House: Hi, this is Greg House. Again. Third message, hopefully indicating how much I want you to call me back. I'd say that your son is dying to increase the urgency, but you probably already know that. (he ends the call) The fake people who care that Wilson stays alive didn't work, so I need the real people who care about him to tell him what an idiot he's being.
Adams: Where are we going?
House: I just got paged to go to the bathroom. I don't know where the rest of you are going.
Adams: Some of our patient's symptoms might be physiological, and some might be psychological.
Taub: You think being forced to bury painful memories is making symptoms worse?
[House pockets his phone and takes out his Vicodin bottle]
Park: Grief avoidance can lead to all sorts of anxiety disorders, which can manifest into physical illness.
[They stop walking just long enough for House to take a Vicodin tablet]
House: (pocketing the pill bottle and continuing down the hall) Let's assume… that all his symptoms are real symptoms.
Adams: we're going to avoid grief avoidance?
Taub: Studies after September 11th showed that repression was actually better for coping than dwelling in misery. What about polycythemia vera?
Adams: RBCs are slightly elevated, but not that much.
Taub: Hodgkin's lymphoma?
Park: Would have showed up in the PET scan.
[They stop in front of a mensroom door. House leans against the wall facing the bathroom. He pulls his cellphone out of his pocket]
Adams: What if your guy got hurt at practice? And, like everything else, just didn't tell anyone. Could have set off DIC, would explain everything.
Taub: (motioning toward the bathroom) I thought you had to go to the bathroom.
House: I didn't say I had to go in.
[The door of the bathroom opens and a janitor rushes out and down the hall]
Janitor: Need some more mops in here!
Holding On, S8
