House (also known as House M.D.) is an American medical drama series produced by David Shore and Bryan Singer. The pilot episode premiered on Fox, a terrestrial television network, on November 16, 2004. The series revolves around Dr. Gregory House, a maverick medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.[1] House and his team use differential diagnosis[2] to arrive at initial diagnoses, which are often wrong, on account of the unusual cases that Dr. House accepts. House frequently clashes with his boss Cuddy, and his friend, Dr. Wilson.

After the pilot episode attracted approximately seven million viewers,[3] it was quickly picked up for a full season of 22 episodes. House gained high ratings and critical praise after it was placed in the time slot following American Idol during the spring of its first season.[4] Seasons two and three both aired 24 episodes from September to May of the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 television seasons respectively. Season four, however, was cut short by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, and only aired 16 episodes. The fifth season began airing on September 16, 2008. In January 2009, House was moved to a new timeslot: Monday night at 8:00 EST, before 24. As of April 2, 2009 a total of 105 episodes of House have aired. House airs in 28 countries.

The first four seasons have been released on DVD by Universal, in regions 1, 2 and 4. The first season is also available on DVD in region 5.

At the hospital, Adler suddenly loses her vision and suffers another seizure.

After Dan exhibits more symptoms, including a myoclonic twitch and a blocked blood vessel, House diagnoses Dan. Dan suffers from an auditory hallucination during a procedure, however, ruling out House's diagnosis. Using the coffee cups from the parents, House does a paternity test and discovers that neither parent is biologically related to Dan.

But when Brandon's white blood cell count drops, proving both doctors wrong. At the clinic pharmacy, House theorizes that Brandon was accidentally given colchicine instead of cough medicine, which explains all of his symptoms aside from his cough. House gives Brandon the cure, and he immediately begins to recover, yet the doctors are unable to find the source of the colchicine.
