Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The main drawback of an tracheotomy procedure is permanent loss of voice. It may be corrected to some extend by certain other procedures. But in the episode Miss. Rebecca is depicted to have no such problem and she talks rather normally. more

You can't always get what you want., 6 September 2008
9/10
Author: lastliberal from Florida

Terrible with patients, Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) is excellent in determining what is wrong with them and then curing them.

He gets right to the heart of the matter, whether it is someone that is dying, or someone who is a hypochondriac, or a mother that thinks she knows more than her doctor does.

He doesn't mince words, and believes all people lie.

This episode introduces the characters we will grow to love and introduces the best medical show on television.

Directed by Brian Singer, who gave us X-Men and X2, this is one exciting show.
