About This Quote

We are a motley bunch. But we more than make up for it with tenacity." ~ Ralston to Simon. This is a quote from an episode of House. The quote above is from the episode of the TV show "House". In this episode, House and his team discover an unusual disease in a young woman named Olivia.

Olivia has a rare bone marrow disorder and the doctors struggle to find the cause of her illness. The disease is so rare that no one in medical history has ever seen it before. Additionally, it's difficult to treat because there is no known cure.

A new drug is developed but it doesn't work for Olivia. The only thing that works is bone marrow transplantation, but Olivia has no bone marrow available to donate to her own body. House and his team come up with a plan that involves using Olivia's stem cells to save someone else's life.

The transfer happens, but unfortunately, the patient dies after being left on their own for too long. The patient's husband asks House if there was anything else he could have done, but House replies by saying "Yes." He replies in this quote because he didn't have any other options available to him because the procedure used in this procedure was so new that no one ever thought about trying it on someone with Olivia's disease. House spoke about the success of the procedure by saying "We are a motley bunch."
