love house md as a dumpster fire trash medical drama show but istg they needed one (1) single person with chronic pain on the writer's team
#sharpie says shit#house md#hate crimes md#greg house#seriously he went off of vicodin to fkn ibuprofen???#dude was consistently still in pain while on an opiate there's no way otc medication could put a dent in his pain levels#nvm the whole placebo morphine shot meaning 'the pain was in his head'#no SHIT the pain is in his head THAT'S WHERE ALL PAIN IS#and physical pain DOES RESPOND to placebos#sometimes even better than psychosomatic pain!!!!!#the writers found out what psychosomatic pain is and applied it to house when there's a clear physical source of the pain#also!!!! he wasn't addicted to vicodin (at least up til season 5-ish)#he was dependent! because it's pain medication and he hurts!!!!#you can tell because he didn't reach for vicodin at all post-ketamine until he felt his leg hurt again!!!!#if he was addicted (and not dependent) he would've wanted the vicodin even when he didn't need it for pain#anyways i have too many opinions on this dumb show#also there's probably a neuropathic component to the pain because they cut off a bunch of thigh muscle#which means there are neurons kinda just firing into nothing
