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

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!

Hi! *waves*

1. The lack of mention of Wilson's whereabouts during the infarction is frustrating! Wilson does comment in "Need to Know" about being there when Stacy left ("Wilson: The last time you left, I was the one stuck picking up the pieces.") but we don't know how soon after the infarction she left.

2. They have never said the number of years. In "Birthmarks" they said House and Wilson met when Wilson had just gotten out of med school.

I put their meeting at being around 1992 or 1993. But that's just my interpretation of ambiguous information.

Wilson mentions that House has lived in his apartment for 15 years, which makes me think that he's been around for at least that long.

Wilson also knew about House's patient Esther Doyle, which was 12 years prior to the episode it was mentioned in, which also leads me to think they'd known each other at least that long.

1) No, we've never heard of where he was. Maybe he was away, like on a honeymoon. We do know he tells Stacy he was there to pick up the pieces when Stacy left, which was shortly after the infarction, so he was definitely around at that time to help House.

2) It was just revealed in s. 5 ep 4, Birthmarks. Do you want to be spoiled? :P

Loads of good points already made.

Re 2, I have spent far too much of my life contemplating the House/Wilson timeline, my thoughts are here (http://hwshipper.livejournal.com/22089.html) if you're interested :)

Also to answer question one, in Detox from Season 1 at the end when House admits to being an addict, Wilson talks about how much he changed, and he said that the change wasn't because of the pain after the infarction, but because of the pills.

So it dosn't exactly help with where Wilson was during the infarction but it definitely proves that Wilson knew House very well from before it happened, which fits in with the Birthmarks timeline, and I would asssume he was around during the infarction and aftermath. I wish they told us more though.

And in I believe Cuddy has mentioned House being around PPTH for like 8 yrs. I believe that was around like Season 1 or 2. Can't remember which eppy though.
