Rowan's visit

[edit]

so in their last meeting, since Rowan sanctioned House having a talk with Robert, Rowan believes that when Chase says he'll see him that he's being sarcastic and spiteful? --OOODDD (talk) 04:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More likely a little white lie: Rowan is sparing his son (and himself, perhaps) the likelihood of an extended emotional entanglement should his impending death become known to both. --drone5 (talk) 03:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thalidomide

[edit]

No mention of the treatment being thalidomide? A small detail, but a surprising one. Significant--though not to this episode--is the fact that some people--being members of families affected by the awful birth defects caused by prenatal thalidomide use--oppose any use of the drug, despite it having significant benefits in certain cases (though it should not be given to women intending to bear children, of course). --drone5 (talk) 03:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chlamydia

[edit]

To whom it may concern, there's an error at 5.31 minutes into the episode. Foreman suggests Chlamydia "pneumoniae" as a diagnosis, and Cameron responds that 12-year-olds do not have sex. Chlamydophila pneumoniae (previously known also as TWAR (Taiwan Acute Respiratory)) as walking pneumoniae is a lung infection that spreads through respiratory droplets and exposures to respiratory secretions (similar to the way many other respiratory diseases are spread).

Chlamydia "trachomatis", on the other hand, is spread through sex. Chlamydophila pneumoniae is furthermore associated with chronic illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Pyoderma gangrenosum, Coronary Artery Disease and Interstitial Cystitis. --Pillartopost (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]

SLE - Scleroderma

[edit]

About halfway through the episode Chase's dad told him that he was there for the S.L.E. conference, to which Chase responded: "You were in New York last year for the scleroderma conference. I didn't hear anything from you."

But S.L.E. is short for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, isn't it? Maybe this could be mentioned in the article under "Medical errors" or such? --Diblidabliduu (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
