I think in terms of the show House is the head of "Diagnostic Medicine", he's essentially trained in several specialties so he can work in multiple departments.
@@ScanningTheMind the hospital they work at is also a free clinic that does walk-ins, so I assume that they have doctors do basic GP stuff and referrals for those patients if they're not busy. Idk if that's an actual thing, maybe just in the states? All of the main characters who are specialists in different fields, have those GP ish duties. They call it clinic hours in the show
5:16 the self-surgery thing always reminds me of Leonid Rogozov, a soviet physician who took part in an Antarctic expedition. He found out that he had appendicitis and because he was the only doctor there and there was no option of extraction, he was forced to perform an appendectomy on himself, which he did succesfully.
I see I'm late to the party, but... The thing to remember about House is he's Sherlock Holmes. There's the deductive abilities and the abrasive personality, but he also lives at 221B and his best friend's initials are JW. Because of that, House has a tendency to do whatever he wants, assuming that he's right and will be able to get away with it.
Just to correct you, Sherlock Holmes doesn't have an abrasive personality. He's quite gentlemanly, and kind. He's not necessarily super nice, but he's not a prick either, like how BBC depicted him in the Sherlock TV Show. Essentially, he can read the room, and respond accordingly rather well.
I would love to have a doctor who knows what he is doing and tells the truth. Would also like a pet unicorn who lays golden eggs. Don't expect to find either one soon.
5:00 I read of one doctor removed Lipoma from himself, he did that a lot of times for others, but when he did for himself, something went wrong, and he good some blood infection and died.

The definition of a parasite is something that lives off it's host. So... technically... yes, a fetus would qualify as a parasite. And I think that House was just trying to convince her to keep the baby by any means.
He did not try to convince her to keep it. He mentioned that she's too late for it to be legal. He said it's legal to "up to a month" and that she however is "due in about 5 months"!

Nope! As he said, he saw the scar of the birth control implant on her arm. That's what that was abour! Also not all breasts change, no arm lifting would help with that and to see "change" he'd need to know the patient but he does not.
House has been seen to operate at least once, on a patient with CIPA who has a 7.6m long tape worm in her intestines. Though is it technically surgery if you don't know the patient out first?
That part where house was ragging on that guy for his tattoo at least his tattoos probably better than mine a cousin of mine was in the pen and he learned how to give prison tattoos I have one on my right shoulder not sure what it means but it's on my shoulder
Yeah little love adamant to this comment I found out what my tattoo means and I'm getting it removed apparently it's a white supremacist tattoo because my cousin's an a******
House *can* operate. Just like any doctor *can* operate. Its just he's not a surgeon so he leaves it to surgical except for minor operations and extreme circumstances. Example he autopsies a dead baby himself rather than leaving it to the specialists because the baby died from an outbreak of disease and House is the infectious disease specialist, making him feel responsible. And the times he does operate he's looking for something specific and he still has a full surgical team with him.
Any doctor can operate in the sense you can train most people to operate- in reality most doctors are not trained to operate and wouldn’t even know how to tie a basic suture 😂 I suppose anything is possible from House though
@@ScanningTheMind basically he's good enough for certain procedures. He's head of diagnostics so he can assist with surgeries and in one case it was experimental so he ran the show, he still had proper surgeons in the room to do the majority of the work while he mainly ordered everyone around since he knows what they are looking for. Dudes head of diagnostic medicine and his team's the entire department. Gotta have his feet wet in multiple fields of medicine. But normally he'd leave it to the specialists, since that knowledge of medicine doesn't translate to he's a specialist. Example Foreman is a neurosurgeon that works in the diagnostics department. Another example once he is reasonably sure its cancer he gets Wilson involved. One notable case was a rape victim that he wanted nothing to do with because while he has dual specialties in diagnostics and infectious disease, neither of those qualify him to treat the emotional trauma of a rape victim in any capacity.
@@Skyte100 bro you seem like you are a house expert- any recommendations for which episodes you want us to react to? I love house, but in real life medicine no way do things run like this 🤣
@@ScanningTheMind hmm. Season 1 episode 4 and season 1 episode 19 involve an outbreak of infectious disease.

Season 3 episode 18 involves a possible outbreak of disease on a plane House is on.
In some sense it is easier to describe the relationship between the foetus and the mother as parasitic in nature. Then again neither term is applicable by strict definition of either term. Neoplasm is excluded by the fact the growth is by no means "abnormal" as this is an entirely normal growth occurring within the organ that is adapted to function as the support for the same. Parasite is also excluded by definition too though since it is defined as an organism that survives at the cost of a host of a different species, this explicitly rules out an intraspecific pregnancy ie a normal pregnancy or even a surrogate pregnancy with an embryo of the same species. Although a interspecific pregnancy; which would require xenotransplantation of an embryo from a different species; would meet that definition of a parasite I guess. Well actually things of that nature do occur in nature mostly by insects that traumatically implant eggs or larva under the skin rather than into the reproductive tract see parasitic wasps for example, although you might want to skip that further reading if you are squeamish.
I have heard it described as a fierce fight for.resources whilst staying within the soe that can be delivered. I am not certain whether that is parasitism
Oh man, I’m late to the party. But there was a case of a man who fell from either a ladder or the roof of a house and landed on a young tree that did in fact go up his backside, just not cleanly at all. He survived.
Dr. House is the type of doctor that I wish personally all GP's were like. A bit unprofessional for the sake of his own amusement, unafraid of bending a few rules to make sure a correct diagnosis is given, short and blunt responses with a tinge of tasteful sarcasm. Sure maybe not a GP that's as calloused as House, but that brutal honesty is a virtue in medicine.
I like your chemistry. You guys are very pleasant to watch. (edit... oops- this last bit is redundant.) Dr. House is a diagnostician. He is "Head of Diagnostic Medicine" at a teaching hospital.
I don't know what the situation is in the UK, but when my children were born in the American state of Maryland, the law required a paternity test on the newborn. So I am objectively sure both of my children are mine, and even more sure since my son looks exactly like me and my daughter looks like a picture of my great-aunt from 1920.
That’s mad - so every child born in Maryland gets a paternity test done at birth?! Definitely not a thing here in the UK! I’m now imagining all the really awkward conversations health care professionals have to have with new parents 😂
@@ScanningTheMind Yep. I remember my wife looking at the results and going "oh there's a surprise." Actually Maryland had a lot of illegitimate births and they wanted to make sure they understood who the father was so they could find him financially responsible. It really wasn't done out of any sense of compassion or human decency.
Paternity tests should be required. Just knowing it would be tested would reduce false paternity cases. And DNA testing in multiple studies has shown unacceptably high rates of false paternity (in all class strata and even in highly religious groups). It also stops one man from fathering a bunch of children and avoiding financial responsibility.
@@macmcleod1188 eventhough I agree with your conclusion your facts aren't correct. A metastudy from 2005 on paternal discrepancy looked at 17 studies and found a Median of 3.7% of paternal discrepancy. The often cited study with a rate of 30 % looked at cases where paternity was being disputed i.e. there was enough reason for potential fathers to distrust their partner. It is therefore to be suspected that the rate is significantly higher than the rate looking at all births. Eventhough paternity fraud is fairly rare the impact is so devastating that mandatory testing at birth is justified.
@@gnommg Um.. You *don't* consider a *3.7%* discrepancy unacceptable? What the hell, man!?! Given the legal and financial consequences, I consider anything over 1 per 10,000 to be unacceptable. And I think many people would consider anything over 0.5% unacceptable.
I haven't checked every comment, but House does actually operate on someone in Season 2 Episode 21! The best two-part episodes of any show I've ever seen
I did a course with the ambulance service, I noticed that paramedic instructor in charge had a swollen abdomen. I didn't say anything in case she was just fat. Three weeks later she discovered that she was 6 months pregnant. She hadn't worked it out.
I have successfully operated on my ingrown toenails for years… yeah I know I should have them permanently removed but I like my toenails … I just sit on the leg until my foot is good and numb and go at it.. it’s not pretty but it doesn’t hurt as bad as you’d think!
12:44 actually iirc we do see house operate but I think because of his bad leg he avoids it also, he is a "diagnostician" which I believe is a made up specialization. But basically he is responsible for diagnosing cases other specialists failed to solve.
What is with the music? Is your dialogue copyrighted, or are you trying to make sure the people at the next table don't eavesdrop on your conversation?
That's not the point. The not ethical part is to advice a patient to fake official documents and betray partners. Just imagine what mess that is for any kids when it blows up later cause due to medical conditions bloodwork is done and they find out. It's not ethical to cheat and betray and encourage said things. His confidentiality by the way does technically not apply to crimes.
Not met any adult who hasn't been vaccinated? I didn't get many vaccinations as a child as I had measles, mumps and rubella as a child before the vaccinations were commonly available. I did have a polio one. I am 64. I still remember how bad I felt.
Real talk, if you're going into medicine and think of House as a role model, try to stick with the research/technical side of things and inflict your presence on the patients as little as possible.
normally writers do their research ad talk to the actual people who do the job to get them as close to the real thing 60% of the time it is right but we must always remember it is for entertainment not education
I know someone that isnt vaccinated, the daughter of my brother in law, her mother refused and my BiL tried via court, they denied. They were already divorced before my niece turned 1.
@14:25 it may not be ethical, and if I would be the guy, I would like to know. But isn't that basically the patient's decision? And you can't tell him because of doctor-patient confidentiality, no?
15:20 Two random internet doctors make alarming distinction that HOUSE IS VERY MUCH UNETHICAL IN HIS OVERALL PRACTICE OF MEDICINE The rest of the world figured that out after about 2 minutes.
13:15 those stories are the result of intense denial .. people don't want to accept being pregnant .. therefor they aren't ... untill the baby is there
about the vaccination thing, i read somewhere of a way to combat the logic with even more ridiculous logic. and yeah, it's primarily an american mindset. method of approach to refusing vaccinations: "have you considered that anti-vaccination is a foriegn propaganda intended to weaken the population?"
Unvaccinated people in the U.S. tend to be in closed communities. Vaccination is required to attend public school (and most private schools) but isn't required in home-schooling and off books religious schooling. Rates are also dropping as the horrors of polio and other diseases are fading from public awareness. P.S. I just realized you guys are in UK. In the U.S. , "public" schools are free schooling available to all citizens (as long as they are vaccinated).
@Cranky Grandma sort of... the waiver allows the states to ban the student from school during outbreaks. From the Texas site: "Each parent or guardian who signs a vaccine exemption affidavit form also is acknowledging they understand that their child may be excluded from school attendance in times of emergency or epidemic declared by the Texas Commissioner of Health." Of course, the way it worked in practice was all the kids got sick, took it home, and all the parents got sick. Because the diseases move much faster that a state organization can move.
@Cranky Grandma and if you look at the child deaths per state at the kaiser foundation you can see child death rates per 100,000 citizens are much higher in any anti vax states . Mississippi is 32 child deaths per 100,000 citizens. California is 12.5 child deaths per 100,000 citizens.
Actually, the show is fairly accurate. The inaccuracy is in the rate of rare cases. Many of the shows come from a journal of rare cases and they did have a doctor on staff checking accuracy. However, in a choice between drama and medical accuracy, they always went with drama. After a while it started to be so formulaic that college students had drinking games around it. Many of the "inaccuracies" are also set up (paid for) in universe. He's the head of diagnostic medicine so he gets the rare cases and has a large staff. And in the early seasons, we were shown and told that the patients had gone through several other doctors who failed before they came to House. After a while they dropped that (probably because it was repetitive and took 1 or 2 minutes of their 42 minutes to tell the story). However, it's no where near as accurate as Scrubs. That show is amazing.

Nice stuff lads
Thanks 🙏🏾
Aww, I wanted to see your reaction to the joke at the end of the pregnancy scene
haha maybe in the next House reaction video!
in the show Cuddy literally made up a diagnostics department just for house
I guess house is also a great show to see examples of what not to do if you wanna avoid medical malpractice 😅😅
12:10 I would've expected him to call a pregnancy a "neoplasm", not a "parasite"...
In some sense it is easier to describe the relationship between the foetus and the mother as parasitic in nature. Then again neither term is applicable by strict definition of either term. Neoplasm is excluded by the fact the growth is by no means "abnormal" as this is an entirely normal growth occurring within the organ that is adapted to function as the support for the same. Parasite is also excluded by definition too though since it is defined as an organism that survives at the cost of a host of a different species, this explicitly rules out an intraspecific pregnancy ie a normal pregnancy or even a surrogate pregnancy with an embryo of the same species. Although a interspecific pregnancy; which would require xenotransplantation of an embryo from a different species; would meet that definition of a parasite I guess. Well actually things of that nature do occur in nature mostly by insects that traumatically implant eggs or larva under the skin rather than into the reproductive tract see parasitic wasps for example, although you might want to skip that further reading if you are squeamish.
I have heard it described as a fierce fight for.resources whilst staying within the soe that can be delivered. I am not certain whether that is parasitism
Oh man, I’m late to the party. But there was a case of a man who fell from either a ladder or the roof of a house and landed on a young tree that did in fact go up his backside, just not cleanly at all. He survived.
board-certified diagnostician with a double specialty in infectious disease and nephrology."
Dr. House is the type of doctor that I wish personally all GP's were like. A bit unprofessional for the sake of his own amusement, unafraid of bending a few rules to make sure a correct diagnosis is given, short and blunt responses with a tinge of tasteful sarcasm. Sure maybe not a GP that's as calloused as House, but that brutal honesty is a virtue in medicine.
I like your chemistry. You guys are very pleasant to watch. (edit... oops- this last bit is redundant.) Dr. House is a diagnostician. He is "Head of Diagnostic Medicine" at a teaching hospital.
"It is unethical"! No it is America. It is legal as long as you don't get sued! And if you do get sued, higher a better law firm and counter sue!
And that's why America has such a shitty health care system
This looks like it's written by somebody who doesn't live in America.
Rewatching house right now, I'm not medical guy but he's the head of diagnostics so I'm guessing he's a diagnostician
Interesting! All Drs are “diagnosticians” though- diagnosis is just the first step in treating a patient! He is VERY good at it though…
I don't know what the situation is in the UK, but when my children were born in the American state of Maryland, the law required a paternity test on the newborn. So I am objectively sure both of my children are mine, and even more sure since my son looks exactly like me and my daughter looks like a picture of my great-aunt from 1920.
That’s mad - so every child born in Maryland gets a paternity test done at birth?!
Definitely not a thing here in the UK! I’m now imagining all the really awkward conversations health care professionals have to have with new parents 😂
@@ScanningTheMind Yep. I remember my wife looking at the results and going "oh there's a surprise."
Actually Maryland had a lot of illegitimate births and they wanted to make sure they understood who the father was so they could find him financially responsible. It really wasn't done out of any sense of compassion or human decency.
Paternity tests should be required. Just knowing it would be tested would reduce false paternity cases. And DNA testing in multiple studies has shown unacceptably high rates of false paternity (in all class strata and even in highly religious groups). It also stops one man from fathering a bunch of children and avoiding financial responsibility.
@@macmcleod1188 eventhough I agree with your conclusion your facts aren't correct. A metastudy from 2005 on paternal discrepancy looked at 17 studies and found a Median of 3.7% of paternal discrepancy. The often cited study with a rate of 30 % looked at cases where paternity was being disputed i.e. there was enough reason for potential fathers to distrust their partner. It is therefore to be suspected that the rate is significantly higher than the rate looking at all births.
Eventhough paternity fraud is fairly rare the impact is so devastating that mandatory testing at birth is justified.
@@gnommg Um.. You *don't* consider a *3.7%* discrepancy unacceptable? What the hell, man!?!
Given the legal and financial consequences, I consider anything over 1 per 10,000 to be unacceptable. And I think many people would consider anything over 0.5% unacceptable.
I haven't checked every comment, but House does actually operate on someone in Season 2 Episode 21! The best two-part episodes of any show I've ever seen
Please do "The Knick"
I did a course with the ambulance service, I noticed that paramedic instructor in charge had a swollen abdomen. I didn't say anything in case she was just fat. Three weeks later she discovered that she was 6 months pregnant. She hadn't worked it out.
So, the name of the Channel is British Doctors???
Where are they????
What do you mean? Sanchit and Varun are the most British names I've ever heard
I have successfully operated on my ingrown toenails for years… yeah I know I should have them permanently removed but I like my toenails … I just sit on the leg until my foot is good and numb and go at it.. it’s not pretty but it doesn’t hurt as bad as you’d think!
Well, I would just hope it was consensual... some people may lie because something bad may have happened.
12:44 actually iirc we do see house operate
but I think because of his bad leg he avoids it
also, he is a "diagnostician" which I believe is a made up specialization. But basically he is responsible for diagnosing cases other specialists failed to solve.
In the US they dont need chaperones for opposite sex doctors. I guess as a precaution, but ive never had one.
What still sticks out is Dr House doesn't know how to use a walking cane.
He does, he just likes using it his way
9:24 more eloquently ?
What is with the music? Is your dialogue copyrighted, or are you trying to make sure the people at the next table don't eavesdrop on your conversation?
you would love seeing house trip a patient then give him a paralytic while hes in excruciating pain. also the pills are Vicodin
I'm just here to tell you two that you're absolute cuties 💕
😂😂 Thank you! Nothing on Dr Chase though…
house can do operations , but standing hurts his leg and he has the authority to tell someone else to do it so he does
well this is house, Unethical is his middle name.
You guys are hilarious to watch this with!!!
14:20 I’m confused, it’s not ethical? But doesn’t she have doctor patient confidentiality? Legally he CAN’T tell the husband right?
That's not the point. The not ethical part is to advice a patient to fake official documents and betray partners. Just imagine what mess that is for any kids when it blows up later cause due to medical conditions bloodwork is done and they find out. It's not ethical to cheat and betray and encourage said things. His confidentiality by the way does technically not apply to crimes.
Not met any adult who hasn't been vaccinated? I didn't get many vaccinations as a child as I had measles, mumps and rubella as a child before the vaccinations were commonly available. I did have a polio one. I am 64.
I still remember how bad I felt.
He was doing general work as a punishment, normally he works in his area of expertise.
It's the not getting caught...
Here in the states they can't refuse to see you just because you sued them
Real talk, if you're going into medicine and think of House as a role model, try to stick with the research/technical side of things and inflict your presence on the patients as little as possible.
What is wrong with the audio during the clips? Like a bad phone connection.
14:10 not ethical, but highly common
normally writers do their research ad talk to the actual people who do the job to get them as close to the real thing 60% of the time it is right but we must always remember it is for entertainment not education
I know someone that isnt vaccinated, the daughter of my brother in law, her mother refused and my BiL tried via court, they denied. They were already divorced before my niece turned 1.
I thought ethical standards usually require you to *not* tell someone your patient's secrets?
Nothing patient identifiable- which we take very seriously.
@@ScanningTheMind Right. So wouldn't the ethical thing be *not* to tell the husband his wife cheated on him?
Haha, House does what he wants!
What a time to be alive wherein UA-cam and Tiktok is laiden with HOT doctors
@14:25 it may not be ethical, and if I would be the guy, I would like to know.
But isn't that basically the patient's decision? And you can't tell him because of doctor-patient confidentiality, no?
Ok one question.... What accent is that ?
House is British in real life
My kinda doc.
He does surgery in several episodes.
14:29 Why unethical? He's just advising her how to best manage the situation...
You shall not advise people to fake official documents and betray others!
In France, it's actually illegal for men to get a paternity test.
What that says about the infidelity of French women, I do not want to say.
The whole core concept of this show is that House is NOT ethical xD
Pointing it out is the very definition of "redundant".
15:20 Two random internet doctors make alarming distinction that HOUSE IS VERY MUCH UNETHICAL IN HIS OVERALL PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
The rest of the world figured that out after about 2 minutes.
Medical ethics are a little bit like Star Trek's "Prime Directive"...
13:15 those stories are the result of intense denial .. people don't want to accept being pregnant .. therefor they aren't ... untill the baby is there
about the vaccination thing, i read somewhere of a way to combat the logic with even more ridiculous logic. and yeah, it's primarily an american mindset.
method of approach to refusing vaccinations: "have you considered that anti-vaccination is a foriegn propaganda intended to weaken the population?"
Needs more unskiable ads . . .
A lot of STD cases House hated
Turn down the background music
House is a nephrologist I think!
He must be suffering from kidney failure, cos he has no filter.
Double specialty. Nephrology and infectious disease.
Ethics can be situational…. Im gen x fight me
In America people operating in themselves is common
Unvaccinated people in the U.S. tend to be in closed communities. Vaccination is required to attend public school (and most private schools) but isn't required in home-schooling and off books religious schooling.
Rates are also dropping as the horrors of polio and other diseases are fading from public awareness.
P.S. I just realized you guys are in UK. In the U.S. , "public" schools are free schooling available to all citizens (as long as they are vaccinated).
Vaccination is not required in all public schools if the parents have an objection due to ethical or religious grounds. Depends on the state.
@Cranky Grandma sort of... the waiver allows the states to ban the student from school during outbreaks.
From the Texas site: "Each parent or guardian who signs a vaccine exemption affidavit form also is acknowledging they understand that their child may be excluded from school attendance in times of emergency or epidemic declared by the Texas Commissioner of Health."
Of course, the way it worked in practice was all the kids got sick, took it home, and all the parents got sick. Because the diseases move much faster that a state organization can move.
@Cranky Grandma and if you look at the child deaths per state at the kaiser foundation you can see child death rates per 100,000 citizens are much higher in any anti vax states .
Mississippi is 32 child deaths per 100,000 citizens. California is 12.5 child deaths per 100,000 citizens.
House is a drama-comedy. No one believes anything in the show is realistic. It's meant to be absurd.
I thought it was a docu-drama
Actualy ? No you're wrong.
Actually, the show is fairly accurate. The inaccuracy is in the rate of rare cases. Many of the shows come from a journal of rare cases and they did have a doctor on staff checking accuracy.
However, in a choice between drama and medical accuracy, they always went with drama. After a while it started to be so formulaic that college students had drinking games around it.
Many of the "inaccuracies" are also set up (paid for) in universe. He's the head of diagnostic medicine so he gets the rare cases and has a large staff. And in the early seasons, we were shown and told that the patients had gone through several other doctors who failed before they came to House. After a while they dropped that (probably because it was repetitive and took 1 or 2 minutes of their 42 minutes to tell the story).
However, it's no where near as accurate as Scrubs. That show is amazing.
My general doctor retired some years ago. He was ALOT like House. He spoke with sarcasm, cuss words etc. God I miss him
You guys twins?
