Vogler II: Electric Vog-a-loo
Updated 2006-11-12 16:00:00
A man weighing over six hundred pounds comes to PPTH in a coma. Fatty-hater Chase doesn't see the point in treating the guy, but Everybody-lover Cameron comes to his defense and insists on getting him an MRI even though he exceeds the weight limit. Fat Guy George emerges from his coma mid-MRI and promptly freaks out and destroys the place. At this point, Chase says they should just a wait-and-see approach with George because he wants all fat people to die, and House tells him to go ahead and do nothing. So, hilariously, Chase leaves and isn't seen again for the rest of the episode. George demands to leave PPTH, saying he's more afraid of hospital-related infections and injuries than he is of whatever put him in the coma. Cameron basically slips him a mickey (!) to keep him there, earning her a one-way trip through one of PPTH's many windows. Sadly, she lands on top of George and not vice-versa, which would have been so amazing. George goes blind and refuses to let them test him for any obesity-related conditions, insisting that his condition isn't related to the fact that he weighs six hundred pounds, and in the end, he's right: he actually has terminal lung cancer. You win, George. But really, who cares about the patient when we've got House's legal problems to deal with? After being arrested last week, his apartment is searched and a butt-load of pills is found. Also found are forged prescriptions from Wilson's pad, putting Wilson in the position of having to lie for House, which should get both of them in lots of trouble.
