One involves a woman hospitalized with neurological symptoms, and the second involved House and Cuddy stranded on a plane with a possible meningitis epidemic. Spoilers follow, so make sure you watch the episode first… The first story concerns a 58 year-old woman who presents to the clinic after suffering blurry vision and a fainting spell. Her medical history is negative, except for a recent trip to Caracas where she went a little wild and indulged in drugs, sex, and — one presumes — rock and roll.
