Goofs

When Dr. Taub examines a patient's eyes with a direct ophthalmoscope, he correctly examines the patient's right eye with his own right eye, holding the ophthalmoscope in his right hand. But when he moves to examine her left eye, he continues to hold the ophthalmoscope in his right hand, and uses his right eye to examine the patient's left eye. In this position, it is impossible to get close enough to actually see the patient's retina, unless he gets so close that he would actually be kissing the patient, a practice frowned upon by most medical establishments. To examine the patient's left eye, he should have moved the ophthalmoscope to his own left eye, held it in his left hand, and he should have moved around to the patient's left side, to examine her left eye to left eye.

Quotes

Dr. Gregory House: Thirteen, go stick a needle in your girlfriend's pelvis. And no, that one wasn't a metaphor. Suck out some marrow. That one was.

Best of house

One of the best episode of Dr.House I have ever seen! The episode contains lesbian kisses and lesbian stuffs very pleasing to eyes and the story of House with Wilson also moves forward, they are back together and are having fun pulling each other legs.

The episode contains some witty and funny moments and House acts like typical House and makes the time fly by. Also 13 has some issues of her own, she is on a downward spiral due to her disease and gets very close loosing her job. Her love life is also explore in the episode thanks to House's private investigator and his pushy attitude.

Overall, great episode of Dr.House.
