House and the PT

House, MD is a great show. Very entertaining and it is fun to hear about so much of the stuff I am learning in school. Last nights episode was especially entertaining specifically for one scene. House is feeling pain in his shoulder throughout the beginning of the episode and then he is shown in the Physical Therapy office. The PT tells him something that most of us in the PT field who watch the show already knew: it is recommended that you use a cane or crutch on the opposite side of the affected leg. Some people do feel more comfortable with the cane/crutch on the same side, but that would come from a long time of doing it incorrectly or needing to have your dominant hand free. House falls under the former of the two, plus his general disdain to listening to anyone elses advice.

I of course would recommend going with the PT recommendations... but Dr. House shortly after his visit with the PT ignores her advice and his shoulder starts to hurt again. Will he ever stop being ornery?
