House can be called many names, but I would call him clever, I mean of all names. In the most recente episode, (Last Resort), a patient takes House, Thirteen, and a few patients hostage in order to try and get an almost immeadiate diagnosis.
At one point in the show, the patient needs to get an MRI. However, the patient does not want to put down his gun. The gun blurred up the MRI, so House said,"Shoot me, o get your diagnosis."
The patient, obviously wanting to see what's wrong, gave House the gun.
After the MRI, House was unable to figure out what was wrong with the man, (He saw nothing on the MRI,) so he gave the gun back to the patient. I'm not going to spoil the rest of the episode, but House is Clever. END O STORY-O.
