No, I meant that I hope Wilson became House's physician after the infarction! Otherwise the misdiagnosis was his fault, and I'm pretty sure I can't see their friendship surviving that. But yes, Wilson said in 'Humpty Dumpty' and 'Need to Know' that Stacy left House.

Even after so many, many viewings of the H/W rooftop scene, I still don't understand the exchange between them. Was Wilson upset that House let Stacy go or was he upset that they would get together. It was really hard to tell. The only thing that I did get was the way Wilson raced to the rooftop like he thought House would hurt himself.

I also believe that Stacy stayed for a year after the infarction, no more than that. The 15 years in the same apartment would mean that Stacy lived there too, and while is not impossible and it's actually canon, I can't really see the two of them living in such a small space - maybe that's why she said that with Mark she had space...

Idon also wrote: Even after so many, many viewings of the H/W rooftop scene, I still don't understand the exchange between them. I'm with you here... My only explanation is that they needed someone to tell us how miserable House was and Wilson was the natural choice. But I'm sure there must be better reasons...

*feels self getting sucked into vortex of timeline insanity again* Just one other thing to throw into the mix re length of time Stacy stayed with House after the infarction - Stacy & Mark had been married for 3 years by the time of Honeymoon. Knowing House & Stacy had been split up for 5 years by then, and assuming Stacy didn't literally leave House one day & marry Mark the next, I really think she can't have stayed with House more than a year after the infarction & I personally favour less than six months. This might not be stated anywhere but I feel its implied in the conversations in Hunting (e.g. when House & Stacy talk in the attic about her secretly smoking as a reflection of her misery - 'You started two weeks after my surgery. Menthols, then lights after a month' - can't believe they stayed together that many months with her in that state). Was that idea really proven? I'm not saying it's not true, but the "just because one night I gave you everything you wanted" line could mean so many things. I have no problem with Cuddy & House having had a fling in the distant past & I've thought so ever since Vogler asked her in Control & she didn't deny it :wink: ARGH! I have wasted too much of my life already on timeline stuff. MUST BE STRONG & RESIST *desperately clambers out of timeline vortex insanity*

No, come back to the timeline vortex insanity - it's fun! :twisted: I have no problem with Cuddy & House having had a fling in the distant past Neither do I. I actually believe they had slept together at some point - but not after the infarction - and I just don't think that specific line proved it. Also, we are so completely :off topic: So to try to put it on tracks again... Do you think Wilson is House's physician or he just prescribes the Vicodin? After all in No Reason House asked Cuddy for the ketamine treatment, not Wilson.

Also, we are so completely off topic . Yes, but we can get it back on track again. Do you think Wilson is House's physician or he just prescribes the Vicodin? After all in No Reason House asked Cuddy for the ketamine treatment, not Wilson. From my understanding, doctors don't always go to a doctor when we normally do. They might go for a checkup once in awhile, but not necessarily if they need a medication - I've heard of doctors asking another doctor that they trust to prescribe an antibiotic or whatever is needed. TPTB seem to push this idea a bit though with long-term pain medications. I haven't heard of those being prescribed for the reasons of the prescription being put to use - much like Tritter did. House is interesting in that he doesn't really trust other doctors, and Wilson is his best friend (and other stuff) so he just goes to Wilson for those things. But it would make sense that House also does not have a personal physician, or at least one that he would go to when he needs to see a doctor (as insurance companies insist you declare a pcp) - he wouldn't trust him/her. And I fear that with that answer, I just got

Lully: I always thought that House was being provocative and trying to make her uncomfortable. Are there others clues in TS that I've missed? I think it was a combination of that and Cuddy's response being, "that ship sailed a long time ago. Get over it." Which indicates there was something to get over, at least to me. To get back to the timeline insanity, and when House and Wilson could've possibly met - I think it's more likely that it was before PPTH? Because Wilson and Bonnie had their first date in Boston, and while it's possible he traveled from somewhere else for the date, it seems much more likely to me that he was working there at the time. My personal canon is that House and Wilson met and became friends at one of the hospitals House was fired from, and that later when Wilson was already working at PPTH he talked whoever was in charge at the time into hiring House. Mainly I think the latter because of House's comments about Wilson's skill at talking people into doing stuff, when Wilson's plainly hesitant about doing so with patients, but there must be *some*thing he's seen Wilson talk someone into doing that was fairly dramatic and House-related for him to be willing to recognize someone's better than him at something. But a lot of that's supposition, of course.

But, but... Sauty, we were discussing House/Stacy and House/Cuddy... :P doctors don't always go to a doctor when we normally do I can see the logic on that. And House really doesn't seem the kind of doctor who would have a physician specially after the infarction misdiagnose. Bonnie and Wilson at Boston: I always assumed (I know, it's a trap...) that he was there doing his Residence. Why House was around is what puzzle me, but maybe he was working there, and then he got fired and Wilson followed him when he came to NJ - Bonnie and Wilson got married 17 years ago (the Hector timeline) and House lives in the same apartment for 15 years. So maybe before that he was living in Boston... God! This is addictive!!!

But, but... Sauty, we were discussing House/Stacy and House/Cuddy... Razz True. But IMO, one has to use the H/S and H/C timelines in order to figure out the timeline for H/W. Why does this suddenly feel like algebra?

I need more information before I'm willing to accept the Hector time line as fact. Just because Bonnie referred to him as a puppy when they got him, doesn't necessarily mean that he was indeed a puppy at the time. I have a hard time to wrap my head around Wilson's age when he married for the second time, if we take that time line as fact. I still call our youngest cat kitten all the time. Just saying.
