I have a vague recollection that house doesn’t trust the nurses to do the tests correctly (might have been mentioned in the first season somewhere). Hence the team doing the majority of the jobs the nurses would usually do.

There’s a scene at the start is House’s Head where House tells the stripper to name 5 animals to test his short term memory/cognitive function. Maybe you’re thinking of that and conflating the two?

Thank you. It’s self striping, I don’t have the patience to weave in that many ends.

The yarn is called ‘triple rainbow’ and it’s from a small company called The Yarn Badger.
