How can a formulaic series be so based?

he groped my behind

Pt. 2/2
The show was more like a detective drama along the lines of 'Law & Order' w/ medicine as opposed to a purely medical show like 'ER'. As such, there was more time dedicated to the development of the characters as they went about trying to cure their patient. Everything was portrayed in a darker adult manner & there wasn't too much focus on romance. Storylines were meaningful & involving, w/ no soft portrayal of the realities of life & death. The medical aspects of the show were almost always realistic.

really upsetting that they would whitewash wilson like this, why didnt they use a jewish actor?

>We had a show that wasn't afraid to depict a disabled person acting like an arrogant oaf at times
I tried to stick it out but this was 100% of House's character all the time so I gave up. Don't make me sit through several hours of show to get a hint of the main character's humanity. That's something you should include in the pilot.

The show is literally Sherlock Holmes MD tho.

When I first watched House in high school, I decided that I wanted to become a doctor in the future. The "arcana of medicine" just seemed so cool and interesting, and the hospital hijinks were really entertaining.

I'm on my 2nd year of specialization training and haven't regretted my choices for a single day. Looking back at the show as a doctor, the medicine is usually pretty solid (barring shit like House's little residents doing everything from bloodwork to MRIs, which is a huge waste of hospital money, and kinda beneath a doctor), the cases are rooted in actual clinical practice, the reasoning and diagnostic play-by-play are also mostly feasible.

It's pretty impressive for a show that's only tangentially medical - it's more of a Sherlock Holmes kind of thing - but for what it's worth, I think House aged beautifully. It was also a time when you could make fun of gays, trannies, blacks and women without people coming for your head

so the science is pretty accurate? are the final cures real solutions or just tv fiction?

Not always. The "cure" in the endometriosis episode was assloads of retarded.

Sometimes they take pretty big artistic license with it, but yes, the science is pretty sound like 95% of the time.
Surprisingly, most issues I've had was that certain episodes' diagnoses should've been obvious, because they neglected to do some routine differentialising test that you're absolutely supposed to do

very cool, any particular favorite/least favorite episodes from your medical lens?

house always get clues when he talks or watches the patient, which he does only at the end
The show is jsut retarded

House is legendary for having shit medicine

will tell u when i find one

house is cool protagonist, the rest of the crew were interesting too and their interactions were fun
also top tier waifus like cameron

>Holmes (homes): House
>Watson: Wilson

From the ones I remember vividly, definitely the episode with the NASA applicant woman (Where Kal Penn used paddles in a hyperoxygenated room and ignited her - my friend failed her ER exam because she forgot to turn off oxygen before defibrillating a guy).

There was also an episode in season 3 where Foreman insisted on giving the patient iv corticosteroids because it was a 50/50 on whether her fever was caused by some infectious agent or an autoimmune disease. He put all his eggs in the autoimmune basket (which was unfortunately the wrong bet) and the immunological impairment due to the steroids rapidly killed the patient. This unfortunately happens sometimes, and I remember that he took it very badly.

Some egregiously stupid episode I remember was near the beginning of the show, where they were looking for the source of a hospital infection affecting newborns. The case was solved when they realized that a previous test was a false-negative due to the child' receiving his mother's antibodies for one of the TORCH viruses - that is something you learn in fucking 2nd year medical school and literally the stupidest family doctor in Doohickey Texas would know to watch out for this

Well then that reputation is undeserved - most of the time the diagnostic process is sound, if a bit overdramatic.

The unrealistic bits are:
>the fact that House is allowed to act in the hospital like he does (which is weakly handwaved by Cuddy, she says she just pays him a shit salary and leaves the rest for lawsuits)
>the fact that a fucking department exists with 4 superqualified doctors who treat one patient at a time (although I can sort of see the value of all the scientific papers this must produce - each of the fellows should at least be a PhD after a year of this shit)
>most egregiously, the fact that House's staff do all their tests by themselves - this gets you great character interactions, but from a medical standpoint - a doctor wouldn't be doing a nurse's or a lab assistant's job, because his time is worth more money, and because these people are much better than doctors at this shit.

>be a PhD after a year of this shit)
you do not need to have a phd before being officially a doctor?

>>>most egregiously, the fact that House's staff do all their tests by themselves
ER was better on this

Last thing I would like to add - you really shouldn't listen to these Youtube vlogger "REAL DOCTOR REVIEWS MEDICAL SHOW" faggots. They're mostly milquetoast people who just regurgitate research society recommendations for every symptom/disease brough up on screen.
Truth is, every experienced doctor has his own little wisdoms and personal rules that they've worked out over the years. Therefore I have absolutely no trouble believing House would have preferences as to what tests he likes to disregard or interpret unconventionally, he's supposed to be a supergenius who has seen a fuckload of strange cases in his lifetime. He's also wrong more often than not.

You become an MD when you graduate, allowing you to practice medicine as a GP (general practitioner) or go on to do residency at a specialty (like for example Nephrology or Orthopaedics). A PhD is a scientific title you attain as you work, by writing research papers and getting them published.

Basically, a PhD means you're a doctor who's done extensive scientific research in addition to regular practice.

The non lead actors must carry their own test because it is only way for them to get screen time and talk about their sex life. That's the whole point of the show and the only way to keep the female audience.

olivia wilde is so pretty, i'd drink her piss

Yeah I know, that's some of the best stuff in the show and I understand it has to be there. Just saying, medically it's very very absurd.

>When I first watched House in high school, I decided that I wanted to become a doctor in the future.
did you tell that to med school admissions?

Of course I didn't, I said some generic shit about being fascinated by the human organism etc.

Funnily enough, of all the friends I've made throughout my years at medschool, a third of them said that they wanted to become doctors because of House (the rest mostly had doctor parents)

I'm a nurse and if we every have the same pt kill me cause you sound like a fucking cunt

yikes mate
Any particular specialty?

Yes, by the time the show's novelty wore off and it was getting criticized for being formulaic (after s2) it wasn't as good anymore. First two seasons were great though

I work on a peds floor, looking to get into np school before they change the law to requiring doctorate degrees instead of masters.

Good luck with that, seems like a good idea.

Thanks buddy, good luck with your endeavors.

Agreed. House's character became pretty grating, to the point where you're wondering why the fuck he hasn't been fired. So he's brilliant and solves a difficult case occasionally, big deal. As if hospitals give two shits about finding out what's wrong with a patient.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

blablabla stop whining about how you hated the show and tell me more series like House I can watch

I never watched for the "oh boy, will house solve the case this time?",i watched it because of the story behind the case and how relates to house, or how doesn't. There's a story happening during the episodes.
Also lots of phylosopical topics were discussed in a lot of episodes, it was interesting for me, that together with a lot, a lot of good jokes it was just too good.

same
recommend me another show plox

i wish i knew, im not into series.

FOREMAN YOU GOTTA STEAL THIS THING FOR ME

"THEN LET ME RING UP ONE THE HOMMIES"

if he didnt want to be a thief he shouldnt have jacked that car

Has the show ended? It seems like its running forever. Every time I catch it on TV I always see a new episode. Its always fun to see House fuck around with his patients and playing mindgames with his assistants because he is bored and wants something to distract him from the pain even though some episode conclusios are straight up bullshit

it ended in 2012
he was going to jail and wilson was dying of cancer, so he faked his death to be with wilson. The last episode is a struggle between the smart house and the happy house, in the entire show the smart house always won (except when he was with cuddy, when he said "you make me a worse doctor, and you are worth it"), and now he decided he prefered to be happy.

Literally me tier.

Its sounds like a fucking letdown ending. Good thing I havent watched it.

it was p shit desu
i actually preferred the ending to Dexter

>It was an intelligent show complete w/ interesting, solid characters
Jesus, this is what passes for intelligent television? I've watched one episode of house (the airplane one) and it was one of the dumbest episodes of television I've ever watched. The way that the doctor characters jump from diagnosis to diagnosis, the sheer implausibility of the premise, it's entertaining but in no way is it "intelligent"

>Also lots of phylosopical topics were discussed in a lot of episodes
Jesus fucking christ I need to get off this website

ok then redditbro, what series would you recommend instead?

It's boring as fuck.
Every episode:
>patient comes in
>House offers cure
>Cuddy: "I WON'T LET YOU RISK THIS PATIENTS LIFE HOUSE!"
>Doctor's go to patients home for some reason
>House figures out new cure out of nowhere
>he's right
Repeat.

Sopranos
Star Trek
X-Files

Yeah lets ignore all the other scenes

speaking of House parodies. best one incoming

It's genuinely embarrassing how people pretend like the Sopranos still holds up. Let it go already.

>barring shit like House's little residents doing everything from bloodwork to MRIs, which is a huge waste of hospital money, and kinda beneath a doctor
To be fair, this is brought up multiple times and explained as house not trusting nurses to do anything important.

Absolutely Patrician

I liked the earlier seasons more, primarily because the actual medicine was much easier to follow. They made an effort to keep the audience up with what was happening with the cases. I've watched every episode multiple times, and it became clear I always knew exactly what was happening in the first 2 seasons. The 3rd season it starts to fall off, and the last few seasons the cases become pretty fuzzy.

>Generation X had ER
>Millenials had Dr. House

Somewhat unrelated, but has anyone else noticed how shockingly ugly the cast of The Good Doctor are? It literally makes it unwatchable. It's not even that theyre all diversity roles, they are just physically unattractive.

Well, let me break it down for you: it's crap, it was always crap, and you should feel bad for liking it.

I'm pretty sure zoomers don't watch greys anatomy. the people that watched that show when it was actually on air are like 40 now.

ER > Scrubs > Code black > Dr. House >>> Grey's anatomy

bitch nobody under the age of 50 watches that shit lmao

I just thought it funny that there are people who go to medical school because they watched that shitty series. What do zoomers watch anyway?

Zoomers don't watch television, they create their own art.

Chase > Cuddy > 13 >>> Cameron

>also top tier waifus like cameron
you mean chase

based faggots

>guy with literal daddy issues
>top tier
Admittingly, House could have scored with every member of his original team but Foreman.
