2.09 Deception
Initial Symptoms: Woman with seizure + bruising
Diagnosis: Munchausen's syndrome (Cameron) + Clostridium perfringens infection (House)
Contributions by Team
House (1): Diagnosis for C. perfringens infection
Chase (1): Suggests a tumor, leading to discovery of pancreatic scarring
Cameron (2): Tricks patient for diagnosis, diagnosis for Munchausen's syndrome
Foreman (0): None
Notes: A lot went wrong while Foreman was in command.
Cameron gave the patient antibiotics to diagnose Munchausen's syndrome, but this interfered with diagnosis of her infection so Cameron receives an error. It doesn't seem fair to do that, but Cameron could have found another method to diagnose the Munchausen's.
House received an error in giving patient colchicine to lower her white blood cell count, a dangerous move that also interfered with her diagnosis. If the team had gone ahead with the radiation treatment there would have been another error assigned.
Foreman was assigned an error for discharging the patient while she was still sick.
