Houses existence is like his own punishment in hell; he sees everything that could have been with the other two patients. If his diagnosis was correct, he could’ve been the volleyball player who kept her leg. If he had chosen to amputate, he could’ve been the farmer with the prosthetic who still had a fulfilling, active life. Instead, he got the worst middle ground: a leg that’s essentially useless and causes him constant pain. But that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that he could still get rid of it for a prosthetic and end the pain. He could get off his pain killer addiction, but his pride will never allow it. It’s the perfect prison: he could escape at any time, and he’s the only one keeping himself there. It’s this self awareness that’s the true torture

Here’s something I don’t understand, those two cases, the farmer’s and the volleyball player’s, he took them when he already had his team, which means after his leg surgery. So why did he see them when he was dead? If by the time he had his leg surgery he hadn’t took those cases yet. It doesn’t make sense. All I can think of is that what he actually saw was himself, in one scenario he saw himself exercising without pain on his leg and in the other scenario he saw himself with the prosthetic but since the audience didn’t now there was a gap in time between the cases, he used the cases to explain what he saw.

Five years before the events of the series, House suffered an infarction while golfing. The infarction was an internal blockage of an artery in his leg. House refused to amputate and instead underwent a risky bypass surgery with an incredibly painful recovery process. The pain during his recovery was so bad that he was placed in a medically induced coma. This means that his then-girlfriend, Stacy, had control over his medical care since she was his medical proxy. Ignoring his wishes, Stacy used her power as his proxy to have the dead tissue in House’s leg surgically removed. Leaving House in crippling pain, Stacy’s decision had shattered the trust between them, and her relationship with House ended quickly after. Ultimately, this is how House developed an addiction to Vicodin, and a sharpened cynicism to the world around him.

True. Made sense. The three cases presented I think were all segments of the truth. Stacy was indeed his proxy. In some episodes later though House showed some bitterness of getting rid of a patient's leg as a "lower risk" alternative protecting themselves as doctors and not necessarily doing what was best for the patient. "Tell them it risks the leg, and they start to sharpen their knives!" I think this was personal to him too. One story was of the addict trying to score. I think House was an addict or substance abuser even before his "golfing" accident. And it got worse when he got chronic pain from his leg. I don't think that House resented Stacy for "making the wrong decision". I think he resented her because she left him after she became bitter from the decision he could not make that she made. He could have become bitter as an amputee as well. He felt that she didn't really love him when he descended into his struggles afterward. That's probably House feelings more abandoned and pushing her away a lot though.

@Christopher Marlowe Sorry. You've spent a lot of time not reading much. "Sure, we can break everything down to the atomic level and see what things are made of and how they interact with each other, but we have no understanding of how it actually works" What have you NOT been reading. We have an awful lot of knowledge about quantum mechanics, physics, social interactions and psychology/psychiatry. Enough that you can literally fill libraries with the information. We know how the planets orbit larger bodies, we have an excellent understanding of the mechanics of gravity. We even found the particle that creates gravity. We have an excellent understanding of neuropsychology and chemistry. We know how the Sun works. Do we know 100%? Of course not. You think that's NOT understanding how something works? You need to actually read. Even more so, religion literally explains *nothing* about the world and nothing about how it works. It explains nothing about psychology, sociology, anatomy, neurology, chemistry, biology, cosmology, economics and an even greater number of things than I have space or time to list. It's a frankly ludicrous claim to make that science understands nothing. Such claims can only be made by those that haven't read it or lack the capacity to understand. I'd say you're one of the former.

Reducing belief in an afterlife to believing our current life is a test isn’t accurate anyway. At least to Christianity. The value of life, reality, here and now is always emphasized. To say life is a test from experience is more of a misconception from atheists, agnostics and poorly catechized laymen. Or something like an old gnostic heresy. Better yet, the modern meme/conspiracy theory that we’re in a Matrix simulation.

That's not how medical proxies work though. If a patient is awake and competent, and they give a directive how they want the treatment to go, when they are sedated or in a coma, they generally can't be over-ruled if the treating physicians know the patient's wishes beforehand. @@peachydarl

@devanto564 Except, at least in Orthodox Christianity, that’s not accurate at all. Believing life is just a test is more of a misconception from atheists, agnostics, poorly catechized laymen and gnostic heretics. There’s the principle of Infallible Ignorance for people who don’t know and can’t possibly have known, and then there’s the Harrowing of Hell too. The whole point of forgiveness of sins and mercy is that you get it even if you don’t deserve it. No, for Christians of Orthodox views, God doesn’t send you to Hell to suffer forever for failing an arbitrary test. You send yourself there because you reject Him and don’t want to live with Him for the rest of eternity, so instead you’re separated from Him forever. The suffering is a natural consequence of that, like a guy jumping off a roof and falling from gravity.

Not sure if anyone's ever noticed this, but during the scene where House predicts himself going into cardiac arrest, at 7:05 in the video, exactly before he says 'or I go into wide complex tachycardia', his heart monitor stops beeping. He knew he was correct about what was going to happen, but as though going through the books of estimating how much time he has left from the moment he looked at the papers like a normal doctor, he says the nurse has about 20 seconds to prevent it from happening, and even though he likely ALREADY knew he didn't have that much time given he knew his heart already stopped and was functioning without any blood being pumped about in his body. He was just desperately HOPING he had those textbook 20 seconds, and you can see in his eyes and hear in his voice when he says 'you got about 20 seconds' that he doesn't believe that figure one little bit. Pair that with his own doctors screwing up his leg in the first place by going by the books, this last act of clinging to normal medical diagnostic procedures would mark the last time House would ever see going by the books to be anything but the wrong choice. 'I was wrong.' Indeed he was, and after doubly experiencing first hand the kind of thing a patient goes through when their doctor is wrong, you get a double dose of a cynical Gregory House when any patient he sees is ignorantly forcing him to do the wrong thing to them for reasons he knows are dumb because they'd be reasons bad doctors, like his own, would agree with.
