Aiming a cannon at canon

Last night's episode of House left me cold.  Had "The Right Stuff" been my introduction to the series, House would not currently occupy highest priority on the DVR; nor would Tuesdays be the highlight of my week.  It would be like Law and Order--fine if I happen to catch it.  Also fine if I don't.

Three scenes that I enjoyed:  Wilson convincing

ps : you're a nurse right ? I have a question...when someone goes into cardiac arrest after an electrocution and is rescucited by an over-competitive blond (ok, that's not relevant) does he just wake up fine and that's it or are there problems ?
Thanks

this is an off-the-cuff answer from a pediatric nurse who hasn't yet had her first cup of coffee, so take it in that spirit, but-- if i recall correctly [and perhaps i don't] there is a risk of sequela; neuropathy comes to mind. but if the electrical shock is not sustained, and the cardiac or respiratory arrest is witnessed, and thus treated promptly, i believe that recovery is fairly uncomplicated, and complete. the patient would probably be monitored in a hospital for a day or so. they'd be watching for further cardiac arrythmias, and other symptoms [for example, neuropathy] which mightn't immediately evidence themselves following the incident. but don't take this as an expert answer [or even a particularly knowledgeable one!].

thanks, you can have your coffee now...;-)
looks to me that, as the patient did that with House being present, House proceeds while he's ALONE...This, plus Wilson's remark, seems totally preposterous. Fox is playing with our minds...

i am, as a matter of fact, just now having my first sip! took a while, as i first had litterbox patrol, dog-who-thinks-vinyl-floor-is-a-toilet clean-up, and the usual umpteen pills to swallow. oh--and i also fed the cats, so that i can continue my ultra-important litterbox patrol.

but now i have my coffee, and my world is righting itself! :-)

oh ! you've just added me to your friends list :-))))
I'll try to behave then...
Cheers *with a cup of coffee*
THANKS
