#12 - S1 E13: Cursed

Author: Differential Diagnosis September 24, 2019 Duration: 55:07

In this mostly forgotten House MD episode, we take on a differential diagnosis of Cursed, the 13th episode of the first season, which appears to be one of the strongest first season episodes of House which has remained in the background of the show's legacy of stand out episodes.

With a strong thematic premise that is integrated well across all of the plot lines, as well as the first and only tragic appearance from Chase's dad, there's a lot to unpack here, so over the next hour or so, that's exactly what we're going to do. Join us and enjoy yourself.

Differential Diagnosis-A House MD Podcast is a deep, chapter-by-chapter revisit of the groundbreaking medical drama, applying the show's own diagnostic methodology to its storytelling, characters, and cultural footprint. Each weekly episode serves as a thorough case review, dissecting a specific installment of the series long after its finale to explore what made it tick-the ethical dilemmas, the character flaws, the diagnostic puzzles, and the often-brilliant narrative medicine. The conversation naturally expands beyond a simple recap to consider broader themes, from the nature of genius and pain to the show's enduring legacy in how we view medicine and morality on television. This isn't just a nostalgic rewatch; it's a deliberate and thoughtful analysis for fans who still find layers to unpack in Gregory House's world. Join the hosts every Monday as they break down an episode, a pivotal character moment, or a unique production detail, fostering a community discussion that continues the diagnostic process. You're invited to join that conversation and share your own thoughts on the podcast and all things House MD.
