My wife had chronic kidney stones for years. Damaged one of her kidneys. Docs kept telling her to drink more water. 100 ounces a day and she still got the stones. I got involved when we started dating and she ended up with a specialist in our town. The guy was a complete asshole on a good day but a brilliant doctor. Tackled her problem right away. Ran all sorts of tests and couldn’t find anything wrong. Final conclusion was it was her thyroid and he needed to do an exploratory surgery. Found a tumor hidden on her parathyroid. Took it out and she hasn’t had a stone since. The doctor went after the problem like it was personal when everyone else checked boxes. I’ll take a brilliant asshole any day over a polite moron.

I had an orthopedic surgeon who was an artist with his knife putting my wrist back together. But his bedside manner made House look like a gentle nun. He tolerated NO self pity nothing. Listen to him and he didn't want to hear what you had to say... I remember laughing when he was working with me telling me to bend my wrist 90 degrees a couple days after fixing it then grabbing my arm and hand and bending it himself as I was only going 80 degrees and telling me you better do this every day as much as you can or it will never bend like that again...and you will have arthritis in 10 years so essentially get over it. I had researched him before the operation online and his patient reviews were horrible (bedside manner) but apparently his clinical outcomes were great. After the initial pain, I laughed and he said why are you laughing? I told him about the reviews and how I didn't care and I would do what he said...and thanked him for even being able to bend it like that so soon after surgery... and said, I don't care and kind of like it as ALL I care about is your outcomes. He stared at me a couple of seconds and said, come back see me in six weeks. I did, he was less...beligerant, I told him I'd been doing what he said, I showed him, he moved it around asked how it felt and thanked me and that might have even been a slight smile... HE KNEW what it was capable of and showed me in no uncertain terms what needed to be done... I still have essentially 100% use of the wrist...and no symptomatic arthritis as such 11 years later.

You become inured to it. I had to tell around a hundred people they had HIV/AIDS in the days before it was what has become basically a chronic disease. So, back when I was doing it in the early 90's, it was a death sentence. It was a very intense experience having to break the news. We fortunately had developed a relatively effective case management system at the state level so, I didn't have to just leave them. I'd call a case manager before I went and told the person and then while I was there helping them through the news, I'd call the case manager who would be on standby and observing HIPAA would hand the person over on the phone to the case manager and do what I called the handoff. I'd get a committment to go see the case manager who would set it up on the phone and fortunately toward the end, the new drugs were on the horizon in like 1994 so there was hope whereas in like 1989 there really wasn't. It was a very satisfying job helping others, but there was a certain getting "inured" to it all. People would ask, how do you do it and I'd say, Well, when I go home at night all of my problems are put in perspective. I really had no problems in perspective and most I did have were self imposed. You learn a great deal about human nature and yourself if you pay attention in a job like that. Now days, I guess I could be a Tic Toc influencer right? That is such an important job in the world. Honestly? Right now, My prediction is that the human race is pretty much screwed... I just hope you all hold it together long enough for me to "deplane" this reality... Enjoy...

Well, at least in this clinic they don't bounce you back and forth between doctors with different specialization and make pay consultation fees and others many many times while not prescribing anything and months later you still have no idea what's wrong or how to treat it while the bank is crying

[@anitagrzejdziak4336]

To all those people in comments calling the mother a „karen” i suggest to watch the whole episode. Edit: please guys chill in the replies and stop fighting. SPOILER ALERT! It’s in season one, in this short is the scene from the middle of this episode, he talked to her after about their third-fourth failed diagnosis, giving wrong treatment and nearly killing her son. In result she decided to refuse any other treatment and transfer her son to another hospital. Eventually after this talk she agreed to let the doctors try again - which resulted in another fail nearly killing her son again. In the end they saved her son like they always do in almost every episode of that season. Imagine you’re a mother and doctors treating your child fail to diagnose properly them and almost kill your child a few times worsening their symptoms. She was not in the wrong, she was just terrified of losing her son.

This is why House is one of the best protagonists in all of TV history. He's an a*s with absolutely no filter and he knows it. He doesn't care who he offends cause all he wants to do is his job, saving lives. And in my opinion, if you can save lives with an attitude like that, I'd say insulting an idiot or two is warranted.

This hits a little close to home for me. Back when I was 15 (I am now 55) I had a nose bleed so bad I had to go to the ER. As a precaution they had already crossed matched me for blood I was bleeding so bad when a so-called friend of my mother's showed up. My mother had gotten mixed up with JW and they believe the blood transfusions are the ultimate sin against god and it would be better to let me die than to sign the papers to allow them to give me blood. I overheard all of this. I was lucky they got the bleeding stopped when they did or I would not be here today as my stupid mother did not sign the papers. To her dying day I did not let her live it down that she did not sign that paper.

You do not realize the first thing they do is want to give blood. Even when alternatives are available.

(donor was a relative). For bleeding hemorrhoids. Blood count probably low and could have been treated to bring up. Patients autopsies in big city. 3 died a day from pulmonary edema from being given too much blood. Chief pathologist testified in court.

@@YaoiChan18 while I agree, wasn't this the episode that they had multiple trial and error treatments that didn't work, all while the son gets worse? And this treatment they guilted her to allow, almost ending up killing him too? On one hand yes people shouldn't completely disregard doctors. On the other hand, some allow their egos to lead their decisions and those doctors can be dangerous. Anyone who's watching a loved one go through countless ineffective procedures while continuing to get worse would naturally have a distrust of the medical system and the next procedure they recommend. Health crises carry Frustrations on both sides, not just medical professionals but also loved ones and the patients themselves. The best way to avoid this is to fully and empathetically explain and discuss it with them, but no one has time for that because the healthcare system doesn't have enough resources to spare even 5 minutes extra with understaffed personnel.

Cuddy has stated in canon that they have a fund specifically set aside for House, for legal fees, and that they ignore some of his less palatable aspects due to his brilliance. They literally have money set aside for extra insurance and legal fees because, while he’s a genius, he also comes with consequences and they’re self-aware of that. Somehow they manage to keep him toeing the line so he doesn’t lose his license, but admit that there can be backlash.

No doctor should ever be like House, that's a fact. But doctors should be more honest than they typically are, which makes House refreshing. To me the best part of his character is that he represents what many doctors are actually thinking.

Honesty would be more ideal, but I don’t think it would work. I can’t speak for other countries, but in the US, honesty is seriously hampered with the fear of being sued by every other patient. People can be very opinionated regardless if they are right or wrong.
