fixing a hole where the rain gets in

[DI Tyler is on the Plane with - big surprise - stacks of paperwork. It's been a long absence.]

Right. Inspect Javert, you wanted a word? And Dr House, I want a word with you.

[Sam moves one of the folders filled with paperwork - distracted or distracting?]

And if anyone else needs anything, now's a good time to ask.

Not at all.

[didorothy]

[curious]

Would you really have told me if I let you do a lumbar puncture?

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

If I say "yes", can I do it?

[didorothy]

No.

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

Then I'll go with "maybe".

[didorothy]

At least you're almost honest.

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

That's part of the job description.

[didorothy]

What about the other parts?

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

Those would be the parts that say I'm medically obligated to diagnose sick people.

Meaning, a lumbar puncture. {He will never let this go}

[didorothy]

I'm not going to let you give me a lumbar puncture.

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

What about another doctor?

[didorothy]

I can't go to your hospital, and there aren't that many doctors on the Plane.

[a beat]

Not many with actual medical licenses, anyway.

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

A fake medical license works too.

[didorothy]

It won't for me.

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

Come on, now you're just being picky.

[didorothy]

About who I let put a needle into my spine? Yeah, I am.

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

I promise I have a medical license.

[didorothy]

That still doesn't mean you get to put a needle into my spine.

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

Does that mean I can put it elsewhere?

[didorothy]

That would just be improper medical procedure for a spinal tap.

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

Who said I was going to do a spinal tap?

[didorothy]

You don't get to put a needle into me just for kicks.

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

No, it's medical. I would never stick a needle into someone for kicks. What kind of person do you think I am? {One that did that last week is a good answer}

[didorothy]

I think you're the sort of person who'd put a needle into someone for kicks.

Hey, some people need sedatives.
