Last chance to look at me Hector

That's a weird comment to read when I didn't know I was supposed to be looking at you.

Nah man you can't you do that

👨‍🦽🔔🔔🔔

Eyoooooo😂😂😂

Bahahahah

They found a scratch on the patient's finger that could have let in the leptospirosis. They found rats in the basement that tested positive for leptospirosis and they started treating the patient for it. The patient soon began to exhibit voluntary movement again. He eventually started speaking again.

@Ajinkya Pandit 5th season, 19th episode someone on here said.

@EroticAnkleDuster Fox and/or Lifetime.

@Joe Gibson yes they are being shown. Lots of reruns. I think on Lifetime channel.

THANK YOU

Thank you I was desperate for the end result lol

Worst part is at the beginning of the episode, the doctor that found him didn't do any kind of thorough inspection to make sure there was something wrong. He fully planned to use him for organs. And had it not been for House literally ripping himself off his own ER bed to look at the guy, he would've been completely conscious, watching each of his organs get ripped out right in front of his eyes, completely unable to scream. Malpractice at its finest and it's all too common.

@GamingPhone  I wasn't trying to prove any point. I was just saying it reminded me of a book lol

@Dapper Turtle I remember in Canada, the doctors amputated the wrong leg. When he woke up he was confused and brought it up. He has no legs anymore.

I didn't watch Shen Yun just for you to tell me that people's organs aren't removed without anesthesia.

"please scratch my foot"

lol i’m dying at these comments. Not really that funny but I laugh too easy so i’m still dying lmfaoooo

@fLying_AnT until today, the amount of people that got the joke over their head is unbelievably high.

@FBI That's why ya gotta love social media.

​@TrainHunter94YT whyd you get pressed about the comment? yall stay sensitive fr

@Mary Wang when you need to do the thinking for them, can you even really say they still have autonomy?

I told my family for years this was my biggest fear, being locked in and unable to communicate I was in pain... Then I fell into a coma and woke up completely paralyzed except I could move a lil bit of my face. They tried all sorts of things to communicate with me including a computer reading my eye movements. They kept saying I was a vegetable but my husband stuck up for me saying No she's not! She's def in there, he even said if after 20yrs of marriage my wife couldn't communicate with me with just her eyes we'd be doing something wrong. This was the most horrific time of my life, almost! I went into this at the end of 2019,so I woke up with 5 amputations in the beginning of Covid! It was like a fucked up movie! It was a non stop struggle, my body kept trying to die in some very weird ways, when I see those doctors or nurses now they are absolutely stunned that I lived! Anyway the moral is that locked in syndrome is a horrific sounding disease because it is absolutely horrific!! ... Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol

I wish doctors would stop using "brain dead" to mean that the patient has no senses or life left. How horrible. Like being buried alive

​@Nichole Shackelton 😮😮😮😮😮 Woman, WOW!! You should get a ghost writer and do a book! I would want to see pictures past and present. I'm sure you know by now that your otherwise horrific experience is a source of inspiration for people you don't even know. I was a Respiratory Therapist for 20 years, and I saw and did a lot of things. By far, the best thing I ever did was listen to my patients stories, and shared my own. Hearing everything you have lived through and overcome is so inspiring for someone like me who has had several chronic diseases my entire life. I've have 2 and 1/2 dozen major surgeries (100's of minor ones) I've had some major miracles happen, have outlived my life expectancy by over 30 years, and here I am in total awe of you. What an incredible soul you have! Thank you for sharing part of your journey here in the comment section of a 'House' clip. I knew there was a reason I started reading. I usually go to the comments for comic relief... people can be so funny. Instead, I am counting my blessings, while saying a prayer of good fortune for you. This is quite a story that more people need to know. Too bad Oprah isn't doing her show anymore, YOU would be an amazing guest for her show. You are a miracle! 🙏 ❤

@Gam gam Da best Wow! I didn't realize that could happen from a car accident! I broke my back in my early 20s and had a bunch of effed up things happen because of it and I went through the same thing with Drs missing things, but it wasn't because I had a lawyer, it was because I was on pain management! The second the realized I was on opiates they all write you off as a drug seeker! I walked around with a broken rib puncturing my lung, the lung collapses and I had a literal heart attack at 27yrs old from the pain, but I walked around with it for almost 7vweeks because I was terrified of them thinking I was faking pain for pain meds! Also that's really cool to hear someone that has been stuck in their body too! It's the worst! And YES people trying to guess what I wanted and getting it wrong every time was so frustrating that I stopped trying! They thought I was brain dead because of it but my husband said "If she couldn't communicate to me with just her eyes after 20yrs of marriage, we'd be doing something wrong! " Lol and he was right! I was there, fully! I also feel like I have been robbed of time and experiences with my family, I mourn it often actually! My little brother is always going on vacations and with his family and get aways with his wife, I'm so jelous lol I even went with them all to the beach one year cause I was so sick of being left out, and I ended up spending the week alone in the rental house while they all frolicked on the beach and went to 6flags and whatnot! It sucks! When they say you have nothing if you don't have your health they aren't kidding huh?!

I was in an auto accident 12 years ago. Everyone told me to get an attorney… bc I had a head injury and was 8 ways to sunday messed up. So… I did get an attorney and the first thing he said was… do not sign ANYTHING bc I was not fit to make decisions… (you know, like the decision to hire a sleezy attorney). Long story short… bc I had an attorney ALL the medical world ASSUMED I was out for money. When they did their scans n test etc they were LOOKING to disqualify my claim of injury. Because of this, they ALL missed my OBVIOUS problem… my pituitary stem was damaged and could no longer communicate with my adrenal glands. So my body doesn’t make sooo many important chemicals, hormones etc that we need. NINE years went by … I SUFFERED for nine very LONG years where I couldn’t even get out of bed… I watched a documentary one day and realized the person on that show was living MY life. I asked my dr about this being possible… he went back and looked at my films… and it was obvious on all of them. The “medical professionals” were just so determined to prove I was lying.. bc I had an attorney (which they ask every single time you get a test) that they missed what was wrong w me. Damage to the stem is NOT uncommon… but it’s not as common as the things they were so excited to prove I didn’t have. My ENTIRE family lost 9 years of me. I have children and grandchildren… a husband. I could no longer work… my life is FOREVER changed… Being locked inside yourself… and I could not communicate effectively… speech therapy helped… but I still struggle to find words…. There’s nothing more FRUSTRATING than seeing your world going on without you and being unable to communicate your thoughts, feelings and needs. The worse part was having other ppl try to communicate my thoughts FOR me… as if they knew what I wanted to say or how I felt. I wanted to punch them in the face!

@Mohamed Tayyab if that didn't sound like a "it's your fault for thinking it", then i don't know what does. My bad if I inferred wrong.

The most complicated way to say "My foot itches".

Locked-in syndrome is real. It often occurs when the basilar artery gets occluded or blocked off. The basilar artery supplies a large portion of the brain, including most of the brainstem and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres.

​@Circenn so what? you wanna keep the information all by yourself?

​@User 2C47 it's a layman's term nevertheless, and he's right in a sense. If the majority of your brain get no blood at all, your body will shut down excluding the heart and probably the respiratory system.

I understood some of those words!

​@porpo the god Thank you for the laugh, I needed that.

I had locked in syndrome, all I could do was move my eyes from centre to right and back. Was very fortunate to have fairly recovered but I still get nightmares, was only 22 when it happened

My mom was in a nursing home supposedly for two weeks while they tried to figure out if they should implant a morphine pump in her. So they left the pump outside to begin with. She called me and told me she as in alot of pain and that her bed was wet. I had two kids and went over there immediately. THe nurses had not even bothered to check out the pump or anything. There was ahole in her line and all the morphine was dripping onto the sheets under her. Maddening. I had to go over there all the time because the nurses were not doing their job. They eventually killed her by not giving her a breathing treatment at night and the morphine kept her from waking up. The coroner told me there was no way I would ever prove they were responsible. Maddening. She should have been able to come home...

I’m so, so sorry this happened!!!!!

That is so f00cked up

As a retired nurse practitioner, I am so very sorry. This is the problem with healthcare in this country. Administration wants to show profit so they over work bedside nurses then the government (Medicare/Medicaid) forces unbelievable tedious paperwork on them making it impossible to actually be a nurse.

​​@Emmanuel Lagacef someone is in the hospital/nursing home/care facility etc for an extended period of time, they're usually not in the best shape to go shopping around for better accommodations.

Did you sue them?

That's not brain death. Brain death means all that mind and self is gone and not coming back. The body is working on automatic. Like greensky says, this is locked-in syndrome, one of the scariest conditions I can imagine.

@Stephen Torrey oh well, my legs we amputated by something else, so it is a syndrome

It has to be terrifying!

@Davey Joseph with all medicine treating humans... there is some gray. We are all unique, not robots... but we TRY hard.

@Lisa T got it, so not subjective lol

@Davey Joseph  RN for 35 years. Brain death is when there are ZERO brain waves on an EEG. In my experience in Ohio, we did 3 EEG's on 3 consecutive days. The EEG was done for at least 30 minutes each time and all 3 of them had to detect NO CEREBRAL activity greater than 2uV. In the presence of sedative drugs, CT brain angiography was the gold standard. However each state medical board has guidelines, and may require more criterion.

if you’ve ever been in a position where you can’t scratch an itch for more than 20 minutes it drives you literally mental

I always go straight to comments with these House video uploads.. never disappoints

when I have to ask my gf what's wrong

They like to play puzzle & guessing.

😂

I actually cried, and my wife thinks doesn't get it 🤣

Omg this had me dying with laughter 😂😂😂

😹😹😹💀💀💀

Wanna see me hit 1000 likes? Wanna see me do it again?

​@Adam Dizzy Or his patient had too much reefer. I've been so stoned before, that the only thing I could move were my eyes.

Well, he's a talk show host now.

Imagine doing all that and one of your patients is literally MOS DEF

All 796 of us looked for this

He ends it not too much later lmfao

EPISODE 5.19 for those that asked.

Hero. 40 shallow comments in.

You are a true one!😂

Omg thank you! I was actually about to ask😅

Thaaaaaankssss 🎉

"brain dead" when the patient is definitely not brain dead

@Toby Linville Basically when your Meat Mecha suit is still functioning, but the little jellyfish pilot inside (your central nervous system) is not.

More like body-sorta-dead 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@The_Effect_DE There’s an old medical axiom. When you hear of beats think horses, not zebras, the show house was the rare instances when it is a zebra. Every illness was, rare, strange, and difficult to diagnose. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’m told that for organ donors, they do anesthetize the patient just in case. 🤷🏻‍♂️ That said, it is TV and the accuracy may not be perfect. Apparently, there are some shows where professionals look at them, and cry, and scream at the TV.

@Neil Kurzman Yeah, the problem with this show is that it makes many people believe normal doctors just don't find their rare self diagnosed illnesses. Also this episode in particular is not exactly an advert for organ donation.

The inner dialogue of the patient was one of the best parts in this episode. It also gave me chills, not the good ones, just to imagine BEING that person.

The most intricate way of asking someone to scratch an itch for you XD

This is an interesting episode, i like it when house focuses on the various conditions than the relationship between characters.

@AJGYLETXD house MD season 5 ep19

what’s this called?

What is it called?

​@mia dianne opal apparently Blue turtle was hoping it was on Netflix or Disney+ because he does not have prime video

What wound up happening. I don’t remember. He was at his male best friend’s house I think

I was like this briefly, once , I felt that it wouldn't last, so, I did not panic; just had the Oh, it is so hard for those that are this way . I could hear & see & think just fine. All medical staff should try this hard with their patients. We are people not mannequins. Be kind to those that are not as well off as you.

If only they could use Morse or have the beeping chair similar to what they have in Star Trek that Captain Pike was put in after his injuries

These contraptions should be standard for every non responsive patient, just in case. The chances of becoming locked in is slim but never zero.

@Ben Jurqunov least political boomer

Get you an empathetic nurse like the one in that movie they used for that Metallica video where the patient had no legs no arms no eyes no mouth and just existed as a spectacle until the nurse showed compassion and found a way to communicate through tracing a heart on his chest. Love conquers all non verbal forms of communication...but hey if you have telepathy and pick up brainwaves naturally..all the better. Better than getting the wife that pulls the plug on you so she can spend your fortune on the poolboy.

@Ben Jurqunov ahh yes, I love my homosexual special rights that I so thankfully derive from the health care system of my respective nation.

​@Ben Jurqunov depends on the rainfall in Cuba that year...

​@Ben Jurqunovrent free

Imagine how relieved he was to be understood in such a helpless situation 🔥

I love how when the doctor figured out that he said 'no' 3 times it meant down the question went straight from his eyeball to his leg

He's not brain dead! The whole thing that starts the episode off is House understanding that he isn't! Do the people that run this channel watch the show?

no they just want clicks so they post a clip after reading a summary probably

@Neil Kurzman and ???? The one who did this short surely didnt watched just the first 1 Minute where the doctor said he is braindead .. and then Uploaded a short from way later in the Episode... so yeah he know the title is bs but knows it generates more clicks

@Hendrik Tropartz Yes, it’s very clear in the beginning of the episode that he’s not brain dead. But I fortunately house had to bid on an accident on his motorcycle. He would’ve been in the emergency room to point out that the guy was not actually brain dead.

@Hendrik Tropartz In you opinion.

@Neil Kurzman still doesnt Change the fact that its still a bs title

You cut out the best part when he says "It's House time!" and cures the man.

​@Ruben Le Roux House, MD

What is the series name?

@Nobody 482 that was an amazing clip. For sure bro.

It's on the House !

it's brick housing time

I am a retired nurse and I had a patient that I was helping to take care of at their home. They were very wealthy and she was non responsive but her mother insisted on doing this kind of communication but however the people that were doing it. We're ripping the mother off there was no response. It was horrible to see this going on.

@A G The computerized eye movement communication that was in the video

Very vague description. What are you saying.

This was a great episode! Also terrifying because rarely do doctors spend that much effort communicating with patients that can't talk. I literally had tears running down my cheeks when the doctors realized I couldn't speak. They focused on my skyrocketing blood pressure but not the probable reason. Basically a nurse was withholding my pain medication to teach me a lesson.

@sistakia33 We (& they) have to ASK for forgiveness. We have to do our part for God to do His. God is good. All the time. Evil is against all things Godly. He never says that's okay. His instruction book ... the Bible ... should be read by everyone.

@Jane LaPlace I believe in a forgiving God and I try to be forgiving too. I know many don't know that what they do can have long reaching consequences.

​@sistakia33 Don't hurt God's kids (all ages). I have seen His vengeance come back on ppl who hurt me & understand why Jesus prayed for God to forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing (i.e. do not know the consequences of their actions which is hell).

@Angry Ted "Locked In" It's somewhere in season 5

Which episode was this?

Wish they would tag which episode and series this was, I want to watch it again but can't remember which one it is.

I like how they trained us to a level where we don't need to see the monitor to know his answer 😆

Right?😅

My grandfather recently passed away. He had problems with his heart and lost oxygen in, which rendered him to be brain-dead according to the doctors. And that the equipment that he was hooked up to was the only thing that was keeping them alive. There is various of instances where I truly believe that my grandpa could hear us. It was pretty crazy.

A "brain dead" person wouldn't be able to understand questions, much less answer them.

It traumatises me to even think of being in a helpless condition like this

I vaguely remember this seen when it was on tv. There's no further story to this, just felt like sharing. Also, did you know David Bowie had an internet service in the late 90s?

This dude tryna unlock all our fears 💀

Season 5 Episode 19 “Locked in”

Thank you, finally! I was scrolling so deeply in the comments.

Thank you !

thank you based man i shall now pirate the show

Thank you good sir

Ty

Reminds me of a story where this doctor came up with an operation and said he would test it on himself to prove it was OK. He was supposed to be put under be he didn't go fully under and was more or less awake the whole time and felt everything but he couldn't speak (I guess that part of him was?)

im now hooked to this show

WTF the loop is so perfect I ended up watching it twice tf

I went thru this talking to my ex.SMH. Its a big guess and if you guess wrong she gets mad. I think it would be easier just to speak up

My late cross country coach suffered from ALS and it had him so crippled he couldn't do anything, but this technology allowed him to write a book about his journey before he passed in July 2012....

Hello! Just wanted to say this show is such an inspiration to me, and has inspired me to get a phd / doctorate. I love it so much and I’m so grateful for it ❤

Yasiin Bey ❤️ I love him in everything he’s in. His talent is truly multifaceted.

All of Kumar’s lectures from his parents finally paid off! He’s the doctor they always wanted him to be! God I love happy endings. Good for you Kumar.

His story line didn't get a very happy ending 😢

I have a C2 spinal injury and for the 1st week or so of my injury, I was basically locked in. No movement below the neck even to this day and I originally had an intubation tube so couldn't speak either. In a word, it was truly soul-destroying.

@Erin H I use my tongue. See above comment for full explanation. I can type faster with my tongue than most people can with their fingers. I even play video games with it including Overwatch.

Eye tracking tech is also prevalent these days

​@rubberman302 I'm not sure how they are, but speech to text is a common choice.

how are you typing?

I miss this show it was amazing!

I've feared death is going to be me still fully aware, but just unable to move my body whatsoever. Finding out that this is in fact a real thing and its called locked in syndrome is Scariest thing I've ever learned.

Imagine being stuck in a permanent state of sleep paralysis, I'd rather just die!

I can only imagine how terrified living "brain dead" partners must have felt

That is horrifying. To be trapped in an unresponsive body. I often feel that's what "death" could be. Trapped in a decaying body

I had locked in syndrone after surgery...its was very scary,and lasted for hours.

i woke up during a surgery once. sat straight up like undertaker in panic mode. luckily no pain and was out again after like 10 seconds but it was a wild experience

What Kind of surgery?

When you upload a clip, make sure you have the whole scene.

Some people have temporary locked in syndrome when the are put under general anesthesia. My grandpa did, he was getting his leg amputated under general anesthesia. When it was over, he told us, he was paralyzed but could feel everything! He felt the surgeon cut through his skin, muscle, and bone with full sensation of pain, but couldn't move or yell out to stop it.

If he can communicate then he's not brain dead.

@Midnight Blares bruh where did you learn English because that made no sense.

Is this a YouTube comment thread does doesn't end in a fight because of things happening?

Yeah but they thought he was

@Archetypical Mind kinda? I don't think awareness is a black and white concept though. The more complex the system's understanding of what it itself is, the more conscious it is. Like, again, an ant is kinda conscious, but not in the way a human is. Human brains are inherently a lot more complex which makes it so that their understanding of themselves are a lot more complex too. Also, i'm not sure if every intelligent system is subjectively conscious, but i think every intelligent system is conscious to a degree dependant on how intelligent it is

@Penguin so you believe that a system will require to reach a threshold of awareness that it itself exists and therefore, attains consciousness ?

My foot itches. What's important is that without interaction the regular staff never engaged him, and never believed that he could talk Now they know he can talk. Listen for the last 'positive' response tone before the clip loops. "Does your right foot itch and you'd like me to scratch it?"

It was in loop all along.. I thought they were asking him questions infinitely.

This episode was great. What a nightmare illness.

Locked in syndrome has to be the worse hell ever. It is far worse than death. I have to wonder how many people have been labeled brain dead and just let die when they were actually fully aware of everything around them. How many were screaming for someone not to pull the plug. I can not and do not want to imagine what that would be like.

At that point I'd rather them pull the plug than be left like that.

Yk this episode was 🔥...When house saved this guy from Saving his diagnosis of brain dead to locked in syndrome They were already on their way to harvest his organs...

I need a doc like house I have heart problems but every doctor says my heart is fine except 1

I have symptoms that were speculatively diagnosed as deriving from spinal fractures but they're not sure, and that is so hard to live with, and like your drs they all give educated guesses, say you're good(we're not) and you remain ill and in pain daily. When symptoms can be attributed to an illness you already have they never look at the possibility it could be something new. It often is. That's what I think is my situation. Good luck, Alpha.

Bro needs a bell rn ngl

And then there's me who doesn't understand my own native language sometimes!😂

This character ain’t brain dead from the looks of it the brain seems to be about the only thing working

Dr. House often brought to light new technologies used in healthcare as well as diagnoses to unusual illnesses - it was often an education...even amidst the characters and their stories.

That's very cool how he tries to talk through the machine ALMOST. House is so stubborn in other videos of him

Brilliant doctor. I wish his character had stayed on the show. The way they wrote him off was devastating

They wrote him off so suddenly because the actor himself bailed. He left the show to become a politician and still is to this day.

In German there is a book called "bis auf den Grund des Ozeans", it's a true Story about an locked in patient . Can't find it in englisch but it's really touching and also hard to read

So nice to see Kumar finally get a job as a Doctor.

I really wish you would state the season and episode # so I can go watch the whole thing! Thanks for sharing!

Season 5 episode 19 "Locked In"

S5 E19

Is that mos def? He’s so great

I just finished house last night. I already miss it

love house XD great tv show!

Fun fact people in coma’s can ACTUALLY still hear you and control how they stop breathing to make their heartbeat speed up or breathe again to make it slow down. I learned this from my mother who was in a coma twice. They claimed she was brain dead at one point but she wasn’t so only god knows what is real or not anymore.

Ahh... Yes... The Most Excruciating pain Is An Itch You Can't Scratch

Teach him Morse code and we will have a fully conversation.

THATS A GOOD LOOP- OMG IM NOT EVEN HIGH AND I SAT HERE FOR ABSOLID TWO MINS STARING AT IT

Definitely need to put more words on that monitor

This was a really unique episode.

Dang...this how my girl communicates with me when I ask her where she wants to eat or what's wrong with her

I know this is a show, and the actual diagnosis is serious, but did bro just make them guess all that for him to say his foot itches like hell? Cuz that's honestly what I got from what's shown in the clip.

Does anyone know how this episode ended? Why this foot pain? Did they ask him if he desired to live with LIS or end his life? I’m a retired US MD. Great interest in this. Thank you.

@Luna Eclipse How was his friend there, after the former patient recovered?? XD

It's amazing that the cases in the show are incredibley unlikely but I know of two examples where watching the show wouldve helped, cobalt poisoning and a controversial death in antartica from menthonal overdose

Leptospirosis

As far as I remember (which may not be entiiirely accurate) the foot itchiness meant his liver or some other organ was failing. In the end they found out the locked in syndrome was caused by rat urine from his friends basement entering a cut on his finger and managed to get him functioning again!

being conscience but not being able to move or talk is my nightmare. the other one is dementia. they're both basically being dead but alive at the same time

Get my man a good itch scratcher!

I love technology especially like this for people who cannot move or even communicate verbally or with their eyes.

Which season and episode is this?

Love the show. Rare diseases . Occasionally the common ones slip past through

man really went thru all that to say his right foot was itching lol

Think I need to rewatch House again, better get ready for my doctor wife to tell me all the ways its inaccurate.

this is one of my favorite episodes

Best medical drama ever.

whats it called?

Ngl this was one of my fav episodes 😭

This has happened in real life not only in Hollywood. Amazing.

this literally happened to a young guitarist named Jason Becker. He was a true prodigy but became totally paralyzed, leaving him wheelchair bound and unable to move or speak. He communicates using eye movements

That is my worst nightmare. Its like being burried alive :(. Absolutely horrific.:(

New 😨 fear unlocked. Thanks again House..

FINALLY I can watch something on this channel! Keep getting notifications yet can't watch the videos for some reason...

Could someone give me some context for this short?

Honestly wont able to live like that, I would ask them to put me down, then ask in the next, "So was that Gods Plan?"

Mannnn this was the last episode when Kutner wasn't a hallucination... Sad way to get rid of a fan favorite character... On the bright side, Kal Penn did what he wanted to do so there's a silver lining

He shot himself but appeared in a hallucination in a later season.

​@Shubhangi Sharmayou two haven't seen the show I'm guessing? I can tell you what it means but it's a major spoiler.

Kutner was real

What

So Kumar actually went through with his dad's wishes to become a doctor
