I like how every patient gets a big room with huge windows and a team of doctors on call 24/7 and 12 medical tests done a day with no waiting. And no one ever talked about the bills.

Because people want to watch something that makes them feel good... Real life doesnt have beautiful doctors with perfect bodies, hair and makeup either. And the light is not turned down and romantic. Lols.

And I kind of like the story. Imagine if you actually had a genius doctor that would always be right. The hospital wouldnt fire him, or maybe they would, if they dont care if patients get better. In real life, maybe more money in keeping them sick.

Well, his is typically a one-case department. They talk about cutting his department or funding regularly because it is expensive. In the end, they always conclude he does more good than harm and let him keep abusing people to save a life here or there. I'm not saying anything of this is logical, ethical, or consistent with any reality I want to live in, I'm just saying they address a lot of this across the seasons.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's a fake drama without any basis in reality.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

100%, and I gotta say it was a great show. A little lacking in the last season or two but I loved the ending of the series overall.

i bet medical care is like that if you're rich

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago

There's a hospital near me that openly advertises that it has penthouse suites at the top that feel like swanky apartments. I've never asked about their cost.

Mood I was in the ER this weekend for a broken collarbone and saw one doctor and two nurses and Tylenol for the pain. I had to make my own follow up appt with an orthopedic doctor in network and I couldn't request my medical records to be forwarded to new office. Fuck healthcare cause 5 days after the break I finally got an opinion from a qualified doctor: NO SURGERY. Fml

the thing is they tamper with the queues to put themselves on top, and nobody says anything

Inaccurate. There was way more sexual harassment.

Also butt hole worms are one of the most common and enduring medical conditions in human history.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

enduring

I read this as endearing.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're right, I only love you for your butthole worms.

My wife, who as far as I know has none, is going to be devastated.

And random suffering inflicted upon the patient

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nah, not random. If they lied to Dr. House or withheld information, they deserve it (in his opinion).

Just finished rewatching it. That's basically it, but it's awesome nonetheless

[–] Dhs92@piefed.social 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hugh Laurie is an amazing actor. I watch the show as more of a character story than a medical show. Watching House's descent is just so intriguing to me

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

At the base of it, the characters are the driving aspect of the show and the episodic cases are just sort of there to drive interactions between the characters. I guess that might be how a lot of shows work though.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

House was never about the medicine.

It is about the anti-hero.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It was redressing Sherlock Holmes in a medical context.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Similar to the cocaine sniffing, freelance police character House is based on

Ironically, playing a doctor made the actor sick

Ewww, you just made me click the Daily Racist. I feel crap now.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 5 days ago

It literally has the name of the site in the link.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 week ago

Yeah the cases were fun and formulaic, but my favorite parts were seeing the moments House was confronted with his mental health. The guy cared a lot and had no idea how to deal with it.

[–] MagnusRobotFighter@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Amazing cure found in the last 5 minutes.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd really liked to have seen him be right on the first try more often to justify the ego.

It was a show that definitely followed a rigid format
