that actually makes sense, I was wondering why a guy who faked a lost voice so he could sue, would then come back, let alone not sue after getting a random needle jabbed into his throat

@@ew6483 I think all that matters is the result. House knows the medicine can do him any harm. When it comes to medicine and curing someone pain, consent is like the last thing that is needed
This is a cool scene because I think it says that House only cares about if he has solved the patient's problem, rather than if something is right or wrong. He wants to know that he solved the problem and that there is no problem that he can not solve. Once he knows that he is satisfied, and couldn't care less about the crime that this person is committing.
God I really hope you don't base your morality on what a government says is a crime You'll be killing kids next time a war happens because they're gay or something. Learn the merits of critical thinking, please.
Yeah, thats ignoring their years of staunch neutrality, before they began supplying China, the Soviet Union and England with war supplies, with the general population split between specific individuals volunteering, and other individuals opposing that and supporting hitler. And then they joined the war in late '41, many people fought and died and the extent of what that Hitler chap was up to become too public. So those elements of the population and the America first attitude tended to be quietly retconned out of existence. For obvious reasons. :P Sadly they're still around.
Usa came in last second when everyone was exhausted, like letting 2 people fight till they're basically just slapping eachother, you come in and just punch one guy out and scream "it was me I won the fight!" It was good that the US joined, but to try and take full credit is just pathetic.
I asked my torts professor about this this morning. Even if, as the scene suggests, this man is completely cured of his vocal cord paralysis, he's entitled to the money he received in the settlement. He wouldn't have to return a dime.
I always like little moments like these. They are far and few between over the course of the show, but House doing something genuinely nice for someone is always heartwarming to watch.
Wait... if the problem was as simple as paralysis of vocal chords due to intubation, i'm curious as to how the hospital didn't catch this. How did they arrive at a million dollar settlement without even trying to solve the problem first? Surely if the problem was so complex, they would have gotten House to help, although maybe House would have been too "busy" with his "workload".
Yes I thought the same but i guess writers just wanted to show how house thought out of the box and came to the solution by considering something which was very rare to happen.
@@devam8850 Well, irl vocal cord paralysis for days after being intubated isn't that rare, especially if it's a bodged job because literally shoving a pipe not much smaller into your trachea that also has an expanding portion for sealing tends to be quite uncomfortable for the body, to put it lightly.
@@egg5474 talking about uncomfortable intubation, nasal tracheal intubation is bloody horrible from my personal experience. You need to be awake fully while they do it so they don't start any anesthesia (apart from a local anaesthetic spray for your nasal passage) until you are fully intubated.
The guy couldn't talk for a whole year because of the hospital. He deserved the money regardless and would have probably still been legally entitled to it.
I don't see how the hospital would be able to take the money back. They settled out of court - the agreement is done as far as the courts are concerned. Nobody would be claiming that he was faking the entire time, everyone acknowledged he couldn't talk and it was the hospital's fault. Even after he was cured, the hospital was still liable for the period of time he was mute and any court would just rule the money they gave was a suitable agreed amount - especially as it was agreed out of court. Unless the hospital had the foresight to include an "in the event of a cure" clause to the agreement, but the episode never mentioned that, so I choose to believe they didn't.
@@DeathnoteBBPresumably, yes. As, they would do scans and tests to ensure he wasn’t faking. The primary issue, one that the writers of the show don’t include, is that test would reveal the chords to be paralyzed, not beyond repair. Either way, it’s on the hospital in this case.
He didn't do it to screw with the hospital, House just found an interesting toy and decided to break it. In the end it all boils down to an addict's main priority. Self-Gratification.
Love that after going through a malpractice suit against Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, this father still decided that the best place to take his potentially sick child was that very same hospital's free clinic.
How amazing would it have been if house genuinely made it so the guy can’t talk with that shot, he’d have no way of proving that house did anything without saying he falsified the original report
BOTOX is used to treat a variety of problems with the voice box, including spasmodic dysphonia, laryngospasm, and granulomas. How does it work? In patients with spasmodic dysphonia, BOTOX weakens the vocal cord muscles so that they no longer spasm, allowing the voice to sound natural. Endotracheal intubation is an airway management procedure commonly performed under general anaesthesia; it may cause some complications (1). Vocal cord paralysis, which is a rare complication with an incidence of less than 0.1%, may lead to aspiration pneumonia and postoperative mortality and morbidity (2).
this is one several scenes that remind me the show was written before people understood that hospitals are the health care system's chief villains. There is one episode where Cuddy presses a poor guy for a 16K debt ("we don't give things away") and our sympathies are supposed to be with her, and another where scrappy independent PPlainsboro battles an insurance company Goliath. It is true a small hospital would suffer from the market power of a big insurer, but most hospitals are consolidated, networked behemoths and hold the advantage in that negotiation. It's almost funny to see a hospital painted as an underdog.
This is actually what they offered me. After I got shot in the throat I couldn't speak very well. I was in a coma for 6 weeks with a tube down my throat. So of course I would have trouble speaking. I refused the treatment and about a week later had a spontaneous recovery. I had vomited and then afterwards I could talk completely normal.
Was anyone else reminded of Hugh playing the Prince Regent when he shouted at the patient? Especially the episode where he is taught how to project his voice by actors
