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?

The song is awesome. :D

Matching apparently depends on the organ type. It seems that liver requires only a blood-type match: http://www.unos.org/PoliciesandBylaws2/policies/pdfs/policy_8.pdf

I hate that song, and George Michael songs in general, and unless someone disproves it I am going to fanwank that so does Wilson. And that House knows this, which is why he chose that particular song, for maximum annoyance.

I think it is the 6:33 AM that is the maximum annoyance, not the song itself. Last season we had a "Cuddy's Serenade" (in the simchat bat episode); I like "Wilson's Serenade" much better. :DDD
