Henry Arrington, a 65 year old retiree with a history of acid reflux, presented at the emergency room accompanied by his 20 year old daughter after suffering an absence seizure. He was examined by Eric Foreman, who admitted him. Dr. House was assigned as his attending physician when the cause of the seizure was not immediately apparent. However, the myocarditis was irreversible and the patient was soon suffering from congestive heart failure. The only available treatment was a heart transplant, but the transplant committee refused because of the patient's age.
