I actually enjoyed this episode, the first one this season that I didn't tun the sound down at all. I thought the POTW story was interesting, and I was sure that the "cute" Wilson scenes would be cringeworthy, but they weren't at all, they were great. And I really liked AT in this episode, I almost remembered why I thought she was so great in Joan of Arcadia.

I was actually surprised that the father died, and the House-puts-himself-in danger-again was not awful, it was actually House-like. Oh yeah, I also really liked the call girl translator a lot.

An actual not boring episode, definitely a surprise.

That's what I've been saying but it seems like the majority here think it sucked.

Yeah,I'm kind of surprised. To me it was almost like an old school episode, I thought it all was interesting, and it was the first one in a long, long time that I just watched without only waiting for Wilson while cringing through all the rest of it.

It's not surprising, actually. The smallpox vaccine is not made from smallpox virus, but rather live vaccinia virus, which itself can cause nasty reactions and disease in a fair number of groups, including immunocompromised patients, pregnant women and those with chronic skin conditions like eczema.
