- Case History
Danny Jennings (real name unknown) is the homeless patient in the episode Fall From Grace who's later revealed to be a cannibalistic serial killer. He was portrayed by actor Chris Marquette. The website Buddy TV chose Danny its best patient in the series.
Danny was accidentally burned in an accident with a model rocket. However, the model builders who came to his aid and contacted 911 advised emergency personnel that Danny had trouble distinguishing smells before he lost consciousness.
Danny was taken to the emergency room of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital where he complained that his burned flesh smelled like liquorice, and the antiseptics like blueberry muffins. He identified himself as "Ferris Bueller". Ms. Masters brought the case to Dr. House was intrigued as the dysosmia could indicate anything from an environmental exposure to a degenerative brain disease and took the case. He ordered Dr. Taub and Dr. Chase to check out the park where they found the patient and ordered Ms. Masters and Dr. Foreman to start him on prednisone and do an odor ID test. He also told the team to find out what else the patient was lying about because the name he gave to the ER personnel was obviously a fake.
Dr. Foreman and Ms. Masters went to see the patient, who was having a meal. Dr. Foreman asked him how his burned arm was. Danny replied it still hurt, but he was afraid he was going to be discharged. Ms. Masters told him they were going to check out why his sense of smell wasn't working and asked him when he first noticed it. Danny replied he thought it was about two months prior. Dr. Foreman asked him for his real name so they could check his medical records, but the patient was uncooperative and said he didn't come there voluntarily and wasn't going to pay for extra tests. Dr. Foreman assured him that the hospital wouldn't be coming after him for payment. He denied having a medical history and denied ever being sick. However, Dr. Foreman noticed several scars and burn marks on his torso and back. Danny told the doctors that his father abused him as a child, but never hurt him so bad that the damage would show or would require a hospital visit.
The patient was shaved and his hair was cut. After the prednisone had time to work, Dr. Foreman and Ms. Masters came back to do the odor ID test. The patient still had trouble, mistaking baby powder for rotting meat and body odor for peppermint. Dr. Taub returned with syringes and vials and asked the patient what drugs he was using. The patient insisted they were only vitamin supplements. Dr. Taub also found books identifying the patient as Danny Jennings. The patient denied that was his name and went to discharge himself. However, when he went to get out of bed, he cried out in pain and complained that his stomach hurt. There was also blood on the bed indicating bleeding from the digestive tract.
The vials did turn out to be harmless Vitamin A and Vitamin B12 supplements. Dr. House still thought the patient might be a heroin addict, but Dr. Taub noted the patient's tox screen was clean. However, Dr. House had the patient's hair tested, and it showed he was a heavy heroin user sometime within the last five months. Dr. Foreman suggested the dysosmia might have been from snorting heroin, but it wouldn't cause the digestive tract problems. However, Dr. Chase suggested the vitamins the patient was injecting might have caused hypervitaminosis A, which would explain the digestive tract bleeding. Dr. House said although he usually looks for a single unifying disease for all the symptoms, with a homeless person, the odds were better that there were several things wrong with him. Ms. Masters suggested the bleeding may be caused by an obstruction, but Dr. House thought that hypervitaminosis was more likely and easier to treat. He ordered tocopherol and zinc to absorb the extra Vitamin A. Ms. Masters noted that if it was an obstruction, it could get much worse very quickly. Dr. House agreed to let her X-ray Danny's abdomen.
Ms. Masters talked to the patient about his heroin use while they prepared him for his X-ray. Danny admitted to using heroin, but said he had been clean for three months. He had just overdosed and was clinically dead, so he entered a state rehab program. The X-ray showed thirteen masses, each 2-8 mm in size, spread throughout the patient's colon. They couldn't be tumors because their edges were too defined. Dr. Chase ruled out parasites because the masses didn't move between X-rays, and there were no larvae or eggs in his stool samples. Dr. House thought they might be fungal masses attached to the wall of the colon. He ordered a colonoscopy.
