What was the title of House M.D.’s Emmy-winning episode written by David Shore?

“Three Stories” was the House M.D. episode written by David Shore that won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.

The episode aired during the first season in 2005. Its unusual structure follows House teaching medical students while presenting three patient cases. The stories gradually reveal details about House’s own painful medical history and the origin of his chronic leg injury.

“Three Stories” was praised for combining medical puzzles with nonlinear storytelling and character development. It also helped establish that House’s diagnostic brilliance was connected to personal experience rather than being only a weekly procedural device.

The episode title can be confused with other House episodes that use numbers or multi-part structures. “Three Stories” is the specific first-season episode associated with Shore’s Emmy win for writing.
