A Day at Princeton Plainsboro

Part 2

Scene: The diagnostic office. The team has been working tirelessly on the new case. House is in his chair, rolling around the room. Cameron and Henry are going over the patient's environmental history. Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman are also present, discussing test results.

House: (rolling his chair back and forth) So, Cameron, any progress on the environmental factors?

Cameron: (looking up from the file) Actually, yes. We found out that the patient recently moved into a new apartment. It's older and was renovated shortly before they moved in.

Henry: (nodding) That could be significant. Renovations often involve materials like lead paint or asbestos, which could cause symptoms like fatigue and skin rashes.

House: (interested) Nice deduction, Kid Danger. Now we just need to figure out if these materials are the culprit or if something else is at play.

Chase: (holding up a report) We got back the results from the air quality tests. There are elevated levels of mold spores and some unusual chemicals.

Foreman: (frowning) Mold could definitely be a factor. It can cause respiratory issues and general malaise. But the chemicals are more concerning. We need to know what they are.

Henry: (enthusiastically) I can help with that. I have some connections and resources that might be able to identify the chemicals. I used to work on similar issues back in my superhero days.

House: (raising an eyebrow) Superhero days, huh? Alright, let's see what you can dig up. And while you're at it, grab us some more sandwiches. We're going to be here for a while.

Cameron: (smiling at Henry) Thanks, Henry. Your help is much appreciated.

House: (smirking) Don't get too cozy. We still have a long way to go.

Scene: A few hours later. Henry has returned with more information about the chemicals. House, Cameron, Chase, and Foreman are gathered around the diagnostic desk.

Henry: (excitedly) I found out that the chemicals in the apartment were used in a type of industrial cleaner. It's known to cause skin reactions and respiratory issues if not used properly.

Cameron: (surprised) That matches our patient's symptoms. We should advise them to leave the apartment and have it properly cleaned and ventilated.

House: (leaning back in his chair) Good work, Kid Danger. Looks like you've earned your spot as a junior detective.

Chase: (nodding) Agreed. This could have taken us much longer without your help.

Foreman: (looking at House) What's next?

House: (smiling) We get the patient out of that toxic environment and see if their symptoms improve. And we should keep monitoring for any additional symptoms just in case.

Henry: (grinning) Sounds like a plan. And, House, if you ever need a superhero sidekick, you know where to find me.

House: (chuckling) I'll keep that in mind. Now, if you don't mind, I have a guitar that's calling my name. Cameron, you can deal with the paperwork.

Cameron: (laughing) I'll take care of it. Thanks for all your help today, Henry.

Henry: (heading out) Anytime! See you later, everyone.

Scene fades as the team continues to work on the case, their efforts leading to a resolution and highlighting the value of collaboration and diverse perspectives.
