Trivia
This episode is ranked at 66th in "TV Guide's Top 100 T.V. Episodes" of all time.

Goofs
When discussing the snake bite victim, House and the students refer to the snakes as "poisonous". Snakes are not poisonous, they're venomous, an important distinction medical doctors would know, and House would certainly correct.

Quotes
Dr. Gregory House: I'm sure this goes against everything you've been taught, but right and wrong do exist. Just because you don't know what the right answer is, maybe there's even no way you could know what the right answer is doesn't make your answer right or even okay. It's much simpler than that. It's just plain wrong.

best episode

This was the best episode I've ever seen of any TV show. I remember when it first aired I was taping it for my wife. She was home later than I thought she'd be and I was actually upset with her because I wanted to watch it again immediately and had to wait for her. The twist in the middle was genius. The tie in to the next episode is equally great. The medical questions raised are among the most difficult I've seen raised on the show. I loved how the staff showed up during his lecture. Somehow they heard what he was talking about and had to hear it for themselves. Still five years later I'll stop down when it airs like it did tonight on USA.
