Dr. House's Most Ridiculous Clinic Scenes

House MD is one of my favorite shows, and that's why I've reacted to so many episodes on this channel. That being said, the appeal of house isn't just the long and complicated cases he solves, but also the funny and bizarre encounters he has when working in the clinic. I've compiled some of House's strangest patient encounters in this reaction video! Today we talk about inhalers, asthma, old age, dentures, sleep walking, miscarriages, sleep studies, vaccines, birth control, and common colds. Which scenes from the show did I miss?

The scene where House reveals he speaks mandarin is great, because not only did he notice the physical symptoms of the lady, he understood everything she said but was playing along with the daughter wondering why she was translating wrongly. The "super depressed" might've give it away for the audience. Sometimes I wish there would be like a prequel series or a few episodes at least of young House, because I have the feeling that House's bedside manners became worse after what happened to his leg. He doesn't appreciate people that beat around the bush or try to diagnose themselves for righteous reasons due to how dangerous the outcome can be. The few patients that he treats nicely during clinic duty, like the pr0stitute (I think she was one), shows that he can be nice with people.

That clip ends with the woman storming out of the room without ever showing how House actually reacted to her: "do I look stupid?" display of using the inhaler as a perfume.

I'm glad to say I've had a gp that takes his patients seriously all my life. there was a year when I had like 3 middle ear infections, and the 3rd time I went to the doctor before it hurt badly (for me, a middle ear infection starts with a stiff jaw and a headache, then stinging in the ear that gradually gets worse), there was little more than an occasional sting yet. he looked into my ear and said he didn't see anything, I explained why I was so sure and he looked again. that time, he did spot the infection that I was right about, and prescribed me antibiotics :). to those who've never had a middle ear infection, as it progresses it starts feeling like someone stabbed a glowing hot knife into your ear and is twisting it. also, an untreated middle ear infection has a decent chance of damaging your hearing.

It's exact cause is still unknown but it has been diagnosed and treated many times.

[@lemaygaming6952]

I looked it up after that scene. While it is a real thing, it’s not the same as sleep walking and there’s never been a case where someone’s had Sexsommnia and sleep walking. It’s engaging in sexual activity with someone right beside you or yourself. Not walking downstairs to your ex-boyfriend and having sex. Also, how her ex-boyfriend didn’t know she was actually asleep is beyond me. She has a good case for accusing him of sexual assault.

After several weeks in the hospital and Copper IV infusions she made a recovery but to this day she is not 100% and probably never will be. My point is that come to find out the zinc in her teeth glue combined with her having malabsorption issues from stomach stapling over 30 years ago they think caused this. It’s something the nurses and doctors told her they would probably never see again in their careers. The nurses said they had never given a copper infusion before. She was so close to death that when she came back she doesn’t recall much. The memories she tells me from that time is a completely different reality.

...That would be the day I walk out of nursing school. 😐

@@odinfromcentr2 You have to be prepared for the fact that some people are really THAT DUMB. Like, I don't mean to be rude, but you have to be able to keep the inner "duhh" to yourself and patiently explain things. You'd honestly be surprised! You have to spell things out.

[@odinfromcentr2]

@@Sniffysmyboy That wouldn't be an issue if I were explaining it to small children. They're small children. Learning stuff *is* the job description. Adults... That's where my patience runs a bit dry for that. If you can't figure out that you're supposed to inhale what comes from your inhaler by the time you're 30, there's not a whole hell of a lot to be done to help you from where I sit. I commend you for the massive reserve of patience you must have not to Gibbs-slap that type.

I could watch you roast Dr House all day long, please do more of this!

[@SoniasWay]

It’s rare to find a combination of entertainment and knowledge that Dr. Mike provides us with

[@WolfRamAndHart]

Props to the nurse on the last Clinic clip 9:35 - Completely believable she couldn't have a poker straight face.

[@nicolethacker1702]

I love watching Doctor Mike reacting to House because he gets so angry!! 😂😂😂

[@TheOneTonHammer]

I love these videos. Watching you go up agianst the four medical advisers on the TV show that are listed in the credits is great fun. Ordering one test after another does not make a great doctor. Instead, a great doctor is smart and observant, has encyclopedic knowledge, has sound judgment and works relentlessly on the patient’s behalf. Remember, he solved the problems nobody else could. not bad for a diagnostic nephrologist with a specialty in infectious disease.

“I think this goes without saying- but strawberry jelly is not a birthcontrol option. Never thought I’d say that on this channel- but it’s not.” Never thought either 😭

No, every fool knows it has to be citrus jelly*. *JUST KIDDING!

Believe it or not, "sleep sex", aka sexsomnia, is a more common than most people would expect. In a small study of 832 people, 8% of them had symptoms of sexsomnia. Not to mention the other parasomnic disorders like sleep eating, sleep fighting and sleep drunkenness. I have sleep drunkenness episodes and they're awful, you feel like you're dreaming but you're partially experiencing reality AND you remember the whole thing the next day. It's like sleep walking but worse, and incredibly interesting
