[@sarasamaletdin4574]

More like House is almost always eventually right like he said in No Reason. So the team challenging him for most of the episode is good and why they were hired (in addition of doing all practical stuff).

[@92brunod]

Meh, he's wrong like 4 out of 5 times per episode and most of those times his treatments would be deadly if someone didn't supervise/challenge him

I'll never forget the scene when Foreman mispronounces creatine as "kree-A-tin" A sounding like the A in apple.

[@rtarbinar]

actually, it was creatinine, so he pronounced it correctly. i saw one though where chase pronounced "amygdala" like it was queen amidala from star wars ep 1. xD

[@jirachiteaminstinct4310]

Foreman did mispronounce Phenytoin in one episode, where a patient was having a seizure. I actually take that medication for the same reason, so it was kinda amusing lol 😂

[@Dr.Phoenix]

You know what, we as medical professionals can also mess up terms frequently ... That's why we use unofficial names or acronyms like steth for stethoscope, bp machine for sphigmomanometer etc

[@nacinthewoods8464]

"Steth"? Never heard that one. 🙂 I carry my scope with me.

[@StuckUnderTheCovers]

Sphigmomanometer is someone sneezing while saying thermometer

Loved jennifer since House! Always so witty. :) pretty and adorable!

[@PurushaDesa]

I love Jennifer Morrison quickly exposing one of the show's flaws. I think I heard someone go SHH! In the show's defence, House isn't always right, and it helps that's a borderline psychotic who will eventually kill someone if they just let him do anything.

[@IrateWizrd]

To be fair, he's often wrong initially and works it out as the episode progresses

[@PurushaDesa]

Mitchell Gillett I like the bit when Foreman, who lost his sight, is feeling around for what his treatment might be, and there's like 8 different pills there cos House has decided to just treat him for everything.

[@jaypostsvideos4011]

House is literally always wrong for the first 35 minutes of the episode and finally gets it right in the last 5 minutes, so it's the team's job to keep him from total body raditating someone before finding the correct answer

1:40 i've been asking myself this question all the time...

[@ianghose1]

Bet Laurie and Spencer would go on discussing and bantering about 'the Ashes' on the sets, and no one else would've had a bloody clue about what was going on😉.

[@storm_invoker]

The fact that i used them to be experts in medicine and now seeing them admit that they know pretty much nothing kinda breaks my heart. Anyway, still one of my favourite shows 😊

[@BlueEyes-WhiteDrag0n]

If you are an "expert" in medicine. You'd have to crack entrance exam and for that you need an above average IQ. So if you are above average then you'd know that they are actors and don't know shit about medicine. In summary I don't think you're an "expert" in medicine unless you mean you know about all the abusive drugs you can get in your neighbourhood

[@zekelerossignol7590]

1:40 analytical thinking plus game theory on House's part, mind you in this day and age it should be possible to make a database in which someone could enter details about a patient's clinical presentation and test results to help make a more rapid diagnosis by trying to link it with other known conditions/case studies, or potentially ID ones new to science if the condition is rare/unusual.
