having never watched House and it was the funniest shit ever. we were just laughing the whole time. i love how he is supposed to be a sherlock genius but multiple times he will have one of those "stop in mid sentence slow zoom on the face oh my god he's had an epiphany" epiphanies and then the epiphany is wrong, and then the way he solves the case in the end is by magically also having exhaustive knowledge outside his field (parasitology this time). if that's what it is every time - "house has an additional degree he never mentioned" - i'm here for it
also i think it was much more fun to watch now, being in my mid thirties and having had to deal with shitty doctors - there is a new plausibility to things like "they found a lesion on her brain and then forgot about it", or "they had a gilmore-girls-rapid-fire-diagnosis-huddle just to arrive at do a contrast mri and redo her blood tests", or "the doctor is just a huge fucking asshole directly to the patient to the point he should 100% be fired". the most implausible thing might be that house avoids being fired because he's just so gosh darned good, when actually it would be because nobody in a position to fire him knows or cares
Also the patients don't care that he's an asshole because he actually pursued the problem instead of shrugging and giving them tylenol.
