Family Practice

When Cuddy's mother Arlene is admitted to the hospital complaining of heart arrhythmia, House refuses to treat her, warning Cuddy that it won't end well. Cuddy insists, and House soon antagonizes Arlene so that she fires him. He continues to proscribe progressively more dangerous treatments behind the attending physician's back, putting Arlene's life at risk. Meanwhile, Taub is forced to take a part-time job with his brother-in-law and suffers a crisis of conscience.
