POTW final diagnosis: Psittacosis
Other / clinic patient(s): Foreman has an African American patient with high blood pressure to whom he gives medication "targeted to African-Americans". The older man has heard of drugs that were given exclusively to blacks due to racism and he doesn't want to be experimented on so he comes back and gets House. After telling House he doesn't trust this new drug and won't take it, House gives him "the same medicine we give Republicans" except he gives him the medicine that is better for blacks. Foreman later gets upset that House lied to the patient.
