House treats a man rendered mute after knee surgery. House correctly identifies it as a psychological/minor physical issue and "cures" him with a surreptitious Botox injection to the throat. Why It Is Highly Rated (8.5/10 on IMDb)

Because active bulimia often disqualifies patients from transplant lists, House knowingly lies to the committee. He even manipulates Wilson into assisting, leading to the famous quote: "Our friendship is an ethical responsibility" .

Billionaire Edward Vogler (Chi McBride) becomes Chairman of the Board after a $100 million donation. He immediately targets House’s expensive, unconventional department for elimination.
