Hey, it's me!

20 minutes into tonight's episode of House, the desperate chronically ill guy with the gun is... me! Right down to the post chicken pox/neuralgia and hypersensitive hearing. He needs to go beige.

ETA: 45 minutes in: It's not a tooma. I bet it's preservatives and tomatoes. And mint, oranges, curry, bacon etc etc etc. And let's not forget soup.

Perhaps now would be a time to ask my fellow chronic sickly friends if you've ever had House diagnosis fantasies? A team of dedicated brains and a whiteboard, just for you?

I would keep Greg House away from me with a 12 foot pole if necessary.

He'd probably just send me for an MRI, misdiagnose me for 35 minutes and then miraculously find the diagnosis in the final five.

You know anal bleeding is really common on House, right?

I was highly amused earlier this season when a patient was diagnosed with MS (for a bit) and they DIDN'T send her off for an MRI to confirm.

In case of cardiac arrest

Oh, there is no way I'd let that team near me. If I arrest, get JD and Elliot from Scrubs, or hell, even Guy from Green Wing! but keep House's team of clowns away from me!

It's my fantasy, so it probably wouldn't involve the actual screenwriter and actors. Just a room full of thinky people who care. And I've always wanted an MRI. Come close a few times.
