One of the few times House said "good for you" to a patient. Primarily for finally being honest with him.

I like how bro leans in to not miss the cake with his throwup

[mcaloogravy]

lil bro: does your arm hurt
big bro: arms fine bro
lil bro: well its bleeding

I can’t imagine the stress of being barely an adult and suddenness having the responsibility of two kids. He has an impossible choice and Foreman is just trying to make him feel guilty.

2:40 I appreciate him saying "If I'm right, he'll still be alive." Indicating that he believes his joke is about an un-serious situation. It's house so it's obviously gonna escalate from here, but at least he isn't toying with something he THINKS is dangerous...

“Put your ear above your head” would have been a perfect line

[dangeary]

The best case would be to ask his siblings who they want to raise them.
It would hurt anyone to ask a younger brother or sister to help save themselves.
The other side of that would be that they have an older brother that would be raising them “by hand” over someone that did not share their values doing it.

It’s a tough decision.

The actor that played this kid is now 41. His name is Patrick Fugit.

Foreman shaming an 18 who lost both his parents for not taking "care" of his siblings is definitely something. Anyways, I am more curious how he is going to pay the bills.

[RemyDarling]

He's so young. He's so tired.
He did what he could, but it
wore him into the ground. He
wasn't ready to become a parent.
Foreman shouldn't have said that
to him. Just because that's what
you want to believe -- the poor kid
lost his parents, was fighting for
his life and is taking on the
responsibility of his siblings.

[rushayhays]

It’s dumb that Foreman is shaming that teenager for not taking care of his siblings. It’s not like he would lose the right to visit and check up on his siblings if they were in foster care, and that would take a lot of the pressure off of that kid so he could focus on getting his own life straightened out/ in a better situation.

“Party of Five” Powerful stuff - the OC of its day.

👍🏻 Deep cut, I’m glad someone else remembers Party of Five.

[ashleydah]

Those kid actors are something else! ❤

Has there ever been an episode where no one has a seizure?

[Nk_Grv]

Sometimes, responsibility is like a mountain

[louwrentius]

House was always on his best in episodes with patients in moral / ethical dilemmas where he would be sympathetic to the underlying motives of people, like the episode of the thin sporty woman, who rather be sick and thin than fat and healthy 🤷‍♀️

[j-hackhammer]

Foreman : "the risk for the kid is next to nothing."
Jack : "this is a surgery, he's gonna die"
Foreman : "am i a joke to you ?"

[tuyous]

Didn’t Foreman leave his brother while he was down? Kinda hypocritical to preach “do it for them” to this kid.

[irift]

I wish they showed the medical bills the survivors of these episodes had to face after being "saved". Nothing like crippling debt and the joys of that anxiety/stress to live with for the rest of your life to be "thankful" for being "saved" 😂

[JaymiLei]

I love House, always have.. but their medical consultants should have told them that looking at axial brain images Left and Right are opposite from your personal left and right. I know it was labeled that way in the images but that would have never been that way in real life lol
