he's onto something.
What you said is something that has happened and does happen in real life all the time. It's like when you give good advice and it doesn't get listened to. We all that one friend, or family member that does that.
@@Lyquaria .......i am conflicted with how right you are. That is 100% correct. I look at the 2 instances differently though. The show is House going by trial and error until he gets the answer.
However, that usually involves patients that other people can't diagnose. When it comes to figure out and pointing out other peoples mistakes, House is almost always right.
Not to mention he made a valid point that should have been considered. If Doctors are known to give that obstructed bowel as a blanket diagnoses then Cuddy should have considered that. I seriously doubt she didn't know it as being the deen.
I will concede your point though, still hate that type of story telling but you made a valid point.
At the very least he's the one person trying to solve these cases. In his words; they don't treat patients, they treat illnesses.
This was actually one of the better versions of than most they did here.
They are mad at House for random chance but without knowing what antibiotic is causing the failure and wanted to take them off one or the other… are the rest not proposing to do the VERY SAME THING!!!!
Isn't hospital policy to stay home or stay away when you're sick? That way, no one gets infected.
One would think! However at my last job, I ended up getting a worker's cold because, despite the OBVIOUS fact that she wasn't feeling well, she believed that she and everyone else had to suffer because she thought she'd be fired! While it's understandable to have that fear, it's even worse when you make everyone else sick and no one can work!
On paper yes. But reality speaking, and this isn't just for hospitals it's for practically all jobs, the bosses will force people to come in even if they are clearly sick. It happened a lot during Covid where hospitals forced doctors and nurses to come in even when they were sick due to the fact that the hospitals were overflowing with Covid victims among all the other usual stuff that happens in a hospital.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl I've always felt that if your biss pressures you to come into work when ill, you should do everything you can to limit contact woth coworkers, but spend as much time as possible in close quarters with your boss, breathe heavily, cough a lot.
@@kaytlinjustis5643My mom had the same belief and made me go when I was dying from the flu to work.
My supervisor was furious and ripped me a new one.
@@kaytlinjustis5643Maybe blame her superiors who allowed her to come in sick
2:15
“get up, were going hunting”
*confusion* “for what??”
“WABBITS”
Room full of Doctors and not a single one told Chase that's not how you defibrillate an infant.
And this is why ain’t no one going near my son unless they are healthy, masked and gloved up. And he ain’t leaving my side. May be paranoid being this will be my first kid but I ain’t risking anything.
How do the doctors doubt House at that point? he's always right...
This episode angered me to no end. To see that a poor baby died because some old lady wiped her nose on a teddy bear.
0:05 nahh 💀💀not the obvious plastic baby in the bed tho
What would happen to the old lady who infected the babies since she's a volunteer I can't see her being fired but she could be definitely sued but u imagine the hospital getting sued due to not noticing this old woman coughing and handing out stuff to babies.
Firing her would definitely not be out of the question.
A infant died because of her.
Chase’s “We’ll see you later” gets me every time
2:22 "Wabbits" Whattafudd! haha. House truly is a sensible killer.
What's crazy is that RSV is getting higher recently and due to COVID scares we sometimes don't catch it
People still caught RSV and the flu and everything else everyone was just too busy freaking out over a new cold that they never bothered to test for anything else
These early House episodes were by far the best.
I really love the team work in this episode
House,Foreman,Chase,Cameron,Cuddy and Wilson
Great show stay safe yall
I think this show is when the misconception of antibiotic for treating viruses is still on... giving antibiotic to these cases actually makes things worse (like the dead baby in this video) and contribute to "Antimicrobial Resistance" in the future.
Such practices has now been ceased, and patients are given medicines to alleviate their symptoms, while antibiotics are reserved for more serious cases!
It's 2004, give or take. The premise of the show is how these doctors treat their patients with bizarre illnesses while flouting the law here & there. It couldn't happen in the real world, so we should let it sink in the fictional one.
@@ammarharith5512 hmm i disagree.. Saw doctors treating with similar way house does... Breaking rules...
You clearly missed the part before they started listing viruses where house says they had plenty of reasons to think this infection was bacterial hence their usage of antibiotics until after they got the autopsy results.
None of them are pediatric nurses. This would never happen.
??that's kinda obvious, House is a specialist that handles cases that people can't normally solve, pull in the idea that he'll literally steal cases and is a legitimate criminal with his actions. If this happened in real life the hospital would face a massive liability?
@@Kas_PoseExcept this case was a pretty basic viral infection
@@DeathnoteBB House's department is Diagnostic Medicine. Its all well knowing a baby has a virus, but working out which one is not easy, in all cases doctors try the obvious treatment and await cultures in the meantime to confirm. In this case, awaiting those results meant deaths, so House went with the windmills. IRL all those babies would have died.
You could see how much doctor house was affected by all of this, and it’s sad
A baby died because someone wouldn’t stay home while they were sick
The House/Wilson dialogue is legendary as always
the two women makes me so sad. imagine the process and time they had to go through to have a kid, just to have the kid taken away
back when house was actually good. season 1-2-3 had the best writing no doubt
Excuse you. House was always great. It was defiitnely less medical drama after season 3 but it was still pretty good
not in my opinion, friend. season 4 and onwards had way too much childish innuendo.@@TheExeption
@@TheExeption It became more about House than the medicine, true, but luckily he was a hypnotic character and I think we all enjoyed the journey.
I was hoping he would return as a janitor in a Mexican hospital who the Mexican doctors turn to when they get stumped, as his inspiration to become a doctor was when he was in Japan and he witnessed the Japanese doctors seeking out the help of an "untouchable" to solve a case.
Makes you wonder why they don't keep frozen donor breastmilk that contains antibodies of all those pathogens.
Find volunteer mothers that happen to have antibodies to all the given pathogens, store the breastmilk, distribute in the event where kids are dying of pathogens where their birth mothers do not have immunity that they can give to their own children.
I don’t think that’s how it works.
@@Ba-kt6ju Why not? First 6 months of life the baby is protected by the breastmilk antibodies, right? If that's the case, just store the breastmilk of vaccinated women.
@moccomocco the women have to breastfeed their own kids. They don't necessarily have extra breast milk to spare. It can be difficult to use a pump to get breast milk. They can be painful to use. They might not produce extra milk. I understand that there are breast milk banks, but there are definitely not as many as there are blood banks.
Normally, im the guy thats like "let us just enjoy a fictional show." But come on. The defibrillator on a baby????
5:36 House's Jack Bauer moment.
Always bugged me how dismissive Cuddy was of House. Like he's right so often, you could at least humor him a little bit instead of entirely writing him off.
I cant believe he willingly let someone die like that, especially a newborn!
I was expecting him to have a backup plan to save the newborn that would have the wrong meds!
yeah life is not rainbows and sunshine you figured it out !
Dr house “Hi. Bye,”
Gotta love how wrong cuddy is almost most of the time
It's tragic when a person dies. A baby? Yeah...turn that up to 11.
No. Losing a loved one is equally tragic to the people involved. We're just conditioned to "all the feels" when it's babies. This wouldn't have been better for the parents if it was 17 year old Sheila who enjoys knitting and sports. Or better for said Sheila if it was her dad who was the one to die...
9:00 the healthy kid’s parents are in for a surprise when their insurance company denies the tests
gotta love that by testing all those kids at the start, house and his team probably could've infected every child on the second floor
and how could that have happened exactly?
Anyone know why the babies have a metal-looking heart on their chests in the first scene? Is it some sort of monitor?
Nobody had to die, they could've taken one baby off one treatment, so there'd be a 50% chance that everyone survives
So it's a typhoid mary kind of case
No because Typhoid Mary was a carrier-no observable symptoms
@@jillnelson8746 that's why he said "kind of". It's an acceptable statement to make given what was presented.
It's pretty close.
What I can’t grasp is how House is completely right 90% of the time (99% in the end) and yet people try to defy him at every opportunity, no matter how much the patient risks should he be even remotely correct (which he usually is).
Because he's wrong 2-3 times every episode before he's right.
Plot
honestly. imo, its that house trusts his workers to do their job. and that theyre the best. thats why he split the 2 babies treatments to figure out how each would react
he just couldn't say that because omg pressure.
first time a doctor's handwriting that I was able to understand... 🙂
Which only shows, he isn't a real doctor 😂
1:12 Did Wilson just try to bribe house with Tevo? Been so long i can’t even remember how to spell it
I always learn something watching this show.
So... doubting the head of infectious diseases is the right call? Why even employ the role? Cuddy killed that child plain and simple. Not just endangering countless other children. I never liked cuddy as a character.
house is the sherlock holmes of the Medical world
And he would later get shot by a former patient with the last name Moriarity.
Well, yeah. House, Ho(l)me(s). Wilson, Watson. It's a deliberate reference.
The handwriting is impressive.
Is Chase both a surgeon and an intensivist? Seems like a weird combo
Surgeons are experts in surgical pathogens potentially infecting wounds post-op
They’re all surgeons, neurologists, anesthesiologists, etc. in these TV shows
I know that the dead baby is only a puppet but still, is not something that I can see. And yes, specially in real life
If he hadn't done it all the kids would have died.
House is wearing the Walter White fit in the beginning
Hi dr house 😊
Wouldn't this be unethical??
This would be something an ethics board would usually need to review and approve, it could be approved as ethical if there were zero other options, it’s the old if you’re on a train and on the course you’re on right now it’s going to run over 6 people, but if you pull the lever it’ll change course and instead run over 1 person, act and condemn someone, don’t act and condemn several, never an easy question and it’s something that would in the real world be heavily evaluated
@@blueyes6474 Which gets even better, when there is no time for the usual due diligence. It wouldn't be exactly ethical, to call ethics board, so they can discuss the necessity of potentially or outright unethical choice, if, as a result of the delay, the worse outcome were to manifest. And here is the kicker. Say ethics committee were called in this case and as result of them talking for hours, both kids died. The committee wouldn't face anything, meanwhile if House went ahead without consent from the committee, he could lose his license due to ethics violation.
Dr. House isn't big on ethics.
If i was house i would've been furious with cuddy. Like I WARNED YOU
Wilson is the only doctor that doesn't make me wanna commit homicide in this show.
whatever that means
Sus af
No because why did I say “..and baby out.” After the baby died 😭
There's only TWO antibiotics they can use?? In reality couldn't they just switch them all to a third type of antibiotics? It wouldn't be ideal but it would be a solution. Asking the pediatricians in the comments lol
I'm no pediatrician but even if there is a miracle antibiotic for them I doubt house and the crew wouldn't have already considered that option. After all house seemed pretty broken up having to commend one of those children to death.
You’re asking for a drug that won’t impact the kidneys? Doesn’t exist
Introducing a third antibiotic to the situation is a complete toss up. Very likely could make things worse
And this is why breast feeding is so essential. Since babies are born with an immune system that is pretty much level zero, the colostrum that comes out before the breast milk is filled with antibodies that gives your baby a fighting chance against world of bacteria. And the defense breast milk offers doesn't just stop at the colostrum. It continues throughout the breastfeeding term up until your child is ready for solids. Not only does breast milk protect your child from getting deathly ill, it also aids in healthy cognitive, and physical development. If your baby doesn't latch, that's fine, you can still pump. If your milk doesn't come in, and medications aren't working, then I suggest looking into breast milk donation supply or hiring a healthy wet nurse which is still a thing.
The benefits of breast milk on a newborn really can't be overstated.
Only House would find babies to be more easier than adults or kids.
He has said that patients don't bother him until they get teeth.
Hardest one to watch yet.
Flipping a coin sounds pretty damn reasonable to me…
But where were the chest compressions???????????????????????????
God this almost made me tear up.
2:17😅
😢 6:39
Please Doctors Help the Babys 👶 l Feel sad 😔 For Them
Is this a case of parents/mothers not being vaccinated, and the results coming back to kill their infants?
No, it was an elderly volunteer who was delivering teddy bears to the hospital for the pediatric ward. She had a virus that came with a cough and a runny nose, wiped with her hands, and never took the time to wash them.
2:18 big chungus reference, figured you should be aware
Too short too short 😅
I don’t get why they couldn’t give both babies the same antibiotics. They treat it as a trial, one works the other doesn’t. They are guaranteed a death. If they gave both the same antibiotics there is a risk, either both die or both live (either the antibiotics are the right choice or not) You’d put both babies on the line but you wouldn’t be giving up on either
Probably to save time they didn't have. If they give the same medicine to both of the baby what if it doesn't work? What then? Besides, it's an epidemic. They're trying to save lives by sacrificing one.
If you gave both the same:
50%×50%=25% at the two surviving
The other one is a 50% shot at one of the babies surviving, it's a better rate to have at least one life safe
However, given what we know after the end of the show, the other baby was going to die no matter what
I realize the same thing every episode in most cases house is right but no one believes him
This episode should have ended Cameron's career. What she did is wrong on so many levels.
💔
House is right !!! Different treatment will show what antibiotic killing the baby’s
Hahaha 😆 the iv about I'm on all the time
