Foucault in da House

I mentioned how the television show House made me think of Foucauldian themes sometimes (the main character generally refuses to have a subjectivity), and there's one specific example I want to present, because I think it helps with the thread that runs through discussion of Foucault's methodology, namely that he is interested in noting "positivities" rather than engaging in interpretation: ie. staying at a 'surface' level of discourse and practices.

The plotline of House a couple of weeks ago: a young woman comes into the hospital who has been raped and who won't talk about it, or about anything to anyone except Dr House. He doesn't want to talk to her, being a general misanthrope, but ends up doing so, and all of his colleagues repeat to him how he must get her to talk about the rape. In the end, she does, and his colleagues congratulate him on successfully initiating the healing process, to which he responds: "Gee, and I thought what I did was make a girl cry."

The Foucauldian aspect of this response isn't, as I see it, about showing something that is generally thought to be a good thing (initiating healing) to be a bad thing (making people cry). Or even about attacking the veracity of the psychological theory that has it that we cope with bad experiences better if we talk about them.

It strikes me as Foucauldian because it's a very literal, surface reading: it's "positive" in two senses:
—"positivist" in the traditional sense, because it avoids reference to hidden explanatory terms, it's almost behaviourist
—because it looks to see what is "produced" rather than what is "revealed", it acknowledges that he "did" something, rather than just "allow something to come out"
