In reply to for those of you who watch the show House, posted by KaraS on September 1, 2005, at 20:01:32
House is great! I just started watching it a few weeks ago, and I really like it. I can't usually stay interested in t.v. long enough to watch an hour long show, but I have been able to stay focussed on House.
Anyway, I am not sure why he and his ex split up, but I think it had to do with his whatever is wrong with his leg now. The re-run I saw the other night was flashbacking or something to when he was had some kind of infection or something in his leg and he was in the hospital (I missed what exactly happened to put him in hospital). Anyway, his ex is trying to convince him to have his leg amputated because he will likely die if it is not amputated. He keeps refusing. Since he is in so much pain, he is going to be put in a drug-induced coma to stop his suffering from the pain. His ex asks the doctor if, while he is in the drug-induced coma, she can use her medical proxy to make the decision to have his leg amputated. And, that was all I saw. So, I just assumed that she invoked her medical proxy, made a decision that he was against, and it destroyed their relationship. But, I don't really know.
> I got into it because of good recommendations from Babblers a little while back. Now I'm watching the reruns and his ex-wife has come back to ask for House's help to save her current husband. What I want to know is why she left House to begin with. It seems like they still care a great deal for each other.
