HOUSE AND HIS TEAM RESORT TO UNUSUAL DIAGNOSTIC METHODS TO TREAT A YOUNG MAN WITH EXTREMELY SEVERE BURNS AND HOUSE STRIKES BACK AT A FORMER MED SCHOOL COLLEAGUE ON "HOUSE" TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, ON FOX

When a young man comes into the hospital severely burned, but with some unusual activity going on in his blood tests, House and his team have a difficult challenge.
