House

This week I'm going to write about the show House because Grey's Anatomy was a rerun, yet again. Dave Mathews guest starred on the show, and I was surprised at how good of an actor he was. He played a person that had gotten into an accident at a very young age, and had suffered sever brain damage. The brain damage caused him to forever be in the state of mind of a five year old, and his father has always taken care of him. He can't speak that well or even button his shirt, but somehow he is amazing at playing the piano. So him and his father created these charity events where he plays the piano to raise money for people that have the same disease as him. During one the charity events, his fingers stop functioning and that's when he is taken to Dr. House. House wants remove the right half of his brain because he thinks it will completely cure him, and the father is left with the decision of letting them perfom the surgery. I don't know what I would do if I had to make that decision. On one hand, the son could be cured, but on the other hand he could die. The father ends up consenting the surgery and of course the son turns out fine. Another big thing that happened on the show is that we learned that Dr. House had brain cancer, or so we thought. The whole episode all the people in his life were hurting at the thought that he was going to die and taking time to be extra nice to House. A few of the doctors decided to test him again to make sure he wasn't misdiagnosed with the cancer. When the results turned up negative for brain cancer, they were so excited to tell him. When they told House the good news, he became furious at them. It turns out that House had faked cancer so he could get the pain drugs injected into his brain. House had a previous addiction to Vikodin and it turns out he isn't over it. I thought it was crazy the lengths he went to, to get the drugs. He tricked everyone that actually cared about him, and in the end pushed them farther away but creating such a lie.
