HOUSE IS BACK AT WORK AFTER RECOVERING FROM MULTIPLE GUNSHOT WOUNDS AND TAKES ON TWO CASES SIMULTANEOUSLY - ONE OF WHICH HE PUSHES TO THE EDGE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT, PROMPTING CUDDY AND THE TEAM TO QUESTION HIS MOTIVES ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "HOUSE" TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, ON FOX

Kathleen Quinlan Guest-Stars

Show Airing in 8:00 PM Timeslot for Four Weeks

House has recovered from multiple gunshot wounds and is back at work, taking on two cases simultaneously: Richard, paralyzed after brain cancer surgery eight years ago, who drove himself on his motorized wheelchair headfirst into a swimming pool; and Caren, a young woman paralyzed from the neck down after a yoga session. As House begins to diagnose and treat them, the team notices a distinct change in his attitude toward the patients, and Cameron even catches Richard's wife thanking House for his sensitivity to her husband's situation. House suspects that Richard could possibly walk again, but he has no specific medical proof to back up his hunch and the various treatment avenues he pursues lead nowhere. Cameron and Foreman refuse to indulge House and his theories, which they feel he's pursuing merely to make the case interesting for himself. Cuddy and Wilson also are convinced House is creating a mystery out of Richard's case to cure his own boredom, but he denies it and becomes more frustrated when his theories do not point to a cure for Richard, forcing House to face an unpleasant truth in the ³Meaning² episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Sept. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-301) (TV-PG L)

TV Guide Description: "Meaning"
"A pain-free House opens his third season on the run. Literally. After eight weeks of rehab from the shooting, he's running to the hospital, where two patients await him. One is a mute quadriplegic (the result of brain cancer) who drove his wheelchair into a pool. The other is a paralyzed young woman who injured herself in a yoga accident. But there's no evidence of spinal damage. House wants both cases because, he says, he wants to help the patients."
