Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
look if we're going UK style, I'd rather have a huge lorry than Hugh Laurie


can't very well haul tomato crates in the latter

Dr House is a terrible doctor, and all his patients end up bankrupt due to his performing ten things on them before the cure is found.

House was just copaganda but for doctors.

The whole show was just variations of, "Sure, he's a grossly unethical medical practitioner, but dammit he gets results!"

House had people's lives in his hands and he saved them. As much of a dick as he was, he clearly cared about people enough to at least extend their lives.

Did they ever have the plot point of the prisoner having to have medical care even though they just killed a bunch of people or whatever? I can't remember which medical shows did that. It's an interesting ethical dilemma, if someone is dying but they are actually a horrible person who will possibly continue to hurt others is it even right to save them? Is health care/extension of life a basic human right or a privilege?

Did you know you can download the show Avenue 5? It's true. I would never do such a thing though. It would never take up space on my NAS. No not ever.

It could be this episode, maybe? https://house.fandom.com/wiki/Acceptance

About a death-row inmate with adrenal gland problems.

Edit:

quote:

House: "Good question. What makes a person deserving? Is a man who cheats on his wife more deserving than a man who kills his wife?"
Foreman: "Yeah, actually, he is."
House: "What about a child molester? Certainly not a good guy, but he didn't kill anybody. Maybe he can get antibiotics, but no MRIs. What medical care should you be denied for being a car thief? Tell ya what, the three of you work on a list - what medical treatments a person loses based on the crime they committed. I'll review it when I get back."

Of course Doctor House has a British accent, aren't they up to like fifteen of them or something?

The episode where they had a patient who was dying and then he says nonsense and it turns out it's nanobots or something and like three people no one gives a poo poo about dies but he saves the patient then ODs on morphine or something.

Re watched season 1 and wow a lot happens in that show. Like remember Vogler, the evil CEO? I remembered him as a big bad, but actually he shows up in the middle of season 1 for a handful of episodes. Season just goes on forever.

Could you imagine if they rebooted House, Castle, Bones, all that schlock? They would 100% make it a "Cinematic Universe" and you'd get references to each other. "Ah yes Mr Castle what a conundrum, luckily I know a doctor man. Hello, Mr House MD? We have a pickle!" Cue crossover episode.

I mean sure, but having a dr whose catch phrase was "everyone lies", treats most patients with contempt and is grossly unethical really tilts that all out of whack.

I mean having dealt with enough condescension, worthless gps and having family die to medical incompetence is probably clouding my judgement a bit, but having a dedicated but otherwise rubbish doctor is just like a cop show where they break laws and are total fucksticks but still catch the crooks at the end.

I mean there were other problematic things about House too but poo poo that all medical dramas do poorly like drs doing poo poo they arent trained to do, like administer treatments, thats nurses and technians work.
Id recall other crap but its been ages since ive watched it.

I like that he has 3 fully qualified doctors working under him, and they spend most of their time running lab tests. Where does the MRI technician go every time they take over the MRI room?

Where are all the lab techs that ought to work in the lab? These chuckleheads are in there all the time taking over the microscopes and stuff. Do they have a fully kitted out lab capable of running literally every possible test that just sits empty all week waiting for House to have a bunch of stat tests that need to be done immediately?

This is a very poorly run department IMO.
