responses to the socratic method

-skeptical--> medicine, how much we actually know about our own bodies
-sympathetic--> towards the boy and his mum, boy didn't experience 'normal' teenage life (camera shots create a sense of vulnerability)
-confused--> episode takes you on a journey of questioning (socratic method) answer is always so simple
-annoyed--> at House: he plays the hero but doesn't seem to celebrate his birthday and other happy 'human' occasions, annoyed at mother for calling authorities even though it was for the sons best interest( she wants to protect him and herself)
-intrigued--> through medical shots, glamourises everyday medical life and makes it seem more interesting
-hope--> restoring faith in medicine, House protects mum by playing villain. "that all important human connection, I thought I would give it a whirl"-House
