Awww...cute and clever, and still in character, which is really impressive! I also loved all the medical jargon; it made the whole thing much that much spiffier. *g*

I'm so glad you liked it. I'm especially glad you enjoyed the medicalese. It's how I imagine House and Wilson would speak in these types of situations, but worry about making it too clinical. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate the feedback. :)

when I was a kid they had this huge 'hugs not drugs' campaign. I remember having a t-shirt. I still ended up trying drugs anyway.

Good story.

[med_anomaly]

Ha, I didn't realize they had a campaign like that. When I was growing up it was all about the "Just say No" campaign and then the whole anti-drug thing. Those didn't really work so well either ;).
Glad you liked the story. Thanks for reading and reviewing.:)

this was a great story.

you made anemia as exiting as a brain damage, and i mean it in a good way!:)
there is obvious angst when it comes to wilson or house loosing their heads, so i wondered what could possibly cause one to be emotional when it came to anemia. (i could only think of one less stimulating situation --- paper cut -- could be considered anemia if you get like 1000 of them)

but you made it into a very nice flowing, interest-grabbing-and-keeping story. not to mention the sweet ending and wonderful banter.

Thanks so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that I could change your mind about anemia being boring. I have to admit, I just might have to write a fic using paper cut as a prompt now. It seems like a good challenge. We'll see. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate the feedback. :)

Well, your review convinced me to give a story about a paper cut a shot (posted to sick!House). Hope the result makes them seem a little less boring.

lovely, sweet story. i loved this insight into house's character, particularly this:

The dots were not hard to connect. Wilson wondered how much of the hostility House was radiating at the moment was aimed at his inability to connect them without making House spell it out for him. How much of his disdain for sharing was because he felt people should already know things without him having to say them? After all, House rarely needed anyone to lay the dots out for him.

[med_anomaly]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it. I definitely think that at least part of House's unwillingness to share things about himself is because he intuitively picks up on so much from others, and figures they should be able to do the same. Thanks for reading and reviewing. :)

Excellent! I'm so impressed that you managed to get detail, medical stuff and really good characterisations in a short story. I usually like a good long story, but this left me feeling completely satisfied. Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I definitely know what you mean about enjoying the nice long stories you can really sink your teeth into, so I'm glad this was able to satisfy. Thanks for reading and reviewing. :)
