Well, after ten years going fandom-free, I've fallen off the RL wagon courtesy of a certain pill-popping diagnostician and his wonder boy oncologist side kick. Not to quote House quoting Jack Bauer or anything, but I guess "I need the drugs!" ;) Hope you enjoy the result.

P.S: I don't get much time to read as well as write, but I'd welcome recommendations. Also, if the link doesn't work/I've screwed up somehow, please let me know. It's been a looong time since I used LJ and I'm linking to a newly created fiction journal to keep some of my RL friends out of the loop. Thanks!
SELECTIVE AMNESIA.Author: Storm
Cast: House/Wilson (established relationship), Cuddy, Cameron, Foreman, Chase, Thirteen, Taub, Kutner, Stacy, Mark and others.
Rating: Adult.
Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Greg House. And everyone. Probably including his creators. And theirs.
Summary: When two related oncology patients die after a series of medical screw-ups, the family hold Dr. Wilson accountable – in more ways than one. While the medical malpractice machinery whirs into action, some of the relations mete out a rougher kind of justice that results in the doctor becoming the patient. But who really gets hurt in the assault and exactly how much is Wilson at fault? As the law and the hospital go head to head, Dr. House turns his notorious diagnostic skills on the crime scene and the culprits. The more he proves his own theory – that everybody lies – the more it becomes critical that he make his own brand of medical malpractice count as admissible evidence in court. Otherwise, PPTH's Boy Wonder Oncologist is going to wind up not only in a hospital bed, but in a jail cell. The trouble is, whilst House plays private eye, Wilson begins to wonder if it might not be better for the physician to tend to himself.
Warnings: I don't like warnings; they give the game away.
However. Includes a serious assault, discussions of rape and a patient suicide. Also – by necessity – includes some original characters.
Notes: 1) This is set around season five. Amber is dead; Kutner isn't (yet) and House is as sane as he ever gets. 2) If anyone can oblige, I'm looking for a beta who can manage a reasonably fast turn-around and ideally someone who would be willing/able to have their brain picked for medical and/or legal knowledge.
Seriously, I need a consult. New patient with severe stick-up-his-arse psychosis about his wife and daughter trying out the latest fashion in pine boxes and violent tendencies towards oncologists. I'm prescribing a bullet to the back of the skull, what do you think?
