I think they were trying to show that *depending* on the net for correct medical information the way the PotW did is crazy. I didn't mind that, TBH. A lot of people who surf the net for medical information are college-educated, that is true; that does not mean they have the skills or background to evaluate the information appropriately. I'm not trying to sound condescending, but sometimes patients are just as condescending with their doctors the way the PotW was. The team was actually pretty sympathetic about accommodating the PotW by testing the internet diagnoses. OTOH it also made their job harder. There's a trade-off.

I really wish they'd let Foreman have his diagnosis. I know they couldn't for dramatic reasons--they needed the House ex machina. Still, I did feel some sympathy for Foreman. He has gotten the correct diagnosis on his own several times, he is capable of running a department, it's just that he's not the special snowflake House is.
