House M.D. Quotes I

“Maybe you didn’t want to die, but you didn’t care if you live.”

– Doc. James Wilson (House’s Bestie)

House M.D Season 4 Episode 3 : 97 seconds

He said that when House nearly killed himself by poking the live powerpoint with a knife, when House saw a patient doing the same thing in front of him. The patient, who had a fatal car accident previously told him of his previous Near-Death-Experience (NDE), and his heart had stopped for 97 seconds and that was “the best 97 seconds of my life ever.” That’s why the patient tried to stop his heart again to reexperience it. And the miserable House, being miserable, found that 97 seconds, tempting.

Misery not only loves company, but doesn’t care about living too.
