At the point in this episode where it looks like the African SS medication isn't working and the woman's vital signs are failing, there's a long close-up of House's face. I hadn't noticed in previous viewings just how scared/baffled/surprised/indignant(?) House looks as he slowly realizes that he may actually have killed a patient. I've seen him look concerned before but this was definitely different.


Just why was Cameron so interested in this couple anyway? I realize they tried to draw a parallel between this couple and Cameron's past, but did she really find so much in common with them that she had to be that spun-out about it? I really wanted to find/feel a connection, but it just didn't quite work for me. It seemed like she was connecting with the husband and then felt "failed" by him because he didn't stand by his wife and that was something she would have never done to her husband. Was that her emotional draw to this case? I guess so, but it still seems weird to me. I did like House's concern though.

Did the breast scene bother anyone else? If I had a doctor staring at my boobs the way he was staring at hers I'd get up and leave and report him to security! Let alone, calling in another doctor to look? Puhleeze. ack. Granted, okay, if it was doctor House, like there wouldn't be a problem. And there probably wouldn't be a bra. Is that what's called "double standards?"

Hmm, I'll have to look at that again. I was looking at his expression after she starts to come out of it and the ducklings all rush over. I think I'm a little closer to figuring that one out but... I'll take another look tonight and see what I see.

I think that was kind of the point, at least that's what I got. Cameron connected with the husband because she had been in a similar position. Sitting at her husband's bedside watching him die, unable to do anything to help. Now this is my take but when the husband expressed the sentiment that he hoped she died because it would mean she hadn't cheated I think it struck a cord with her because I'm sure at one point she wished her husband would die (for different reasons). I could get into the whole 'wish you would die' discussion but not unless someone feels it's necessary.

I think that's why she was so upset. She still feels guilty about having had those thoughts. It's part of why she so desparately wanted to get the husband to see that his wife loved him and just made a mistake. One mistake (like House?! my theory and I'm sticking to it). That at least he still had his wife whereas she no longer had her husband. Who knows, maybe down the road we'll find that she found a night of comfort in a friends arms while her husband lay dying?!

Well I would certainly be creeped out and I might say somthing just because if he's a doctor breast shouldn't be that much of a shock to him! I mean it's not like Anna Nicole Smith unveiled her rack there! And I'm big but not in that ballpark so if he got that much of a thrill over my boobs i would certainly wonder if he really was a doctor or someone that just slipped in the back door!

The only thing I can say is she 1) she seemed pretty proud of them. When he first gawked at them she seemed mighty pleased with herself. Once he continued to stare she became uncomfortable and kind of like rape victims maybe thought it was her fault that he was so overt in his attentions to her new breasts therefore did not say anything. And 2) I think she may have suspected that the fake boobs were the cause of here problems so did not object when he called for a consult and they (presumably) both gawked at them.

Hmmm I think I'd call that lust :huh: :o :lol:

I didn't really get this too much either, but I am starting to wonder how she's ever going to cope in this line of work when her addiction to emotional crisis rivals House's Vicodin habbit. You just know she is going to get over involved and seems to react off her emotional response far more than her clinical expertise.

If House was inappropriate about the surgically enhanced woman then her reaction to the husband was just as out of line. Her judgement of the guy was totally wrong professionally. I am not a Cameron hater by any stretch but I think we have to seen her in a poor light as far as being a doctor goes. She needs to have a week working objectively and coming up with a diagnostician's solution. And the whole self-help book thing was worrying - if she wants respect she should stick to doing what she's there to do. She needs to get past this martyr/saviour stage.

I have to agree about Cameron. They seem to have a problem with how to write the women on the show. Because I'm not really a Cameron or a Cuddy fan. But with Cameron, they seem to have her emotionally connected to everything and it seems like they're reaching.

As far as the breast scene.... Okay, I should probably be more unbiased, but I can't help it, I was laughing so hard. Partially because it was so ridiculous and I couldn't believe he called Wilson in to gawk with him. Yes, I know, I'm far too biased and it's definately in a way that favors both Wilson and House.
