Brain Dead | House M.D..

The team try to help a patient that seems to be trapped inside his own head... some might call it being 'brain dead'.

From ''Locked In'' (Season 5, Episode 19): After being hurt in a motorcycle accident, House (Hugh Laurie) shares a hospital room with a bicycle-accident victim (Mos Def) who's unable to move or communicate in any way. House figures the man to have locked in syndrome and gets him transferred to Princeton. Meanwhile, House won't tell Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) why he was in New York, arousing Wilson's suspicions.

This is the official YouTube channel for House M.D.. Watch all of the official clips from the series, the funniest and saddest moments, and follow all of the doctor's most curious cases.

This episode was so well done, at least in my opinion. It was mad cool being inside the patient's head, and he was so quippy despite everything going. What a legend.

Putting you inside the pacient's head while he was trapped was such an amazing decision because makes you feel the nightmare he is living. When he saw his finger moving and thought "I did it" I almost cried.

This episode spiked my anxiety something fierce. This is such a nightmare scenario, being alive, unable to control your body and everyone around you thinking you're dead.

Oh, the joys of the nervous system. The man is completely disabled aside from eye motion and blinking, and yet his pain receptors work perfectly fine and he can feel every millimeter of that catheter. Because anatomy.

The guy saying “please shut up” was just too good. 😂😂😂

[kruppinsfm]

Locked-In syndrome looks like a nightmare, but through-out this clip, the hope build up is pretty cool, also seeing that technology so he could communicate was neat.

This is why you ALWAYS talk to the patient, before, during and after any procedure. ALWAYS presume they can hear and understand everything. I knew a girl who was in a coma for 10 years. Her nurses never talked to her. They would just suddenly grab her tracheostomy (tube in a hole in the neck) and start moving it without talking to her first. She remembered all of this. When she finally "woke up" she was able to react when the nurses did this, although she couldn't talk so she BIT THE NURSES NOSE. I am a student nurse now but have been a carer for years. ALWAYS TALK THROUGH EVERYTHING WITH THE PATIENT NO MATTER WHAT STATE THEY ARE IN.

I love how they changed from the patients POV to the regular episode format so as the audience we don't know if hes still alive or not after the brain surgery

I grade locked in syndrome as one of THE worst things to experience. I've never experienced it my self, but I've read the stories, seen videos of people who recovered and those who didn't. It's must be absolutely terrifying being locked in your own body like that, fully aware, but can't do nothing.

God I remember after my stroke waking up and being unable to talk. I thought I was, I was trying to, but the nurses tucking me in and starting to do my vitals didn't hear me.
I was petrified the entire time that this episode is what was gonna happen to me. Thankfully, I just needed a few days to speak again

[kianaone]

And that doctor who wanted to rip his heart out without testing for lock in syndrome should lose his license.
As a doctor your suppose to test for EVERYTHING before saying "he is brain dead and he has a good heart for donation."
That doctor had his priorities all mixed up.

Mos Def is a great actor. He really should be in more shows and movies.

[gingertea]

Love how my guy is kinda chill throughout this living nightmare of a situation

2:25 “oh that’s very thoughtful of you” lmaaooo

[Plluvi]

Tech is so cool - the communication with a diagnosed brain dead patient between his doctors was so well done!!!

[vitomcsween]

This episode was quite unique from the other in the series cuz it showed a different angle and a different perspective

[rustyhowe]

I like how the team was happy to let the poor man know what they were doing and what it was going to achieve even though he couldn't respond.
When I see that in real life it always warms me, so many who wake up remember not being treated like a corpse.

[theish]

Honestly massive props to the actor here. It is shockingly difficult to play dead like that

[YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Audition for this patient's part: 
"OK, can you just lie there and do nothing? No, no, no. No emotion, no movement. Nothing. ... Yeah, that's more like it. Do it again--but more so. ... That's it! You're brilliant! You're perfect for the part. You're hired. See you on set Monday morning."

[mokibuu]

That "Welcome back" followed with the "I did it" warmed my heart <3

[johnman]

This episode is so weird. If you see it for the first time it gives you anxiety. But if you see it a second time it's so comforting.
