"Well," she says utterly innocently, "if we do that, they wouldn't have done you any good, anyway." She manages to keep a straight face at that. Cameron has definitely been working for House too long. But it's hard not to feel a little defensive in the face of Amory's accusations. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd be willing to look at things from her perspective, either.

"If it came down to it," she adds, a little softer both in volume and in tone, "would you rather lose a limb or your life?"

When someone challenges what you've dedicated your life too, being defensive is only expected.

"Maybe," she answers simply, disinclined to weigh in on the issue and not (thankfully) forced to get emotional about it, today. It's kind of a funny position for Cameron to be in, given the way things usually are.

"But that's an extreme situation. A lot of people avoid doctors because they're afraid of getting bad news to begin with."
