Huh, I didn't think all three of them represented House when he was a patient - just the one that they initially thought was a drug addict. I thought the other two were different stories (dog bite and cancer victim). But, I could be wrong. Anyway, I though it was a pretty orginal way to to tell the story and some cool insight into his character. I was initially confused, though, since they promos had all hyped the episode as being about the Sela Ward character.
