Corrected entry: A kid is being taken to surgery to remove a magnet he swallowed because it may be stuck in his upper intestine. House diagnoses that the magnet is already in the lower intestine by taking a scalpel and showing that it's magnetically attracted to the lower abdomen. Surgical scalpels are made of high grade stainless steel and are not attracted by magnets.
Insensitive - S3-E14
Corrected entry: In the beginning in Cuddy's office, the background goes from snowing to not snowing then snowing again between shots.
Correction: Which is exactly what happens when you have snow flurries.
Corrected entry: When Wilson is securing an alibi for himself and House by hitting on a woman in the casino, he asks her if she likes swing music. Robert Sean Leonard played the lead in the movie "Swing Kids".
Correction: Actually, he asked her if she liked to swing - to wife swap for sex.
Corrected entry: House breaks into Wilson's office and writes himself a prescription for Vicodin with Wilson's prescription pad. Vicodin is a Schedule III controlled substance, which means that a pharmacist requires verbal authorization from the prescribing doctor or his staff to dispense it to a patient, even another doctor, making the prescription useless to House, which he should know.
Correction: Actually, it isn't often verified (scary, I know). I am a paramedic and work at a hospital and no one ever questions the ER docs who write narcotic prescriptions. They simply verify that it is an actual doctor.
Correction: Some scalpel blades are made of high carbon steel or tempered steel. The material used depends on the alloy content of the stainless steel. Certain types of stainless steel may be magnetic even if they do not contain nickel.
