No thread about this show here? Can't believe it!
I have to admit as a guy with medical background: I am a huge fan of this show... (but I also liked the first seasons of Emergency Room and Third Watch)
My former cry2: ) girlfriend told me that I absolutely have to watch it. Of course my reply was "Yeaaahhh... right...." but I was force to watch and I liked it after the first five minutes.
Sometimes (actually: nearly episode) the medical stuff let's me grow grey hairs and now and then horrifies me. Not the whole diagnostic stuff and the cases (though some are really far-fetched) but the day to day stuff.
None of the doctors wears rubber gloves when examining or touching a patient. Injections of medication that is usually administered via IV is given intra-muscular and works *instantly*.
I do not want to continue this list or even rant about how they do CPR...
(Shockin' flatlines, as always... no heart compressions, no controlled breathing, just electroshocks..... )
But otherwise: A great show. Good characters, awesome and snappy dialogue. I can't really tell why exactly I like this show that much.
Maybe it is the characters and how they interact, especially the triple House - Wilson - Cuddy.
Maybe it is, because my father looks exactly like Hugh Laurie (the actor who play House).
My favourite characters are probably James Wilson (I kind of see a part of myself in that character) and Allison Cameron.
Even if you are not tooo much into that "hospital" genre of shows, check out "House M.D."
But, as I said, I also liked the first seasons of Emergency Room. (If you want a show that depicts how it is in the ER, watch "ER"! I should know, I've worked there!)
A few tidbits:
The person who plays James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) also played a role in "Dead Poets Society" (with Robin Williams). I unvoluntarily watched the movie recently and thought "Oh my god, it's Wilson!" all the time.
Lee R. Ermey, former US Marine Corps Drill Instructor and the infamous Drill Sarg from "Full Metall Jacket" plays House's father... a retired.... guess what? US Marine!
Lisa Edelstein (House's boss Dr. Cuddy) was celebrity ambassador of the American Red Cross.
Soooo! Watch the show!
Sorry if my post was a bit unstructured, but I've never introduced a show here before....
Anyone else watchin'?
