Guest guest Report post Posted March 31, 2009 “Foreman administers a lumbar puncture to collect fluid from Lee's spine. Lee flatlines and his mind fades away to the beach, where House tells him that he is about to die. As the team tries to deal with this development, Lee has given up and wants to pass away. He indicates to them on the computer that his foot itches. House says this means liver failure. Thirteen suggests that a dying liver can lead to locked-in syndrome. Foreman adds that it is most likely Sclerosing Cholangitis.” I heard it too. I think that’s part of the popularity of the show, people listening to hear if their disease is mentioned. That’s the second time “we’ve” had a mention. Go House!! Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight - Whatever it Takes!

Guest guest Report post Posted March 31, 2009 Hmm. I actually sort of know one of the writers on House. I'm not sure that I mentioned to her that I have PSC. . . . She's my mom's neighbor, but now my mom is in assisted living and my brother is in my mom's house. I think I saw her name as one of the producers last night. Her name is Doris. Not sure of her last name. She used to be one of the writers on Numb3rs.Marie To: From: weller@...Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:17:02 +0000Subject: "House" Did anyone see House last night on Fox? They mentioned sclerosing cholangitis as a possibility in trying to diagnose their patient. They also mentioned the phenomenon that we all know -- that LFTs go higher initially, but they drop to more "normal" levels when the damage has been done.
