I'm thinking of writing a fic that's been haunting me for the past few days now, but the thing is that I need some help to get me started~

Warning: Spoilers for Season 5 Episode 24: Both Side Now



I was wondering, what with this years EPIC finale, if House were to quit Vicodin (also, do you think that's even possible), what other drugs would they probably put him on? Do you think he could ever live a life without drugs? : \

About how long would he probably have to stay in a psychistric hospital? Under what terms would they finally release him?

And does anyone know the medical name for "Truth Serum"? Actually TBH (I feel kind of silly for asking this) is truth serum even real?





Any help would be awesome! *runs away*

I was thinking of other pain-management alternatives, although PT might help to a point it can't cure his pain. Acupuncture, Heat, Muscle-pain relievers like ibulive could have some effect and the resident expert (who I've just been grilling over breakfast) suggests a TENS machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tens_machine which is a device that sends minute electrical currents into the painful area...I think we've got one somewhere.

A TENS machine? Cool! So, he'd obviously need help when applying this machine to himself, right?

I don't think, considering the site of his pain, he'd need much assitance :P though I can see why that would be a useful plot device and see no reason why you couldn't take some artistic licence with it.

So, from what I've gathered, it kind of works like a defibrilator....right.

Kind of..on a smaller scale. I haven't one in front of me to be 100% (which is actually really annoying as I foolishly turned down a loan of one of my Aunties' as I've strained my back) but basically there's like little pads that stick onto your skin and settings...we have two one goes from 1-5 another from 1-10 and then it makes a kind of clicking noise and then sends little shocks in the area (some of them make a ping! noise as they do). The resident expert told me that they come with a booklet showing you how to place things safely generally just above and either-side of the affected area.
