Diagnostic Dilemma - House MD Style
Rare case diagnosis with typical House skepticism
Dr. House, Dr. Wilson8 lines
Full Script
Dr. House: The patient is lying. They're all lying. Rule number one.
Dr. Wilson: She's a twelve-year-old girl with seizures. What could she possibly be lying about?
Dr. House: That she's not doing drugs. That she's not having sex. That she's not trying to kill herself.
Dr. Wilson: House, she has a brain tumor. It's on the MRI.
Dr. House: MRIs lie too. False positives happen.
Dr. Wilson: So what's your brilliant theory?
Dr. House: Wilson's disease. Copper poisoning. But not from genetics. From her jewelry.
Dr. Wilson: That's... actually possible.
