On the T.V. show House...?

During a game of golf, he suffered an infarction in his right leg, which went misdiagnosed for three days due to doctors' concerns that he was exhibiting drug-seeking behavior (House eventually diagnosed the infarction himself). An aneurysm in his thigh had clotted, leading to an infarction and causing his quadriceps muscle to become necrotic. House had the dead muscle bypassed in order to restore circulation to the remainder of his leg, risking organ failure and cardiac arrest. He was willing to endure excruciating post-operative pain to retain the use of his leg. After House was put into a chemically induced coma to sleep through the worst of the pain, Stacy, House's medical proxy, acted against his wishes and authorized a safer surgical middle-ground procedure between amputation and a bypass by removing just the dead muscle. This resulted in the partial loss of use in his leg, and left House with a lesser, but still serious, level of pain for the rest of his life.

House got in a motorcycle accident, and his wife refused to allow him to get the needed surgery. Now, he is walking with a cane.

I just saw this episode. It was the pilot I think. He had some kind of infarction in his leg that led to muscle damage.

motorcycle accident wife didnt get him the surgery needed hence the limp and cane and meanness lol

he had major surgery and ex-wife refused to allow treatment to fix his leg. Thus the limp

The tv show "House" is not a reality show.

I pushed him.
