hey, this was really good! a nice storyline, with the medical work and the snarks all up to scale! the characters are written expertly. i really enjoyed this and am looking forward to more.
my favorite bits:

"Oh, right, I forgot I was talking to the poster boy for emotional maturity."

"And I forgot I was talking to the expert on relationships."

"Nice," said Wilson

and

"Well, of course there are some differences. Big ones, even--"

"I can think of at least two." House paused, considering. "Don't know I'd call them big, exactly, but..."

tee hee! i can so see House saying that!
