A PATIENT IS CAUGHT BETWEEN FAMILY AND A CODE OF HONOR ON AN ALL-NEW "HOUSE" MONDAY, APRIL 2, ON FOX

The team treats an Army veteran charged with treason after he leaked classified information. But the patient’s life is put at risk when he refuses treatment unless he and his brother are given information about their late father, a war veteran, which raises questions about loyalty to one’s family and country. Meanwhile, Adams suspects House may be sick, so she recruits Wilson and the other team members to plan an intervention and investigate his illness in the all-new "Blowing the Whistle" episode of HOUSE airing Monday, April 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
