Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Candice Bergen

Candice Bergmen has appeared in numerous films and television productions, perhaps most notably, "Murphy Brown." She appears in this episode as Cuddy's somewhat opinionated mother. She appears as the "patient of the week," in this week's episode.

2. Cuddy's mother seems to be having a good time in the clothes shop. Suddenly, she experiences some discomfort. What does she complain about as she places her hand on her chest?

Answer: She believes that her heart is beating abnormally.

Cuddy's mother is joking with Cuddy about her choice of outfits. Then, she displays a look of discomfort and places her hand on her chest. She says, "My heart is doing that weird thing again." Cuddy is reluctant to take her seriously at first. However, upon checking her mother's pulse, Cuddy soberly says, "I think we need to get you to a hospital."

3. Masters is perplexed as to why the team is sitting in the morgue watching cartoons. There is a small wager as to whom House is hiding from. Who is House trying to avoid?

Answer: House is avoiding Cuddy.

Masters is perplexed, as always, about the behavior of the team. Chase explains that, "House is on the lam from someone. Taub's got his money on Wilson, but I'm pretty sure it's Cuddy." Cuddy enters the morgue and Chase wins the bet.

4. House is reluctant to take on the case involving Cuddy's mother. He cites conflicts of interest and other ethical considerations. What does Cuddy say to persuade House to take the case?

Answer: "She's my mother."

House tries to make a persuasive argument about their respective emotional investment in the case. He cites the ethical considerations. Nevertheless, House concedes when Cuddy pleads, "She's my mother."

Answer: "hypochondriac"

Having read her long medical history, House is relatively convinced that she is fabricating her symptoms. She is incensed by the fact that House gave her a placebo medication in order to prove his point. She wants House fired from the case.

Answer: "Bite vs. Me."

Taub says, "You bugged the room?" House declares, "I absolutely, without apology, will admit that someone may have allegedly done so." Masters decries, "Guess we can pass unethical and skip straight to illegal." House says, "Not according to the recent Supreme Court case of "Bite vs. Me.""

7. House addresses the team by saying, "DDX." House wants the team to explore various medical hypotheses. To what do you suppose "DDX" refers?

Answer: differential diagnosis

"DDX" refers to a differential diagnosis. House wants the team to come up with possible variations on a diagnosis as is their purpose. House proposes a controversial and completely radical course of treatment. The team is completely opposed to the regimen. Yet, House orders them to do it.

Answer: "This patient is the highest priority."

It may be true that the other reasons suffice for treating Masters the way he does, but he explicitly states that Cuddy's mother deserves the highest priority of care.

Answer: She fails to recognize sarcasm.

The fact that Cuddy's mother does not recognize sarcasm leads House to a diagnosis of a brain disorder induced by metal poisoning. Cuddy's mother's artificial hip replacement has precipitated metallic poisoning. The culprit is Cobalt in the form of heavy metal poisoning.

Answer: He breaks his nose.

At the bequest of Taub's ex-wife, Taub is hired by her brother as a medical consultant. Taub makes a diagnosis which is contrapuntal to the testimony of the insurance company. The brother-in-law is incensed and breaks Taub's nose after having perceived that Taub ruined his case. In a poignant moment, Taub's ex-wife exclaims, "You were a crappy husband, but you are a good person."
