* [[I Can't Feel My Legs]]: Oh, {{spoiler|''Chase.'' He's getting better . . . a little.}}
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]▼
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: The homeless patient in the episode {{spoiler|"Fall from Grace"}} turns out to be a cannibalistic serial killer when his presence in the hospital got through to the FBI, but he remains on the loose. Those weren't animal bones he confessed to have eaten...▼
* [[I'm Not Afraid of You]]▼
* [[Idiot Ball]]: The reason that patients not hiding a [[Big Secret]] fail to provide critical information. A major attack of stupidity prevents them from realizing that a particular fact is relevant to their condition, despite the obvious connection, and being (repeatedly) asked about it by House or his team. Usual patient response, "I didn't think it was important/relevant." This is more common to the secondary clinic patients, than the patient of the week.
** House would argue that any patient willing to die to keep the [[Big Secret]] is holding onto the [[Idiot Ball]].

* [[Improbable Taxonomy Skills]]: Coupled with his implausible ''diagnostic'' skills, House is able to recognize things that entire teams of forensic pathologists couldn't, using either minute samples or none at all; the inevitable explanation is either convoluted and implausible, or else "they were looking in the wrong place."
