Paternity
A 16-year old high school student, Dan, starts suffering from nightmares and frequent hallucinations, and he reveals he was hit in the head while playing lacrosse at school. Dan is apparently suffering from MS, and risky brain surgery is needed. Meanwhile House must deal with a patient looking to set up a lawsuit and a mother who doesn't believe in vaccinations.
Chase: "It doesn't necessarily have to be that bad. If we exclude the night terrors it could be something systemic: his liver, kidneys, something outside the brain."
House: "Yes, feel free to exclude any symptom if it makes your job easier."
House: "Perseverance does not equal worthiness."
House: "Another reason I don't like meeting patients. If they don't know what you look like, they can't yell at you."
House: "Could we get off my screw-ups and focus on theirs? Theirs are bigger."
