treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

{House is sitting at his fairly cluttered desk, flipping a tennis ball in the hook of his cane idly with his feet propped up. Of notice on his desk are bone marrow biopsy tests, which are negative, and a blue folder labeled "TYLER" with just a few notes inside, it looks like.}

Female, 26, tonic clonic seizure. History of fatigue and a retinal vein occlusion two years ago. Took ecstasy about five hours before the seizure, according to Thirteen, placing two women, one of them my employees, together at about 3 A.M.. The patient rates Thirteen a seven, which is much more interesting than the probable cause of, unsurprisingly, drugs.

{He almost misses catching the ball, but an excellent save}

Thirteen thinks that the patient is a hypochondriac, but it's probably more like Thirteen doesn't want me asking this patient more about Thirteen than I really wanted to know. Maybe I should hire this girl to grab Thirteen's Huntington's test results next time Thirteen is feeling frisky. Lucas is too busy investigating Wilson's carbohydrate intake.

So, just in case it's not drugs, who wants to do some simple roleplaying for my team? Don't worry, no thinking involved, just stand there and look pretty. One of you disagree with everything I say, one of you agree, and the other one, don't decide on anything. It should be pretty easy.

{And as an afterthought, like he would forget,} Oh, and I need something from my crazy coma patient. You know who you are, so I don't really need to say much more than that.

[...marriage to sam Sam. Ew.] Misaki Kirihara, a business associate of Sam's. He's the 'crazy coma patient,' I'm going to assume.

For the record, "business associate" is another phrase for prostitute, so be careful what you say. Assuming you're not having sex for money, that would make you a cop.

{After a moment, considering} But yeah, it's Tyler. If only everyone in a coma went back to the 70s. I know people that would be inducing comas.

[Eyeroll. Like she hasn't heard that one before.]

You have my undying thanks for pointing out the fact that any phrase involving 'business' that comes from a woman can be sneered at by misogynists and people who enjoy thinking they're clever.

Yes, I'm a cop. Have you been able to come here long?

Nope. Just found my favorite place to take a break from annoying clinic duty two weeks ago or so.
