Author: Differential Diagnosis October 29, 2019 Duration: 1:12:54

Another week, another Differential Diagnosis of an incredible episode of House MD. This week, we're looking at Babies & Bathwater, also known as the death of Vogler. After an emotional roller coaster, we finally come to the final episode of the Vogler chronicles.

On top of that, Season 1, Episode 18: Babies & Bathwater has a lot going for it, with a script written by David Shore himself and an intricate series of plot lines which pull together a cohesive them and lots of great drama. This is one of the best episodes from season 1 of House MD, so join us as we analyse the important bits and differentially diagnose the episode.

And of course if you want to let us know what you think, then why not drop us a message at @HouseMDCast and let us know what you think.


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.
