- Timeline
- Starts soon after House realizes that his obsession with medicine is the only thing that releaves his pain..
- Patient of the Week:
- President Dibala, the leader of an African nation, said to be engaging in genocide, comes to Princeton to see his son who is a student there. His car is stopped and he starts coughing up blood.
- How House gets involved:
- Realizing medicine is his lifeline, House joins the original team on the case though only as a advisor since he doesn't have his license back yet. Foreman is head of the team.
- The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking
- Oh, Chase! Foreman keeps Chase's secret. And House drugs, kidnaps, ties up & gags Wilson's downstairs neighbor (for a medical treatment, but still!).
- Preliminary diagnoses:
- Several poisons are suggested because they take into account the possibility of assassination attempts. Natural problems are also considered.
- The final diagnosis
- The final diagnosis killed the patient: scleroderma. When they treated him for that, the patient died and Foreman went along with that diagnosis because of the blood test Chase did (turns out that was faked). Real diagnosis was Foeman's: blastomycosis, a fungal infection.
- Who Came up with final diagnosis
- Foreman. House was wrong in thinking it was scleroderma.
- Clinic Patients
- Chase deals with a victim of the patient's administration. Later he attempts to assassinate the dictator and Chase tries to stop him.
