Not gonna lie, I hate the show House. I've watched the entire series multiple times but there's a lot do like about it, but the reason I have to hate it because the show creators said that they never wanted House to solve a case by the normal means. They wanted him to like run into their ex-gfs dog's brother that ate something through a story while he was berating her cheating because they stepped on his cane the wrong way. For me, it would be nice to solve a case through competency ... it always rubbed me the wrong way.
To be clear, this is subjective. Many people watched the shows and it made them wanna be nurses and doctors and it was their inspiration. So I'm definitely an outlier but it just gets me.
I’ve watched the entire series multiple times
Why?
I have absolutely no idea. I think it was one of the few shows on Amazon Prime. I think I enjoyed some of the interplay between the characters? The medicine stuff just made me hate it.
Wasn't his whole job to solve a case that the other doctors couldn't solve? When the average doctor's competency couldn't solve the case they'd turn it to House to use unconventional methods.
Agreed but the way it's solved isn't through a way that seems to make sense. It always feels contrived to me.
I've seen doctors react on YouTube and they were like, "why would you run this test, this other test would have shown that"
Let me be clear, I know my opinion isn't popular and it's all make-believe. I'm not saying my dislike for the show is rational.

Anyone who wants to watch this kind of crazy in Japanese, there’s a show called Doctor X.
There's also Ameku MD which is currently airing

Hey that's really reductionist and untrue. First they have to nearly kill him with the wrong diagnosis before landing on the right one.
House: Pops three Percocet let's amputate something
I think it was Vicodin.
Cameron: Wouldn't you like to see the case first?
House: Why? You'll just think it's allergies. Also, I'll never fuck you.

It’s never lupus, except for that time it was lupus.
I’ve only seen a couple episodes. Including the one where he discovered a patient has HIV because he couldn’t get rid of the hiccups. Thanks for the new fear!
expect when he was pretty transphobic, that wasn't cool...
He was generally an asshole to everyone, I think this actually makes him inclusive
I think the point of him is that he's in pain and also a giant asshole to almost everyone.
That episode would never fly today though.
Are you talking about the super model episode?
House says the perfect woman is a man. He's a chaser.
She wasn't trans, she was intersex.
There's another episode where a young boy is also intersex.
House treats both really shitty
He treats everyone really shitty. He's an equal opportunity asshole.
Sure, but misgendering someone because they have testicles is a whole other level of shitty.
