Where is this clip located? I checked the H_W LJ and didn't see the post. Maybe I'm losing it???

Babyeinstein, the LJ post is here, although the actual clip is on marykir's site.

I saw it at Marykir's site baby. http://www.marykir.com/hl/house/interviews.htm Its not in the screen caps its the very beginning of the clip as Leno is going off to a commercial before he comes back to interview Hugh. Okay I’m a little bored, waiting on a friend :), so I’d a very preliminary search. Here some interesting info for speculation. From Netwellness.org: While chest pains can be a clear sign of a heart disorder or other major health problem requiring immediate medical attention, other symptoms often are overlooked, seriously prolonging treatment time and increasing damage to the heart. People have the best chance of surviving a heart attack and minimizing the risk of damage to the heart muscle by getting treatment quickly, ideally, within the first five minutes of the initial symptoms. The difference between fast and delayed treatment can range from complete recovery to long-term disability or death. Signs of a heart attack can appear in such unexpected areas as the shoulder, neck, back or jaw. In addition, unusual sweating, light-headedness and nausea can be present. What seems to be "indigestion" is a very common presenting symptom of heart attack and/or angina From www.umich.edu: Researchers at the U-M and several other leading medical centers are reporting that a high percentage of patients with a life-threatening heart condition are still dying in the hospital in spite of recent medical advances. Their findings are published in the Feb. 16 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The ailment is called acute aortic dissection—a rare, but often fatal condition, characterized by separation of the aortic walls. Aortic dissection occurs in two forms: Type A dissection involves the ascending aorta; type B occurs near the left subclavian artery and down the descending aorta. Severe pain was the most common presenting symptom, with type A patients complaining of chest pain, while more localized abdominal or back pain was predominant in type B dissection cases. Dr, Kim Eagle interim chief of the Division of Cardiology and lead author on the new study says it’s important to note that most patients reported a sharp pain, rather than a ripping or tearing pain, which is thought to be the classical symptom. Seventy-two percent of the type A patients were managed surgically while 20 percent of type B patients required surgery. A minority of type B patients who did not undergo surgery were treated by a technique called percutaneous fenestration—a catheter procedure designed to improve blood flow to vital organs. This procedure is in addition to standard medical therapy for type B dissection. Patients with type B dissection treated medically had the lowest mortality rate (10.7 percent), while patients with type B dissection who underwent surgery had a 31.4 percent in-hospital mortality rate. Eagle says the highest mortality occurred soon after onset of symptoms, necessitating the urgent need for quick diagnosis and appropriate therapy,. “Acute aortic dissection is uncommon, but complications develop rapidly and the outcome is often fatal,” Eagle says. “Despite significant medical advances, in-hospital death for aortic dissection remains high. This study confirms the need for further improvements in our ability to understand, diagnose and manage this devastating condition.” This is what Jonathon Larson (Rent) and John Ritter died of.

Wow! Thanks Nightdog and Filex for your quick response. Wilson is definitely limping and rubbing his back. At first I was reticent because RSL has a bit of a waddle when he walks (I love him, but he does!), but this is definitely not the same thing. Way speculative here, but wouldn't it be cool if the writers put little hints to Wilson's ailing condition in the next few episodes that a few viewers would catch, but House misses due to his interest elsewhere? Sort of a dramatic irony - where the viewer knows more than the main character (sorry... literature teacher here...) That would really spark the viewer's interests. Especially those of us who stare at Wilson throughout the episode anyway (drooling not necessary to the diagnosis, but understandable nonetheless)

No longer needed. Mods can delete if they would like. :D

It's at the beginning of the clip on my site, which filex linked to a couple posts earlier. Has anyone slowed down long enough to consider that Wilson pulled something playing mini-golf? Fortysomethings get all kinds of aches and pains :)

I was thinking back sprain or kidney ailment, but acute aortic dissection. Sounds like a strong possibility. Maybe House isn't catching as readily to what's happening with Wilson because he isn't getting the opportunity. In that clip, Wilson is walking behind House, and touches his back when House isn't looking.

Maybe that's it...House figures out Wilson's problem over the next three and half episodes (he does look back...in concern? in that clip) and then loses his memory.

They are at work his not suppose to be pristine, so messed hair isn't necessarily a sign of anything. Hopefully a longer version of this clip w/ dialouge will be one of the promos released for LTD sometime next week.

I know the title is Wilson's Heart...but back pain (lower) can be indicative of kidney issues too...he's always eating those fattening potato chips.
