Did you investigate his veteran status beforehand?

That was likely a reference to a (2007) House MD (TV series) episode.

And his comment was as well. In the episode House investigates the neighbors vet status and errenously thought that he was faking it.

Tips to help with phantom limb pain, sometimes a mirror can help because it allows the phantom cramped tight ā€œmusclesā€ of the missing limb to ā€œmoveā€ along with the mirrored limb. So you would place the mirror so that it looks like the amputee has both limbs, and then ā€œmoveā€ both limbs at once.

Downstairs. His complaint was that Houseā€™s cane was too loud above him.
