Spoiler & speculation for House next week

[deelaundry]

Speculation for ep 5-10 and after: I think Wilson is going to undergo Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) to save the POTW. "The donor's liver will regenerate approaching 100% function within 4–6 weeks and will almost reach full volumetric size with recapitulation of the normal structure soon thereafter," says Wikipedia, so the House team will use the six-week hiatus to be able to totally skip the "Wilson recovering" stage and the first ep in January will have him back to normal (or almost normal).

And for those concerned that RSL might use this to seek a permanent path back to full-time Broadway: "Death after LDLT has been reported at 0% (Japan), 0.3% (USA) and <1% (Europe), with risks likely to improve further as surgeons gain more experience in this procedure."

Your thoughts?

In unrelated news, who's going to buy Wilson the Mangroomer for Xmas?

Hee well I assumed it was the liver right off as well, because y'know, if it was a kidney, there's dialysis, and there aren't a lot of organs a live donor could give that couldn't be compensated by a machine, at least for a while.

ALSO I ASSUMED RIGHT OFF THAT THIS IS WILSON'S ~SPECIAL~ COLLEGE FRIEND AND PRACTICALLY HAVE THE FIC ALREADY WRITTEN ;D

But, ouch. I hope so much that he doesn't have to go through another it's-impossible-to-save-this-person-you-care-about thing. *But* I mean with spoilers for the next ep after this...:(

I'm trying to think if they've ever shown time passing from the winter hiatus before this....doesn't it usually sort of pick up where it left off? IDK.

<3 YOU <3

I'm good. I should do an update post :) I'm planning on doing a major domestic fic-drop this week sometime though ;)

w00t for domestic fic! ♥ ♥ ♥

I was noodling around with something in the MFS-verse but never finished it.

I can't recall if they've elapsed time or not in winter hiatus, but then again I think this is the longest winter hiatus they've had.
