Dr. House

Looking back on a very well-known TV series: The TV series House, doctor of medicine, created by David Shore, and his un¬usual medical cases doesn’t correspond to reality, for the series is at times greatly exaggerated and overdrawn, – for television cer¬tainly it has to be!
However, the symptoms of the illness and the complaints, described by the patients, are realistic, well researched and often correspond to what we expe-rience, hear and can see in everyday clinical practice! –
Well, what is there to be surprised about? – Let’s be honest: do you want to look like Dr. House with a strange three-day beard? He was wandering around a golf course on Sundays when he injured his leg or had a heart attack! Afterwards he needed strong painkillers like Vicodin – and a walking stick!
House, M.D. gives the impression of a cynical and misanthropic doctor, a physician who hasn’t got a wife and doesn’t want a wife either, for he is enough for himself! House, M.D. doesn’t really care about the people entrusted to him; a cynic, an atheist and an enemy of religion! Today people like to say ‘agnostic’, but this is no different from an atheist in its purest form! – He has always been indifferent to people, too; all that matters to him is the revelation of his acumen and his medical and diagnostic reputation. – We can do without people like that and prefer to avoid them. The only ingenious thing may be the scene where he thwarts his superior once by telling her that he doesn't have to be in bondage to her; she admits that she can't fire him because of his dazzling reputation at the clinic!
Well, aren't we judged by how we treat people? I think so!
