It has everything: drama, mystery, human condition, emotional and a good example of bravery on top of everything else in this fabulous episode!
What an underestimation in a short header line!
I like House a lot but sometimes it gets to be a bit tedious.
This episode would have gotten a best picture Oscar if it were a full length movie... The nine year old girl would have received a best actress award, and as I think about it, she should have received a Golden Globe.
The episode in some ways might have been better saved for a season ending, or even a series ending episode!
It is that good!!!
You gain an amazing insight to House's humanity which he still manages to hide from his co-workers, but them only!
Then you are treated (not sure if 'treated' is the right word here) to a little nine year old girl who acts so far above her years, it is borderline cheating!
Easily the best episode I've ever seen and it is very moving in so many 'spot on' ways!
Just look at it and judge for yourselves. I think you'll agree.

House encounters a 9-year-old cancer victim who has other things going wrong. Even if he finds out what else is wrong with her, and fixes it, she still only has a short time to live. A gripping episode, and tough to watch. A procedure performed near the end, entailing the momentary exsanguination of the girl in order to track down a mysterious object, may very well be a real procedure but it is hair-raising to sit through. I would not recommend this episode for nonadults. In an amusing bit, Dr. Chase becomes the girl's object of adoration. The ending is quite touching. And House is more irritable and argumentative than ever.
I was turned on to HOUSE by some very dear friends and I have to say its breathtaking television. House is so much me and I could only imagine being this so well aware, my destiny will be written and revealed in time as all of ours will be... This episode, however, is the icing on a beYOUtiful cake of what every man, woman, and child is made of and what he or she can achieve here on planet Earth.
If this one show doesn't make you see the light of HOPE at the end of a very dark tunnel, nothing will! It's fascinating to see all the characters express their truth on so many different human levels of feeling and to see that the greatest truth to becoming a spiritual being is just in acknowledging it.
We are all here to teach each other. We are all MASTERS and we are all STUDENTS.
So, the question is. Will you be BRAVE enough to face your TRUTH, your DESTINY when the time comes to AUTOPSIED? I AM!

This episode is so hauntingly beautiful. With one of the most impressive child performance I have ever seen; this episode makes you feel so much.
