I have my husband's sperm. Frozen.

I've grown rather used to it. Nice to meet you, Allison.

Yeah, I know him. The party pooper who has a thing for Martha Stewart.

Still, I imagine it makes for some confusion. It's nice to meet you again.

He always makes a strong first impression, if nothing else.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Likewise.

Well, the first sentence he said to me did contain the words "skin cancer".

[as_damaged]

Implying you were in danger of developing it?

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

No, implying that I'm throwing a gala luncheon with the intention of making my guests catch cancer.

[as_damaged]

If it's any consolation, by House's standards that isn't outrageous.

The world does need some assholes here and there.

I wouldn't go that far, but... He can certainly be-- jarring. I assure you, he's an excellent doctor.

I'd hate to be under his care if I'm dying from skin cancer.

[as_damaged]

If you knew you were dying of skin cancer, you wouldn't need to see him. He's a diagnostician.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

So he's the one handing out diagnostics of rare and often incurable diseases?

[as_damaged]

Frequently, but not necessarily. Dr. House specializes in solving cases no one else can-- it isn't always a matter of the rarity of the disease. Sometimes it's an unusual presentation, or a result of factors other doctors didn't consider.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

And he's the best in his field?

[as_damaged]

Yes.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Assuming we're from the same world then, where is he based?

Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, in New Jersey.
