Lucille Hernandez was a clinic patient in the episode Heavy. She is the wife of Mr. Hernandez. She was portrayed by actress Susan Slome. Lucille came to the clinic because she was having trouble with heartburn. As House noted her large abdomen and heartburn is a common complication of pregnancy, House guessed she was pregnant. Lucille was very insulted saying that she had already been sterilized and that her body shape was normal for a woman – curves are what women are supposed to have. Dr. House was skeptical, but agreed to run a battery of blood tests.
