Question Who would investigate a stabbing? If you answered "a nuerologist" then you too can be a writter for this show. The correct answer is of course the police. Furthermore, random people don't have the power to revoke people's parole or decide criminal liability. I understand House isn't going to become a police procedural, but the writters should at least do their research if they are going to make this a major plot point. | ||

I understand House isn't going to become a police procedural, but the writters should at least do their research if they are going to make this a major plot point. The police wouldn't have gotten involved with House and chase etc. because they already know who stabbed him. The crime aspect of that was already answered. the nuerologist was part of the board for disciplinary hearings or something like that. The reason he handled it and not the police was because they were determining whether or not he should be suspended from the hospital not whether or not he should go to jail. Going to jail was a side effect due to his parole. It wasn't a random person deciding to revoke his parole, it was a head of the board deciding whether or not House should be punished. His parole would have been revoked to due its terms being broken not because some random guy decided to revoke. The police would have initially been involved but would have been focused more on the patient. House did not stab Chase or do anything illegal, hence why the police weren't investigating him the hospital was. | ||

Parole isn't automatically revoked, even if terms are broken. The decision on whether or not to file a report to revoke would be handled by the department of probation and parole. This guy could file a recommendation, to P&P but he wouldn't have any real authority. Even then, the ultimate decision would lie with the department of corrections. | ||

There would also be no civil liablity because there was an intentional intervening act breaking any proximate cause. There is no reason why the person selected to be a binding arbitartor would have zero understanding of the legal issues behind the incident. What the heck was all this "omg this guy is such a callious jerk?" That has nothing to do with anything. Parole isn't automatically revoked, even if terms are broken.

Where was it even stated that the neurologist could revoke House's parole? You're arguing a point that was never made. | ||

At the end of the episode where he changes his decision arbitrarily, House shows that he had the "revoke parole" papers in his case ready to be signed. In general, this season revolves around House being forced to play within the "rules" because otherwise the system will revoke his license to practice or whatever which will force him back to jail as is a condition on his parole. I liked the episode a lot, it was by far the best one this season and in a long time. The end of the "neurologist investigator" was a little weak, but I enjoyed the interplay between Chase and House a ton. | ||

He didn't say "revoke parole papers" he just said "parole form" which could mean a ton of things. | ||

Re-watched it, he follows it up by saying "You were going to send me back to prison," which I feels clarifies the intention, though whom knows. I do agree that the concept of an ethics board being used to prosecute a doctor back to prison is a little strange, but then again, that's the premise of this season so we can suspend disbelief. | ||

I think the whole "You were going to send me back to prison" was a way of saying Foremans mentor thought House should be punished. Its not like House would say "You were going to blame me so my parole officer would deny my freedom and thus I would end up in jail". Overanalyzing that is going a little far imo. Anyways, I read up on the coming episodes, and looks like the next episode will also be interesting, and using an uncommon format once again. | ||

 Here's another site confirming it: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.9f4ce5645046686fc6556f9bf84e995d.b81&show_article=1 To be honest, I think it's time for House to end too. The last few seasons weren't nearly as good as the first few. And Cuddy's gone. I wonder how it'll end... Maybe House will die. | ||
