ALTRUISM IS A CURIOUS SYMPTOM
ON AN ALL-NEW "HOUSE"
MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, ON FOX
Olivia Wilde and Wentworth Miller (³Prison Break²) Guest Star
When Benjamin (guest star Wentworth Miller) suddenly collapses after making a rare and generous donation, House and Dr. Chi Park are convinced that his extreme altruistic behavior may indicate a deeper medical disorder. With no definitive explanation for Benjamin¹s loss of consciousness and unresponsiveness to treatment, House pushes just the right buttons to recruit former prison doctor Jessica Adams to volunteer her time and expertise to the case. Benjamin then makes a bold but life-threatening offer that could save another life, and the team must diagnose his disorder before he puts his own life on the line. Meanwhile, Adams and Park test each other's outlook on generosity and gratitude, and Thirteen¹s guilt conflicts with her pursuit of personal happiness on an all-new "Charity Case" episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Oct. 17 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-803) (TV-14 D, L)
- Timeline
- Patient of the Week
- Benjamin, a very rich man who has developed a desire/need/obsession to give away huge amounts of money, Collapses after leaving a donation.
- How House gets involved:
- Park brings him the case and he takes it because he finds out the man is rich and giving away money and House thinks he might fund his department.
- The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking
- House tries to con the patient into funding his department, although it could be an attempt at diagnosis as well. But then he asks Wilson if he can take the money.
- Preliminary diagnoses:

- The final diagnosis
- Plummer’s Disease with a nodule having problems that can even cause personality changes. House has made this worse by ordering a CT scan which included iodine
- Who Came up with final diagnosis
- House.
- Clinic Patients
- Young boy who is allergic to his mother's hand cream which he has been using as a lubricant.
- Additional Information:
- Thirteen comes back but then House fires her so she can spend her time being happy instead of working out of guilt.
