Fight scenes is the best example I can thing of. where every fight scene now is all special effects and break as much stuff as possible instead of having a good fight choreography.
@@creatip123 I don't know exactly what it is but Hugh has such a way with expressions, his face just hits the right notes when he's trying to convey a strong feeling, mainly empathy, pain, and anger.
They kinda do still make shows like this. Well, not sure if they belong in the same category but Better Call Saul is an excellent show with great acting and directing. But you probably know that one already. One you probably don't know about is a show called Mr. Inbetween. Not gonna say what it's about, but if you like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Mr. Inbetween is a must-watch IMO.
The actress in this scene is just as phenomenal as house. I believed 100% both of their stories and they’re just actors. felt like I was sitting there not just watching a show.
I'm more impressed by your command of English! Nice to see that someone else actually knows the difference between "their", "there" and "they're". I learned the difference in infant school. It's a shame more people didn't listen in English lessons. But yes, agreed; superb acting from both.
She also played SGT Frankie Gonzales in Grimm - another character who was attempting to cope with a horrific tragedy that truly wasn’t her fault. Emily Rios’ facial expressions are so subtle but intense, and it’s amazing to see the absolute range of emotion she can deliver with something as small as shifting eyes or a stiffened jaw.
Honestly, i think hugh laurie has to be one of the best actors ever. Moments when he has a one on one with patients and he's being serious, it doesnt feel dramatic at all. There's just a weight to it i dont really feel from many other actors. It probably shows how good the directors are, which i think he is as well right? XD
I agree. He was able to make us feel the weight in this scene and most of it was via his eyes. I just let out a heavy sigh to blow the 'weight' of the scene out. Masterful acting. Seriously. I don't say that lightly.
Comedians and comedy stars seem to do it best. Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come, Tom Hanks in Green Mile, Jim Carry in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Will Smith in I Am Legend. It’s amazing the range these people have!
Everything House does proves he cares about people. He’s a jerk to people as an attempt at hiding that he does care. He doesn’t like people. But he still cares deeply for them.
What I find really interesting about this show is that again and again, it comes by themes of peoples attempts to justify pain. From pain we inflict on ourselves, to pain our body inflicts upon us, to the pain we inflict on others, ever character struggles to try to find rational and justification for said pain. Again and again, the anwser we keep coming to is, there is no justification, pain happens no matter what, to the lucky or unlucky, to the careful or the carless, to the cruel or the kind, doctor or patient, pain comes and it doesn't have any justification other then it's there, so it is. House is a character who, on one hand, lives by this rational the most closely, that pain is random, it can't be controlled, sometimes can't be cured, only treated. He stands by this pretty firmly on a biological and emotional level. He is criticized most for being cruel when he doesn't have to or shouldn't be, but no one can deny that house is a rather miraculous doctor, he's good at what he does, and he's almost always right. HOWEVER, despite this seeming to be House being the most pure ideal of this concept, he is CONSTANTLY justifying his own callunuss and cruelty with his own pain. He lives to rebuddle every point, to scoff at every principle, and as much as he detests excuses, he lives for justification, lives by the idea that everything has a reason to it, or it wouldn't happen. He constantly justifies his own cruelty and selfishness through his effectiveness at teaching and saving lives. And both the series and House himself have to confront this several times and time again. Everything can be justified by nothing can be absolved. Taking responsibility for your actions when you can, because of care, I think that is the crux of what's great about this show and his characters development.
I love how he doesnt just call the parents in the end (i mean as he said they could just find her parents over certain ways), but he wants her to make the choice making the first step to forgive herself.
He understands how it feels to have choices taken away from you. Stacy went against his express wishes while he was unconscious and changed the nature of the surgery he had on his leg. Maybe it worked out better than it would have otherwise, maybe not. The point was that he was denied his own choice of his fate.
i don't think he knows who her parents are. i think all that commentary was to get her to change her mind about killing herself and get her to call her parents.
@@takumi2023 Well he doesnt know at that exact moment but he has plenty enough options to figure it out. When it comes to minors doctors, police and other have a lot ways to legally figure out the parents. In some circumstances its even their duty to do so.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Hugh Laurie is the most perfect cast for the house character? I think no else could pull off this character this perfectly
Why would parents hate their 2nd child if the 2nd child doesn't believe her parents would give parents own bone to save 2nd child ? If the parents didn't want to save their own 2nd child I guess the 2nd child was right about her own parents doesn't love their own 2nd child . And that 2nd child dies off .
@@richa.s9912 Guilt is one hell of an emotion my guy. The girl said every time her parents looked at her it was like she had killed her brother all over again. Her parents might not have said anything, but the guilt she feels might be so intense and the sadness they have from her actions might make her feel like they wouldn't give her their marrow. Its very likely if she had gone back to them sooner they would have helped her, but when you've done something horrible that you cannot even forgive yourself for it, its hard to believe anyone would help you, let alone the people you hurt with said action.
@@richa.s9912 "What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
@@richa.s9912 It's the pain of going through grief of your second child, the grief of being mad at your first child for the accident that killed your second child, then having your first child run away causing you guilt, and then finding out that your first child died as a way to punish themselves for the accident. It doesn't seem like her parents are mad at her or kicked her out. It sounds like she ran away because the guilt was killing her.
One of the many scenes that proves House is human and cares about people. If he truly was what people think, the reactions from 7:01 onward would not be as they are. I love tjis show, the acting, script, all perfect
If he truly was what he portrays himself as, he wouldnt be a doctor in the first place. Or, if he was, he would own a private hospital or company. He'd be a bit like Vogler. Not to mention, he would be happy and pleasant to be around. Cynicism is the last refuge of a sensitive man whom life has hurt by being uglier than what he thinks it should be. A genuinely amoral man is never openly cynical. Because the ugliness of life doesnt scare him, its his playground. For example, an amoral atheist would see it as freedom to do whatever he wants. He'd be happy about it, not miserable like House (its quite obvious that he HATES that there is no God). You think Soros, Kissinger or Allen Dulles made fun of morality or other people as a defense mechanism? For what reason does a wolf need a defense mechanism? A sheep cursed with too piercing a gaze however....he needs all the defense mechanisms there are. Hell, he might even be metally ill in some way and people scare him in general. House suffers from chronic depression and is very unpleasant to be around but amoral? Hah!! He's all the way across town from amoral.
This happened for real in my family. I was the third of three children born quite late-one full decade after my sister who was dead. I never understood why our family dynamics were nothing but stress. It wasn't until 30 yrs later when I was married and having my first child that the whole situation became clear. It wasn't a relative and it wasn't a stranger that told me the full story. It was an ancient newspaper that was on display at my local hospital. There tucked in the headlines was a story about my sister's death and how my oldest sister had been involved in her passing.
Maybe your parents shouldn't have used a child to watch a child. Too often older siblings get roped into childcare for children they didn't have themselves. I wish you peace.
That is an awful way to find out. I feel for you. I am also the third child, and I had a brother who died before I was born. However nothing to do with my sister - he had a severe heart defect and died under anaesthetic. I knew bits and pieces, and like you I always felt the family dynamics was not healthy. It wasn’t until I was in my late 20s my mother told me the whole story of how he died. She was only in her early 20s when it happened and 30 years later when she told me the full story the pain was still raw. My sister was only 4 and I think she blamed my parents for taking him away and not bringing him back. Guilt and blame is so often misplaced.
@@brontewcat even though parents might not have a direct role to play in the death of the child, a lot of the time they, especially the mother, cannot help but blame themselves that if they had done this or not done that the situation/outcome might have been different. Mothers are especially vulnerable to blaming themselves if a child is born with a congenital problem ("perhaps I ate something I shouldn't have" "perhaps I did some wrong exercise or slept in the wrong posture").
Same thing happened in my town with a person I went to school with. Girl I knew had 2 brothers and one of the brothers was swimming in the river while the other was supposed to keep an eye on him. Well he ended up turning away and not paying attention and the brother ended up going under the water and getting dragged down stream where he drowned. Never let children babysit children. It's never a good idea.
It shouldn't be the child who is blamed. Ultimately, the parents are responsible. Too often older children are roped in to childcare responsibilities for younger siblings they didn't get a say in having. Older kids are not your built-in babysitters.
"It shouldn't be the child who is blamed. Ultimately, the parents are responsible." I'm betting you are American because Americans tend to be obsessed with blame. Is it possible that it was an accident that wasn't really anyone's fault?
@@TH-camallowedmynametobestolen She was told to watch the child, she didn't watch the child and the child drowned. That isn't an accident. Sure she didn't plan for her brother to die, but because she didn't do as instructed the child died.
@@notsureyou "she didn't plan for her brother to die" The definition of an accident. Thank you for agreeing with me. Her failure to watch the child (if it was really that clear-cut) was not an accident. The child's death was.
@@TH-camallowedmynametobestolen The definition of an accident is: "an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance" So whilst the child's death was unplanned, it was not unforeseen (which is why she was asked to watch the child). So an unintentional death yes, accident no. since the risk of drowning was foreseen, and the parents tried to take steps to mitigate the risk (the daughter given the responsibility of watching her brother). If she wasn't family she would probably be charged with Manslaughter by criminal negligence.
@@notsureyou "whilst the child's death was unplanned, it was not unforeseen (which is why she was asked to watch the child)" So the parents said, "We foresee that our child WILL DROWN. Therefore, please watch him." Do you realize that that is what you are saying? "since the risk of drowning was foreseen" YES. The RISK of drowning was foreseen. NOT THE DROWNING ITSELF. Now you are making sense. "So an unintentional death yes, accident no." I think you and I have different definitions of "accident." The girl's failure to attend to her brother adequately was not an accident. The brother's death was. No one foresaw it, no one planned it, no one intended for it to happen. And the only one who can be said to have made it happen was the brother.
House is apathetic and logically cold, that does not mean he's without empathy. You can see it when she finally tells the truth... he says nothing at all, yet you can see all the heartbreak for her in his eyes.
While I agree with your notion that he can come off as "cold"....... he's never been apathetic. One cannot be both apathic and sympathetic....you don't understand house at all if you ever thought he was apathetic.
Hugh Laurie was able to make us feel the weight in this scene and most of it was via his eyes. I just let out a heavy sigh to blow the 'weight' of the scene out. Masterful acting. Seriously. I don't say that lightly.
The most important thing here is that he got the truth, he didn't needed to save her or convince her to call her parents. He wasn't shocked by the story he was shocked by the fact that the story was so bad he wasn't able to feel good finding out the truth. House is a metaphor for science (or at least he was before the show became about his wit sense of humor).
This is a perfect example of House’s emotions truly coming out. You can see the heartbreak in his eyes when she reveals the truth about her brother. House is not heartless or apathetic, despite what so many believe. He truly does care despite his insistence to the contrary, he just doesn’t show it very often.
Yeah even he had ti step back and sit down after the story was told. Heck he was speechless for a few minutes. Yet I applaud the use of the "not make it worse" line as it's fits perfectly here.
For those wondering they did end up contacting her parents and they were able to save her life. Her parents never hated her nor did they ever blame her for the death of their son
House being sympathetic is the reason why I always watch House/clips. House pretends to not care, but deeply his not caring, is caring. Otherwise his patients would die. He wouldn't admit it, but his interests in his patients 90% saves them, which is caring.
@@christianmingle3394 he meant that they should have confronted her while she was in the machine via the intercom, to see if she was lying still. hence the "both of them" part.
The whole production team level of amazing, is, um, off the charts. How that last scene was written and cameras framed, with Hugh basically giving a masterclass in just what his eyes alone does to convey, is just *insert superlative here*
i love how they try to talk and convince the patient and when it doesnt work, they go to House like a student summoning the teacher to deal with the issue
My two cousins were playing, running around. The youngest fell down and scraped her knee. My uncle got upset and started screaming at the oldest one because she didn't prevent the younger from falling. I told him that he and his wife were much older and even they couldn't prevent it, even though she fell in front of them. They were both children that needed to be cared by the adults.
When I was growing up, my aunt and uncle had four children. Later on, I found out that they had had to get married because she got pregnant. That first child drowned in the bathtub because my aunt left him alone for a few minutes. They were both good people who raised four good children. How they, and especially she, got past that and lived rich, full lives I will never know, but I am glad they did.
Wow...Im really impressed. The producers and writers of House's lines had the balls to let him have a heart to heart with a suffering patient who felt guilty for murdering her brother. I felt every word House told her in the end of this clip. Did NOT expect that from him at all!
There's a story like this in my family, only it happened in the 30s and I'm not sure anyone actually know what went down anymore. It's always tragic when a kid dies. No one should have to bear a burden like this.
One of those moments where House had no idea what he was about to hear, and braced for the worst, but it still hit him harder than he expected. The last piece of the puzzle clicks into place, the mechanisms turn, and the lid of Pandora's Box is flung open.
Pandora's box was already open and the monsters let loose... what they finally found was that tiny and fragile piece known as hope - which until then had escaped unnoticed amongst all the monsters from the box.
So I watched House as a teenager. I firmly believe it ended up shaping a lot of my personality and choices as an adult. It inspired me to go into medicine, but I found out I don't have the motivation for medical school or the fortitude for nursing, so I ended up in mental health. I didn't realise that I could come back to the show in my current profession and still feel like I'm learning something about how to care for patients. It's absolutely fascinating to see just how expertly House's dialogue captures the essence of a therapeutic conversation. He makes an immediate observation of her personality based on what he's heard from the patient, either directly or indirectly. He presents that observation and asks for clarification with a complete lack of judgement, either positive or negative, just sheer curiosity. He hears her response and counters with an obvious assertion, but one that isn't typically deemed 'appropriate' to say, while still being politely curious. He then begins explaining what he's observing (and if you ignore the hint of sarcasm, it actually sounds exactly like something I'd say to a client). The therapeutic conversation stops the moment he asks what she did again because then it's back to solving the puzzle for House, but up until that moment, if you wrote a transcript of that dialogue, I'd absolutely believe it came from a therapist's office.
Several people have mentioned the emotion and compassion after the seventh minute but for me, the best moment is at 6:34. That soft voice amazed me. Sometimes I wonder if people don't realize that House was based on Holmes, y'know, as in Sherlock? Solving puzzles, figuring people out, devoting his talents to helping them but never getting too close? This was a great series in so many ways.
6:35 it was at this moment I realized House was not just the guy who likes physically diagnosing people but also someone who can read others and bring to light the psychological demons within House could be a brilliant therapist if he wanted to
Who leaves a small child near water under the care of a slightly older child? Even adults can get distracted for a moment, and anyone, even adults, can drown in shallow waters. A baby could drown in a glass of water if the entry was large enough for their heads. If anyone, the parents are the only ones to blame for that accident.
I remember thinking she really f’d up when I was a 13 year old watching this over a decade ago, but now as an adult I think it was the parents fault for tasking a teenage child with keeping a toddler safe in the bath. Poor girl
He has this nasty arrogant front he puts up, for some reason, to keep people away from him (maybe he thinks he doesnt deserve to be liked). But he's really the nicest person you can find . He really wants to help that girl .
I've had *alot* of MRI's, literally wore ear protection once. That's it. You don't really need it. Of course it's a bit noisy, and uncomfortable, but personally I love MRI's.
These clips need Seasons and episode numbers. I stay up till 3 in the morning watching house and have to be at work in the morning. I need to watch 1 episode and go to bed...but these clips are leading me on and getting me caught up in episode after episode...I regret nothing!
House’s methods may be harsh (or excessively harsh or mean) but he eventually gets the job done. His aim is to help the patient Strange methods as they may be. He’s a “jerk with a heart of gold” hero variant. Love this show
Slow poke here, but she's not even 17 here? So her parents hate her because she was babysitting her brother at probably like 12? Bad parenting to make her live with the guilt
I saw a Nurse at a hospital as I was being discharged. This RN is talking to me and smiling cuz she sees my jaw drop when she walks in lol. All this time I am thinking "I don't want to leave, I am still sick! LOLOL". Never ran into her again , unfortunately. Folks, the issues with patients AND family members complaining about things they know nothing about is very stressful for nurses. Sometimes the only way they can cope wit it is through food. So next time you want to lash out at any nurse that "isn't doing things the way you think they should", back off! Dedicated to Jessica B. and all the other nurses from the guy in Room 214. Hope you loved the lunch I made...
I work at the ICU, one of my co-workers is just the most beautiful girl i had ever seen. Everytime we laugh about how our unconscience patients regain conscience just by hearing the sound of her voice
No, it shouldn't ever be a child to be blamed about being raped or fighting her way from a bad situation because of how she dresses. But some people still think this way.
I misunderstood House when I first watched the show. I thought he never cared or empathized with others, that the only thing he cared about was the mystery. But I was wrong.
People who accuse House of misanthropy miss the point. He risks his career over and over to save people's lives, not out of a love of puzzles, but because he wants people to live long and hopefully meaningful lives. He hates when people waste their lives and live stupid brain-dead existences, sure; and he doesn't mind telling people exactly what he thinks of their dumb choices. But this young woman, once he realizes she's not just being stupid, his demeanor completely changes. He isn't cruel just to be cruel, and he is certainly not indifferent to her guilt. He doesn't even pretend he has a simple answer. But he persuades her to do the only thing that won't make things worse.
You ever realize that House usually treat his patients for more than physical pain. People will visit a therapist 6x a week, and House is the one that will be blunt enough to tell them they only sick cause they found out they husband ran the stop signs and ate too much corn flour.
When one lie comes out, everything said is suspect. She played the doctors for fools by shocking them with a lie they were too uncomfortable to confront/verify.
Ultimately the responsibility lies with the parents. You leave a kid in charge, they make reasonable decisions for a kid. If they aren’t old enough and/or you haven’t ensured they understand the responsibility well enough, then that’s kind of on you.
This is one of the perfect episodes to show to the people that says House had lack of empathy for his patients...look at that change of expression 7:01 he said it all without saying a word, you can see all the emotion in his eyes 7:13.

House is always like that when expressing himself. When he's talking with 13 after she gets out of prison and she finally tells him what happens he doesn't say anything. 13 takes this as him being detached from the whole thing then throws a jab about how she's not surprised Cuddy broke up with him, except as viewers we get to see the other times House behaves in this manner and displays emotion entirely with his body and eyes without needing any words. The problem as mentioned is that not everyone will realise House is showing emotion in those situations, and to be fair the characters are written to miss that.
The very few times House does show emotion with words are always extremely intimate and private moments with no others around, like this, like when he promises to kill 13 when her condition gets to the point it did with her brother, like when he tells Wilson the sacrifice made in the last episode isn't as important as spending the coming months with his [only] friend.

Again and again, the anwser we keep coming to is, there is no justification, pain happens no matter what, to the lucky or unlucky, to the careful or the carless, to the cruel or the kind, doctor or patient, pain comes and it doesn't have any justification other then it's there, so it is. House is a character who, on one hand, lives by this rational the most closely, that pain is random, it can't be controlled, sometimes can't be cured, only treated. He stands by this pretty firmly on a biological and emotional level. He is criticized most for being cruel when he doesn't have to or shouldn't be, but no one can deny that house is a rather miraculous doctor, he's good at what he does, and he's almost always right. HOWEVER, despite this seeming to be House being the most pure ideal of this concept, he is CONSTANTLY justifying his own callunuss and cruelty with his own pain. He lives to rebuddle every point, to scoff at every principle, and as much as he detests excuses, he lives for justification, lives by the idea that everything has a reason to it, or it wouldn't happen. He constantly justifies his own cruelty and selfishness through his effectiveness at teaching and saving lives. And both the series and House himself have to confront this several times and time again. Everything can be justified by nothing can be absolved. Taking responsibility for your actions when you can, because of care, I think that is the crux of what's great about this show and his characters development.
Illogical, but very human.
I love how he doesnt just call the parents in the end (i mean as he said they could just find her parents over certain ways), but he wants her to make the choice making the first step to forgive herself.
Very good point you make, didn’t realize that.
He understands how it feels to have choices taken away from you. Stacy went against his express wishes while he was unconscious and changed the nature of the surgery he had on his leg. Maybe it worked out better than it would have otherwise, maybe not. The point was that he was denied his own choice of his fate.
i don't think he knows who her parents are. i think all that commentary was to get her to change her mind about killing herself and get her to call her parents.
@@takumi2023 Well he doesnt know at that exact moment but he has plenty enough options to figure it out. When it comes to minors doctors, police and other have a lot ways to legally figure out the parents. In some circumstances its even their duty to do so.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Hugh Laurie is the most perfect cast for the house character?
I think no else could pull off this character this perfectly
You know Tritter's actor was almost cast for House? This show would have been a complete flop if he had
I was shocked to find he was a comedic actor, accounts for his ability to pull off sarcasm so well.
Totally agree! No one else could have been House
One of these days I’m actually going to sit down and watch this show instead of just the clips.
Do it. You won't regret it.
Do it. It is very good and I love watching Hugh Laurie, even though I can’t stand the unshaven look he sports in this.
I believe it is still available on Prime, It's where I last watched the show from pilot to finale.
@@MusketeerGweneth yes its on prime I've been watching it
Same
"If you don't take thir marrow, you'll kill there other child. They'll hate you more."
This whole conversation hits hard.
Why would parents hate their 2nd child if the 2nd child doesn't believe her parents would give parents own bone to save 2nd child ? If the parents didn't want to save their own 2nd child I guess the 2nd child was right about her own parents doesn't love their own 2nd child . And that 2nd child dies off .
*If you don't take THEIR marrow, you'll kill THEIR other child.*
@@richa.s9912 Guilt is one hell of an emotion my guy. The girl said every time her parents looked at her it was like she had killed her brother all over again. Her parents might not have said anything, but the guilt she feels might be so intense and the sadness they have from her actions might make her feel like they wouldn't give her their marrow. Its very likely if she had gone back to them sooner they would have helped her, but when you've done something horrible that you cannot even forgive yourself for it, its hard to believe anyone would help you, let alone the people you hurt with said action.
@@richa.s9912 "What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
@@richa.s9912 It's the pain of going through grief of your second child, the grief of being mad at your first child for the accident that killed your second child, then having your first child run away causing you guilt, and then finding out that your first child died as a way to punish themselves for the accident. It doesn't seem like her parents are mad at her or kicked her out. It sounds like she ran away because the guilt was killing her.
One of the many scenes that proves House is human and cares about people. If he truly was what people think, the reactions from 7:01 onward would not be as they are. I love tjis show, the acting, script, all perfect
If he truly was what he portrays himself as, he wouldnt be a doctor in the first place. Or, if he was, he would own a private hospital or company. He'd be a bit like Vogler. Not to mention, he would be happy and pleasant to be around. Cynicism is the last refuge of a sensitive man whom life has hurt by being uglier than what he thinks it should be. A genuinely amoral man is never openly cynical. Because the ugliness of life doesnt scare him, its his playground. For example, an amoral atheist would see it as freedom to do whatever he wants. He'd be happy about it, not miserable like House (its quite obvious that he HATES that there is no God). You think Soros, Kissinger or Allen Dulles made fun of morality or other people as a defense mechanism? For what reason does a wolf need a defense mechanism? A sheep cursed with too piercing a gaze however....he needs all the defense mechanisms there are. Hell, he might even be metally ill in some way and people scare him in general. House suffers from chronic depression and is very unpleasant to be around but amoral? Hah!! He's all the way across town from amoral.
This happened for real in my family. I was the third of three children born quite late-one full decade after my sister who was dead. I never understood why our family dynamics were nothing but stress. It wasn't until 30 yrs later when I was married and having my first child that the whole situation became clear. It wasn't a relative and it wasn't a stranger that told me the full story. It was an ancient newspaper that was on display at my local hospital. There tucked in the headlines was a story about my sister's death and how my oldest sister had been involved in her passing.
Maybe your parents shouldn't have used a child to watch a child. Too often older siblings get roped into childcare for children they didn't have themselves. I wish you peace.
That is an awful way to find out. I feel for you.
I am also the third child, and I had a brother who died before I was born. However nothing to do with my sister - he had a severe heart defect and died under anaesthetic. I knew bits and pieces, and like you I always felt the family dynamics was not healthy.
It wasn’t until I was in my late 20s my mother told me the whole story of how he died. She was only in her early 20s when it happened and 30 years later when she told me the full story the pain was still raw. My sister was only 4 and I think she blamed my parents for taking him away and not bringing him back. Guilt and blame is so often misplaced.
I wonder what situation made THAT newspaper to be on display
@@brontewcat even though parents might not have a direct role to play in the death of the child, a lot of the time they, especially the mother, cannot help but blame themselves that if they had done this or not done that the situation/outcome might have been different. Mothers are especially vulnerable to blaming themselves if a child is born with a congenital problem ("perhaps I ate something I shouldn't have" "perhaps I did some wrong exercise or slept in the wrong posture").
Same thing happened in my town with a person I went to school with. Girl I knew had 2 brothers and one of the brothers was swimming in the river while the other was supposed to keep an eye on him. Well he ended up turning away and not paying attention and the brother ended up going under the water and getting dragged down stream where he drowned. Never let children babysit children. It's never a good idea.
It shouldn't be the child who is blamed. Ultimately, the parents are responsible. Too often older children are roped in to childcare responsibilities for younger siblings they didn't get a say in having. Older kids are not your built-in babysitters.
"It shouldn't be the child who is blamed. Ultimately, the parents are responsible."
I'm betting you are American because Americans tend to be obsessed with blame.
Is it possible that it was an accident that wasn't really anyone's fault?
@@TH-camallowedmynametobestolen She was told to watch the child, she didn't watch the child and the child drowned.
That isn't an accident.
Sure she didn't plan for her brother to die, but because she didn't do as instructed the child died.
@@notsureyou "she didn't plan for her brother to die"
The definition of an accident. Thank you for agreeing with me.
Her failure to watch the child (if it was really that clear-cut) was not an accident. The child's death was.
@@TH-camallowedmynametobestolen The definition of an accident is:
"an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance"
So whilst the child's death was unplanned, it was not unforeseen (which is why she was asked to watch the child).
So an unintentional death yes,
accident no.
since the risk of drowning was foreseen, and the parents tried to take steps to mitigate the risk (the daughter given the responsibility of watching her brother).
If she wasn't family she would probably be charged with Manslaughter by criminal negligence.
@@notsureyou "whilst the child's death was unplanned, it was not unforeseen (which is why she was asked to watch the child)"
So the parents said, "We foresee that our child WILL DROWN. Therefore, please watch him."
Do you realize that that is what you are saying?
"since the risk of drowning was foreseen"
YES. The RISK of drowning was foreseen. NOT THE DROWNING ITSELF.
Now you are making sense.
"So an unintentional death yes, accident no."
I think you and I have different definitions of "accident."
The girl's failure to attend to her brother adequately was not an accident. The brother's death was. No one foresaw it, no one planned it, no one intended for it to happen. And the only one who can be said to have made it happen was the brother.
House is apathetic and logically cold, that does not mean he's without empathy. You can see it when she finally tells the truth... he says nothing at all, yet you can see all the heartbreak for her in his eyes.
While I agree with your notion that he can come off as "cold"....... he's never been apathetic. One cannot be both apathic and sympathetic....you don't understand house at all if you ever thought he was apathetic.
@@inheritmyshoes9559 k
Apathetic but without empathy? What
I think its possible house pretends to be apathetic when he really does care a lot
The way House’s tone changes- that hits in the feels
the "what did you do" scene is just [[:chef's kiss:]]
Italian chef?
Hugh Laurie was able to make us feel the weight in this scene and most of it was via his eyes. I just let out a heavy sigh to blow the 'weight' of the scene out. Masterful acting. Seriously. I don't say that lightly.
The most important thing here is that he got the truth, he didn't needed to save her or convince her to call her parents. He wasn't shocked by the story he was shocked by the fact that the story was so bad he wasn't able to feel good finding out the truth. House is a metaphor for science (or at least he was before the show became about his wit sense of humor).
This is a perfect example of House’s emotions truly coming out. You can see the heartbreak in his eyes when she reveals the truth about her brother. House is not heartless or apathetic, despite what so many believe. He truly does care despite his insistence to the contrary, he just doesn’t show it very often.
Yeah even he had ti step back and sit down after the story was told. Heck he was speechless for a few minutes. Yet I applaud the use of the "not make it worse" line as it's fits perfectly here.
For those wondering they did end up contacting her parents and they were able to save her life. Her parents never hated her nor did they ever blame her for the death of their son
self hatred is always the most vicious
Dr. House look genuinely shocked about what happened to the son, really is unexpected from such a character.
Don’t tell me “House didn’t care about his patients”. He cared more than most people would understand.
That's the whole reason he preferred to keep his distance. He worried about it compromising his objectivity and thus endangering his patients.
and that frightened him the worst.
House being sympathetic is the reason why I always watch House/clips. House pretends to not care, but deeply his not caring, is caring. Otherwise his patients would die. He wouldn't admit it, but his interests in his patients 90% saves them, which is caring.
Kutner: The MRI shows that You're lying!
Patient: *lies again
Kutner: Okay, I believe You.
Both of them should have stayed in the control room while confronting her to observe for other lies.
@@MDMAx she was already out of the machine by the time she lied the second time, the control room wouldn’t have showed anything
@@christianmingle3394 he meant that they should have confronted her while she was in the machine via the intercom, to see if she was lying still. hence the "both of them" part.
Hugh's acting 7:01 is priceless. The way he expresses the entire scene without saying a word, is just perfect
The actress is pretty amazing too
"You see someone who did something terrible, who deserves to suffer, but doesn't deserve to live."
He saw straight through her.
House always says he doesnt care, but look at his eyes when told the story of her little brothers. those looked like tears forming in his eyes
House and his soft spot for kids we meet again
My God, Hugh is such an amazing actor.
He is. I keep re=watching 'Jeeves and Wooster" episodes to remind myself just how great he is.
The whole production team level of amazing, is, um, off the charts. How that last scene was written and cameras framed, with Hugh basically giving a masterclass in just what his eyes alone does to convey, is just *insert superlative here*
13: "You're strong... you'll be fine."
Patient: *Immediately gets down to funky town with a seizure*
I am now gonna use "gets down to funky town" in my daily life now 😂
@@littlechalkie8030 Please don't have seizures daily if you can help it, thank you
"you can make it not worse" If house would've followed his own advice we'd be done by like season 3.
And that would be enough btw
It became a soap very quickly
I love Hadley so so so much, Shes so raw and real. She just speaks the truth and i love her character 😭
For a sec I was confused who you meant, cuz we rarely hear 13's real name
Such a heartbreaking episode. To live with such guilt even if its not necessarily your fault must be excruciating
i love how they try to talk and convince the patient and when it doesnt work, they go to House like a student summoning the teacher to deal with the issue
My two cousins were playing, running around. The youngest fell down and scraped her knee. My uncle got upset and started screaming at the oldest one because she didn't prevent the younger from falling. I told him that he and his wife were much older and even they couldn't prevent it, even though she fell in front of them. They were both children that needed to be cared by the adults.
House really cares in his own way. Good episode
This is the first time I have seen so much sympathy from House's eyes. High Laurie is now one of my favourite actors
When I was growing up, my aunt and uncle had four children. Later on, I found out that they had had to get married because she got pregnant. That first child drowned in the bathtub because my aunt left him alone for a few minutes. They were both good people who raised four good children. How they, and especially she, got past that and lived rich, full lives I will never know, but I am glad they did.
Wow...Im really impressed. The producers and writers of House's lines had the balls to let him have a heart to heart with a suffering patient who felt guilty for murdering her brother. I felt every word House told her in the end of this clip. Did NOT expect that from him at all!
There's a story like this in my family, only it happened in the 30s and I'm not sure anyone actually know what went down anymore. It's always tragic when a kid dies. No one should have to bear a burden like this.
One of those moments where House had no idea what he was about to hear, and braced for the worst, but it still hit him harder than he expected.
The last piece of the puzzle clicks into place, the mechanisms turn, and the lid of Pandora's Box is flung open.
Pandora's box was already open and the monsters let loose... what they finally found was that tiny and fragile piece known as hope - which until then had escaped unnoticed amongst all the monsters from the box.
So I watched House as a teenager. I firmly believe it ended up shaping a lot of my personality and choices as an adult. It inspired me to go into medicine, but I found out I don't have the motivation for medical school or the fortitude for nursing, so I ended up in mental health. I didn't realise that I could come back to the show in my current profession and still feel like I'm learning something about how to care for patients. It's absolutely fascinating to see just how expertly House's dialogue captures the essence of a therapeutic conversation.
He makes an immediate observation of her personality based on what he's heard from the patient, either directly or indirectly. He presents that observation and asks for clarification with a complete lack of judgement, either positive or negative, just sheer curiosity. He hears her response and counters with an obvious assertion, but one that isn't typically deemed 'appropriate' to say, while still being politely curious. He then begins explaining what he's observing (and if you ignore the hint of sarcasm, it actually sounds exactly like something I'd say to a client).
The therapeutic conversation stops the moment he asks what she did again because then it's back to solving the puzzle for House, but up until that moment, if you wrote a transcript of that dialogue, I'd absolutely believe it came from a therapist's office.
One of the rare occasions you will see House slightly sympathizing with a patient.
Several people have mentioned the emotion and compassion after the seventh minute but for me, the best moment is at 6:34. That soft voice amazed me. Sometimes I wonder if people don't realize that House was based on Holmes, y'know, as in Sherlock? Solving puzzles, figuring people out, devoting his talents to helping them but never getting too close? This was a great series in so many ways.
You could tell he wanted to cry got her that man seems cold hearted but he has feelings
6:35 it was at this moment I realized House was not just the guy who likes physically diagnosing people but also someone who can read others and bring to light the psychological demons within House could be a brilliant therapist if he wanted to
The FMRI and questions with answers is the perfect lie detector!
Probably not how it works
If only proving intent was so simple and straightforward
Remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.
Arty Vandalay would own everyone on this show, even House.
Hugh Laurie's ability to tell a story with a facial expression is incredible.
Who leaves a small child near water under the care of a slightly older child?
Even adults can get distracted for a moment, and anyone, even adults, can drown in shallow waters. A baby could drown in a glass of water if the entry was large enough for their heads.
If anyone, the parents are the only ones to blame for that accident.
Is the patient played by the same actress as Andrea from Breaking Bad?!
Edit: Apparently yes! Both were played by Emily Rios.
I believe so
Yes, she is
Yes!
But she was dead by a non personnal shoot
@@OutCast907 she's dead in real life?
The mystery was solved, the diagnosis perfect. He stayed because he does care
Oh yeah I remember one of the top 10 most depressing House episodes.
His eyes are so expressive
One of the few times House seemed to actually have empathy for a patient.
people can say House was void of compassion.....that scene showed otherwise..... WOW
Hugh Laurie says more with his eyes than any actor I ever seen.
Doctors literally do everything in this show
nurses literally aint a thing
No kidding! And the same 5 doctors, too.
That's because they can't spend more money to cast more staff.
I remember thinking she really f’d up when I was a 13 year old watching this over a decade ago, but now as an adult I think it was the parents fault for tasking a teenage child with keeping a toddler safe in the bath. Poor girl
He has this nasty arrogant front he puts up, for some reason, to keep people away from him (maybe he thinks he doesnt deserve to be liked). But he's really the nicest person you can find . He really wants to help that girl .
I love the moments when House is kind to a patient
If someone from the house hospital says youre gonna be fine and then turns away to gather paperwork, youre not gonna be fine chief
“I wish I could tell you what to bo, but you’re strong. You’ll be fine.”
Me: we’re 2:30 into this clip she isn’t gonna be fine!
*I wish I could tell you what to DO*
The deeply-flawed (and very self-aware) Dr. House has no reason to judge anyone else, which makes him the perfect confessor
One of the best tv shows ever made! Love theses clips!
House is the biggest unemotional emotional person ever
I love how patients go inside the mri without ear protection
or the cage they put around your head.
I've had *alot* of MRI's, literally wore ear protection once. That's it. You don't really need it. Of course it's a bit noisy, and uncomfortable, but personally I love MRI's.
When I was in it I literally fell asleep without them. It's not that bad.
In the 90's ear protection wasn't common. I had 3 MRIs and was never offered ear protection.
wait what? i’ve never had ear protection for an MRI… just have to take out like forty piercings 🙄
These clips need Seasons and episode numbers. I stay up till 3 in the morning watching house and have to be at work in the morning. I need to watch 1 episode and go to bed...but these clips are leading me on and getting me caught up in episode after episode...I regret nothing!
How was this show so fucking perfect? The acting, the scriptwriting, everything. It seems like every episodes had an important message.
House’s methods may be harsh (or excessively harsh or mean) but he eventually gets the job done.
His aim is to help the patient
Strange methods as they may be.
He’s a “jerk with a heart of gold” hero variant.
Love this show
Slow poke here, but she's not even 17 here? So her parents hate her because she was babysitting her brother at probably like 12? Bad parenting to make her live with the guilt
Her parents don't hate her, she just felt guilty.
This is the most emotion I've ever seen house express.
Why would anybody assume what she said after it was revealed what she was saying lying the whole time prior was the truth without evidence?
How long do you want the episode to be lol
@@milklover2830 depending on the episode, this one I wouldn't have minded If it was shorter.

Can you imagine walking into a hospital and seeing a girl as drop dead gorgeous as Olivia Wilde there? I’d swear I was dead and in heaven
Well, you’ll be in a hospital at least.
I saw a Nurse at a hospital as I was being discharged. This RN is talking to me and smiling cuz she sees my jaw drop when she walks in lol. All this time I am thinking "I don't want to leave, I am still sick! LOLOL". Never ran into her again , unfortunately. Folks, the issues with patients AND family members complaining about things they know nothing about is very stressful for nurses. Sometimes the only way they can cope wit it is through food. So next time you want to lash out at any nurse that "isn't doing things the way you think they should", back off! Dedicated to Jessica B. and all the other nurses from the guy in Room 214.

It's not an episode of House if a patient doesn't start convulsing after they were told they were all good.
House was like Breaking Bad; even if you weren't watching the show, you knew it was good
Guilt is the strongest emotion
Me and my other half watched House faithfully every week,now it's just me,so it reminds me of happier times in life,glad to find it!
So sorry for your loss. Hugs
His expression here 7:31 is like “that hurt to hear…”
No, it shouldn't ever be a child to be blamed about being raped or fighting her way from a bad situation because of how she dresses. But some people still think this way.
I misunderstood House when I first watched the show. I thought he never cared or empathized with others, that the only thing he cared about was the mystery. But I was wrong.
House really does care, he just doesn't want anyone to know that he cares.
7:33 GODDAMN, seen Hugh's eyes almost makes you wanna cry... such a fantastic actor
I love House he is smart , sarcastic and funny
People who accuse House of misanthropy miss the point. He risks his career over and over to save people's lives, not out of a love of puzzles, but because he wants people to live long and hopefully meaningful lives. He hates when people waste their lives and live stupid brain-dead existences, sure; and he doesn't mind telling people exactly what he thinks of their dumb choices.
But this young woman, once he realizes she's not just being stupid, his demeanor completely changes. He isn't cruel just to be cruel, and he is certainly not indifferent to her guilt. He doesn't even pretend he has a simple answer. But he persuades her to do the only thing that won't make things worse.
I wish this show was still on the air
It's on Amazon Prime and Peacock.
You ever realize that House usually treat his patients for more than physical pain. People will visit a therapist 6x a week, and House is the one that will be blunt enough to tell them they only sick cause they found out they husband ran the stop signs and ate too much corn flour.
I love this show ❤️
I just realized that House always knows what the patients should do to make their life better, but not when it comes to himself.
The parents killed the son. They killed him by parentifying the daughter.
its always so sad seeing kutner scenes
I always think the same when I see how good the Aussie guy is on here and how bad he is on that firefigher show now.
But i always watch them differently knowing what’s to come.
"Any advice?"
Yeah, get rid of your pressure-treated furniture.
When one lie comes out, everything said is suspect.
She played the doctors for fools by shocking them with a lie they were too uncomfortable to confront/verify.
6:18 ugh his eyes are beautiful
Ultimately the responsibility lies with the parents. You leave a kid in charge, they make reasonable decisions for a kid. If they aren’t old enough and/or you haven’t ensured they understand the responsibility well enough, then that’s kind of on you.
