House: The good news is he won’t be bitching about losing his hand if he can’t breathe.
Cuddy: The trauma from the fall could cause actuate respiratory distress syndrome.
House: Right, I forgot. Your roof.
Cuddy: It would cause lung infiltrates and maybe fever and conceivably the cyanotic fingers.
House: The only question is why? (House shakes out a Vicodin and takes it.)
Cameron: Why what?
House: Why her weird psychopathology requires a diagnosis formed entirely by personal guilt. Let’s assume we’ve been wrong up until now. Let’s assume, just for one second, that the earth doesn’t revolve around Cuddy’s roof. What if he was sick before he had his run-in with gravity? He just didn’t notice anything.
Foreman: Well, pneumonia can cause DIC, which can cause cyanotic fingers.
Chase: Pneumonia doesn’t hit that fast.
House: Sure, only pavement hits that fast.
