He had even hired a housekeeper to take care of not only the house, but the baby as well. John also controlled almost everything in her life. In fact, the only thing he did not control was her journal writing, and even then she had to hide it from him since he did not approve of it. When he comes she says, "I must put this (the journal) away - he hates to have me write a word"(471). Part of John's problem 1s that he is a doctor. As a doctor, he control's his wife's health care, prescribing her medicines and her overall cure. As her husband, he is too emotionally involved to look at the case objectively, or if he had, he might have seen her mind going before it was too late. Not only that, the accepted "cure" at that particular time was ineffective and would only serve to make his wife worse (473). This "cure" was the product of a certain Dr. Weir Mitchell; a nerve specialist whose theory of a "rest cure" for mentally unstable patients was later found to be unsuccessful. In the story, the husband's ill-advised attempts to treat his wife's symptoms drive her insane by taking all responsibility from her and forcing isolation upon her as a part of her "cure."

On Night 14, they visit the mother at the hospital again. But unfortunately, an announcement for Dr.Blue comes on the speakers and a nurse comes in to tell the family "it doesn't look good".

The content of what he is saying does not make sense as he is accusing his roommates of putting voices in his brain. He believes his roommates are out to get him and fears they are listening to him. I noticed that his eyes wonder and he lacks eye contact. He seems to have lost all relationship with reality and experiences auditory hallucinations. Andy states that the thoughts in his head are planted from his roommates which are being tracked through a device they placed in his brain. The patient seems to be confused and suspicious as to why his friends would do this to him. The delusions and hallucinations seem very

House is one of the most favorite American TV shows which has seen its twists and turns and has managed to keep its viewers mesmerized for several years. The very theme of the drama originates from the fact that everybody has a tendency to lie in given circumstances and also other humans cannot be trusted. This same theme is reflected in every action of the lead character Dr. Gregory House. House can be seen as a detailed analysis of how humans react to each other's actions when there relations are doubt driven and also, it is the curiosity in human's nature which acts as the basis for many inventions and diagnosis.

The stone was cold and I could feel the pain swelling up inside. I took a step towards the edge, I thought to myself, “One more step and the worries would end…” if only it was that easy.

He picks up a piece of tan or beige stone, curved and smooth on one side but on the other it was rugged and damaged, like an old man's flesh. At one time could have possibly been part of an old

He presents to the clinic with weakness, which is felt all over the body, fatigue that lasts all day and loss of appetite for the past several months accompanied with nausea, which occurs throughout the day. He says that he never feels like eating when he consumes alcohol, not even his favorite foods, and only does so because his wife asks him too. He is unclear as to when his symptoms initially began, but states that he has gotten worse in the past year. As we further investigate we find that Mr. Martin thought his symptoms were due to his stressful home environment. He is caring for his son, Mark, with a spinal cord injury from an accident while intoxicated. His mother is also living in their household and his son, Anthony, has been non-compliant with his schizophrenia medication, creating disturbances at home. He is not sure whether his weakness is due to his back pain, but he does notice that he is unable to do as much physical work as he used to. Mr. Martin says that he often self-medicates with alcohol and prescription pain killers, when obtainable, to treat

The events portrayed correspond with real-world situations like gay marriages, divorce, drugs and drug abuse, work conflict, dynamics of relationships at work, management of medical conditions like pain and life-long states, and others. Unlike conventional shows that handle hypothetical situations that probably may never take place centered on medical jargon that audiences do not efficiently recognize unless their personal preferences converge on the medical genre, HOUSE MD revolves around situations that the world readily identifies. Dr. Gregory captures the stage as a hero with his unique insight into mundane affairs of the world. Dr. Gregory is a brilliant crippled doctor because ordinary doctors in the film cannot provide proper diagnosis for medical conditions. This sad state of events motivates Dr. House to pursue personal development as the means of becoming the best diagnostician. In the film, Lisa Cuddy forces House to attend to his clinic hours that he had avoided for a number of years. The medical drama comedy covers sensitive matters like wrong diagnosis and medical bureaucracy to provide impetus for the show. Because Dr. House ignored serving his clinic hours, the writers of the film find strong foundations during one of his walks. Each episode illustrates a new mysterious case that ensures a patient's life is on the line as time takes its

Someone is sitting at a restaurant bar. A waitress walks over handing out free shots, so he takes one. One leads to two, two leads to three, and so on. Before he realizes it, he is talking louder than ever, tripping over his own feet, and causing a scene. Toward the end of the night, he walks into someone’s table, as he is heading out of the restaurant, knocking over their meals. He tries to say something, but all that comes out is mumbling. The next morning, he is feeling dizzy, has a pounding headache, and does not remember anything from the night before.

“Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on," she said. "Hurry up."( (Jackson)
