Season 2 / Episode 16: - Safe

Dr. Gregory House: [Snatching the marker back from Foreman who was writing on the board] Sorry, there's a reason they call it the *white* board. It's not my rule. What ties both of these conditions together?
Dr. Eric Foreman: [the others can't come up with anything that ties the two conditions together] OK, we can all stare at each other or we can investigate what caused the heart failure. Just the heart failure. You wanna give me that *black* marker?

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Dr. Chase is trying to intubate a patient when having a glove on his right hand alone. Seconds earlier he had gloves on both his hands, as well as just seconds after.
CHAR: Dr. Foreman explains to the patient's parents that when blood is spun in a centrifuge, the white blood cells, being heaviest, migrate to the bottom of the tube, followed by red cells, platelets, and plasma, in that order. In fact, the red cells are heaviest and fill the bottom of the tube, followed by white cells and platelets (more or less together), and plasma.
