- Sports Medicine

Lola - "Even if real human contact is something you don't have, or even want, or need, you should at least be able to see it in other people.

Patient's mother - "Who are you?"
Dr. House - "I'm the doctor who's trying to save your son. You're the mom who's letting him die. Clarification. It's a beautiful thing."
