Christmas At Tritters | House M.D..

He has been in 2 other films I have seen, each character played amazingly. They are The Rock and The Green Mile.

Cheap Pinoy very true

[@Crowald]

It's not about Tritter's actor. He's good, definitely good. But it's not just that. While he does sell the self-righteous asshole role he plays, ultimately it's his fundamental misunderstanding of addiction and pain management which makes me hate him. He has likely never spent a day in his life in as much pain as House deals with, yet he seems to think that he understands the ins and outs of addiction like he's went through it himself, but he hasn't. He's only ever seen it from the outside, and when he sees House, he sees a vendetta. He's a narcissistic manchild just like House is, and on its own, that doesn't really piss me off. What pisses me off is that he thinks he's better than House, and he isn't. Tritter is obviously dedicated to his job, just like House is. Where House sees a case that interests him, though, Tritter sees suspects who he can hunt down relentlessly. House saves people while often costing them an important aspect of their life, be it social, political, romantic, or sometimes even all of those; but the end result is usually the best one can hope for if their case reaches House: they get treatment, and they live. Tritter probably has done good on other cases, probably put dangerous people away. But as the judge said in the final bout between the two, House wasn't flooding the streets with narcotics. He chose this as a personal mission to persecute House because he saw tendencies that he probably saw in his family, long before. House does his job out of principal. Tritter was only chasing down House out of pure spite.

There's no legal barrier preventing doctors from writing a script for themselves. House can just say he wrote it.

[@katie-st8nx]

Daniel Broderick but he takes insanely high doses so they would have proof he's stoned, he takes like 80mg

[@danielbroderick7609]

katelyn ast Being high isn't illegal, and tolerance is a perfectly acceptable excuse. And doctors are technically able to provide a "verbal script". Meaning, they can just ask a pharmacist for something, and it would technically be legal. This is considered highly unprofessional, discouraged, and rarely done, but it is legal nonetheless. Furthermore, fraud isn't fraud if you specifically have the person's permission. So even if House was proven to have written a script using Wilson's name, Wilson could say he okayed it, but was currently unavailable, so house wrote it.

[@katie-st8nx]

Daniel Broderick being impaired while driving and providing medical care are completely illigal

[@nateo200]

80mg of Hydrocodone is not a lot for those with a tolerance. They make 80mg OxyContin tablets and it has to do with physical tolerance. "Stoned" is a relative standard. Me on a high dose of Hydrocodone is completely different than you on a high dose of Hydrocodone because I've been on narcs for years for legitimate pain. If you wanted to prove impairment you'd have to pull the patients entire medical history, the duration, strength, type, etc. of the narcotic, and breaks, etc. to really prove it to the point of being impaired. It is very difficult to prosecute impaired driving cases when people are on prescription drugs alone but usually things like them hitting a telephone pole are obvious indicators along with numerous other substances like alcohol and marijuana.

[@nateo200]

Exactly. Lets say someone has a prn script for Xanax or some sleeping pill. Even if it wasn't an as needed script it is similar to one having a bottle of whiskey 3/4th's full because they have a taste sometimes but are not intoxicated or otherwise seriously impaired.

I'm probably one of the few people that liked Tritter's character. Davis Morse did a good job playing him.

[@scottmatheson3346]

Your faith in the justice system is touching.

[@Orion-yd4dy]

To do that, he would’ve had to reveal what Tritter had against him. The case would’ve been turned over to a different detective, who would not care for forcing House to humiliate himself in exchange for leniency, and would just simply throw the book at him. Tritter gets his hands slapped and House gets 10 years in prison for Drug Trafficking. Bad End.

[@Baykko]

@@Orion-yd4dy exactly. Everyone here is throwing around the word "abuse of power". Like Tritter entered Houses place without an order and then arrested him or something. Tritter was simply picking on the crumbs that House was leaving around. If Tritter had really wanted to destroy house he would have shared all the information with his department, yet he kept trying to have House give up and acknowledge he was being a jerk, but then House would do something more stupid and make things worse. I'm sure that outside of this situation Tritter is actually a good cop.

[@henrypeters5291]

@@Baykko It may not have been abuse of power all the way through, but it was at the beginning. Don't forget, he first got House over a trumped up driving while intoxicated charge, then held me without an intent of charging him so they could search his place. He also forced the hospital to cut back on prescribing pills, even though the problem was just one doctor and tried to blackmail Foreman into ratting on House. Also, cutting off Wilson, Cameron, and Foreman's accounts when they latter two hadn't even prescribed anything to House ever was just absurd. Tritter went on a giant fishing expedition.

Everybody seems to be so upset with Tritter. I think he's a wonderful compliment to the season - raw, cold, and calculating. Quite like House himself really, in many different aspects. Yet it seems like the conflict is only because people don't want House to have any conflicts without a quick ending to the fight with House winning.

Yeah, I really get annoyed when people hate on Tritter when he's not doing anything that House hasn't done the entire series. The only difference is framing.

Tritter seems to have sold himself on the idea that he has some public interest agenda in mind, whether you agree with him or not.

He does what he does as if he's doing it for the greater good, to save people from House's snide and sarcastic remarks. But really he's just doing it because he wants to get back at House for those that are done on him. He felt disrespected. He is petty. He has this smug look on his face whenever he got one over House, as if gloating at him. It's funny how he's speaking of standing up and dealing with a bully by means of.. bullying. I suspect he's been waiting his whole life to get this opportunity, this excuse to be a bully himself, to abuse his power and gratify over dominating another person. It must be especially rewarding for him to dominate someone like House.

[@sarizonana]

holohulolo Tritter And Vogler we’re both evil two guys abusing power claiming they were fighting for the greater good, both huge hypocrites. The only reason Vogler is slightly more tolerable is because he was easier to get rid off. Cuddy and the board were the ones who decided who they preferred to have. Tritter had absolute power to do whatever he wanted with Cuddy being helpless. Well she later found a way to save House from going to jail but The Reason we hate Tritter more than Vogler is because Tritter had more power. Since House is based on Sherlock Holmes I see Tritter and Vogler As the Moriarty of the series, maybe David Shore couldn’t keep one through The Whole show so he gave House two different enemies to represent Sherlock’s biggest enemy.

That's the thing about Tritter. Whether you think that he's right or not depends on how you viewed the very first incident between him and House. Tritter believes that House is in the wrong and that he's the man of justice. The issue here lies with the fact that House DID diagnose him based on what he observed, something that many doctors do. When House made to leave, Tritter tripped him, hence the first bullet. It was only after that moment did House strike back and stick a thermometer up the man's ass. Tritter believes that House is the bully, and to a certain extent, he's right, House is a bully, but not to Tritter. Tritter is literally what every bully is, he tries to force House into doing something he wanted, and when House retaliated, he became vindictive and kept going after everyone around House until he forces House into doing what he doesn't want to do.

[@Joshpower57]

No, youre wrong. Rewatch it. Tritter changes his tone with house when he takes the vicodin and sees house as an addict because of it. Everyone believes this has to do with power, but its legitimately because tritter things addicts are a danger to society. He kicks his cane after that. He list all respect for house and considered him an addict. Once he did the most basic of detective work he realized house was being covered for by everyone and his addiction was a ticking timebomb, which it was.

I don't. Drug addiction is a medical problem, not a criminal one, regardless of what the BS laws say. The whole antagonism between them started when the cop took out his anger about clinic wait times out on House (who wasn't in control of it), and when he didn't like how House responded to it, decided to trip a cripple by kicking out his cane. House's addiction does cause problems, sure, but it's the hospital's call as to whether he's fit enough to practice, and frankly, no-one without a medical degree has any buisness telling a chronic pain patient that they shouldn't be taking meds. The cop needs to stick to crimes that actually have a victim, rather than abusing an unjust law to go after someone for a personal grudge (which actually, should have excluded him from working on any case involving House in the first place). House is a criminal (technically), an ass, and an addict that needs help, but Tritter is the menace to society.

[@fresnelfringe4736]

You've got a case of good script poisoning.

[@LunaBeth97]

As someone who also lives with chronic pain, Tritter hits way too close to home by using house's pain meds to manipulate him. The thing is that it's completely pointless to force someone into recovery because it never sticks if the person doesn't want it. I could write a book on this scenario and how it is reflected in the real world/ how things have progressed since its creation but I don't wanna😂

[@americanenigma_5108]

It was so Satisfying House didn’t give in and folded in front of Tritter coz he was Abusing his power without any remorse , House was an ass to him but not with evil intentions , he did it because tritter insisted on useless procedure even though house told him he doesn’t have it and he kicked his cane just coz he couldn’t stand House treating him like a nobody , Tritter was just an Ass who didn’t care about Right and wrong , that’s simply horrible and truly evil

[@sarizonana]

American Enigma _ I agree, couldn’t say it better and even though House suffered a lot through this process at the end he won over Tritter

[@nicholasbury5994]

I don't think Tritter was that evil, but very proud. Remember how hard house resisted that rich guy from season 1 even though the rich guy offered so much money to the hospital. It was because house simply despises being controlled. Cuddy even says it one point that you don't control house, you manage him. I think humiliating Twitter is like trying to control house. You make an instant enemy. I think Tritter would have qualified as evil if he planted evidence. As it stands he simply had to wait for house to screw up so that he could catch him breaking the law.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

What a load... House is a drugged up sociopath whose addicted to painkillers and only is competent because of it thanks to writer contrivance solely devised to make it so. He totally has been scarfing down pain pills like meth while actively working at a hospital...and yes that is a criminal crime...becasue you're knowingly putting people's life at danger willingly... again the only reason house's drugged up nature hasn't caused a death or screwed up too big is because the writers write it that way... actual addicts in multiple jobs often will eventually self destruct, screw up and suffer from their addictions as it impacts their jobs and lives... only in fictional tv show can this be not true. Second House, commits crimes and or beaks the law whenever he feels like it, such as actual forgery, fraud (like when he told a patient and her fiance that she was pregnant by rare self conception, even forging fake documents when she actually cheated, just to win a bet) etc. Police can actually detect forgery, if Wilson lied under oath and committed perjury he would lose his license and would face nearly 5 years in prison. House is a sociopath so of course he didn't care about putting Wilson in danger he only wanted to get away from his reckoning so he could keep his painkillers... ps. house's limp is totally fake and mental, he's not really a cripple, his mind just sees it that way to keep his pills... as Tritter says, addicts are addicts and they're predicable. That's how he nailed House for scooping up a dead man's prescription for himself...again through fraud and forgery.

[@dbongoloid9541]

I see a few people blaming house for this whole situation/being the bully. This is a case of circumstances. 1: neither house or tritter knew eachother, tritter didnt know house is the best doctor in diagnostics, so something simple didnt need to be tested. House didnt know tritter was a detective. 2: both house and tritter have huge egos. Gregory house, is literally an anagram for "huge ego, sorry". tritter probably had a huge ego because of how many cases he has solved. 3: tritter instigated this whole situation because he tripped house by kicking his cane, house fueled the situation by using his home field advantage. 4: tritter being a bully with a badge pulls house over because he assumed house had narcotics on him, being able to cause house the problems he did. House knew the judge would have thrown the case out as soon as house gave the judge his medical history and a few testimonies from co workers and patients. Thats why he told wilson it was done and over with when wilson bailed him out. 5: tritter just had to be the one who won so he starts investigating house waiting for him to slip up. Cuddy knew what the whole thing was over and to keep her self image safe she started vicodin blocking house. Instead of just writing him prescriptions until houses court case was over. So house had to forge a prescription for himself, letting tritter get what he needed to not need anyone of houses co workers to testify against him. Which is why cuddy finally lied on the stand and the judge threw out the charge because she knows that house wasnt selling, he was using for his leg pain. This whole situation would have been avoided if house left the exam room and asked for another doctor for conflict of interest.

Especially as someone who's dealt with chronic pain for more years now than I care to count (hoo boy I have NEVER related MORE to a television character in my life than Gregory House), there are multiple aspects of this whole Tritter plot line during season 3 that bothered me on a logic level, and one of them is this "forged scripts" thing that's (at least at first) so central as evidence to Tritter's case. Because House may very well have easy access to steal Wilson's pad and has little to no moral quandry of writing out extra prescriptions for himself... where would he be filling them? That is, he couldn't be getting everything at the same pharmacy, the people working there would see the math doesn't add up and he's taking way too much. But even aside from that, it seems a fair assumption he'd be using his medical insurance to fill them, and even if he went around to different pharmacies, it would essentially render the same result. The computers would notice he's not anywhere even close to needing a new prescription yet, and he'd be flagged. Actually, even if he went to a different pharmacy and convinced them he was a non-insurance, cash paying patient, that could STILL happen. Of course, this is allllllll beside the fact of the most glaring drop of logic of all. House is a man in his late 40s, about whom it's understood will need to be on pain medication for a long time, possibly the rest of his life. The LAST thing in the world he'd be on is regular 5mg Vicodin (or at least that by itself, with massive quantities of it). Even back in 2004 when this show debuted, he would almost certainly be on a regiment of two 12 hour, extended release-version pills a day (OxyContin, or MSContin, basically the Morphine equivalent), with then a certain amount of immediate release oxycodone pills per day for "breakthrough pain", the point being they don't have any Tylenol in them. The Tylenol is what causes the sustained damage to the liver far more than anything else. That's why many chronic pain patients are on some combo of what I've described, leaving Tylenol (acetomenaphin) out of the mix entirely. But, I know, I know... it's just a TV show, suspension of disbelieve and all lol (plus as I've seen creator David Shore say in interviews, when they decided he was going to be on painkillers, the network was fine with, and even preferred he be on Vicodin, because that was a known brand name, and they could get sponsorship).
