It has always been my experience that when couples break up friends divide and take sides...I wonder how Wilson would have felt if House had stayed friends with Julie...since Wilson was the 'wronged' party in that divorce I would guess that he would have been PISSED if House had remained friends with her. Wilson NEVER sided with his 'best friend' in ANY CIRCUMSTANCE that House would have needed support. Ugh, I just hate Wilson.

You have Cuddy and Wilson in PERFECT character according to David Shore...those two always thought the worst of House and couldn't believe he could be a good person...which we as viewers got to see quite often.

I have read this before, but was looking for some positive vibes during this screwed up period of time...

Thank you.

Fantastic story
I really like this

I like this chapter

I love this couple

Not sure how a cast on her forearm prevents her from raising (or straightening her arm. You even said she has full use of her fingers. It's like the least inconvenient type of broken arm possible.

To make grammatical sense that jibe Cameron makes at Stacy should be "What, she couldn't put him in a chemically-induced coma and diagnose him herself".

Also, technically what Stacy did was choose the treatment. The diagnosis was known already but meh.

I love this story.

this is going to be fun

omg this was amazing! why could it not have gone this way on the show - i would have loved to have seen cameron and stacey bitching it out _
very well written, with a nice fluidity, well done :)

Aww that was such a cute story ;)

I sure love this story...and have no idea how many times I have read it now!Thank you!

god Wilson is annoying...really hate him and his petty, need to know everything about House's personal life...which he then uses against him to manipulate him...he reminds me of a middle school girl.

way to go Wilson. I am SO glad to read that there are writers out there that DO understand somewhat what House did was right. No, he didn't refuse the speech just because of it being Vogler's drug, he did it for professional reasons as well. Companies that put their profits ahead of the patients that they are supposed to be helping are BAD companies. House's "ethical standards" are permanently set in STONE, he does not waiver from them for ANY reason. He would absolutely "swallow his pride" if it meant saving someone's life, but never just to feed the ego of a POWER HUNGRY CONTROL FREAK.

I certainly hope that by NOW, everyone realizes that House did the ETHICAL thing in his speech. Drug company profits should NEVER have higher priority than patient care...what Vogler did is called COERCION. (Blackmail in layman's terms)

Lovely story!

Wonderful story. I could have read on for hours!
