In the episode when House was shot and completely hallucinating, it starts with a man whose tongue, eyeball, and....private parts swell and explode. Did they ever explain what that guy had??? I always wanted to know if they explained it or if they just never told us. That was the craziest thing and I wanna know!

I thought it was all part of his dream/hallucination, because it happened between the time he got shot and the endo of the show where they moved back to him being shot and wheeled away on a gurney. I missed the premiere episode of the next season so I've been lost all year.

I must have missed that episode! In which season did it air? I've only recently begun watching the series, so maybe you can fill in the blanks for me. Was House lame from the first episode, or is it shown in any episode in the series how he acquired his injury?

House has the cane from the beginning but i believe in the second or third season theres this one episode where hes lecturing to medical students and tells his whole story of what happened to him. I think he was addicted to morphine and got some blood clot in his leg or something like that and they had to remove his muscle and thats why hes limping and always in pain. someone add on to this or correct me cuz i dont want to be wrong :)

I think it was part of his hallucintating. But I could be wrong. Some times there a little things in the show that are not well explained. But that is one of the reasons I like it. I love Hough Laurie. That reminds me, is House on tonight? Since American Idol has been on I can't always find House and when I do it is usually a re-run.

i wondered the same thing. i thought i missed something. haha. thanks for asking that question. another thing that i would like to know though is....can that really happen???? that was so gross! i was telling my husband about that epidsode, and when i explained all the popping and swelling body parts, he just made this face. i dont know anything about medicine,but it seems like the cases that they work on could be real. so thats why i was wondering if that one was something that could possibly happen.

Do you ever wonder how medically accurate the show is? These shows have medical expert consultants to help them write, and in shows like ER and CSI I can pick out the errors, but House usually presents some obscure disease, so it's hard to question. I keep saying I'm going to watch with my medical disctionary in my lap, but the show is too compelling to look things up.
