Amber Volakis is an interventional radiologist, and one of the candidates who fought for a fellowship under House. Volakis was willing to do anything to get the job, including acts of dishonesty. This is first seen when she convinces a group of applicants to quit, rather than be humiliated by House. She later admits it was a ruse. She is subsequently referred to as Cutthroat Bitch and Bitch throughout the season. She frequently coerced Chase and Cameron, now reassigned to different departments of the hospital, into helping her. Her persistence and unorthodox approaches initially win her praise, but she is ultimately eliminated because House feels she cannot accept being wrong; something he says she'd need to be able to accept on a regular basis if she were to work for him. Dr. Volakis returns when House discovers that she is Wilson's girlfriend; a fact Wilson had been trying to conceal from House. After House got drunk at a bar, Amber was forced to come pick him up since Wilson was on call. She and House got on a bus, which subsequently crashed, leaving Amber severely injured. After being taken to Princeton General, she was treated for her injuries and was stable, but her heart continued to race, meaning that whatever was causing her rapid heartbeat was not a result of the crash. She was taken to Princeton-Plainsboro, where House determined that she had taken Amantadine just before the crash. Because her kidneys were damaged in the accident, her body was unable to filter the Amantadine out, and there was nothing they could do. She died in Wilson's arms.
