The Quad Cane
Item: Quad Cane Episodes: 2 (so far)	Aluminum cane with quad base Offset, padded handle Shaft is height-adjustable The quad base and offset handle are both designed with stability in mind This cane is recommended only for people who have extreme difficulty walking due to weakness and poor balance. For someone who moves quickly, as House does, the quad base carries a high risk of tripping the user. It is therefore impractical and even potentially dangerous for him to be using it. House absolutely despises these canes and uses them only as a last resort or when forced
First Appearance: Whack-A-Mole [S03-E08]	Cane #3 has been confiscated by a physical therapist treating House's sore shoulder. She has given him the Quad Cane and forced him to use it on the left side. While it is generally recommended that a cane is used in the hand opposite the injured leg, personal preference varies, and House prefers it on the right. He spots a hospital visitor with what will soon be Cane #4 and trades canes before the man really has a chance to argue.
Second Appearance: Family [S03-E21]	Cane #4 has been destroyed by Hector, Wilson's old dog. House has picked up a quad cane from somewhere in the hospital to use until he gets a chance to buy Cane #5 just a few scenes later.
Next Appearance: ???	For House's sake, we can only hope that the Quad Cane will not come back.
