MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: Dr House has all the applicants in the classroom wearing numbered ID tags. When he calls out numbers to allow them to ask questions the numbers he calls do not match the numbers worn by those who respond.
FACT: In the hyperbaric chamber, the sprinklers go off after the fire is out.

TRIVIA

SPOILER: Final diagnosis: Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome.
On the blackboard behind house is the phrase "Tesla Was Robbed". Nikola Tesla was once offered $50,000 to create improvements for the Edison Company and after the work was finished he was not paid. Here there are two tie-ins, one is that the patient offered House $50,000 for her treatment, and two is a joke that most of the applicants for House's team are there working for nothing since chances are they'll be fired.
