You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Whatever It Takes''' is the sixth episode of the fourth season of [[House (TV series)|House]] and the seventy-sixth episode overall, which aired on November 6, 2007.

==Plot==
[[drag racing|Drag racer]] Casey Alfonso experiences blurred vision and distorted hearing following a race. [[Gregory House|House]] takes the case, hoping that by solving it, he will be able to test drive a dragster. When an agent from the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] recruits House to help diagnose a mortally ill agent named "John", House puts Foreman in charge of the fellowship candidates and the Alfonso case.

At a CIA hospital, House meets Dr. Samira Terzi, a staff doctor for the CIA, and [[immunologist]] Dr. Sidney Curtis from the [[Mayo Clinic]], also brought in to consult. The only information Terzi gives to both doctors is that John was stationed in [[Bolivia]] during most of the year and liked to eat [[chestnut]]s. When John becomes unresponsive and almost comatose, House suspects [[Waldenström macroglobulinemia|Waldenström's]] and John is treated with [[plasmapheresis]] and [[chemotherapy]]. Unfortunately, his hair falls out too quickly to be a side effect of the chemotherapy, and House believes John was the target of an assassination attempt.

Back at Princeton-Plainsboro, Foreman believes his patient has [[multiple sclerosis]] and begins the treatment of [[interferon]], until Casey develops leg paralysis, due to [[Chris Taub]] and [[List of House characters#Amber Volakis|Amber]] putting her on [[steroids]] at the same time. [[List of House characters#Travis Brennan|Brennan]] strongly feels it is [[poliomyelitis|polio]], but his suggestion is immediately turned down, until Brennan returns with positive test results for the condition. Brennan suggests a treatment of [[vitamin C]], which he believes can destroy the polio virus and restore Casey's use of her legs.

Curtis blasts House for misdiagnosing John, and due to the bone marrow damage caused by the radiation sickness, he does not have long to live. While House is sitting at his bedside, John tells him of his time in Bolivia, but House realizes John was actually in [[Brazil]]. This leads House to infer that, rather than [[chestnut]]s, John had eaten large quantities of [[Brazil nut]]s (called "castanhas-do-Pará", literally "chestnuts of [[Pará]]" in [[Brazilian Portuguese]]), which naturally contain a high level of [[selenium]]. House informs Terzi and puts John in [[chelation therapy]]; although the agent does not see why House is angry if the treatment is successful even with imprecise information.

Back at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, Foreman shows House the inconsistencies involving Casey, and House suggests her symptoms fit either because she has polio, or because she actually had heat stroke, but someone poisoned her with [[thallium]]. The fault lies on Brennan, who admits to the scam, saying it was necessary to prove the vitamin C treatment was reliable. House does not fire Brennan because he did what he believed, but he tells him to quit instead. After Brennan's quick exit, Foreman angrily protests that House is going to let him get away with deliberately poisoning a patient. House counters by saying he just wanted Brennan out of the room, stating he is ethically insane, while notifying Foreman to call the authorities.
