The cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually worsens rapidly if left untreated.

I learned that because it is a rare disease it is not easily diagnosed, in the episode they did many tests that apparently were unnecessary because they did not find anything on them.

Until they discovered that the patient was pregnant and the physiological changes of the body made her immune system fight that safe enzyme.

All in all it was a good experience, it is very entertaining to learn in this way and not only about rare diseases but all the medical vocabulary that can be very useful in the future.

I learned the the importance of considering both physical and psychological factors in medical diagnoses, as the patient's involvement in a dominant-submissive relationship provides critical insights. The successful treatment underscores the need for an interdisciplinary approach and the complexity of seemingly straightforward symptoms.

From the episode, I learned that osteomyelitis can be a cause of stroke. When a bone is infected, it causes trouble and does not allow the patient to have a regular blood flow. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the infected area (bone).

It also shows me that even though everything seem Lost, there is hope somewhere.

House focuses only on solving the medical problem, not caring about the patient’s past. This made me think about how we sometimes separate our work from our feelings. The way House stays calm while the patient is in pain was striking.

There’s also a side story with Cameron, who struggles with her emotions while helping a dying patient. This felt relatable, especially when it’s hard not to get personally involved.

Overall, the episode made me think about judgment, redemption, and how we handle tough situations. It left a strong impression on me.

I learned that as the episode goes on, it is revealed that one of the cases is actually House's own, detailing the leg infarction that led to his chronic pain, dependence on a cane, and addiction to Vicodin. The episode uses a non-linear narrative to explore House's past, providing insight into his complex personality and Leg pain.

I also learned that biases and prejudices can be a problem for doctors when diagnosing their patients since in this case an obese patient suffered a heart attack at an early age and the doctors started to blame obesity when in fact it was another cause of the girl's heart attack. It is important to mention that doctors have a great challenge with each patient since they are different cases.

Cancer can attack anyone regardless of age and it is a very difficult disease with little chance of surviving this disease.

I learned that it is important to visit your health provider when you feel a suddenly pain in your leg.

This episode teaches the importance of understanding that every patient is

unique, even if their symptoms are similar. It also highlights the personal struggles doctors face and how their experiences can shape their approach to medicine.

It is also important to keep in mind that for the correct treatment of sindrome munchausen, it is necessary that the doctor is supported by a psychologist who will decide whether to give you therapy or leave you in the hospital. Furthermore, it will also depend on the medications given only when a good definitive diagnosis has been made.

Positively, the episode helped me reflect on the importance of putting stereotypes aside and seeing the patient holistically, considering all the factors that affect their health.

Negatively, I was uncomfortable with the way some characters seemed more focused on judging the patient’s weight than understanding the underlying causes of her condition, which affected her diagnosis.

Randomly, it made me think about how these types of situations are reflected in daily life, not only in medicine, but also in social interactions, where we often label people without understanding their reality.

The episode's final revelation is tragic: it is discovered that the patient was once a professional violinist who lost her family in a car accident. This trauma led her into a life of homelessness and ultimately to the disease that brought her to the hospital.

The episode highlights House's relentless approach to differential diagnosis and his ability to look beyond the obvious to find the truth, no matter how dark or painful it may be.

Episode 4

Maternity

There are different things that I learned from the episode of doctor house.

1- To make difficult decisions during a hard time.

2- Ethic is really important when working with people. Even if the solution is not the right one, it is important to let people know what we do honestly.

3- To work as a team: it is important to consider people's opinions in a workplace. At the end everyone will be satisfied when the solution is the right one.

Etc.

From this episode I learnt about AIP that stands for Acute intermittent porphyria, that is caused by a problem in your body’s process of making heme, which is needed for carrying oxygen in your blood and other important functions. Also I learnt that the doctor investigate about the diseases that the family of the patient had, but why? Because some diseases can be inherent from parents let’s say that as in AIP , so the doctors need to take into account all the different aspects that can help them to know what is happening or affecting the patient.

I learned that there are times when it is good to ask the patient what their symptoms are and do the necessary tests, to give a correct diagnosis, because sometimes not asking or doing these types of things can lead to negligence, as in the case of Dr. Chase. that due to medical negligence he made a big mistake and that is why there are serious consequences, that is why it is sometimes good to ask patients what they feel and do the necessary tests so that errors are not made and doctors must support patients and help them, they should not be bad people, but rather they should help so that everything is fine.

To avoid this type of inconvenience, it is advisable for the patient who is using an intrauterine device to do annually checks up in order to verify that everything is working properly.

From this episode I learned that a person who smokes, and uses recreational drugs is in risk of different health problems, not just of lung failure from smoking but because of the inhalation of Cadmium in the weeds.

People who produce drugs and then sell them sometime add on purpose Cadmium to the weeds in order to make the weight look like if they are selling more of the weed, but also accidents happen and Cadmium can be spread without intention to, or the soil were plants have grown might be infected, these cause Cadmium poisoning in people.

Some other symptoms may appear that can be confused and related to other illnesses, but if the patient does not reveal what he has been ingesting or inhaling doctors might prescribe the incorrect medicine which can cause worse side effects in the patient's health.

There is not an especific treatment for cadmium poisoning but if treated on time, toxins can be taken out of the body an help the patient to survive, otherwise, he may die.

It was a such incredible and meanfull episode because of the content indeed. Mister Jhon Gile let to the doctor to conduct His health in the way that they are investigating that rare desease. So keeping in mind that Doctor Gregory really fought deeply because the diagnostic was Wrong so that, i learned how so much hard is the life of a doctor as well as how much dangerous was to Mister Gile take a desition to do not get resucitated even because the diagnostic was Wrong he was a absolutely sure about his future (but Doctor Gregory do not allow his deat) . So DNR (Do not resucitate) procedure which has a very grade of difficulty has a very high discussion in the medicine field, because its own complication and critical Thinking overview.

It makes me learn about that "solution and issue" and is so hard. Because of the complexity of the desition that no family, no father and mother, doctor or nurses has the possibility to help and take the desition of one patient. That legal document show up the desition to get death in other to be in peace. The bad-practice procedures in many cases in rare deseases and the prestigious of the doctors can fail in a case like this one and also i though about how many people died because of they bad medicine and prescription s. I learned too, how rare deseases are treated and how prople fight whit the time and the well of health.

That is what i learned.
