    EMH Mk3 was discontinued in 2386 after chronically misdiagnosing lupus and frequent reports of missing biomemetic gel.

      But it’s also not immuloidosis or sarcoidosis.

      “It’s environmental” - Foreman

      “You would think it’s environmental, that’s all they let your people believe about their circumstances” - House

      And then everyone moved on from that casual racism lol

    You just got to hope that his patients don’t suffer kidney failure from the 9 different procedures he guessed would work before they find the right problem

      I want star trek space babble explanations for medical problems. I want house to tell me that it’s not a disease, it’s a parasite, one that exists only when we’re looking for it. A quantum parasite.

        Now we could easily fix the quantum parasite with the transporters only I’m not going to do that because that’s to easy. So instead I’m going to inject you with Borg nanobots, and can you assimilate Foreman when he comes in because his whole job is to suffer.

        Just so you know, I’m stealing this idea, and will use it both during ttrpg play, and in a short story I’ve been looking for a good disease to work around.

        If published, I’ll credit you under whatever name you prefer, if you want credit.

          No credit necessary. Be sure to include a whole bit about house seeing things on the holodeck when he hasn’t turned them on, or him recognizing that he’s actually still on the ship and not on another planet because he still feels the full amount of pain in his leg and it’s not reduced like in low g.

          That’s some straight-up Welcome To Night Vale medical horror. Like a plague of fatal politeness, or Langdon’s basilisk. Which in D&D might just be a photograph of an actual basilisk.

          edit: Wait, no, they actually did that in Doctor Who. Donna had that thing on her back that could only disguise itself through the first dozen reflections.

    House likes medical mysteries. So if anything hed be very interested in what the medical emergency itself was unless it was trivial and therefore boring. Then you would have reason to worry.

    I would love an episode of that. They’ve done plenty of fan fiction in holodecks, why not house (other than the legal crap, don’t bring reality into this)?

          It’s a photoshopped image. They’ve taken the face of Hugh Laurie as House and put it over an image of a Starfleet doctor. The text added to the text is to invoke the memory of The Doctor from Voyager. Implying that there would be a new Emergency Medical Hologram that was Dr House as the hologram.
