1. House has a car (*doing the happy dance at being proved right*)
2. House has nerve damage from the infarction (*another round of the happy dance*)
3. House had already had his infarction when he was hired, so he has been dealing with this for at least six years.
4. At the beginning of Detox, House was up to around 80 mg of hydrocodone a day, which is about twice the recommended max. dose.
5. Obvious now, but House is physically addicted to the Vicodin and seems to be using it to treat pain besides the pain in his leg.
6. Wilson knew him before the infarction. I think this is important for setting a time-frame, because Wilson is clearly younger than House and they would NOT have gone to med school together. Ergo, House was already a doctor when the infarction occurred.
