#3 - S1 E4: Maternity

Author: Differential Diagnosis July 22, 2019 Duration: 55:55

We're taking a look at one of the darker episodes of House MD season one, Maternity, AKA the one with the dead baby (sounds like an intense episode of Friends). We'll be exploring this dramatic episode of House, discussing the unique tone and style that House MD is starting to establish for itself as well as explore the increased characterisation that the show is continuing to improve on, most notably in terms of the characters Cameron and Wilson.

As always, please let us know what you think about House MD, or the the Differential Diagnosis - A House MD Podcast. You can contact us directly at our twitter, which can be found at @HouseMDCast. We look forward to hearing from you.


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.
