The only reason we give house a break is because he's saving lives while he makes people miserable, but in his mind it's all justified. Tritter was designed to be exact same way, hence why he even said "Everybody lies".

[@AntifaareFascists-zv6xk]

5:40 watch Tritter ask the question. He inflected with intention to get a jarred answer. It happens all the time. "Can you prove that?" "Oh, you think I can't." The thing is, Tritter said "do you have?" That's a question of a present or absent characteristic. He specifically inflected because he knew House's response before he said it."I CAN-" is a statement of capability, not characteristic. A statement of capability is not a statement of current any standing. "This isn't because I was speeding-" again, just by letting House talk, Tritter is able to do the majority of his job. The director put the six most important words there for a reason "anything you say can and will-" It's was placed there for a reason. House did absolutely ZERO detective work himself as we've seen sniff out fakes, fraudsters and the occasional woman that is cashing in before losing her benefits. He chose not to see it and Tritter saw ever detail with ease. So much so, if the viewer is honest, they know they saw it too. You get pulled on at 40 in a 25, do you open with a joke about how it's not about the law you were just breaking? No, we don't want to admit it because we love House but there's some part of him that's not only delusional but downright stupid compared to your average citizen. It's based around the otherworldly quality of arrogance he has. Yes arrogance can be bad but it's not bad when it's right. Tritter just so happened to prove it this point. He's in the right, House is in the wrong and it's the arrogance of both men the have been flipped vertically. House is no longer making strides, he's making confessions and Tritter went from pin cushion to pin in that same time. I think Tritter is a poor parallel translation for House, solely because House exists as the focus. If we saw Tritter outsmart House into talking more, He'd be a great parallel but House does most of the talking as far as Tritter's "case" is concerned. I think he could have been fleshed out more for the parallel but here's the thing, eventually it turns into Mario and Luigi on 8 bit. Remember the whole carbon copy, girl action movie wave that happened a few years back? You could tell before the trailer ended, yea, it's one of those. I think that was avoided intentionally between House and Tritter. Yes, seeing a close approximation is actually quite nice when done correctly. Like banter between our main interest and themselves about the thing that makes you love them in the first place. Like your pup looking at you intentionally adorably, maybe you can't prove it but it feels like they're doing that just for you. I don't think there's a way to represent a House type character that has an opposing position in an honest way because the House type character is your main character. Whoever their opposition will definitionally be a background character that's been brought up without the long and arduous explanation our main hero has shown to us. Most basically "that's MY purse, I don't know you." It's very hard to look at the opposition and see a direct opponent. Either above, potentially life destroying, or below, hilariously life affirming.

Oh the old House vs Tritter debate? House is brilliant, arrogant and an addict with no respect for rules. In reality he'd be wreaking more havoc than good. I'd know I'm a doctor. Tritter is an entitled bully who's got no compunction using his power and authority to bend the law. House uses his intellect. Tritter, his authority. But that's not the scary part. The scary part is that there are many many more cops liker Tritter out there than there are doctors like House.

It's pointless to try to think what would happen to House in reality. He's fictional levels of genius, a literally Sherlock Holmes of medicine.

Granted House could just let it go as well and said sorry and not mean it but knowing the kind of guy Tritter was im sure he wouldn't have let it go at that. He literally used his power as a cop to track House down and give him a ticket as an excuse to ruin his life to get even/ teach him a lesson which is the most self rightoes bullshit anyone can ask for from a cop.

well, while house does technically go against the hypocratic oath (for instance there was a case where he goaded a patient to punching him, giving him license to fight back and rupture an inner growth), but at the same time he actually uses "harm" to force the patient into a place of submission so he can do what he does best (in the case of the ruptured growth, doing so allowed the hospital to keep him there and have him undergo surgery for not only the man, but the mans son as well who was suffering immediately from the issue he also had)

It doesn't take an idiot to realize that some people with depression hide behind passive aggresive and surreal jokes. In fact it takes a rather smart individual to understand What house does. The only thing that remains is, House is not a bully. He is depressed. Treating people like crap is what he does best, but behind every salty word and remark is a bitter yet caring individual. He may even tell you that he cares about nothing in a smartass sort of way, but it's because he has nothing to care for. its the simple and yet not so simple case of the "school bully". Kid may have issues making friends, being mean. But it truly takes walking in his shoes to realise why he is frustrated or taking it out on others. Life at home is where it hits the hardest.

The problem with Tritter isn't that he's corrupt, it's that he's a hypocrite who doesn't own up to the fact that he's corrupt. He lies to himself by claiming he's doing what he does because House's antics will lead to a patient's death, despite the fact that House saves his patient's lives all the time. It was when Tritter cut off his Vicodin supply that House became a worse Doctor, which was Tritter's fault. He wanted to do the right thing but he made everything worse, not only did he start the fight by tripping House, but has the audacity to try to convince people that he's the good guy. He was meant to serve as a parallel to House but lacked House's charm, morality, and intellect.

On top of that, House didn't even bother to get Tritter tested for his concerns and instead just diagnosed him from sight because House has a God complex and doesn't care about his mistakes. House didn't have any empathy for Tritter whatsoever, so how can people expect Tritter to have any empathy for House. In a real hospital, House would be fired very quickly for constantly breaking procedures and treating patients like dirt, no matter how good he is.
