Doctor Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a sorry character but a terrific diagnostician.  In almost every episode someone is on the brink of death from an elusive illness when House’s “light bulb” goes on and, in a flash, he saves the patient’s life by proving himself to being the world’s best medical detective. Doc Hollywood??? Dr. Lisa Sanders is watching 3,000 miles away in New Haven, Connecticut where she teaches first and second year med students at Yale how to learn to be House-type medical detectives – but much more respectful ones. She is like that herself. She’s so good at it she writes a medical column fo...

Big blockbuster drugs like Lipitor are going off patent and the industry leaders don’t have new blockbusters showing promise to replace them. So the big companies search for little companies with new discoveries and they consider buying them. Industry observers think the days of $5 billion-a-year drugs to lower cholesterol or control diabetes may be past for awhile, and the companies will have smaller hits with new compounds for autoimmune conditions and cancer. When I saw my oncologist for a checkup yesterday — the news was good — we chatted about the article and the trend toward “niche science.” We welcomed it. We didn’t think — from our perspective — the wor...

From Grey’s Anatomy to House now and Marcus Welby, MD, a generation or two ago, medical dramas are often a popular genre. Sometimes, these shows are quite helpful because, particularly these days, they may tackle health issues that were generally not discussed in public. But, as a nurse and former first aid instructor, I often watch and catch something – shouting out “That’s NOT the way you do it. Unfortunately, my husband is the one who gets to hear that and he’s getting less and less amused every time I do it. For sure, medical shows are getting better about being realistic. But even with their medical advisers, they still get some things wrong – and it’s frustrating from my point of view and maybe d...

Hilarious. All they forgot was the seizures. Why is it that there is at least ONE seizure per episode of House. SA Doc tells me it's a lot more exciting than real life. Even the Baragwanath pit.

I didn’t think I would ever see House, M.D. in a publication: Medical paternalism in House M.D. Mark R Wicclair, Center for Bioethics and Health Law, University of Pittsburgh The popular television series House M.D. is drawn upon to provide a critical examination of medical paternalism and how it is presented in the show. Dr Gregory House, the character named in the title of the series, is a paradigm of a paternalistic physician. He believes that he knows what is best for his patients, and he repeatedly disregards their wishes in order to diagnose and treat their illnesses. This paper examines several examples of medical paternalism and the means used to portray it favourably in the series. It is argued that the pos...

We selected two excerpts from the television show House, and one from Gray’s Anatomy and featured them in conjunction with a brief didactic presentation of the Kalamazoo consensus statement on doctor-patient communication. Our residents indicated that their understanding of an evidence-based model of effective communication such as the Kalamazoo model, and their comfort levels in applying such model in clinical practice increased significantly. Furthermore, residents’ understandin...

Headline is a tad sensationalist. But it's an interesting CNN news clip on just how real the medical mysteries of House MD are.My favourite bit... Chances are Gregory House wouldn't be employed for long. Damn straight. But I wouldn't mind dipping into his Vicodin bin from time to time :) (Source: All Scrubbed Up) All Scrubbed Up blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=833309 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:48:00 +0100 833309 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=832487&cid=t_144230_88_f&fid=34729&url=http%3A%2F%2Fallscrubbedup.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F08%2Fall-about-house-1-hugh-laurie-audition.html House Season 3 is in full swing in South Africa - and we're hooked.
