[We join this telephone call mid-way, the speaker somehow only picking up one side of the conversation.]ANA came back negative, it's not lupus. You can tell House we've got a new symptom, though. Nausea ( Read more... )

can you hear me now, it's never lupus, whats the ddx, 4th walled, patient confidentiality, avoidance tactics, doctoring, toxicology, goofy shoes

As our special on the scene report of The City continues, we speak to a member of the medical community. Doctor Robert Chase, good afternoon.

Cameron, who are you-

[Pause.]

Um. Hello?

Hello, Dr. Chase. Thank you for coming.

...I didn't. [There's just a deer in the headlights look through the screen at this point. A hard swallow.] Is this screening somewhere?

We are on live for CNN.

[That's supposed to be reassuring. Don't you see his calm mannerism?]

How much would you say that the City's population depends on 21st century medicine?

[Noticing things would require a much lower terror level. He's not even sure why he's replying.]

To a... fairly high degree, all things considered. There's a significant section of the populace who require non-standard treatment, by our terms, but when you consider twenty first century medicine still relies on basic set down by the Ancient Greeks... it's...

[Blink. Frown. Throatclear. Blink.]

Well. A lot?

To what do you attribute your approval rate among patients?

How do you even-

[Cough.]

Getting them better usually helps. Nobody likes being stuck in a hospital bed, it's good to remember that.

Bedside manners aside, your availability has been praised.

My availability? I try and balance my time.

The City General has diverse forms of acting doctors. Are there ever times where methods get in the way of cooperation?

We're going to use what's available. If that means consulting with an alternative practitioner, I don't have a problem with it. If a patient wants to consult with a doctor whose idea of pain management involves biting down on a bullet, that's up to them. It just won't be happening in my ICU.

And for good reason.

Thank you, Dr. Chase.

...You're welcome? I mean, you're welcome.

Cooper. What are you doing.

Keith Olbermann, thank you for joining us.
