Prompt of the day: Today is National Ding-a-ling Day. Supposedly on this day, one should brace themselves for insane/bizarre/screwed up behavior from everyone they encounter. Show us what one day of outrageous actions and events might look like for House/Cuddy (or the characters individually).
Questions to discuss: Throughout the series, we saw various characters suffer from various conditions physically, emotionally, and mentally and make some pretty messed up choices along the way as a result. With hallucinations in episodes regularly, for example, any day at PPTH, especially those in May, could be considered Ding-a-ling Day, if such a thing really exists. But it makes me wonder: when you look at House or Cuddy's outlandish/screwed up behavior, do you think that they suffered from any condition/disorder/illness in particular that informs their choices/actions or no? Obviously House suffers from addiction, but were there other things that might have influenced their behavior? Pull out your WebMD degree and discuss.
