Help! I missed season one of HOUSE. What was the "accident" that messed up his leg ?

Question

I didn't start watching until season two and I still don't know exactly what happened.

Answer 1

In the last two episodes of Season 1, we learn that House himself has some problem (I can't recall) that escallated. When placed into a coma to make the pain more bearible by Cuddy, his (now ex) wife Stacy agrees to let Cuddy do an operation that saves his life but causes House to lose full use of his leg.
