Storyline

- TriviaAt the beginning of the series, a woman has the name of Rebecca Adler. The female antagonist in the Sherlock Holmes is named Irene Adler. House is based on Holmes.
- GoofsIt is shown that steroids initially relieve symptoms of neurocysticerocis followed by worsening. House says that it is due to dead worms causing inflammation for which he gives albendazole (which is in fact used to kill the worm). In reality, what happens is when albendazole is administered it causes death of worms which may worsen symptoms and needs steroids to relieve symptoms. Here it is shown exactly opposite.
- Quotes
Rebecca Adler: I just want to die with a little dignity.
Dr. Gregory House: There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it! I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass... it's always ugly - ALWAYS! You can live with dignity; we can't die with it!
- Alternate versionsA slightly longer version of this episode (with about 4 minutes of extra material) was distributed free with various magazines as a promo for the series.

Featured review
You can't always get what you want.
Terrible with patients, Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) is excellent in determining what is wrong with them and then curing them.
He gets right to the heart of the matter, whether it is someone that is dying, or someone who is a hypochondriac, or a mother that thinks she knows more than her doctor does.
He doesn't mince words, and believes all people lie.
This episode introduces the characters we will grow to love and introduces the best medical show on television.
Directed by Brian Singer, who gave us X-Men and X2, this is one exciting show.
