Fetal Position is a third-season House episode that first aired on April 3, 2007. House treats a famous forty-two-year-old photographer who suffers a stroke in the middle of her pregnancy. House quickly diagnoses what’s wrong but it appears the only way to save the patient is to terminate the pregnancy. However, when the patient presses for another answer, Cuddy throws House off the case and starts treatments so dangerous that even House‘s team realizes House wouldn‘t try the same thing no matter what the stakes. Even Wilson fails to get Cuddy to play it safe. However, when Cuddy must turn back to House for help and with an even crazier idea proposed by Chase, they come up with a “Hail Mary” that could almost certainly result in the death of both the patient and her unborn son.
