@@sarahbrightmore3749 might not be the case for you but yes it definitely is quite true..

But for this she just didn't want anything else happening to her child like if he had put in the other thing then he could have been poisoned even more atleast now they actually know what the issue is in the drama

@@sarahbrightmore3749 okay but thats not what i said. i just said you might think its true, but it's still a reality for some unfortunately

I know there are. But this lady literally just didnt want her son to get a deadly treatement for a pesticide she knows he didn't use. I dont think that was about control, i think she actually wanted her son to not...kick off.

@@sarahbrightmore3749 yes but that's the thing, what are they protecting them from? Parents are not doctors, they have zero understanding on the ins and outs of even properly disposing the needle, let alone using one. So who are they protecting when they argue back and forth with the doctor, who is in a race against the very thing that is potentially killing that child. The more time they argue, the more time the disease or condition advances, At some point, some of these things are TERMINAL. and then its too late to even attempt to do anything. The thing that they are trying to protect their children from, are the very things they can do NOTHING about. They are absolutely powerless against it. So they are attempting to get some control back by dictating what THE TRAINED EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS do. Well the trained educated professionals have signs of particular chemicals or can identity the virus, and you're trying to argue about is that you don't believe their evidence that it is the chemical or disease? When you can't do that yourself? What? do you have time to run towards another person? another hospital? who has to do the very same thing? and then by that time your child is dead?

Yes, 12 minutes in and House was usually looking to cut open the patient's brain, especially during sweeps weeks. All advice should be rejected until the very end of the show.

At least she also knows it can't be lupus

@@sdaniels7114 And then it turns out there will be a part 2, or you are the poor sod who has to die to make drama or show how unhinged House is due to his consume/non-consume of Painmeds.

Except for the part that she controls her son's life to the point of testing for drugs even when she "trusted him".

While we’re at it … How would House treat poor Hamilton Burger’s amnesia? He forgot that Perry Mason won EVERY SINGLE CASE. (Okay 99.9%.)

For real. It's so frustrating how many female doctors STILL struggle to get the respect they deserve.

@@vulcanhumor it was not about the “Female” doc getting less respect, but your own personal incompetence always leads you to the gender. It was about that doctor being a female who could understand what a mother, who is also a female, would feel.

@@RR9sf yes, it was the female doc getting less respect. Her gender doesn’t matter in the discussion. Literally every other doctor tried, they only sent her cuz she was the last one who hadn’t, and the MOTHER assumed some sexist motive and discredited her. “Personal incompetence”, not sure what you mean by this, but incompetence can be frequently a male thing (I mean, our society is patriarchal, and look how much it sucks lol). It’s not just a female thing.

@@heartysteer8752 She's not a Doctor. And no profession is done perfectly. She brough him there to get help and they are doing their best to provide that help. She was right about the the first bit...Good job. She saved her son and gave him a BIT more time. But if she wants him to leave the hospital alive then she needs to let them take the information they gathered from the first flub and use it to save his life.

actually that is exactly wrong - it is a consilience of inductions - guessing is for maroons

@@JamesJoyce12 Any theory or hypothesis is always "best guess". Guessing is what doctors do, very rarely do people have symptoms that 100% line up with a single diagnosis and nothing else at least not the first few times they see a doctor...

@@ssu7653 dude - you are recycling arguments that have been laughed at for centuries - making an informed probabilistic assessment is not a guess - here is a true - guess - guess how many fingers I am holding up which one in particular - now that is a "guess" - although in ur case you may have encountered it before so it becomes a probabilistic assessment.

@@JamesJoyce12 Unless you know for sure, its a guess. When you think something is true but have yet to find and proof, its a guess. If there was 0 guessing involved, everyone with (or without) medial training would be able to diganose any and all disease with 100% accuracy. Its not as simple as plugging X number of symptoms into a calculator and getting the answer...

@@ssu7653 DDXing is not that common in the real world. And there’s definitely no hospital that has an entire team of people whose jobs are just compiling theories to make a diagnosis. Doctors look at the presented symptoms and can usually know which series of tests can identify or rule out. Sometimes they consult colleagues within or outside their hospital system to get an objective opinion, but that’s usually uncommon. In the real world if people got the diseases that these people on House presented with, they’d be found right away, clear themselves on their own without extensive hospitalization, or die before a diagnosis can be made.

She played the role a little too well...

Either way flip a coin the kid coulda croaked. The moral is Doctors have the knowledge and the mother has her instincts and gut.

Narcissism

Makes it rather obvious why she's a single mother, doesn't it? Who could possibly stand being married to that?

And the irony of her drug testing her own son's hair from his hair brush while saying she trusts her son.

My mother told my doctor to increase my Lithium prescription from 500mg when I was 13 and 90lbs. The doctor told her if it’s not working then maybe he’s not mentally ill. He refused to increase the dosage and she changed doctors. If it killed me it was doctor’s fault if it didn’t she was a concerned mother. Narcissists are insane

Well, the CDC budget after the pandemic rose to 8.7 millions which sounds like a lot...until you find that they receive around three thousands requests monthly, many of those related to probable infectous deseases, dangerous ones, so, yes, I think that a issue which only Is afecting two kids with no signals of beong contagious wouldnt recieve a quick answer.

They should of said , Public health. But if it was government spraying pesticide, it would be of CDC interest.

@@cesaravegah3787 I imagine they get a lot of false alarms. I am fairly certain that a *doctor* is meant to call in the CDC on cases, not just anyone with a telephone. One guy on youtube thought he had a "rare" parasite. What he had was a regular botfly, lol. He was insulted when the CDC said they weren't interested. And in the other hand, the CDC was on site two days after a guy was hospitalized and began showing signs of "flesh-eating" bacteria. The CDC really wants to know about such cases. The docs thought at one point they were going to have to amputate this guy's arm to save his life. Turned out the runaway infection spreading throughout his body was strep - it had just gotten under the faschia and spread like crazy. And could have killed him. He "only" lost a finger due to blood flow being cut off from swelling.

The CDC gets a lot of weird requests. In a country with milliona of people each with their own fears, idiosyncracies etc, you just know a good thousand people call the CDC for silly requests that cases like in this clip is often treated as unimportant

If this kid somehow manage get smallpox they would the first ones there

The fact that people don't want to face when talking about doctors, airline pilots, etc is that they really are human. Not Superman, gods or what ever else, just human, and like everyone else, despite years of education and experience, can also make mistakes.

Yup. Someone comes in with a cough and fever, it could literally be anything from a common cold to flippin' Ebola. Until they run the tests, and they will do so multiple times to be sure, they simply don't know.

My son became ill. Kidney failure and possibly appendicitis. They were certain he'd smoked synthetic cannabis(legal at the time for 18+)he was 14. made us leave so they could ask him, he denied it still. Turned out to be an infection but due to his age - days away from being legally able to make his own medical decisions- they treated him as an adult for consent purposes, but admitted him to the children's ward after he got out of ICU because then he could have a parent stay with him. They may have been wrong on the original diagnosis, assuming it was drug related, but they did get the rest right.

On every serious health issue my children have ever had we were met with dismissal and everything I said was ignored. When further testing or therapy was done I was proved correct each time. They need to do better because a mother's instincts can be an asset.

My brother would be dead right now if my mother had blindy listened to doctors. Luckily, we had a kind, accommadating doctor that performed an extra test to put her mind at ease. That test caught a recurrence of cancer BEFORE it shoed itself on a CT scan, which saved his life. That was 25 years ago, and my brother is still alive because of it.
