House
The premiere of House was good, in a “different” sort of way. They were trying harder than usual to make it a think piece.
Should I have recognized the girl with lung cancer? (Hey, easier to mention it here than to go look at an episode guide and then IMDB.) She looked familiar.
I was sure they would go for the angle of absolving death row guy. It’s cool they avoid simplistic.
The thing that really grabbed me was the mention of pheochromocytoma. Long time readers may recall that I had an MRI to rule out that as the cause of my insane blood pressure. I have pretty kidneys. I was surprised there was no mention of his blood pressure (that I heard anyway) being out of control, as that would be a more likely symptom than anything else. Especially if it’s extreme enough to provoke fits of unexplained rage and strength, far beyond mere inexplicable nervousness and anxiety.
So did you enjoy the episode?
If his PCC tumor was only intermittently releasing epi, then hos BP would be normal, except for during an attack.
