INT. HOSPITAL PROCEDURE ROOM - DAY

Dr. Gregory House, known for his sharp wit and direct approach, stands beside his team, Dr. Eric Foreman and Dr. Robert Chase. Today, though, his demeanor is calm and gentle. House carefully sanitizes his hands, moving with an unusual sense of care. Across from him, a young woman lies on the exam table, visibly nervous, her hands fidgeting.

Dr. House: Hey, I know this can feel scary. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way, okay?

The patient glances up, managing a small smile. Foreman nods to her, his expression equally reassuring, while Chase offers a kind smile.

Dr. Chase: We’re all here with you. You’re in good hands.

House slips on his gloves, giving her one last gentle nod.

Dr. House: All right. Let’s take good care of you.
