Yeah, I've been reading them for a while now, pretty cool to see it from a medical POV.

read them too.

House is a medical drama not a medical documentary.

They take poetic license so try not to be too critical of House episodes.

the only thing that's ever struck me as really ridiculous about House is why the hell does the hospital keep him? I mean, he's supposed to be all famous and whatnot, but you never seen him write anything for publication, give lectures, etc.

finally working here too, :)

I watch the show for the antics of House, with no expectations of it being a 100% accurate medical documentary on rare diseases.

Cool thanks! I always want to look up the medical terms afterwards, but not knowing how to spell half of the terms always makes it tough.

Episode is one of my favorites, House trapped on an airplane.

Cuddy: (closing her eyes) Photophobia! Symptom of Meningitis. We need antibiotics.

House: I'll call down to the pharmacy. (House smells Cuddy's hair, then her neck)

Cuddy: You're creeping me out.

House: Well, then get me a lab. (continues to smell her) Pseudomonas smell yeasty, Staph smells musty, and some liver diseases smell like ammonia. (he smells her groin)

Cuddy: House, I'm not in heat.

House: Citrusy on the nose, with a blush of toasted coconut. (Cuddy laughs)

House lifts up the hem of her shirt to examine her rash, which goes down past the waistband of her pants. He starts to unbutton them, but Cuddy stops him.

House: I need to get a better look at your rash.

Cuddy: Use your imagination.

House: Okay, should I go with Lifeguard Cuddy or Mother Superior Cuddy?

:laugh:

That show is awesome.

i used to hate it, because its so repetitive...but ive gotten hooked lately.

thing is, i can *not* re-watch most of the episodes, it can be a funny show, but i just cant watch it because theres not enough funny to sustain the drama and medical shit that i dont want to see again.

Every episode at exactly 10 minutes 'till, he has an epiphany.

You can set your fscking watch to it.
