re: #361 MandyManners

Except for one episode of House, actually.

It was a case of a girl who had severe allergies to just about everything.

He correctly deduced that what was causing her anaphlyactic shock was a tick that had bitten her in the unmentionable regions, carried there by her boyfriend. She was unconscious, but he didn’t seek consent before he, uh, followed up on his theory, because her life was at risk, found the tick, and removed it, saving her life.

But I rather think that’s a bit of a corner case that’s unlikely to really occur.
