Wilson once said that House doesn't know his medical history, Tanathir, so he shouldn't have access to Wilson's records.
In Brazil, where health system sucks, by the way, every person with a driver's license has the blood type printed on it. I know my blood type since I was a little kid, I was tested at school.
Japanese posters have said the same thing on other sites, but North America isn't like that. Like blue, I only found out when I donated blood - I still wouldn't know if I hadn't, and lots of people never donate blood. And while I'm no medical expert I would be very surprised if blood typing were done as part of regular checkups.

Well certainly the point is that Wilson thinks its strange that House knows. Enough to make an issue out of it.
So it can't be some sort of common knowledge or a discussion they had, House sort of tried to explain it away like that and Wilson didn't go for it.
I agree. Whether it's common to know your blood type in whatever country you live in doesn't matter - in the context of the show it was presented to the viewer, through Wilson's reaction, as significant.
For that reason, I have to disagree with most of the interpretations: that it was on a file, House knew it from some blood drive, etc. Wilson clearly stated he'd never told House and his surprise at House's knowledge leaves out those other occasions. He knows House has gone through his personnel file (which wouldn't have that info anyway), if it had come up in some other situation Wilson wouldn't have been surprised.

Is it common to know someone else's? I'm friends with a bunch of blood/plasma donors, and it's common for us to have it come up in a conversation. House and Wilson are in the medical field, and I'd be surprised if this little fact didn't come up at some point in conversation (even though I could see House obtaining that knowledge in other ways).

Yes it appears that House discovered Wilson's blood type by obtaining his blood and then testing it. Wilson didn't voluntarily give House his blood so how did he get it? This is significant but I don't why it's significant. We know how House obtained 13's saliva to test for Huntington's. Why oh why do they have to be so mysterious about anything involving House and Wilson? It almost feels shippy.

I believe Wilson specifically said, "I never told you my blood type" and he really pushed the question of how House knew, which House avoided. So like I said, if it was something that casually came up or was common knowledge between then Wilson would have known and not made it a big deal.

Ah, if only... :wink:
OK so the blood type wouldn't be common knowledge and hadn't come up in conversation before, fine. I'm still bemused as to why Wilson would be quite so surprised by House knowing it. Wilson knows the extent of House's inquisitiveness, curiousity and intrusive nature better than anyone!

I think Wilson is not so surprise, how he is offended. All that make me sense that Wilson think that if Hosue made him blood test , that will be meaning maybe House was worry about anything connection with Wilson health. Something like herpes. Did you remember that Grace was had a herpes in House VS. God. How could be House sure then that Wilson didn't slept with Grace during the case?And the other my theory is that Wilson maybe was cheating on House with another man, and House was thought that Wilson maybe is HIV positive. If you remember again second season , I think epi 13, where Wilson told of House that he needs from "friend for an actional conversation"(if I remember correctly) and House told then that if he want friend like this, may be Wilson is had made something "deeply wrong" like to cheating on House with man, example;D

Someone to pay me attention, please!!!!
I beg you all Hilsons here to rewatch Whatever it Takes and especially the last scenes with House. I swear I saw a "smooch" of his neck behind of his left ear. You can see it clearly in the scenes with Terzi at the end.
Please for confirmation!!!!
Edited by 407 - posting in a different colour kinda hurts my eyes (see: the rules). Try and stick to black in the future? Thanks kiddies xx

What, do you mean a hickey is visible on his neck in that final scene with Terzi? (And it's definitely not his bullet wound scar?)

because his bullet scar was on right side of his neck. This 'smooch" is on left side.
the bullet scar is over in season 4th. I can't find the reason why TPTB got decision to take out it.

I dunno, I'm not really seeing a lovebite on his neck in this scene. It kind of looks like a shadow to me...
