For those who didn't get it House is just sherlock Holmes in a medicinal setting.
His friend is Wilson instead of Watson.
He is a genius, eccentric who solves mysteries using his intellect and deduction, hell he even uses drugs just like Holmes.
If you've dealt with real doctors, you know that is high fantasy.
Same way as Holmes is high fantasy to real detectives, what's your point?
It's a TV show, if it wasn't fictional it would be incredibly boring.
Disagree, there was a '90s show called Trauma: Life in the ER that was the real shizz. The namby-pambies ruined it. Ack, real blood!
My dad's last doctor was visibly drunk all the time and would unashamedly scroll through my dad's computer records during the appointment to figure out who he was talking to and what his problems were. And of course my dad loved this guy.
The difference being most doctors do that before consultation begins, not during.
At least the guy was honest.
House/Homes/Holmes
Abode
Cuddy has A body
What she keeps in her closet is none of House's business
Holmes on homes.
That's an idea. Sherlock Holmes, but he uses his powers of deduction to renovate and flip houses on a new reality show set in rural Brittain.
Which is funny because Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on a real life doctor who used deductions. It comes full circle!
That doctor that inspired Sherlock Holmes was based on a fella named Sean Combs.
And Doyle got the inspiration for Holmes from watching doctors diagnose patients
Wow he must be very rich.
My doctor's appointments more closely resemble Oliver Twist.
it's abduction he uses, not deduction.
He doesn't start with a set of potential conclusions and knock them down one by one as he gathers evidence - no, he instead jumps from one extreme thread of intrigue to another, never quite abandoning an idea even if the evidence points otherwise. The universe then apparently conspires to prove him right on credence alone
So you're telling me that he's actually a reality warper instead of a genius doctor?
I actually think so, yeah
He also lives at the same address: 221B Baker Street.
Plus, there's a bunch more.
