What was the name of House’s former girlfriend who became a hospital lawyer?

House’s former girlfriend who became a hospital lawyer is Stacy Warner.

Stacy and House were together before the series began. Their relationship changed dramatically after House suffered the leg infarction that caused his chronic pain. Stacy authorized a risky procedure while House was incapacitated, and House later ended the relationship even though the treatment saved his leg from amputation.

Stacy returns to the story during the first season as a lawyer working at a hospital. Her reappearance forces House to confront their unresolved feelings and the resentment surrounding the medical decision. She is played by Sela Ward and appears in the episodes “Three Stories” and “Honeymoon.”

Stacy is easy to confuse with House’s later romantic relationships, especially Lisa Cuddy or Dominika Petrova. She is also not Amber Volakis, who was associated with Wilson and the diagnostic fellowship storyline. Her defining connection to House is their pre-series relationship and the operation involving his damaged leg.
