Is Dr. House Is A Bad Doctor?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2021
- House MD was one of my favorite medical shows growing up, but as I've matured into my career as a physician I've realized that his actual skills are... questionable. While Hugh Laurie's Dr. Gregory House is indeed a genius, his bedisde manner and ethics need a LOT of work. Needless to say, I only want him to be my doc if things get REALLY bad. What about you? Which doctor should I review next? #shorts

"I still want him as my doctor if I have a rare condition" is the entire factor of House
Yep, I was gonna say: that's how they get you. And how House gets away with it.
Note the unspoken part of “if I don’t have a rare condition”…. Lol
Drug addiction aside DR. House is a specialist. You get referred to him under very specific conditions.
In House’s case SOMETHING is killing you fast and no one knows the what, how or the why. House’s methods may be questionable BUT they are tolerated and used because they work! So you get to live.
If I do get a rare condition, I definitely want him as my doctor. Forget bedside manners if he can fix it hahaha
Best plot summary right there
"Still want him as my doctor" - That basically sums up the entire show 😂😂😂
As a Doctor, he appreciates knowledge above all else. It makes sense.
If he wasnt upfront brutal slapping the truth in cuddys face, her mom would have died and she wouldnt have stepped up her game against her mom

@@furkanbozdag8198 dont tire your one single brain cell out in sheer exhuation in the sttempt of truing to use it
I know and my mom has me watching it right now not literally now but it is the show I will sit and watch for hours and will not even move a muscle or pick up my phone but that is half because I have a crush on him
Exactly, you don't come to House for your main health provider, you come to him when you have zebras
unless you have a simple staph infection from your bra hook, then you are screwed.
@@scottmatheson3346foremans fault
@@scottmatheson3346I remember that episode. Though it was because something else major was happening in that same episode. I forgot what.
@arslanhassan1533 just watches that episode, foremans family was visiting
@@scottmatheson3346 Foreman made that mistake.
You hit the nail on the head, my friend. The whole point of the TV show House, M.D. was to ask a very simple question that they posed, a couple of times, in the series. "Would you rather have a doctor who ignored you while saving your life or a doctor who holds your hand while you die". Those words were spoken by Hugh Laurie on the show. So, you have basically answered the question the show was asking.
I think the point of the show was also about House's worldview. Can people truly change? The last line of the show is House saying "I can change", but it doesn't definitively answer that. Were Chase and Foreman always the leaders they become? Did Cameron or Taub change or did they always want a family deep down?
I would love to see a continuation where House gets out of prison after 15 years to a brave new world and to see if he has changed like he promised Wilson, or if he is still the same.
Dr. House is basically the living breathing "I was right all along and my methods only enabled me" fantasy LOL
More like "let me be myself and I'll always eventually get it right"
@@arturoaguilar6002 After patient nearly dies 3 times an episode because of my own misdiagnosis
Well, it's more complicated but... yes
And I live for it
@@laxjoh true, but other doctors might lose the patient after only 1 misdiagnosis, that's not really winning lol
There's an episode where House is happy and in a good mood and actually listens to the patient's parents and is respectful to them. The patient almost died and House realised it's because he can't be good at his job without being his usual self.
Whats worse is that he was on meth and the reason that guy was dying was he just took too many energy drinks and the happy house just madw hik worse
@@hridhaannautiyal5154 It wasn't meth. Everyone thought he was on heroin, but it was actually methadone. And the patient was the chimera kid.
The problem there is that that was idiot plot and a cop-out for house
@@jackfox5738 it's almost like it's a medical drama written for drama- but that'd be crazy!
Yet he’s help almost every patient he’s come across so what’s the problem?
He's not the doctor we deserve. But the doctor we need.
Honestly the thing I learned most from
House is that whenever I go to a doctor for something I tell them everything I can. Fortunately it’s never been anything worse than gastroenteritis but I laid out the timeline, the symptoms, when it got worse, everything I could think of that was relevant. Because a doctor can’t help me if they don’t know what’s going on
For sure. I just wish doctors were much better at actually taking thorough histories, it's easy for patients to forget this and that.. but it's good to advocate for oneself, having some basic knowledge about what is important to include when you tell your doctor (or nurse) your issues and symptoms can go a long way! Usually, if you don't advocate for yourself, nobody will.
In fairness, he's usually right when accuses his patients of lying. 😅
yeap
If patient didn't tell him smth that patient wasn't aware had any importance, it's not technically lying if not asked.
@@freethinkeralways True
They say they aren't but it always seems to come back that they were.
@@freethinkeralways True. There's also cases where patients will withhold obviously important information or symptoms for... whatever reason. Or addictions/drug history. Ironic
Us chronic illness people PRAY to get a doctor like him. I don’t care if you’re nice to me. I care that you’re dedicated beyond question to helping me.
Agreed!
What if later he drugs your mom without her knowing because he found her annoying? Lol
@@laulau5356 she probably was annoying so it would be a blessing
@@therabbits69 😂 I wouldn’t mind. My mom usually blacks out anyways all on her own 😂😂😂
he's not dedicated to helping you at all. he doesn't give a damn about you and will shrug you off if you are boring. it's all about indulging his need for stimulation.
His methods are what makes him a great doctor even if he pops a bottle a day and your feelings get hurt in the process 😂
no, plot armor is what makes him a great doctor, without it his methods would be self-sabotaging.
the plot of every Dr. House episode:
“he’s lying”
“you’re wrong”
*is right*
He said it himself. "Would you rather a doctor that holds your hand as you die, or one that ignores you as you get better?"
It's crazy to me that people actually think this applies to real life though Like he isn't a character in the show. Who by the way is usually wrong on the first couple of times anyways
@@114bleachfanSo,in your logic,PSAs are just useless ads that appears in your TV screen and wastes your time
@@114bleachfanwell he gets the job done. I wouldnt be too upset if a dr fixes me up from something that probably wouldve killed me. Also yes hes a risk taking but the risk he takes always have at some obscure backing to justify his logical process
People are such sissies lmao. House is a fun doctor i would love for him to br my doctor
Yes, he is wrong first few times but you know what, so would anyone else be cause his diagnostic team runs by treating patients who no one else can diagnose, rare disease and rare ways of diseases presenting themselves. Common doctor cannot diagnose what is wrong with my head saying it must be Eczema even when it clearly does not help me and i keep telling them that any meds and any amount of showering or skincare has no effect on my dryer than Trumps humor skin, so i'm just forced to have super itchy body anywhere that grows hair? that's my life now? i'd take House anytime rather than a doctor who can' diagnose that what they are giving you is not working.@@114bleachfan
House says: "Would you rather have a doctor who cures you, or one who holds your hand while you die?"
It's not like medical competence and compassion have to be mutually exclusive.
Not wrong, but medical competence clearly takes priority by a mile in cases where it's possible to treat the ailment.
And no one says they are lol. It's just taken out of context.
House says it because he doesn't act compassionate in an obvious way (but he is still compassionate as shown in multiple cases). So he says it because it's either him or someone possibly more compassionate but certainly less able.
The real meaning of the question is which one is more important?
Take that many painkillers , and compassion plus your filter goes out the window . Maybe a consultation ???
Do you want the doctor that almost kills every patient before figuring out what is wrong with them?
@@fetzie23 I did not remotely say anything like that.
House is the type of doctor that you want he actually cares about his patients
no, he doesn't. he explicitly doesn't give a damn about his patients and just uses them for mental stimulation.
@@scottmatheson3346he does sometimes
He doesn't care about his patients at all. He cares about solving the mystery.
But I still want him as my doctor. 😅 No offense to my own doctor. She's actually pretty awesome, too.
@@scottmatheson3346i think he does care because he once risked his medical license and job to make sure his patient would get a heart transplant.
@@ismelllikemarijuana Thats about the mistery. He also get prison for curing a patience but again all for the mistery
I love how they just tell the patient “we found this at your house” and they don’t even question it at all
Lets be honest, even at -4 that Ethics score is super generous 😂
But bedside manner was too low. He's great with kids so that should have at least kept him out of the negative lol.
I mean, do you want a mean doctor who saves your life or a nice doctor who whispers sweet nothings in your ear while your dying from a staph infection? Lol
@@dascherofficial why can’t we have a nice doctor who saves your life?😂
@@dascherofficial I know this is asking too much, but how about a doctor that legit knows what he's doing in order to save your life, BUT also treats his staff and patients with basic human decency?
@@noradanielle971 we're speaking in the context of the House MD universe.
The nice doctors are all gonna kill you.
Speaking of House, he does say at least once "Do you want a doctor that holds your hand as you die or ignores you as you get better?"
holds your hand as you get better
@@dicedoom7162you don’t understand hypotheticals do you?
@HazeLmao that was the answer that given when house asked that question to a patient in the show.
@@Raggrummore or less the opposite, he just says “of course the worst case would be a doctor who ignores you while you die”
same vibe as Harvey saying "I'm not the type of lawyer holds your hand when you're scared, I'm the type to win and get you out of this" (to donna)
I've been told before that House MD is basically just a slightly more comedic Sherlock Holmes if he worked at a hospital, and after that, House's whole characterisation made a ton more sense
Bedside manner is 10/10. He gets to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. Says what needs to be said and tell you how it is.
Bedside manner is 404/10
Doctor not found.
Honesty is a great quality. The wanton snark is unnecessary though.
I'd say 4/10 personally
Honesty is great. lack of presence, inability to not make fun of patients and staff. Prevent otherwise harmless tests for the sake of providing himself right and a belief of withholding information to get his way (hates informed consent) I would give him a 2/10
House is like a library: it has all the knowledge you will ever need, but it really shouldn't be a doctor.
Well if you have a deadly illness he is your guy. If you thought you did but don't then nope.
Yeah, he should be a consultant for doctors, something like Sherlock Holmes to the police.
Haha too funny
Dr mike wants dr house to be his personal doctor so that's a good sign with me. I'll go with dr house.
I agree that libraries shouldn’t be doctors because they can’t move
My mom thinks House was based on a doctor she met.
Back in the late 90’s, my Memaw was starting to have trouble with her sight. Went to three doctors, told her nothing was wrong, the third (or fourth) doctor even suggested that it was probably all in her head because of empty nest syndrome. Someone told my mom to check out a Dr. Goldman but warned her that he was very arrogant. By this time, Goldman was the fourth or fifth doctor they were going to see. My Memaw was expecting him to say the same thing as the other doctors had told her, that nothing was wrong, and that was annoying my mom. At Goldman’s office, he walks in, he looks into my Memaw’s eyes and says, “I know whats wrong with her”. My mom doesn’t believe him because it was so quick and he says, “do you want me to show you?” and my mom says “Yes”. Lo and behold, my Memaw had this rare type of cataracts and Dr. Goldman was the only one to diagnose her correctly and got her the treatment she needed. My mom asked him how he was the only one able to figure it out and he says, “Because they aren’t as good as me”. This is why my mom is convinced that House is based off Dr. Goldman 😂
House is actually meant to be Sherlock Holmes but for medicine, but I wonder if your mom met a real life Holmes/House anyway? 🤔
@@tiffanymarie9750 that was the impression I got; every time we would watch House, my mom would always talk about Dr. Goldman. He was a brilliant ophthalmologist and was the only one out of the four or five doctors that my mom and Memaw saw that was able to give my Memaw the diagnosis. My mom was warned that he was arrogant but after he diagnosed my Memaw, my mom said that he can be as arrogant as he wants.
@@tiffanymarie9750 His Memaw (with capitol M) said so, common you have to believe his Memaw.
It's "Lo and behold"
@@tiffanymarie9750interestingly, the character of Sherlock Holmes was based on a real life doctor who was famous for the grand conclusions he could draw from small details about people, so the character House really is a fantastic homage to the source material
When someone matches his mood, and snaps back at him with the same vigor, he’s cool with you.
I find Dr House's bedside manner comforting. I'm not intimidated by people who are quick to the point and sincere, I'm intimidated by fake niceness; I'm scared that such a person is trying to placate me rather than fix me. Find someone who everyone hates like House who for some reason still has a job even though there's every conceivable reason to get rid of them, then you know they must be good at what they're doing.
What Dr House isn't is unfair or unjust, he doesn't hate people, he has shown multiple times how deeply he cares for people, but because he cares for people that much is why he cannot get emotionally invested. I don't think I'd have any problems with House, he would find me a refreshing patient.
"I'd still want him as my doctor if I had a rare condition." Yes! I will take brains over bedside manner every single day - especially when my life is on the line. And that was the point of House, in a nutshell.
I mean... he was basically a medical Sherlock Holmes :D
Yup, the doctor you want when you have a really neesh(?) condition that might/will likely end up killing you. In all the regular health conditions.. Thanks I'll take a regular good doctor
@@nihilisthuman6784 I don't know where you're coming from by saying House might end up killing you, considering he rarely killed any of his patients
@@nihilisthuman6784 idk, I would still take someone who is more skillful, even if they are rude
@@bobbymcjoey9432 they said that the rare condition might kill them, not the doctor
I think that one important aspect of House is shown in the episode “One Day, One Room.” He realizes that a patient is a rape victim, and immediately tells Cuddy to assign a different doctor (losing a bet in the process). It’s not that it was a boring case, it’s not that he couldn’t be bothered, but he recognized that, when it mattered here, he was not suited to be the doctor she needed. It shows a sharp contrast to his usual jabs at patients. It doesn’t make up for his bedside manner, but it does add nuance.
that was such a touching episode
yeah, his bedside manners with children is also very good.
That’s one of my favorite episodes. House actually does say the case is boring since it’s solved which actually I think is true too, but then when she attempted to unalive herself, there was another puzzle for him to solve - why she wanted him as a doctor. I think that was what piqued his interest, and along the way he realized they have more in common than he thought.
As a family full of zebra conditions (there’s even been “a zebra of the zebra conditions” diagnosed, you would not believe how many times we’ve stated in exasperation that we wish we could find a real dr house. Specialist after specialist. They all seem to look for horses. 😢 It’s gotten to the point that we tell doctors that it doesn’t matter how rare it is or if we don’t fit the typical patient type, consider it if the symptoms fit.
My daughter had a genetic anomaly for which she was the first diagnosed case.
Doctors could have called me anything they wanted if they could have helped her more. We had six beautiful years with her. We still wish we could have had more.
House is the kind of doctor you want to see after all doctors tell you something.
"I still want him as my doctor if I've got a rare condition." Aaaaand that's the show in a nutshell. Everyone knows house is awful when it comes to actually being a person, but he's so good at what he does that it's worth it. lol
Plus bedside manner is overrated 80% of the time. I've had the sweetest Drs that should just be quiet and look good. BS wrapped in kindness doesn't help anyone anymore than bullying them does. Just the facts delivered seriously but carefully while still giving me all the info needed to make a full decision is all anyone asks.
@@freakychick1978 but in houses case it's more than being respectful or not
I’ve seen a lot of doctors give up after a few standard tests. My mom has a cough that won’t go away. All chest X-rays, sinus X-rays, blood work, everything looks fine. So they just told her, “eh? you seem fine”. Dr. House wouldn’t stop trying until he figured it out. She needs a Dr. House.
House doesn't know how to cure unknown diseases, he just knows everything that is in textbooks.
Those doctors actually can find the problem, but they are just too lazy to research more about it.
@@iuhjuy1094 that’s what they’re saying… they need someone willing to do that research and find the answer. They never claimed that House could diagnose unknown diseases.
Just xray and blood test? Which century is that health centre living in?
Get her checked for celiac
@@samsaon7153 they likely didn't include every single test they ran...
"We're supposed to know how long it takes for snakes to regenerate their venom?"
*"Not unless you have a patient that's been bitten by a snake. Then it might be useful."*
- Dr. House after pulling that info out like he's a snake expert 😂
My friends Dad was a doctor (retired) who hated house because so many episodes right at the initial symptoms he would predict what the correct answer was and the treatment house recommended would literally kill the person IRL
I would like a doctor that is brutally honest. You need that sometimes. I am beyond annoyed with my doctors sugar coating everything and making it seem like it’s nothing
Or not looking into your condition because there is no cure anyways so what’s the point in diagnosing you with it.
There should be a CHOICE. Allow patients to check a box at the front desk "polite/politically correct explanations " vs "Brutally honest and direct diagnosis"
@@jaygorippa6746I mean you can be polite while also being completely honest, you don’t have to act like house condescending to be forward.
As a former nurse, I find Dt. House to be an excellent representation of a real M.D.
bei uns in Deutschland werden sogar seine fälle im Studium durchgenommen für die Diagnostik weil die serie realistischer ist als irgendeine andere Arztserie
@@danielk2902is that true? I thought that was scrubs
Lmao😂
@@danielk2902False.
@@danielk2902An immunologist told me that House MD was extremely accurate.
I remember working with a vascular surgeon. Every one of his patients loved him and wanted him as their doctor because of his bedside manner.
None of the operating room staff wanted him as their doctor.
That tells you a lot.
I worked with an ER doctor similar to house, incredibly smart, horrible bedside manner. Patients who came to the ER for nonemergencies hated him. But all us nurses were grateful when he was one during real emergencies because he saved lives.
Let’s be honest: we all want him as a doctor.
If I was dying then yes, but I sure wouldn't want a cynical, snarky, arrogant dude who I could sense resentment from every time I visited him, as my general doctor, that would make me want to avoid him and delay seeing him about health issues, which wouldn't be good. That being said, I absolutely love him as a character.
Fr
if your talking bout house i always dreamt of having his sarcastic humour self as my doctor. lol XD
@@AngryShooter tbh I would want him as my doctor regardless
As a diagnostician, yeah sure, but then I'd immediately want to get treated by another doctor.
Okay but House is actually weirdly good with kids.
"do you have hair in your private place"
Yes, house is amazing with kids, smh
@@jakobjohnsson4639 "Do you have hair, in your special place"
Old comment but I like the show.
House is good with kids because they have innocence. Adults/teens are dumb idiots that do dumb things and are aware of the dumb stupid things they do.
But kids don't, they ignorant to everything and pretty much rely of their parents/others for everything. It's not their fault.
Dumb kid does dumb thing because they didn't know it was dumb, can't really blame them cause they are a *kid* who doesn't know better.
So he's very protective about them about that, especially when someone is gonna get a kid killed by not listening to him.
That episode where he figures out the autistic boy has worms on his eye. The parents hate him, but the boy gives house his prizes possession. Kids indistinctly know if someone is innately good regardless of surface behavior
@@turtlemama888Wouldn’t happen in real life.
Considering he saves nearly every single patient he encounters, even some that aren’t HIS patient, I’d say he’s a damn good doctor lol.
EXACTLY THIS. Screw ethics. Heal me.
He doesn't just treat the symptoms, he finds out why they are happening
And that’s because he’s one of the top diagnosticians in the country, and the job of a diagnostician is to find the cause, not just treat the symptoms :)
Dr. Mike: Slams Dr. House
Also Dr. Mike: Still wants him as his doctor (but only if he has a rare condition.)
Seems legit.
I feel like that's only specific use case for Dr. House.
@@josejimenez896 let's not act like doctors don't make mistakes
You would want him even if it wasn't a rare disease because he would not make mistakes
That's a big bias in medicine. The most important thing in a doctor is his problem solving skills. Bedside manners are a close second
I mean, yeah, I don't see the faulty logic.
I pretty much got a female doctor house as a doctor except she's so nice and doubt she does drugs but knowledge and desire for interesting cases is definitely her... without her I never would have gotten my diagnosis... although still a bit of a journey to go to finish the diagnosis
Literally how people on the show feel. They hate him but want him cuz he can fix what's wrong with him.
Agreed 💯.
He's a genius. Considering the state of medicine in my country, not that I am badmouthing my own, just that we are so behind. So definitely, YES FOR DR. HOUSE👍
"He does drugs on the job."
He has a prescription for them.
Doctor House made me study medicine
Hope medicine won't make you like Doctor House.
I LOVE this!
Between house and Grey's Anatomy I started paying attention to ER.
Now I know all kinds of zebras.
And tonight I missed a teratoma on Saving Hope but the other day I got porphyria again. And it was just because the patient had severe abdominal pain. Is porphyria always intermittent or is it sometimes the opposite of intermittent which I can't think of right now?
Oh I had been watching ER all along. That's just when I started really paying attention. There was a lot more medicine in the first season of Gray's anatomy than any other season of Gray's anatomy.
Did he hold a gun to your head? Extort you somehow? Lol I'm trying to imagine that in my head
The unspoken rule of House is *"It's always a zebra"*
or lupus
@@chrstiania no it's never lupus.
And in rare occasions, it's a madman banging two coconuts against eachother.
@@mehboobhassan371It was once.
@@EclecticallyEccentricCommon, it was clearly a horse!
As a person with a chronic illness yet to be diagnosed and abnormal blood work almost everytime that doctors ignore, I would give anything for Dr House to be real most days 💔 I’d take him being verbally cruel to me over all of these doctors in real life ignoring me for the last 10+ years
I am a huge House fan. His nuanced approach taught me to think differently which enabled me to "diagnose" my EDS, Dysautonomia and TOS which was missed by more than 50 doctors. When you hear hoof beats think 🦓. ;)
Well he doesn't treat patients, he treats illness. It's right in the pilot episode.
Scenario : You are dying and no one knows why, but hey they have perfect bed side manners and perfect ethics.
Give me Greg Everyday.
He actually posits that question in an episode. Asked the patient(I think) which he would prefer.
We need a Greg rating video because he’s so good 😊
Surely there exists a doctor who is excellent at diagnosis, but also treats the people around him/her like a human being.
People act like House knows everything but he gets it wrong a dozen times before some new piece of evidence is discovered and he figures it out.
@@dgmilloway is it possible? Sure. But it would be unlikely. The caring surely would be a distraction.
It's why so many of the breakthroughs were made by extremely questionable scientists
He doesn’t accuse them of lying …he TELLS them they are lying…to avoid wasting time😊
In so many professions you get some of those geniuses that are absolutely terrible at any social skills or communications, or just generally being terrible people.
When doctor Mike said “ethics”, I cracked.
Same. There is no way of using "ethics" and "house" in the same phase with a straight face
"It's not Lupus, it's never Lupus"🤣
Idc, I absolutely love House! Even with his bedside and ethics, I'd take him as my Dr any day over a regular dr😅
Dr. House: "I'll save your life, but in the worst way possible."
If we analyse him for a second, we could say that everything he does is for good reasons, wether it’s for his benefit or the patient’s benefits or both
we could say that, if we didn't care about the truth.
I've boycotted House, for the episode he doesn't. He's trying to prove he's right, by examining a person who isn't his patient. That's not the boycott reason, it's the treatment of the group the person is a member of
House is a complicated man. I like him.
I mean there was that one time, when doctors in the Munich Clinic diagnosed someone with some ludicrous rare Tropical Disease and the leading physician said:
"Funny - I saw exactly that thing on House M.D. the other day."
Doctor House, coaxing out the truth by slamming the patient like Paul Muad'Dib slams the desert to coax out the sandworms. It just works
House MD is one of my FAVORITE shows!! And you’re right, he’s horrible with patients, not the best with people in general, but I’d love to have that mad man as my doctor 😂😂
I love Dr. House & although he’s unconventional I definitely think he’s a good doctor. I mean he really does everything he can to save his patients. I would rather have him as a doctor than someone else who doesn’t take me seriously.
One of the episode he either to choose to let the baby die but the baby grab his or the surgeon hands. That episode was awesome.
@@monrey5698 scrubs did it first
He is actually a really bad doctor. He makes 100 wrong diagnosis, 20 unapproved and useless tests, only to figure it out at the end of the episode, even tho he could've figure it out at the beginning if he just talked to the patient and asked about their history.
Also, they find stuff at the end of the episodes that they should've found at the beginning when they were doin an MRI that is literally made to show the thing. Lile a tumor or parasyte. They do an mri, they find nothing, at the end of the episode they find something....with another MRI....make it make sense
@@Shermy203don't even get me started on how he talks to children I mean the way he speaks to everyone is horrible but if kids are involved it makes me rage so much
No he isn’t he’s actually a terrible doctor. Someone already said it but he makes so many misdiagnosis. He’ll throw out 100 different diseases except the one that’s correct. He matches all the symptoms but the one disease that fits exactly he never gets until the very end. The cia episode they bring in a different doctor who literally correctly identifies the disease first try. House says he’s wrong goes do a bunch of test all of them fail and almost kills the patient. Only for the end that the doctors first diagnosis was completely correct it was a nut poisoning.
He's just a direct dr. No beating around the bush. And goes to such lengths to base root what cause the patient's illness. I like him as a doctor.
Doctorally; YES! I'd want him as my Dr any day! He never gives up until he finds the answers! I love it!
Nice, doc! Not a *single* 0-10 rating on THREE attempts 😜
Dr. Mike's arithmetic knowledge: -2 😉
@@luisaleman9512 not required to play one on TV... er... TH-cam 🤣
Just heavily min-maxed
Because some things were too good to be limited to a 0-10 scale. If 0-10 is the normal percieved notion of "non-existent" to "a leader in medicine", his knowledge is beyond that and his attitude is beyond just neutral, so negative works!
Hey, He’s good at medicine, you want someone who’s good at numbers, call a mathematician, a physicist or an astronomer.
This deserved a somewhat longer video :-D
Great for consults. Terrible for care.
I honestly don't care about bedside manner if the doctor, or any professional is good at their job. Had a surgeon remove my eye... he had the bedside manner of a shard of glass. Was brilliant and precise.
I’d see Dr. House while he was high as a freaking kite before I’d see anyone else! Except for you, of course, Dr. Mike! 😁💕✌🏼
Ur higher than a kite
@Red Devil Raspberry 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice save there xd
I mean, it's Dr. Mike, after all...
0:34 I wouldn't count the drugs against House. He has a well-documented chronic pain condition, and the only reason he has to go to any kind of length to get pain meds is because of anti-addiction measures that arguably do more harm than good. The breaking in tho, I agree with you on that.
And everyone's solution to his pain condition is Get Off The Drugs! How will that help? My father wasn't on the drugs. He just took it out on us. And then later he drank. That didn't make it better for us.
Thank you! I came to look for someone who said this. He is on opioids because he needs them. We shouldn't hold it against him, just like we shouldn't hold it against any other doctor if they take medication.
Most of the time when he breaks into places he is trying to find things that may cause illness that the patient may not be upfront about.
He wants to be in pain, he thinks being a worse person makes him a better doctor (methadone episode)
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with medicating. If the alternative is pain so bad, you can't walk or stand.
Even while on Vicodin, he at times is still in intense pain.
He's the doctor you do NOT want unless you have a rare, life-threatening condition that no other doctor can figure out.
When my ma was in med school in the early 2000s the professors told her to watch it so to show how doctors need to think outside the box
He's the guy you call when the best doctors fail. As a consultant-ish, I'd say he's good at it.
I love House too much. Currently rewatching for the fourth time 😅
I've always thought of his bedside manner as an "sneaky, invisible 10". Won't make you comfortable emotionally, but when it's essential, he'll make sure you hear everything you want and need to hear.
For me that’s the kind of doctor I want. Just super efficient. I don’t care if he do drugs, I don’t care if he calls me whatever, if the dude knows perfectly what do I have and how to treat it. That’s my doctor right there.
i like the fact that he’s brutally honest.he doesn’t hold back .he says whatever is on his mind.
I’ve been accused of that! LOL!!!
Praying to find a “House” to figure out what my husband’s condition is. He can start with the melanoma, and move on to the E. Coli and gut issues, then yell at him for drinking himself stupid.
I’d still want him
I would want him as my doctor, 100%. Having a nice doctor who misdiagnoses you is DANGEROUS, and too much focus is put on bedside manner nowadays, rather than knowledge and troubleshooting ability.
Follow-up question: Do hospitals really have staff like Dr.s House or Strange? Ie specifically kept around for their superhuman skill at (diagnostics/surgery) and otherwise kept as far away from patients as humanly possible?
Yes. Some hospitals do.
More strange than house, but yes.
Usually house types are good to patients and bad to everyone else. Especially med students.
As House himself once said, "Would you rather have a doctor who holds your hand while you die, or a doctor who ignores you while saving your life?"
I guess it would particularly suck to have a doctor who ignores you while you die.
Honestly, I like house and I’m not kind of person who doesn’t like people who have a sarcastic attitude or anything like that but I like him he gets to the point he doesn’t give any bullshit. He doesn’t try to tiptoe around diagnosis is and even though I understand some doctors tiptoe around the diagnosis to try and protect the patient’s feelings it’s kind of better to just see what’s wrong and how it’s treatable or if it’s treatable at all.❤
I recently saw a specialist who is; e of the kindest, most sociable people you'll ever meet. And who made a very basic error that caused a potentially life-threatening complication, who never showed any signs of accountability in the matter. Give me House any day.
House MD have the best ending a series could have. It was so unexpected and i did not regret watching all seasons.
This
Agreed! House and M.A.S.H are probably some of the best show ending of all time.
Hands down though still my all time favorite show. I've watched it more times than I'm willing to say. Lol. Love Huge Laurie as an actor and just all around human being. I wish it still came on. 😞
I still want him as my doctor period lol, if it's simple he'll fix me and I'll be outta there faster than I can say "what?" And if it's rare I'm likely to survive
I love how he didn’t rate once on e actual 1-10 scale. He either went over or under not normal.
Knowledge was pretty much the only factor relevant to “medical ability”.
And accusing patients of lying is only a bad thing if it isn’t true. It was almost all the time 😂
If he had good ethics and bedside manner we wouldn't enjoy house as much.
I'd give him a 1 for bedside manners, because if things come to worst he actually was there sometimes and comforted his patients. But of course, on the rarest occasions.
House MD is one of the most under rated shows when coming in discussion for all time great shows.
"I'd still want him as my doctor if I had a rare condition."
Lol that's the entire premise of the show! 🤣
Seeing him in House for the first time was amazing having only known Hugh Laurie from Blackadder but the accent took a while to get used to.
I also love his approach to helping patients as it being more of a puzzle to him that he wants to solve.
Like the basis of his character, Holmes only took on cases that piqued his interests and honestly, having a physician like that on call would be amazing. Being that physician would be even more amazing. You reserve the right to deny patients and refer them out unless their case was intriguing enough or perplexing enough for you to take on.
Fun fact: When I was going through labour complications with my youngest, the doctor accused me of lying about my waters breaking to get induced at 38 weeks, saying my baby could still be very unwell.
Even though I'd been admitted to that hospital over 6 times since 16 weeks over contractions that - luckily, as nobody took them seriously - stopped on their own. (They weren't Braxton Hicks.)
This was even after the ultrasound showed reduced fluids around the baby. During the AROM, barely any fluids came out and after my kid had been born, she didn't apologise or take responsibility for what she'd said, but she did at least say she was glad we'd induced because of the lack of fluids during the AROM.
Like... Maybe you shouldn't have accused me of lying to begin with?!
I know it's a TV show, but his bedside manner reminds me of hers, tbh.
Leaving aside the character for a bit, Hugh Laurie is a legend and is the perfect one for the character. Even the change of his accent from a thick British to American is uncanny.
"Do you prefer a Doctor that hold your hands while you die or a Doctor that ignores you while saving your life."
-Dr. House
You were a lot more generous than my ratings. We both agree he's a 12/10 for medical knowledge. I rate his behavior a -2000, and ethics a -4000. And the crazy thing is, I would also take him as a doctor any day. He's just that good.
Even after all these years, I'd love to see an alternate timeline/universe where they made a crossover between Dr. House and Dr. Murphy
