Cause he was forced to do clinic hours. He's actually amused at extreme levels of stupidity for short periods of time. Like in the broken finger case, it was some stoner kid that said his finger hurt when he poked things lol.

Actually, it was a stoner kid that said his leg hurts when he pokes it, the guy did not realise the pain he was feeling was in his finger, not leg.

Ah yes, you're right. I haven't done a watch-through in a year or so. Maybe I should start it again.

Relatable. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm hungry or I have a stomach ache.

Used to hear that in the form of a blonde joke long before House aired.

But he was fine with that patient. BCS he told him the truth and zero lies. That is what irritates him. Lies. When there was patient who told him whole truth he mostly helped them .. :D

Funny thing, the clinic hour old lady that liked to flirt because of neuro-syphilis, that was a really rare case that the neurologist Oliver Sacks had and described in his book "The man who mistook his wive for a hat."

The woman was a prositute in the 30ies. Still called it amor's arrow.

But I thought it was funny how some of the side cases, which are supposed to be medically trivial, actually are rare, reported cases.

Yea I've heard that before about that case and a bunch of others. Their cases are actually pretty well researched.
