[Blip! On goes the network device. Have an unflattering up angle at the bristly chin of House.]

Let's be real. It's on your calender. And for at least eleven months out of the year you don't think about how warm and fuzzy you are, how far you'll travel or even the prayer you're going to say. People say Thanksgiving and you think about [the

How does one even begin to cope with the stress?

[Servants = interns, estate = hospital. Oh Jesus.]

It again comes to the glorification of objects. They don't think independently, they never will. They can be programmed or fine tuned to do mundane tasks but to find a cancer there needs to be a mind and hand behind it. Pills don't do everything.

[Except for vicodin. It always does everything House wants.]

Keep calm and carry on. It's what the country expects.

[Or posters. Or history. House really does know a few things about Victorian times from literature and from morbid curiosity with bouts of insomnia. It's more than interesting to hear it first hand, even though it seems skewed. Different universe kind of skewed.]

Help. [He is a professional at the asshole foxtrot. He continues light on his feet.]

You're joking right? It's flu season. The hospital is still functioning. People don't stop getting sick or injured or infected. Believe me, I've tried to lessen the numbers.
