I was hoping that people would be somewhat reassured by the pg-13 rating :-)

So was Canon!House wrong in his belief that a committed relationship would make him a lesser doctor? :)

LOL - yes, it appears so :) I wonder why House didn't think his relationship with Stacy made him a crappy doctor? And was he a worse doctor before the infarction?? This whole thing about 'I need to be miserable to be a great doctor' just makes me grrrr.....
