It was a good episode of 'House', most amusing. What was oddest about it was that three, apparently responsible, doctors enjoyed watching boxing. I wonder if they also enjoy watching dog fights and car accidents for fun.
I was a little disappointed that the reputation of syphilis as the 'great pretender' wasn't explored further.
It was right that Wilson got his come-uppance after being unkind enough, as a friend, to let poor house be left at home watching plebvision instead of at the boxing match.
I think that House' thesis about parents ( pretty much the same as Philip Larkins ) was shown to be flawed in the last case.
