Did a building fall on your head or was it very minor?

Even considering circumstances, the extent of injury, period, is always luck. For example, someone could be walking on a sidewalk, slip on an icy patch, hit their head, and die. Another person could get into a horrible car accident but be lucky enough to be mostly undamaged and heal quickly with no real side effects.

Life is a weird thing. Like I said, just don't stretch the bounds of reality for your fic and you should be dandy. :)

That was kinda my circumstances. Only I was on a bike, and when I hit the ice, I hit the side of a truck.


But, yeah. I guess what I was looking for was "plausible" in a real life sense, rather than in a House sense.

Um, yeah, lol. House can get really ridiculous. This is completely real-life plausible, as long as the side effects don't come out of the blue. I'm thinking that they could have persisted for a long while but over time they are complicating things for him.

What you really need to think about is the extent of it, whether it's getting worse or if it's going away, whether or not it will go away on it's own, how it effects his life and how that ties into the plot of the story and creates interest, ect.

I don't think they'd be necessarily getting any worse; more that the persistence of migraines that have him hiding under his desk, and his mood swings are probably just getting annoying.
