A Day at Princeton Plainsboro

Part 1

Scene: The diagnostic office at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Dr. Gregory House is sitting at his desk, tinkering with his guitar. Allison Cameron is reviewing patient charts, and Henry Hart, a teenage prodigy and helicopter pilot, is visiting his adopted mother during his school break.

House: (strumming his guitar) You know, Cameron, if you keep working that hard, you might end up in the Guinness Book of World Records for most charts reviewed in a single day.

Cameron: (without looking up) You're one to talk. It's not like you do anything other than play that guitar and try to annoy us.

Henry: (entering the room, carrying a lunch bag) Hey, Mom! Got us some sandwiches from that deli down the street. Thought you might like a break.

House: (glancing up) Ah, the famous Kid Danger. What's it like being a superhero and still having time for sandwiches?

Henry: (grinning) Well, it's pretty cool. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've seen. Like, did you know Puerto Rico has more than 100 miles of coastline?

House: (raising an eyebrow) Fascinating. What's that got to do with diagnosing a patient?

Henry: (sitting down next to Cameron) Nothing. Just thought it was cool. Anyway, Mom, did you hear about the new case? I saw Dr. Chase talking about it on my way in.

Cameron: (nodding) Yes, it's a complex one. We've got a patient with multiple symptoms that don't quite add up. It's a real puzzle.

House: (smirking) Oh, a puzzle. My favorite. Let's hear it.

Cameron: (sighing) The patient has chronic fatigue, joint pain, and unusual skin rashes. We've ruled out the usual suspects, and nothing in the tests has provided a clear diagnosis.

Henry: (eyes lighting up) That sounds like a real challenge. You know, I've got some experience with tricky situations. Maybe I could help out.

House: (looking intrigued) Really? A teenager wants to play detective. Alright, Kid Danger, let's see what you've got. What's your approach?

Henry: (thinking hard) Well, I'd start by looking at any environmental factors. Sometimes, unusual symptoms can be linked to something external. For example, have there been any recent changes in the patient's surroundings or lifestyle?

Cameron: (impressed) That's actually a good point. We haven't looked into their environmental history thoroughly yet.

House: (grinning) Alright, Kid Danger. You've earned your keep today. Cameron, add environmental factors to our investigation. And you, keep those sandwiches coming. I have a feeling we're going to need the energy.

Henry: (smiling) Will do. And if you need any more fun facts about Puerto Rico, just ask.

Cameron: (laughing) Thanks, Henry. And House, please try to refrain from using his enthusiasm to annoy us any further.

House: (mocking innocence) Me? Never. Now, let's solve this puzzle before I get bored and start playing louder.

Scene fades as House, Cameron, and Henry dive into the case, combining their unique skills and perspectives to uncover the mystery behind the patient's symptoms.
