[edit] End

This misses the point of the ending: "...but she refuses to open it and leaves the room. House appears to find this interesting, and tosses the unopened envelope into the trash." It should include the words she spoke to him before leaving the room, as the motivating reason for him giving up and throwing the envelope away.

[edit] Inaccurate

This summary is inaccurate in several places and should be rewritten. - 68.84.161.47

[edit] References

The goof about Foreman incorrectly explaining how blood type is determined needs a TON of sources —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoshiarecool (talk • contribs) 01:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Yoshiarecool, I internally linked to blood type as well if anyone is interested in a tutorial on the science of blood types. What other references would you recommend? Also, I just wanted to add that the relevant part of the goof isn't so much that Foreman agrees with House, what is most relevant is that House makes his diagnosis based upon faulty scientific reasoning that most science students would have figured out in undergrad, or even high school.

It seems from the blood type page they it may just have been a pronounciation error. In fact to test for blood type they look for antigens (that antibodies attack.) If the patient (blood type A) has A antigens on tehir blood cells, A antibodies would attack it so patient has no A antibodies. They do have B antibodies as they have no B antigens on thier blood cells. (If they had no B antibodies they would be type AB). In this case it would seem the Lupus created B antigens, however as these were not on blood cells they would have been moped up by the patients normal B antibodies (some remaining to be found in the test). However when the AB blood was injected all the B antigen coated blood cells were attacked, causing the problems. Jhumphrey 1Feb07

[edit] Oh-my-God line

That's a reference to Janice, one of the characters in Friends [1]. House says it twice, after checking that Cuddy's not wearing her thongs. Should that be included in the article? JJMerelo (talk) 19:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't see what makes you think it's a reference to Janice. Lots of people say "Oh my God." - Shaheenjim (talk) 06:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary is way too long

Added "Plot" tag: "The plot summary in this is too long compared to the rest of the article." Frankly, it's just too damn long, regardless of the overall length of the article. Two paragraphs is always plenty for a one-hour episode of an ordinary television series.

[edit] Permanent MRI Magnet?

In the "Behind the Scenes" section, it says "The magnet in an MRI scanner is always on" in reference to the key migrating through Finn's intestines as soon as he enters the scanner bore. But modern MRI scanners use superconducting magnets which offer superior stability and field strength over permanent magnets, and I'm sure Princeton-Plainsboro has only the most modern equipment ...

[edit] House doesn't like tea?

I recently watched the Resignation episode (got the dvd off a very nice friend :D ) and at the end of the episode when House is admitting all of his flaws to the nutritionist woman he says "I lie... and I don't like tea" before drinking the mint tea and smiling; which I took as being a joke and that he was 'proving' that he lies.

Is there somewhere else where it is confirmed that he doesn't like tea? I think there was another episode where he says it but he was joking about only liking coffee better because of the caffeine.

I'm new to wikipedia (well I've used it for ages but haven't created an account until recently) so I didn't want to try changing anything in case I messed up or stepped on anyone's toes ;)Bakabaikun (talk) 14:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
