Canon Question: Wilson during infarction & length of time known eachother

[photoash.livejournal.com]

Two quick questions based on the TV episodes:

1. Are there any clues or information on where Wilson was while House had the infarction and was in the hospital? (Does even Wilson helping him through rehab etc get mentioned?) I just re-watched 3 stories last night but didn't see any mention there.

2. Has it ever been said how long House and Wilson have known each other?

Thank you :) I'm a new fan and really appreciate the help in advance!

Just FYI - 24 would be young for getting out of med school. Typical ages in the US are 18 graduating high school, 22 graduating college, 26 or older graduating med school (it's a four-year program, and some people don't go straight from college to med school but some do).

Then again my good friend finished high school at 17 (skipped a grade in elementary school) and college at 20 (got a full year's credit for AP courses taken in high school) without being a super-genius, so I guess 24 isn't too crazy.

And we know how smart Wilson is, just seeing how he's very young for a department head :P

But yeah, I know it's a bit young, but I did try to look it up on the webz and it didn't seem totally unlikely.

I was asking questions because I was contemplating possibly writing a fanfic >_>

I'm always interested in the details that don't get shared and one of my questions after that episode was what really did happen after that convention. I mean I don't see House as a keeping in touch kind of guy and Wilson just had divorce papers served on him I don't see him rushing out to be social and trying to make friends with the dude who bailed him out of jail O_o

I just wonder how they met back up and became friends... Do we know from canon how long Wilson worked at PPTH? (since I guess you can assume house has up to 15 years working there if he's had his apartment that long or at least in the area)

House is an all or nothing kind of guy. Wilson obviously caught his interest because he was so damn cute at that age!, so House did what he does, jumped on the guy in the YOU'RE MINE NOW kind of way, never to let go. Wilson wasn't the aggressor, House was. Which actually fits perfectly with what Bonnie tells House (and us), that Wilson didn't initiate the relationship, she did. Probably all the women did. Wilson just gets caught up and tags along. So yeah, I think House pretty much grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away :P

There is no indication that they were apart after that. We don't know how long Wilson has been working at PPTH, but for a very long time, it seems. Maybe so far as to when the case with Esther took place, which means he'd have to have started work immediately at PPTH.

ah but there is no indication that they were inseparably together since then either :) it's an interesting hole that people can write if they chose to.

Thanks for sharing your ideas on what happened :)

If it serves your fic better that they were apart for a while, then I'm all for artistic freedom ;)

24 is totally possible -- I once worked out that if I were to go into medical school, I'd graduate 23-24.
