I don't know, it's just such a geeky, wonderful, and weirdly appropriate word.
It is! So very Wilson, and it's the perfect word for this situation, where House
You're right, as an oncologist, especially someone who has been around long enough to be head of his department, he's dealt enough with pain management (not cures) that he would be able to look at it that way.
Maybe that's why he's pretty understanding of House's pill popping, too. It's going to be so interesting next week to see where Wilson weighs in on the detox issue.
I get the idea that Foreman, at least, has spent more time in a lab than dealing with actual patients. It's not that he doesn't want to, just that he hasn't necessarily done it.
Yeah, he's really just kind of rough around the edges when it comes to bedside manner. But once he gets it, he's good at it, so I think you're right and he just hasn't had much experience. Cameron clearly hasn't, either. Chase is the only one who seems good at it already, and that makes sense given his speciality, I guess.
On Wilson's side, it's obvious what the problem is: He can deal with House's complete lack of bedside manner, but not Foreman's, and this is a case that means something to him.
Yeah, definitely. I think he sees House as a wounded genius, so he can justify House's lack of bedside manner even if he doesn't really like it. Foreman, to Wilson, is just going to come off like a heartless, arrogant prick. Which, you know, is fair. *g* And given Wilson's emotional attachment to this case, you just know that every time Foreman says something derogatory about homeless people, Wilson is taking that as an insult to his brother, and every time Foreman wants to throw the woman back onto the streets, Wilson is seeing his sick brother being kicked out into the cold with no one to help him. So it's no wonder he reacts kind of strongly.
And in walks Wilson with a case, asks House to take it, and House does. House listens to Wilson. The fact that House listens to Wilson over Foreman's objections--and especially in Foreman's area of expertise--is salt in an already open wound.
Absolutely. It's a blow to his pride. And it's just another piece of the House puzzle that Foreman just can't figure out. He spends a lot of time trying to figure out House and why House does what he does, and every time he thinks he's got a handle on it, House throws him again. He keeps thinking that House does things for personal reasons, only to have House say that it has nothing to do with anything but intellect. So now he's trying to apply the same principles here, except that this case is all about the personal. Poor Foreman. He's so confused! And everything is supposed to be about him, so how was he supposed to figure out that everything is actually about Wilson? *g*

Ask me again how much I love this show. *g*
