house

usually i don't watch 'house' because, frankly, it scares me.  i mean the casual way the doctor comes up with diagnosis and treatment whilst picking his nose.  but, this episode started while i was cooking dinner (yes another scary thing) and anyways - it caught my attention because this guy was playing the waldstein - but he suddenly had these neurological problems...or so i thought - and i never got to see what happened.  did anyone watch this episode?  i want to  know what was the problem and how they fixed him.

I watched it, it was an auto-immune disease, but in the end it also came out the only reason he played the piano was because his right brain-half was screwed up. His right brain-half was removed, so he lost his piano skills, but he wasn't a mental retard anymore (I don't know if you have seen how the pianist behaved?).

If you let remove your right half of the brain, you don't feel the need to practise piano anymore?

Cool  ;D
If it doesn't work - try something different!

yikes - a colonoscopy all for having trouble playing the piano?  this is getting worse by the minute.  i thought it was bad enough when he had to play the piano on his leg.

That's what you would call a performance BRAIN fart.  ;)
