Music: One of the songs playing while Cameron, Chase, and Foreman are at the bar is "You Better Stop" by Robert L. Wyckoff. The song playing in the restaurant with the new drug rep is "I Never Saw It Coming" by Windy Wagner. (edit) Executive Producer Bryan Singer, director of the first two sci-fi X-Men movies, has a cameo role in this episode. (edit)

Lola: You live alone?
House: You writing a book?
Lola: I made it a question just 'cause it's more polite. (edit) House: Call me when he's stable—or dead. (edit) Dr. Cameron: His heart rate is 130 and rising like a Randy Johnson line drive.
House: 'A' for effort. (edit) Lola: You're not gonna tell me it's a bad idea? Why give a kidney to someone who might not be able to use it?
House: Not my area. That is, however, my chair. (edit) Dr. Cameron: I was the first person (House) ran into. He just asked me.
Dr. Chase: Yeah, like a date.
Dr. Cameron: Exactly. Except for the “date” part. (edit)

Trivia: When Warner Fitch visits Hank in the hospital, the balloons are for a bat mitzvah, not "get well" balloons. (edit) In the opening scene Hank breaks his right upper arm, but the X-ray shows a broken left upper arm. (edit) During the scene where Dr. Chase and Dr. Cameron are out having a drink, Cameron picks up Dr. Foreman's cell phone. Before she does she takes a drink of her soda. This drink drops the level of drink to half full. When Foreman returns a few seconds later she suddenly has a glass that is 3/4 full. There was no time for anyone to give her a refill.
(edit) They can't seem to decide what Hank's last name is. His baseball card says "Wiggen," but later House says, "Hank Wiggens stole your pills." (edit)

House: The groupies sleep with the roadies to get to Mick.
Referencing Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger (born 26 July 1943). He is most famous for being the lead singer and co-founder (with guitarist Brian Jones) of the British rock and roll band "The Rolling Stones". House also made a reference to "The Stones" in the pilot episode. (edit) House: And by better half, of course, I mean the one who struck out Sammy Sosa on three pitches and talks a lot less.
Sammy Sosa is a popular baseball player and outfielder in the MLB, known for his heavy home-run hitting (and corked bats). He formerly played for the Chicago Cubs, and now plays for the Baltimore Orioles. (edit) House: I'm Dr. House, and today is the coolest day of my life!
A nod to fellow FOX show 24, where the lead character said, "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life," to open up each episode of the first season. (edit)
