Another episode where House wears a lab coat.
The patient, a punk rocker named Jimmy Quidd, was inspired by punk rocker Jimmi Quidd, who sang with New York punk band The Dots and produced for the band Bad Brains.
The explosion caused by the patient smoking while using an oxygen tank would not have happened. Oxygen is not flammable and thus cannot combust--it would only intensify a fire or explosion already present. The patient's cigarette may have burned more furiously, as well as anything ignited by a stray cigarette spark. Still, there definitely would not have been such a spontaneous explosion as portrayed.
