Someone should referene The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I'm certain this episode was inspired by the film considering the camera techniques employed and locked in syndrome. 74.74.228.42 (talk) 19:53, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

does anyone know how the selective focus technique was done? It almost looks like tilt-shift photography, but I've never heard of that being done with film cameras. If anyone knows for sure, I'd be curious to find out how that works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.228.181 (talk) 05:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I think this is the first episode that is largely shot from the first person perspective. The only other visual narrative I know of to use that technique be would be Cloverfield. Would that be worth noting in this article? 76.97.250.21 (talk) 01:21, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

The 1st person perspective is copying the way The Diving Bell and the Butterfly was made (a movie about locked in syndrome). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.35.109 (talk) 18:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

"At the end of the episode, House's vision gets blurrier as he enters the elevator." This was clearly done to show the similarities between the case in this episode and House not sharing his agenda with Wilson. I got the impression from this quote that House experienced this as a symptom, which needs to be clarified in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.70.43 (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion, this is for sure, an episode paying homage to "the diving bell and the butterfly". The dialogues are very similar, the actors too (he has a wife and two kids as in the movie), the escape (the beach) also appears in both, the way of communicating. I think that this is a turn of the screw on "The diving bell and the butterfly", like House saying: "if Ihad been there, I would have saved the guy". No sources because it is my opinion, but hte best source is the movie "The diving...". Cristian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.48.171.226 (talk) 19:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a citation template for citing TV episodes, and we should be able to use it to cite the commentary track for this episode to reference "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". I am unsure whether this kind of somewhat circular reference would be appropriate, though. Nettrom (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Episode commentary
There's a commentary track for this episode on the House season 5 DVDs, and during the commentary they do refer to the similarity to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. It also mentions how they did the photography, and some of the effects it had on the acting and the set. There's also what they claim to be a spoiler for season 6, although I'm reluctant to believe that it actually is a spoiler. I'll see if I can revisit the commentary track and gleam some useful info for it for this page. Nettrom (talk) 03:10, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Removal of sourced information
Since refuses to discuss differences of opinion on talk pages, and I don't wish to edit war by repeatedly reverting his edits, I am opening up discussion here. I believe removal of sourced information is inappropriate, even if mentioned in another article, and even if TenPoundHammer disputes that a source is reliable. It should be discussed here, per WP:CON as well as common courtesy. Cresix (talk) 19:02, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

As the actual patient, there was never any conflict to this particular episode had they bothered to speak directly rather than use an abuse of power hack to discriminate against the handicapped.

The source information wont be removed at any time. Now or ever. RCCola115 (talk) 14:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

The Final Diagnosis
Hello. I'm Sarah. I am the person who had leptospirosis in 2007, which I contracted via a dog infection as a pet stylist in Huntington Beach, CA. RCCola115 (talk) 14:39, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

It gave me trigeminal neuralgia which is why I separated my mind from my body to block the pain out while my brain was readjusting. It was severe and normal functions such as my handwriting was drastically altered due to the injury to my brain and nerves. I was unable to write with a pencil for almost two years because it was painful to grip it but I could still type. I also became more descriptive and ramble like because I couldn't remember simple words like hairbrush.

So I induced a walking zombie style of life for all of 2008 after 8 months of excruciating pain that had me debilitated and I was tired of being bedridden, screaming nonstop. It took my brain 6 years to heal almost completely so I could be a productive member of society again. Though I will have pain attacks/trigeminal neuralgia for the rest of my life as I said no to the MVD drilling a hole in my skull and cutting my trigeminal nerve off in the brain due to the chance of face fall deforming me like a stroke victim.

anyway....I'm fairly sure it was a Shiba Inu or similar dog that infected me with Leptospirosis in 2007 because I had a large Asian clientele that regularly had the breed shipped over from Asia.

Great storyline though other than the bike crash is in bad taste. RCCola115 (talk) 16:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
