Season 3, Episode 4-Insensitive.
If toi have the episode video, scroll the seek bar to 10 minutes and 35 seconds. Pay attention to when toi get to 11 minutes and 08 seconds. Cameron says, "We got her temperature down below boiling, could be infection". In the scene before, she declares that that girl's temperature was 105. Obviously, she meant 105 degrees F. And then, she claims that she got it down below BOILING (supposedly, boiling point of water), which is 100 degrees C. How could the makes of the montrer could have made such an error. In the world of showbiz, this might just be a trivia but in the scientific world, it's ridiculously ignominious. I have tonnes of respect for the makers of house, esp, the script writers but something like this is unforgivable. Is anyone with me on this? ou am I just overreacting? Response appreciated!!

I think the word "boiling" was some kind of a metaphor for really hot, I don't think Cameron meant it as in the water boiling point.

Ummm... She's just exaggerating. I mean, 105 is still abnormally high. toi could get brain damage. If her temperature was boiling, she'd be dead. I noticed it too in that episode but dismissed it for this reason.
