He had no doubt WIlson would have all the files in order and he'd be out of the room less than five minutes. He returned with the file, absently scanning it.

House sat on the exam stool and moved in to examine Elizabeth. "It's a little swollen," he commented. "Wiggle your toes? Bend and straighten."
A nod. "Most likely a muscle strain." You've strained the muscle, Greg. Nothing a little rest and heat therapy won' cure. Go home. There's nothing we can do for you here.
He pulled out his perscription pad. "I'm going to give you a muscle relaxer, and suggest you put heat on it, keep it elevated. Try not to walk on it if you can help it."

"And come back, immediately, if anything seems like it's just not right." Not that he expected a blood clot in her calf. But, he was sensitive to muscle strain misdiagnosis.
"You're welcome, Elizabeth. Wait right here while I get your perscription." He limped out of the room, returned with a small brown bottle. "These may cause drowsiness, so take it easy, okay."

She nodded. "Yeah," she confirmed. "It twinged a bit last night, but seemed okay. But then this morning it was pretty sore."
