I was impressed how he could reel off the names and dates of his patients that died from less fatal cancers. Could this be a sore spot for him, or does he have bins of souvenirs hidden away in cabinets for all the patients he lost? ;-)
That really struck me too - the man must have had a *lot* of patients over the years, but remembers (and keeps sourvenirs from) the ones who got the short end of the odds - and then immediately assumes he's going to be one of those people (as it turns out of course he was right).
Maybe Wilson keeps his memories of his 'failures' much like House keeps that drawer of files of cases he couldn't solve (although Wilson probably cares more about the actual patients while House cares more about the puzzle).
