re: #181 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

And notice there’s never a portion of the episode where House or one of the crew comes in and says that the very expensive test they need to perform has been denied by the insurance company. Or talk about whether or not he’s hit his “lifetime limit” and will need to start paying out of pocket for everything down to the cotton swaps they’re using on him.

Hell, even last week the patient was a homeless guy. The response when he says that he’s not going to let them do anything to him that he’ll have to pay for? “I don’t think they have a collection agency in the park.”

The patient was a cannibal!
