Complete story — includes the ending
Cuddy feels responsible when her handyman ( Ignacio Serricchio ) falls off her roof then exhibits unusual symptoms. House's team amputates the handyman's hand to prevent the spread of infection, but when the other hand starts showing similar signs, they must seek out the source before it kills the patient. House ultimately realizes that it's psittacosis, a rare disease associated with exposure to birds, to which the team objects because he doesn't work with birds at any of his jobs. Ultimately, the team finds an illegal cockfight where he works on Saturday nights. Final diagnosis: Endocarditis secondary to psittacosis
