What was the title of House M.D.'s 2005 episode about three patients with leg pain?

“Three Stories” was House M.D.'s 2005 episode about three patients with leg pain.

The episode is structured as a lecture in which House presents three apparently separate diagnostic cases to medical students. The stories gradually reveal connections to House's own past, including the leg infarction that caused his chronic pain and disability. Its non-linear structure makes the audience reconsider which patient details are literal, remembered, or part of House's teaching strategy.

“Three Stories” was written by David Shore and directed by Paris Barclay. It won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, making Shore the winner in that category for the episode. It is often remembered as one of the series' most acclaimed installments. The title can be confused with “One Day, One Room,” another notable House episode, but the three-case lecture format belongs specifically to “Three Stories.”
