"I'm not a baby expert, but I'm pretty sure they are not supposed to shrink" savage 🤣😂

[foreverjune]

"Those parents werent abusive, they're idiots!"
Pretty much sums it all up.

[Epodmusic]

In the end it wasn't even the parent's fault. They genuinely cared about the health of their baby, spoke with a nutritionist to ensure what they were feeding the baby was okay and then took her to the Doctor when they saw something was wrong. The baby had a genetic disorder.

[madpinoy]

Sure... Social services will come and do this, but when a child is ACTUALLY being abused they are seldom intervening and don't care.

"Those parents aren't abusive, they're idiots!"
Vogler: "Are they gonna make me money? Then I don't care."

Honestly really love how House cares so much for kids, like the kid on the spectrum or when he threw away his cane to run to save a child when usually he will just call someone else to do it even if he is in the room (adults lie and are evil so according to his misanthropy but kids are of the utmost importance and still protects the innocent and shows that he cares way more that he’ll ever admit)

[irawilliams]

Despite his cynicism towards every patient he has, Dr. House has a soft spot for babies.

[YuugiArry]

Parents: *feeds their kid*
Parents: *notice things are wrong and brings kid to the hospital*
Dr: Change your feeding habits.
Parents: absolutely!
Kid: *gets better*
Hospital: *has parents arrested for neglect and abuse*
Meanwhile, a child two blocks away is beaten and starved for attention and CPS refuses to remove them from their home.

Something important this clip left out was that the parents made bail and came back to talk to House. They told him they consulted with a nutritionist about the diet she was on, who turned out to be the mothers uncle. This was enough to have House order more tests. Turned out the baby had a genetic disorder which caused her thymus gland to wither away, which was the real reason she couldn't gain weight. He brought this information to Cuddy and she called the police and social services and had all the charges withdrawn.

[WarriorAuranae]

One thing I want to point out that is *objective* and shown in this clip: when a doctor told them the diet was the problem, they didn’t argue and promised to change it.
Regardless of their previous choices and what was ultimately right or wrong, they proved they are caring parents with that response.

What's funny about this scene is that it is later revealed that the Baby's starvation was due to a rare medical condition(digeorge syndrome), and had nothing to do with their diet.

[jafeir]

I love how blunt he was being in explaining that they were inadvertently starving their baby. They looked so deflated when they realized that the diet was harmful to her. At least they were smart enough to listen

[toni]

When it comes to cuddy and babies it's like she forgets about everything else and losses sight of everything

[danielmcgillis]

In the end it wasn't the diet the baby had a genetic disorder. The baby was getting lots of fats, proteins and calories, just not absorbing them.

[ninjablack]

Is it just me or is House in season 1 more caring about his patients? He lied to give a transplant to one patient and now he is concerned about the vegan parents.

[bartdegryse]

i'm gonna enjoy the future "vegan comments" xD "grabs popcorn" edit: wow 4k likes!!?? This was meant to be a joke. 😂😂😂

[ellag.]

the funny thing about this episode is that it turns out it wasn't the parents' fault - the diet was fine and the baby had an unrelated illness

[Trumpeter]

I’m seeing a lot of comments about how House has a soft spot for babies and children, and given his backstory I think that was a good call on the writers’ part. In “Three Stories” we find out about how he got his limp, and that 1) he didn’t listen to the doctor’s advice and wanted a very risky surgery, which he seems to show regret for (hence why he says all patients are idiots because he’s including himself),
and 2) the decision was ultimately made by someone else. His right to refuse certain treatments was taken from him. Children are in a similar position where they can’t make their own medical decisions (which they shouldn’t. They’re children. They don’t know what’s best for them yet.) but the one who is making the decisions can sometimes be an idiot. House may not be able to give all children a choice, but he knows what it’s like to have your fate in the hands of another person, so he does the best he can: educate the caretakers, and keep the child alive until they can make a decision for themself.

If he didn't think they would change, I think he would report them. He doesn't actually want the tiny human to die

I have to give a lot of credit to the actors who played the parents. They did a fantastic job of portraying people who didn’t know they were harming their child. They did a fantastic job of showing people who now understand and will change their behavior… until they were arrested. Serious props to those actors!
