The latest estimate is 46,000 homeless people in the city of Los Angeles. Nearly 30% of the people in the U.S. who experienced homelessness for at least one night in January 2023 were in California, according to a federal point-in-time count released in December. On the ledge of a concrete channel, he has built a temporary sanctuary at a time when so many throughout the region are struggling to get by. Roughly four in 10 renters in Los Angeles County live in fear of becoming homeless, according to a recent study from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs. And it just became harder and harder to pay for a room to live in,” Augusto said in Spanish while standing in the concrete channel, which carries runoff through the Highland Park neighborhood. Augusto, 43, arrived in Los Angeles roughly 20 years ago from Guatemala.

Her sexuality, often the butt of House's jokes and sexual innuendos, remains unclear until the episode "Lucky Thirteen". While Thirteen's name was originally intended to be revealed during the story arc, the production team decided against doing so. Wilde describes Thirteen as a "big bowl of secrets," one such being the possibility of the character having Huntington's disease, in stark comparison to her openness. Thirteen has often been compared with Allison Cameron, the previous female diagnostician, often negatively, even by Cameron's actor, Jennifer Morrison.
Foreman
Thirteen arrives and finds the patient's wife outside his room. However, she doesn't want to see him unless she and their sons mean more to him than other people do. Thirteen then goes to see Benjamin to ask about the kidney. She goes to leave, but Benjamin says he will give her the other kidney. She reminds him he will die, but he says he can go on dialysis and save even more lives when he dies and donates his other organs. The reaction to the hyperbaric chamber seems to rule out carbon monoxide, but Thirteen wants to test the assistant and patient for infections because the assistant seemed to be in a daze.

However, when Thirteen starts being late for her appointments, Foreman breaks in to her apartment to determine if her self-destructive behavior has started again. Instead, he finds that Thirteen has been following the instructions he gave her to the letter. When she returns, he confronts her and she admits she's late for appointments to avoid the other patients whose symptoms remind her of what's in store for her. Foreman tells her to be on time from now on and to stop feeling sorry for herself. Thirteen's cellmate shows up at her apartment in need of urgent medical attention. She realizes the woman needs to be taken to a hospital, but the woman says the cops will be waiting for her there to send her back to prison on a parole violation.
Characterization
After House goes to Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital, Cuddy keeps Thirteen and the rest of the staff. However, when House announces he's not coming back, she starts working for her boyfriend, Eric Foreman. They solve the case (with a little help from House).
The patient points his gun at her, threatening her. Thirteen puts the needle closer and closer to her arm, but keeps crying that she doesn't want to die. She tells the patient, "Sometimes you just have to trust people." The patient isn't buying it. After more moments of her moving the needle closer to her arm, she exclaims that she doesn't want to die once more. The patient grows frustrated and slams the gun down and takes the drug, injecting himself, since Thirteen is obviously refusing to do so. Right at that moment, the side of the room blows up.
However, Thirteen continues on her downward spiral. Thirteen is also forced to become a guinea pig for whatever drugs a hostile patient receives in one of the episodes. Thirteen's brother was in the late stages of Huntington's disease and couldn't control his movements. He thinks drugs would explain everything because they can mess up the electrical pathways in the heart and cause blood clots. Thirteen realizes House will want to search her apartment.
First Episode Appearance
Thirteen eventually admits to House that she did what she had to when her brother's time had come, and that now she is alone and will have nobody there for her when her time comes. House later tells her that he is willing to euthanise her when she needs him to and rehires her onto his team. House wants to know what Thirteen is going back for when her license practice medicine is obviously suspended because of her conviction.

When House calls trying to reach Thirteen for help but Thirteen is not there and the phone vibration wakes up the woman instead. The woman sees someone standing over her bed pointing a gun at her. Thirteen is in the other room cleaning up blood stains. The man with the woman points a gun at her and she pleads with him to put it down.
He was also the first to figure out that Thirteen was engaging in self-destructive behavior because of Huntington's positive genetic test. In House's Head, she ignores the rest of the team and Cuddy by looking for an air embolism House thinks is in the patient's heart. Once again, her faith in House's abilities was not misplaced. However, despite her faith in House, Wilson pointed out that she is one of the only fellows House has ever had who has not "fallen under his spell". Indeed, House has been particularly inept in manipulating Thirteen (although he did succeed in getting her to return to the team in Teamwork). Thirteen is examining the woman's abdominal wound to see how much damage there is.
Taub realizes there's something seriously wrong with them as Rachel agrees and they embrace. With some of the most creative minds in the industry, bring us your idea and watch it turn into a fully developed and feasible design. Our team will make sure to take everything into consideration, crafting a design that fits your dream and budget. We knew the network was looking for procedurals, and Paul [Attanasio] came up with this medical idea that was like a cop procedural. But I quickly began to realize that we needed that character element.
She arguably possesses greater street smarts than any of the other characters. In the episode Joy, she correctly identified a female drug dealer who met up with the patient, while Taub mistook the same woman for a prostitute. Thirteen is level headed, bright, enthusiastic, and generally not afraid to speak up when she thinks she is right. She has good relationships with patients, and it is shown she isn't as judgmental as her colleagues when it comes to drug-using patients. This could be attributed to her history of drug use.
House reveals he wants Thirteen to go along because she won a science fair competition in high school on clean combustion and he needs her skills for the competition. He tells Thirteen he's finished second four years running to the same man - Harold Lam. Thirteen realizes how serious House is about the competition and agrees to help, but demands that she be allowed a personal stop along the way. Thirteen returns in the show's 150th episode, "The Dig",[7] where House meets her upon release from a prison where she has been incarcerated for the last six months for over-prescribing drugs. She has House drive her to a seemingly random house where she rings the bell, then assaults the man who answers the door.

Thirteen has not been tested for the Huntington's gene, and House is astounded. While in the episode Thirteen prepares to biopsy House, House awakens and asks if the patient is still alive and Thirteen proceeds with a liver biopsy. House realizes it was Thirteen who drugged him, but she notes he drugged her too. After Thirteen leaves, he grabs a glove to cover the top of a water bottle with Thirteen's DNA to do a test on it for Huntington's. House (also called House, M.D.) is an American medical drama television series that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004, to May 21, 2012.
The team is dismayed - the seafood isn't local and could be carrying all kinds of diseases. However, Thirteen remembers toad eggs can make people high and give them nausea. The antidote is fast acting, so they could get him on his feet quickly. The patient once again asks that someone else be injected with the drug first. However, the drug slows the heart rate, and slowing the heart rate of someone who already has a normal heart rate is dangerous.
However, after a particularly bad fight, Foreman apologizes to Thirteen for firing her, admits that he knew it was the wrong decision the minute he made it, and further admits that he was too proud to back off. Although Foreman is supportive and tries to find Thirteen another job and keep the relationship going, it's clear that the firing has permanently damaged the relationship. The relationship is strained somewhat after Kutner's suicide when Foreman withdraws from the world.
