Finally saw this show for the first time ever last night and I loved it! 👍

You and I are in the same posisition. Last night was the first time I saw it and it was great. The dream where Dr. House cut his toe off was odd, looked a little painful too.

I joined the House Fan Club halfway through the season, so seeing these "repeats" are new to me. Loving it. Actually, in these older episodes, the characters and their interactions are a bit different than they were later in the season. Or maybe that's just me...but, my boyfriend called me (he's on a business trip so it'd be rude not to answer 😛 ) while they were figuring out the 16 yr olds medical condition...I heard he was adopted (was that significant in any way?) and it looked like he had some sort of viral infection in the brain...what was the Dx?

thanks!

Let me try; I was also on the phonwe periodically.
yes he was adopted. His birth mom never had the measles vaccine and in a rare case it caused the virus to affect his brain.

Someone else feel in the missing pieces in more detail.

Yeah thats basically what I cought, I was helping someone with chemistry, they originally thought it was MS and then Dr. House took a sample of DNA from a cup the parents had drank out of. Then they determined he adopted from the DNA test. They did a radionuclide scan( cant remember what the results were) then later determined it was a virus that had made its way to his brain. Then the went in and sucked it out or something, cant remember the very end.

What was the name of the disease that guy had in today's show? Did anybody catch the name?

Why in the world would you bump a 2 year old thread just to say that?!

The few episodes I've seen were pretty terrible. The other doctors "under house's wing" or whatever are so laughably inept, compared to house. It was a running theme in the episodes I saw; House is the only doctor that can solve mysteries, while the rest of the doctors can't even tie their shoes. There was one I remember: The other doctors suck so much at being doctors that they basically had to condone and facilitate his drug addiction, just so he would bless them with his diagnoses.

The season finale should be House getting punched in the beak by someone just as smart as him (I really hate his attitude), and then losing his job to him. Awful show, sorry.

i think house is a great show. the first couple times i thought it sucked.

i'm afraid it's taking a turn for the worse with the cameron-chase love affair. probably the show's producers decided a DR. SHOW without SEX just couldn't sustain itself any longer. too bad.

For some reason I've lost interest during this third season. I don't know...something changed, I don't think it's that good/funny anymore.

The thing that I find funny about the show is that the doctors on it do everything. They read mri scans, they do procedures in the heart and in the brain, they do colonoscopies and endoscopies. They diagnose infectious diseases, genetic diseases and congenital diseases. They preform all their own lab and blood work. They break into people's houses. Its like they are all specialists in everything. No doctor performs that many procedures and is a specialist in that many things. The only thing that can't seem to handle is cancer and luckily they have Wilson for that.

Despite all this I love the show. Its not really what medicine is but it is a darn good drama.

 

[cleothecat]

He is technically a brilliant doctor, but he has terrible bedside manners.

Anybody out there ever hear of Marcus Welby? Now that was a real physician!

 

[MSTPDad]

Marcus Welby was OK, but he was no Dr. Kildare or Ben Casey.

It's the same in CSI. The CSI guys interview the subjects, collect the evidence, carry guns, analyze the evidence, etc.

That being said, I watch the show for entertainment, not for its realism, or lack thereof. You can't "fault" a show for being unrealistic when it isn't being advertised as a documentary. It is a prime-time DRAMA.
