084. Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

And then there was one blind man. Circumstances beyond my means or understanding have deprived a sound, logical medical investigation. Or as I like to say--got the easy way out. Heartwarming, wonderful in that way that Hallmark hopes to mimic every time, isn't it?

There's work still to be done. I haven't seen Dr. Deus Ex Machina around here to pick up his shift everywhere else.

Say Dr. Jimmy, (I wasn't aware that was your official moniker) I can't help but notice it looks like you're trying to get an Eden of your own. The least she could do is pick up an accent. I guess that's what the button nose is for. Right?

Observations:
fundoscopy at a typical level
visualization + dreaming
Optokinetic nystagmus -> no
frequent seizuring -> no

Looks like cortical blindness. Boring.

Doctor Wilson sounded too corporate. He didn't tell you about his struggle with 'the man'?

Angelic onset cortical blindness is a new one.

Dr. Deus Ex Machina probably went to play golf before checking the rest of his patients.

At least he leaves his pager on. The better to rush in at a moment's notice.

You haven't answered the question: can you fix it, Doc?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I can diagnose and recommend treatment. People aren't waterheaters.

...That doesn't sound heartwarming at all.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

My sentiments exactly.

What the fuck does "an Eden of his very own" mean?

An underage assistant slash accomplice. I don't think she cooks.

I assume it is deprived of sound, logical, medical investigation because the blindness was caused by witnessing a heavenly host?

Alleged heavenly host until proven otherwise.

You must be Dr. House.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I must be, there aren't that many doctors.

She asked for advice. And Eden is, in fact, a person, not a role.

[Clinic Filter; 2/3 I lied]

So... is the occipital cortex damaged? It's been a while since I reviewed the adverse effects of looking at a supernatural being's soul.

[dr_conscience]

And don't call me Dr. Jimmy.

Angels.

Really?

You're going to have to find out.

He's probably too busy watching sparrows and angels dancing on pins.

Has anyone talked to or seen the angel post the curse?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Or golfing.

The alleged angel is under scrutiny.

[innovatorgps.livejournal.com]

Dr. House, really...

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Really what?

[backseatangel.livejournal.com]

You're one of those doctors that tries to rationalize everything, aren't you?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

A doctor? Be rational? I must be doing it wrong then.
