First episode of a foreign TV drama

“Everybody lies”

Dr. Gregory House is a man who is known for his “Unusualness”. He never wear a white coat, and try not to diagnose patients as much as possible, even though he is a doctor. However, he is also known to everybody for his genius at diagnosis. One day, a female patient was carried out a hospital, Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, which is the place that House is working. She is a teacher at a kindergarten, and during class, she suddenly fell down.

Because of her unexplained disease, her family doctor sent her to the hospital. House is not interested in communicating with patients because he says that “Everybody lies”, so he seldom appears before patients. He gives a diagnosis by using a various kinds of information about patients, and debating with his subordinates. House's diagnostic team consists of Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Allison Cameron, and Dr. Eric Foreman.

After meeting the teacher, the team started to diagnose her, but they couldn’t determine the cause of her disease. When they struggling to find the cause, House came up with a good idea which may aid her recovery during a diagnosis of another patient. Steroids is the medicine that House hit upon to cure her illness. It made her bad condition better temporarily. However soon after the recovery, her condition became worse than before. They had to think again about the cause of the disease from the first.

When they are debating in House’s office at the hospital. Dr. Foreman began to talk about the result of search in the patient home. House ordered them to go there, and find something that could have caused her illness. Foreman found a slice of ham in the refrigerator, and House realized that this was the cause of the disease. The true cause of the disease was parasites in the ham. They reached her brain and had a harmful effect on it. The source of the disease was discovered, and the team informed her to the result. However, she refused to receive the treatment. She wanted to die to protect her “Important thing.”

In the end, finally, she decided to live, but how did House persuade her, how did they
convince her to accept the treatment? What was her “Important thing”? If you are
interested in the results, please watch it.
