In case anyone's interested, over 30, 000 Canadian men joined the US Army to fight in Vietnam

Can Dr House please just turn into a show about this callous badass ex-doctor vigilante who breaks into people’s houses to cure their chronic pains and illnesses when the hospitals get it wrong, purely to spite the US healthcare system? I would watch that for 200 seasons

Phantom limbs are one of the most fascinating studies in neuro psychology, it makes so much sense yet it blows my mind at the same time.

FYI. The mirror box is real. I lost a good portion of my left hand. I had phantom pain, and the box instantly got rid of it. Over 30 years later, still no pain.

House is the living embodiment of the phrase "dragged kicking and screaming into a better day"

House commiting multiple felonies to spite a veteran. Iconic.

This is why it’s so important to know a persons story. He wasn’t an asshole just to be one. His pain crippled him in an asshole condition.

For those wondering, this is an actual thing that has been used to treat phantom limb pain

Had surgery and kept asking every nurse to put my legs down as I had them bent when going under for surgery. .every nurse kept saying "they are down"...finally a nurse I asked propped then up and put them down, the pain went away when she did this!!..I will never forget her

You can tell he's Canadian because in the end he got free healthcare

House knows about non stop pain making someone angry & bitter.

In reality, this does often work but it takes a bit of time. To explain it in simple terms the brain has to "re-map" itself to fix phantom pain. The mirror tricks the brain and allows this process to happen quickly and, sometimes, very effectively. It's a pretty common technique used in clinical settings👍

Fun fact: this happens due to something called "mirror neurons" which is also why when men see someone get kicked in the nuts, we can also kind of feel it.

Imagine nothing happened after he let go

Just a mention, you muscles and still be in the position when you lost it. Meaning it's in a constant lock hold grip in something that can't "let go". My great uncles leg did the same. He'd always have to sit there for a bit with his eyes closed and you can see the tension from his leg go as if he put his foot down to rest finally. Rest well that man. He taught me alot more than any of my parents.
