The patient brings a mucussample to House for examination. He insults the patient and guesses that she's getting fired because her glasses and teeth have recently been worked on. He agrees to give her a full body scan while her insurance is still good. The next patient has a sore throat. House makes him wait. Cuddy comes in an examines the patient....
In addition to being a diagnostician, House also has a double specialty in infectious diseases and nephrology.House has been a doctor for twenty years.In an attempt to make his clinic hours more interesting, House starts calling Cuddy for consults.First time mentioning about Chase's interest in Cameron. Foreman and Chase talk about how attractive she is. Foreman tells Cameron that Chase cannot look at her without thinking about sex.The title of the episode comes from the principle of Occam's razorwhich states that one should not make unnecessary assumptions when drawing conclusions. It does not, like Foreman states, mean that the simplest answer is usually correct. This principle is played with throughout the episode.
As House himself said, pharmacy errors cause thousands of deaths a year, and many more illnesses. However, colchicine poisoning is rather rare.

As House pointed out, "pharmacy errors" (which is not identical to "pharmacy negligence", but negligence is included in errors) kill about 7,000 people in the United States a year. That's much smaller than the number of deaths from "medical mistakes" (again, which includes but is not equal to "medical negligence" or "malpractice) which is closer to 100,000. The most common pharmacy errors are: 1. Misread/illegible prescriptions (which really is a physician problem) 2. Similar looking medicine...
Diagnostic Trials
Once again, House starts treating a patient without confirming a diagnosis. As Cuddy quite correctly points out, this is exceedingly dangerous even in urgent cases. The wrong treatment can be more damaging than allowing the real disease to take its course. And this is a perfect example. The patient's condition abated on its own once he stopped taking his "cough medication". Had House merely waited, the patient would have gotten better. The tests would have come back negative. The matter would...
