A Jerk's Diagnosis | House M.D..

Upon meeting the family, House begins a bet to determine whether they are his biological parents. After Dan exhibits more symptoms, including a myoclonic twitch and a blocked blood vessel, House diagnoses Dan.

Season 1 Episode 2 "Paternity"
A 16-year-old high school student, Dan (Scott Mechlowicz), starts suffering night terrors and frequent hallucinations after playing lacrosse at school. Dan's parents take him to see Dr. House after receiving a letter that Cameron sent in House's name.Dan suffers from an auditory hallucination during a procedure, however, ruling out House's diagnosis. Using coffee cups from the parents, House does an unauthorized paternity test and discovers that neither parent is biologically related to Dan. House flashbacks to a case he had earlier that involved a mother who did not want her baby to be vaccinated and theorizes that Dan is suffering from a measles virus contracted during his childhood. House confirms his diagnosis with a retinal biopsy and successfully cures Dan.

The scariest thing about this scene is when a doctor who, previously, was dismissing the case and making it out to be nothing comes back in, questions a twitch, and then says “admit him”, you know something is very wrong.

That explains everytime I've went to school and my body jerks me awake lol. My brain was concerned I was dying of boredom

[vitomcsween]

A jerk's diagnosis basically every episode of House

[Jasminethegrayknight]

When you think house has no * conscience but then drops everything to make sure a kid isn’t possibly being sexually abused 😌

House: Name as many animals starting with B

The whole big reveal of this episode had been the fact that the kid had never been immunized against Measles and it had lain dormant in his brain when he caught it. It only in recent days had begun to spread and create the symptoms. unfortunately, the condition was a rare form of encephalitis only typically caused by basically ineffectual Measle variants which have been so mutated that they don't have the ability to quite so easily kill their host and thus lay dormant or asymptomatic and go undiagnosed. Typically a severely mutated virus will just die off on its own or the human immune system will obliterate it. With Measles however its a really insidious virus since its an immunosuppressant (similar to HIV) and since this particular strain was NOT "doing its job" the body doesnt recognize it as a threat until some trigger event causes them to start replicating out of control.

Enough time has passed since season 8 was first broadcast to watch it all again. Restarting the first season. It’s still brilliant.

Hugh hit it out of the park with house...show was true perfection to watch. Not sure another actor could have done as well.

[constipatedbowels]

4:51 his native british accent is struggling to break free....

[keurikeuri]

Love how some patients tell you they didn't have it when asked about something. But when the consultant comes they suddenly have it. It really makes your day when patients like that make you look incompetent in front of your superiors.

1:14 You can see Chase already filled in Cretinism in 9 down

[moustafa]

God Cameron in the early season was adorable.

[denster]

House does his job. He's direct and appears like a jerk - but he is always watching and always ready to change his approach.

[Dontwatchthischannel]

this show ended 8 years ago,
still watching

[doncorleone]

you should know that you are a legend, continue uploading our favourite show

[carwashgaming]

So many memories come back watching this show again.

[gregorylu]

House is the greatest show to teach medical students about medical history. No report of the concussion, no report of the twitching. Wasted 15 minutes of time, made House frustrated with Cameron.

[cliffy]

"Any recent shootouts at your high school?"
Love House's humor.

[sanddagger]

When Cameron cannot argue with anything else she points out his one misdiagnosis was that she was an only child.

3:37 nochalantly asking "any recent shootouts at your school"
