Cameron on Drugs?

By the way, Chase also did have sex with Cameron when she was high (on pot?) - that probably has something to say about his personality. I mean, at least Cameron has an excuse...

What was Cameron's excuse? She had like 0% percent chance of getting HIV. Instead of taking up his offer to get a drink to get her mind off things, she refused. Instead, she STOLE drugs from the hospital, got high, called him under false pretenses, then cornered him and started making out with him. By the third time he told her to stop and think, she already had his shirt and jacket off. While they BOTH acted stupidly, it wouldn't be right to paint him a villain in this scenario.

If someone could find out which episode that was in and insert it in the article? Thanks.

• POT YOU FOOL!!! Learn your drugs

Cameron was never on pot. She was just high ^_^. J/K, she was on meth borrowed from a patient. It was in episode 2-29, Hunting. OrtonFan2006 07:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

The patient admitted to taking crystal meth and ecstasy. Later in the episode, when Chase offers the noticably off-colour Cameron some Ativan, she asks "why are you so calm?" to which Chase replies "not coming off meth helps."

By-the-bye, pot would really only explain Cameron's euphoria (but not the increased sexual urge or comedown), while the cognitive, sensory and hallucinogenic effects of LSD would not really explain anything. MrAngy 12:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

She was high on ecstasy. She might also have been high on meth, but it was definently x that Chase noticed. The gay guy had meth and ecstasy. Meth wouldn't have made her call up a coworker to have sex with, but x would.

Meth actually would make her want to call someone up for sex. Meth increases your sexual arousal and sexual stamina, that's what meth is famous for; wild and crazy hot meth-sex.Waapplepie 02:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Suspect diff

This diff caught my eye but I know absolutely nothing about the subject. Anyone care to take a look? Suede 15:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Query on age. Article says Chase is 26, but there is an episode where he claims to a young cancer patient to be thirty. ("You're 9. I'm 30.")

It can be assumed that Chase rounded up his age to make himself seem less obtainable to Andi. This is supported by the fact that they used Hugh Laurie's actual birthdate for House's. I would suspect the rest of the characters are the same.

It's more realistic that Chase is 30, not 26, to be in the position he is. Medical training can take up to a decade so 26 would be a bit young to have a specialist area and be a fellow. It's more likely House didn't know Chase's age and his correct age is 30, as he told Andi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.96.80 (talk) 18:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

moral classification and BDSM

This paragraph:

In one episode Chase reveals to a patient that he attended a seminary school, quoting 1 Peter 1:7. This aspect of his life was shown again in the episode Forever (2.22), when he said a prayer for the soul of a baby he failed to save. Although, Chase might not be overly moralistic, with one example being when he willingly had sex with his coworker, Allison Cameron, while she was high on methamphetamine. This is further compounded by the fact that he knew that she might have been infected with HIV (which had led to the drug use), but still slept with her. He admits to having done drugs before in the episode "Poison." It has also been alluded to that he has been into BDSM in the past. ( Love Hurts 1.20)

implies that people who practice BDSM "might not be overly moralistic", i.e. may be less moral than others based solely upon the fact that they practice BDSM. Source? In my opinion it's POV and should be removed, what do other people think?. Sdr 18:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

BDSM with a person who is not your spouse is considered immoral from a Roman Catholic perspective. (Within marriage it's not really good either, but things are a bit murkier there. I don't know of a set position the Church has on it within marriage, but basically I'd gather it'd be wrong if the spouses are not truly in mutual agreement on doing it or if it involves non-procreative acts) As he was going to be a priest I think it's fair to say BDSM is an example of how he rejects the moral views he once held. Just as his being snippy with the one nun and engaging in generalized casual sex does.--T. Anthony 15:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? I think its completely unfair to say he's amoral because he MIGHT have practiced BDSM and had practiced sex outside marraige. You can be catholic and not believe in everything the church believes in, so its ridiculous to say you know what moral views he held before. There are many, many, many people who are devout in their faith, but find exceptions in what their Church feels is right or wrong.Waapplepie 02:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

"You can be catholic and not believe in everything the church believes in" no, you can't. that's what's called by the church, a non practising catholic, which is as good as not being catholic. Consult with your priest.

Chase and obesity

It's been indicated in a few episodes that Chase is pretty negative on obese people. Part of that seemed to be a bit about Anti-Americanism, you Americans yotta yotta, and part something else. Was this mentioned? Because it states he's most concerned with kids, but from what I remember he was fairly insulting of child patients if they're fat.--T. Anthony 15:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if "insulted" is the correct word here. Chase did not directly insult the girl (i.e. calling her names or mocking her), he talked of obesity in general. In response to Dr. Foreman asking him if he has read the recent articles pertaining to obesity in America, his actual words were, "Yes, I have. What I haven't seen is a child eating an apple or riding a bike. You Americans can't even compete the rest of the world in basketball anymore, unless, of course, its the kind you play with a remote control on a big screen tv." Aside from saying the patient might be fat because, "She can't stop shoveling food down her throat," he didn't insult her. Ironically, it was Chase who led House to the conclusion the girl had Cushing's, proposing her obesity was a symptom (her obesity turned out to be caused by stunted growth). Waapplepie 09:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

In the episode Que Será Será (S3, ep6) Chase is extremely negative towards a "Suicidally obese" patient, refusing to believe that his condition is not weight-related pretty much to the point of yelling at the others when they considered non-diabetes/weight-related diagnoses. House actually gets so angry with him over this attitude that he tells him to leave. the man's condition turns out to be non-weight-related lung cancer (he was also a non-smoker).

Stealth Disco

When did stealth disco ever come up in House?

"However, by Season 2 the incident seems to have been put behind all members of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, and is not referenced again until mid-Season 3, where we also learn that Chase is a huge fan of stealth disco."

Seriously.... Wtf? --Watchreader 17:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I'll take that out. -71.107.7.249 05:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Drug Use

He admits to having done drugs before in the episode "Poison."

Chase never admitted to using drugs. When House told Chase the mother of the patient no longer wanted Chase caring for her son, citing that Chase admitted doing drugs, Chase denied this as fact, saying he was only trying to make the patient more comfortable in order to get information.

This is actually a consistant action of Chase's. According to Foreman, Chase often tells a story about getting his tonsils removed, getting to eat a lot of ice cream, and loving the hospital environment so much it made him want to become a doctor. This, according to Foreman, is completely untrue as Chase still has his tonsils; this story is told only to make the patient less anxious and scared. It is a trend that we usually only hear of Chase's past or personal life when he reveals the details to a patient in order to form a connection and gain their trust (e.g. revealing his past in the seminary to the nun in Damned If You Do, talking with Kayla in The Mistake about their alcoholic parents).Waapplepie 09:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Is intensive care a common practice where Chase is from?

(LadySatine 08:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC))

Yes, Intensive Care is a well established practice in Australia. Waapplepie 06:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Specialty

Since when was Chase a cardiologist? --211.30.223.58 04:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Australian has only recently started showing the third season, but there's been no reference to cardiology as Chase's specialty before. -- Lima Golf ^{Talk | Contributions} 09:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I've seen up to and including House Training with no mention of cardiology as a specialty. Unless someone can provide a reference from the unaired version of the Pilot - the only place I can think of that I haven't seen - it should be reverted to Intensive Care. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.203.222.177 (talk) 15:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

This probably comes from the initial draft of Chase's character, where Chase was also a 35 year old from America. Obviously not canon as we know it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.215.129.85 (talk) 06:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

Degree

The intro lists Robert Chase, M.D. However, as an Australian, he may have an MBBS instead. I've removed MD and replaced it with prefix Dr. -- Lima Golf ^{Talk | Contributions} 09:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC) --150.203.222.177 15:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Bio

"In the episode "Cursed," House speculated that his father's accent is "Czech with about 30 years Aussie,""

Chase Sr. is a very famous Dr., probably House had already heard of him. What's more, in season 1, House says that he hired Chase because his father "made a phonecall". House did not speculate about his accent. He obviously knew some things about Chase sr, including how he looked like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camilorojas (talk • contribs) 02:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Note: The merge suggestion was added by User:Eusebeus at 16:05 UTC on 30 March 2008.

Waiting for the reason(s) behind the merge proposal. - Dudesleeper / Talk 18:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

• Without an indication of the reason for the proposal, my initial inclination is to keep this as a standalone article. The List of House characters article is quite long already. Adding further details on the main characters would be a good case for splitting out separate articles. — ERcheck (talk) 18:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

M.D.

I'm reverting the character back to Robert Chase M.D. rather than Dr. Robert Chase, simply because at the very end of "Everybody Dies", the former is visible on the door of his new office. Wiki235 (talk) 11:05, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Obese hatred

"He also has a strong dislike of obese patients as is shown in "Heavy," where he believes that a morbidly obese girl's weight is her fault. Later, he is proven wrong when the team find a tumor on her pituitary gland that causes her inability to lose weight."

While it could be argued that the first sentence may warrant inclusion, the second is rather pointless. Approximately 10-50 theories are proven wrong in every single show. Theories of House, Chase, Cameron, Foreman, Taub, Kutner, blah blah blah. This line feels like it's saying "Chase hats fatties and thinks that's why they get sick, but he's wrong." Not to mention, in the episode "Que Sera, Sera", he showed no more prejudice towards the obese patient than House or Foreman. I'm removing the second line, and if you feel the need to do so, you can remove the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.140.159.217 (talk) 16:44, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
