Episode 51 of "House"
s03e05 Fools For Love

House takes on the case of 20-year-old female patient Tracy Dawson, who is rushed to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with breathing difficulties and unexplained intense abdominal pain after she and her husband, Jeremy, are victims of a robbery. During Tracys stress test, Jeremy collapses in the hospital viewing room, with test results leading the team to believe the couples illnesses are related. Their strained relationship with Jeremys father causes Tracy to hallucinate about a past incident when her father-in-law tried to hurt Jeremy for seeing her. The traumatic dream leaves Tracy in a coma and House wants to conduct a very risky biopsy on her brain stem, but Jeremy refuses to consent. House enlists Wilsons help to explain the potentially dangerous procedure and secure Jeremys consent, but all does not go as planned... House discovers a new symptom that takes the case down a shocking new path and changes the course of the couples lives forever. Meanwhile, House and clinic patient Michael Tritter (guest star David Morse) have a touchy altercation, leaving Tritter appalled and furious at the way House treated him.
