MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, ON FOX
Guest Star Amber Tamblyn Begins Arc
It's election season, and in the midst of a tight campaign, an incumbent New Jersey senator's campaign manager falls ill with liver failure and temporary paralysis. Cuddy pushes House to add a female doctor to his team by hiring brilliant third-year medical student Martha Masters (guest star Tamblyn) in Thirteen's absence. House and the team are wary of the young doctor's lack of experience and medical perspective, but are forced to give their new by-the-book teammate a chance to prove herself. After the campaigning senator makes a surprising announcement, House and the team look to the candidate to find clues about the patient's condition. Meanwhile, Foreman learns that Taub has a past connection to Masters, and in an effort to save his patient's life, House must make a critical decision that may compromise his relationship with Cuddy in the all-new "Office Politics" episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Nov. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-706) (TV-14 D, L)
- Timeline
- It must be late October 2010 with midterms elections coming in one week.
- Patient of the Week
- Joe Dugan, 42, who runs the reelection campaign for a senator, develops a severe rash on his arm.
- How House gets involved:
- He is distracted by Cuddy's insistence that he hire a thrid year medical student to replace Thirteen and goes along with the attempts to diagnose as a way to test Martha M. Masters.
- The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking
- They break into the patient's home with the new team member objecting and later telling the patient. House tries to get Masters to lie to the patient but she wouldn't even to save his life.
- Preliminary diagnoses:
- The team at first thinks it is hepatitis C but the tests are w negative. So maybe it is toxic exposure. Then they consider Wilson¹s disease, a neuroendocrine tumor, or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Those don't pan ojut so they consider HSP (Henoch-Schönlein purpura) for which there are two treatments and Masters insists they give the choice to the patient although House has his own choice and treats the patient in spite of his choice. But that doesn't work.
- The final diagnosis
- House sees the Senator and concludes he has hepatitis C and so goes back to that diagnosis although the tests still indicate that Dugan doesn't have it. Dugan admits to sharing a cocaine straw with the Senator so House is convince he has it but the standard treatment doesn't work. So he wants to try a treatment that only works in 15% of cases. Cuddy insiststs that before he can, he must prove to her that the guy has hepatitis C. House gets blood from the Senator and puts Dugan's name on it.
- Who Came up with final diagnosis
- Although Chase first says "Hep C makes sense", he dropped it after being told the tests came back negative. House at the end decides the tests must have been wrong after Masters forces him to watch the Senator on TV and diagnosing him.
- Clinic Patients
- The Senator, sort of, at least House sees him in the clinic to test for Hep C.
- Additional Information:
- Cuddy discovers in the end that House lied to her about the Heo C test.
