Your reputation won't last if you don't do your job; the clinic is part of your job. I want you to do your job.
Ah, yes, but as the philosopher Jagger once said, "You can't always get what you want."
. . .
[later on]
[to House] Oh, I looked into that philosopher you quoted? Jagger? And you're right. You can't always get what you want. But as it turns out, if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
I'm angry! You're risking a patient's life.
I assume those are two separate points.
You see that? They all assume I'm a patient because of this cane.
Then why don't you put on a white coat like the rest of us?
I don't want them to think I'm a doctor.
Everybody lies.
Dr. House doesn't like dealing with patients.
Isn't treating patients why we became doctors?
No, treating illnesses is why we became doctors. Treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable.
I just want to die with a little dignity.
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! We can live with dignity - we can't die with it.
I wanted to thank Dr. House, but he never visited again.
He cured you. You didn't cure him.
