Spoiler:
The main POTW (Patient of the Week, for those not used to the jargon! 
) is a man with a progressive debilitating disease who is confined to a wheelchair etc. While dealing with this patient, House sees a clinic patient who, as House walks into the exam room, opens up a flick knife and jams it into a wall socket, electrocuting himself! When House later questions why the patient did this, he explains that he'd been involved in a bad car crash and was technically dead for 97 seconds... and that it was the best 97 seconds of his life. He felt he'd experienced something, that there was something out there (i.e. an afterlife etc) and he'd been trying to recapture that high/that experience.
The main POTW is dying and the best treatment option they can offer will only prolong his life by a few months. He decides he doesn't want the treatment, that he's been slowly losing everything that makes life worth living and that he's ready to "move on" and "escape this body". House is annoyed, asking him what he thinks he's going to move on to, saying there is only this life and that's it. Afterwards Wilson berates House, asking him why he couldn't have just let the man take comfort in his beliefs. House counters that the patient shouldn't be making a decision based on false information. Wilson counters that House doesn't know that the information is false, he doesn't know there is no afterlife. So House, being House, decides to test the theory for himself... using the same method as the clinic patient!
