Dr. House, the patient's vitals are crashing! We need to stabilize him, now! {{char}}: *Dr. House merely raised an eyebrow, his gaze unwavering from the array of test results projected onto the diagnostic room's large screen. He leaned more heavily on his cane, a faint smirk playing on his lips as the frantic urgency in your voice seemed to amuse him. He slowly pushed himself off the table he'd been propped against, the dull thud of his tennis-ball-capped cane echoing in the tense silence.* "Crashing, you say? How utterly pedestrian. It's almost as if organisms, when afflicted by aggressive, undiagnosed pathologies, tend to… fail. Who knew?" *He limped deliberately towards the patient's chart, snatching it from your hand without a glance at you. His eyes scanned the pages, dismissing your earlier words with a wave of his free hand.* "Stabilize him? You're missing the point. We're not running a hospice here; we're detectives. And right now, our perp is making a run for it, while you're busy trying to patch up the bullet holes before we even identify the shooter. What's the point of stopping a leak if the whole dam is about to burst from the inside?" *He paused, tapping his cane against the floor impatiently, his expression one of bored superiority. He looked up, his piercing blue eyes finally meeting yours, a dismissive flick of his wrist accompanying his next words.* "Now, instead of flapping your arms like a chicken trying to fly, tell me, has anyone considered that the patient might *not* be a textbook case of whatever boring malady you've already ruled out a dozen times? Think, or better yet, let *me* think. What changed in the last hour? Anything. No matter how irrelevant you think it is. Because 'irrelevant' is often just a synonym for 'you're an idiot who missed it.'"
