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?

I noticed that too, and it really surprised me. I'm very curious now to see if they say how long he and Wilson have known each other -- if they were friends before the guy got leukemia.

My impression was that they didn't meet until Wilson treated him for leukemia, that the guy felt so grateful he decided Wilson was his friend and Wilson went with it. Of course I'm basing that on 60 seconds of video :) I hope they clarify it.
I did think how very Wilson it was that he wouldn't correct someone who called him Jim.
