Would a DNA Test Automatically go to the police?

[edit]

That sounds a bit far fetched... wouldn't that kind of go outside doctor/patient confidentiality? AVKent882 (talk) 04:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC) Yeah, it's fiction... It's kind of far-fetched and it doesn't seem to be technically implemented. However:[reply]

-Crimes are not covered by professional confidentiality. Doctors, psychologists, priests... have in the USA as well as in many other (most?) countries to denounce crimes committed by their patient if they come to know about them. It's actually a central point of the intrigue in The Sopranos when he talks to his psychologist...

-The technical implementation is probably just a few years away, as the DNA database of criminals is ready http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/lab/codis/codis-and-ndis-fact-sheet . In 2040 or so, it's likely that young people watching "old" movies will scream when seeing criminals going to the hospital: "That's stupid, he would have been arrested 2 minutes after his admission DNA check! Those old movies are so dumb!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.37.19.234 (talk) 13:59, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grace pun?

[edit]

Should it be mentioned that this episode featured Amber Tamblyn's former costar in Joan of Arcadia, AND is named with the third friend? 71.167.237.210 (talk) 00:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dominika

[edit]

I changed the sentence about Dominika from "presumably Russian" to non-identified Slavic origin, because:

a/ the name Dominika just doesn't exist in Russia. It is mainly a Bulgarian, Slova, Czech or Polish name.

b/ Kulich is a cake mainly known in Russia, Belarussia and Bulgaria

c/ The only thing House says to Dominika in a foreign language is "voidi, moya molishka"; It is very close to the Russian for "come in, (my) baby" (войди моя малышка), but with 2 mistakes and a terrible accent. Besides, she could be a Russian speaker from any Central European country (Russian is still widely known among Bulgarians, Czechs, Slovaks and Poles), and House could be using his rudiments of Russian to show off. The sentence does not make more sense in Serbian, Ukrainian or Bulgarian. Russian fits rather poorly but better than those 3.

The 3 elements together do not point to a single country but to Slavic countries in general, which was probably intended.

Actress is Polish, I don't know character's antionality, but it clearly isn't Czech, Slovakian nor Polish - i can defute it as I am native speaker of these three languages. There is moment in the episode, where she responds House: "Da!" which word doesn't really exist in those languages. As well her surname Petrova is not Polish (would be Petrowa), nor Czech or Slovakian (Petrová)... As I am aware, Dominika, as name in Russia exists... As well Ukrainian or Belorussian languages are very similar to Russian. Have a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.220.235.223 (talk) 04:59, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
