House, M.D.

Charity Case - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: House is in the cafeteria eating chips with Adams discussing a case. Park walks up and gives Adams a cup of coffee. The cup of coffee disappears and reappears during the whole scene. The coffee is in front of Adams, then isn't. Towards the end the coffee is far to the side rather than where it originally was set. (00:17:10 - 00:18:45)

Runaways - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: The runaway has an attack when her mother shows up and coughs blood on the table. There is an emesis basin at the far end of the table she throws up on. The shot changes twice and now there is FAR more blood on the table and the basin has moved to the middle of the table. Before the first shot change, Taub is reaching for the basin, however, after the change he is moving away without enough time to move the basin. The shot changes again and the patient is now in the bed with Adams holding the basin under her mouth. There is not enough time in that shot change for her to move from the foot of the bed to in the bed.

Mistakes

Maternity - S1-E4

Factual error: House's team listed the potential offending organisms of the infection as "MRSA, H. Flu, VRE, and pseudomonas." House then suggests Vancomycin and Aztreonam. Vancomycin only covers gram (+) organisms and Aztreonam only covers gram (-) organisms. VRE is a gram (+) organism, thus it would not be covered by Aztreonam. VRE stands for vancomycin resistant enterococcus, thus it would not be covered by Vancomycin either. House's team therefore failed to cover for an offending organism that could have caused the infection during their initial differential. (00:09:10)

Trivia

Joy to the World - S5-E11

Trivia: This episode contains another reference to Sherlock Holmes. Wilson tells the (fictional) story of who had sent House a present. Wilson says it was one of House's first patients called Irena Adler. He then explains that House had feelings for the patient, but did not take it any further and therefore regards her as the 'woman who got away'. Irene Adler was an adversary who bettered Sherlock Holmes - the woman who got away. As it happens, the fist patient House treats in the pilot episode is called Rebecca Adler.

Questions

Show generally

Question: In the last episode of Season 1 (Honeymoon) towards the beginning when House first asks for a diagnosis from the other 3 doctors, he asks something along the lines of "Have I missed anything?" after he explains what to do. After he says that Dr. Chase says "Kitchen sink" House starts to say something then stops and says "Oh, you minx" What did Chase mean when he said kitchen sink?

Answer: It comes from the phrase "Everything but the kitchen sink." He's saying that House has thought of "everything but the kitchen sink."
