A MARRIAGE IS TESTED IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH ON AN ALL-NEW "HOUSE" MONDAY, JANUARY 23, ON FOX

An Alzheimer's patient visits Princeton Plainsboro as part of a hospital sanctioned drug trial, but when he inexplicably suffers from violent vomiting and an increasingly explosive temper, the team begins to unravel a deeper marriage conflict between the patient and his dutiful wife. Meanwhile, House and Foreman butt heads, and Wilson treats a patient who claims to be in a chaste marriage in the all-new “Better Half” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, Jan. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-809) (TV-14 D, L, V)
Timeline
Patient of the Week
Andres, who has early onset Alzheimer's, starts vomiting blood.
How House gets involved:
Foreman brings the case and wants to sit in on it. He says because he wants the patient in his new drug test.
The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking
House tests the husband of Wilson's clinic patient without permission. And was he trying to electrocute Foreman when he used the paddles without first saying, "Clear!"?
Preliminary diagnoses:
The final diagnosis
Reye’s syndrome,
Who Came up with final diagnosis
Foreman while looking at some flowers which had been on his desk for days and still looked fresh because someone had put asperin in the water.
Clinic Patients
Wilson has a clinic patient he is treating for a bladder infection who claims she wouldn't need a pregnancy test because she and her husband of ten years are asexual. House calls in the husband to test him while claiming he is just getting a free flu shot.
