Good point. It was a stupid thing to do, done by someone high and drunk not really caring if he lived or died. That would be terrifying because someone like that is so unpredictable that there's no anticipating danger and trying to prevent it from happening. If I were Wilson I'd be jumping with every phone call or knock/ ringing doorbell wondering if this was the call from the police or the hospital or even the morgue. Wilson is a processor so that means he would be replaying every worry and concern over and over again.
And when Wilson tried not to worry earlier in the episode ("It's understandable") House tightened the screws ("You're trying to convince yourself you're over-reacting" -- thereby implying to Wilson that Wilson wasn't over-reacting).
How did Cuddy put it? When you love someone, you take on their pain. We've seen that when things hit a crisis point, House will do that for Wilson (although he won't for Cuddy). But on a day-to-day basis it's Wilson taking House's pain, and House laughing at him/mocking him/punishing him for doing so.
House's need to be right, his need to have the world be as he deigns it, is so exhausting.
