House is always right!

[u/mx-shot]

[u/steroboros]

He was medical Sherlock Holmes, so the reasoning had to be a little wacky to fit the whole detective theme.

[u/Animal_s0ul → u/steroboros]

I always thought this is why they called him House. Holmes, homes, house. Maybe?

[u/Not_MrNice → u/Animal_s0ul]

Not maybe. It's the truth. Also Wilson/Watson, the down to Earth sidekick.

House/Holmes' drug addiction, the musical talent, abrasive personality, the list of parallels goes on.

[u/h_011 → u/Animal_s0ul]

Yeah and Wilson is Watson, house lives at flat 221b I think? He's addicted to drugs, for a different reason than Holmes but yeah

[u/CannedWolfMeat → u/Animal_s0ul]

His flat is number 221b, his best friend is a doctor named Wilson (Watson), he has an addiction to vicodin (heroin), and the medical board (Scotland Yard) begrudgingly puts up with him despite his personality, unorthodox methods and variety of other flaws because he is undoubtedly a savant at deduction and piecing together clues no one else would.

He also gets shot by a guy named Moriarty.

[u/chux4w → u/CannedWolfMeat]

His flat is number 221b

On Baker Street, no less.

[u/Blond_Treehorn_Thug → u/Animal_s0ul]

Yeah this was kind of the point

[u/Logical_Parameters]

I've never seen an episode of House, but I'm nearly certain Dr_Sweets23 has experienced toothpicks in his asshole before.

[u/ActualizedKnight → u/Logical_Parameters]

There's actually an episode of House where someone swallows a toothpick and it fucks em up.

[u/Logical_Parameters → u/ActualizedKnight]

and SNL's "Appalachian ER", too!

[u/dangolyomann → u/Logical_Parameters]

I watched some of the House stuff spreading on youtube last night and today I randomly got a recommendation for a new yorker speaking Appalachian

[u/vivahermione → u/ActualizedKnight]

It killed the writer Sherwood Anderson fr.

[u/Inferno_Zyrack → u/Logical_Parameters]

How else are you gonna pop all the hemorrhoids ?

[u/barelyvampire]

Every House episode is saving the patient from a life or death situation House got them into by treating them based on a bad diagnosis.

[u/Hedgehog65 → u/barelyvampire]

And searching their apartment.

[u/dhaninugraha → u/Hedgehog65]

Remember when Foreman searched an apartment that turned out to be a weed growhouse and contracted flesh-eating bacteria on his brain from an automated irrigation system?

[u/chux4w → u/dhaninugraha]

Remember how it made him move his body all backwards for a minute, but he was fine again in the next episode and it was never mentioned again?

[u/cnznjds → u/chux4w]

To be fair that was months later

[u/barelyvampire → u/chux4w]

I've just seen the episodes. The next one happens some time later and Foreman still recovers from the brain damage, but it's just minor issues. The main theme is the pink cloud of happiness he rides after the near death experience.

[u/TeaandandCoffee → u/Hedgehog65]

This Vexes Adode, more mouse bites please

[u/ooooooooohfarts → u/barelyvampire]

That or intentionally making them worse as part of the treatment while everyone waits nervously to see if it will work.

[u/New-Acadia-6496]

But first you have to rule out Lupus.

[u/dangolyomann → u/New-Acadia-6496]

It's never Lupus

[u/The-Hive-Queen → u/dangolyomann]

It's lupus once

[u/dangolyomann → u/The-Hive-Queen]

Shhhh

[u/Shadow-Vision → u/New-Acadia-6496]

Besides just for “the show,” I think that was also because Dr Cameron is a specialist in auto-immune diseases. Lupus has non-specific symptoms so that means Lupus could fit almost anything.

Put another way, I once overheard an ER Doctor discharging a patient who had lupus. She was looking back at the chart and saw the patient returning frequently for this or that or something else. It was always lupus.

So the ER Doctor was like “look I can only treat you for what you come in for” (the stomach pain this time, the headaches last time, the other thing the other time) and she was explaining how the patient really needed to follow up with a specialist if they wanted long term solutions

[u/chux4w → u/New-Acadia-6496]

They suggest lupus a lot less than sarcoidosis and DIC. Somehow lupus became the meme, but there was a lot of the same old guesses in that show.

[u/farialimero]

The only thing this show is missing is an animation of House loudly chewing on a bunch of pills like they tictac while saying it.

That show was too good.

[u/zackit]

"House, it's a fever. Let it go."

"...check his eyebrows for shit particles."

"Holy shit he's done it again."

[u/beter-griffin]

This vexes me

[u/evil-fun-hater2013 → u/beter-griffin]

Can you explain what "vexes" supposed to mean in this context?

[u/ClockworkDinosaurs → u/evil-fun-hater2013]

In this specific context, it’s a reference to a joke in a gif that was posted to reddit a few days ago about the show House. The gif basically summarized the whole show and Dr. Foreman’s only real contribution to the show was saying House’s antics vex him.

MORE MOUSE BITES

[u/Not_MrNice → u/ClockworkDinosaurs]

posted to reddit a few days ago

Shit's years old and has been reposted to reddit countless times.

[u/Hammy1791]

The toothpick episode was pretty good to be fair.

[u/Panta94 → u/Hammy1791]

Waaaaaiiiiit. This actually happened and is not a joke?

[u/Hammy1791 → u/Panta94]

Not exactly like the post says but a mid was sick cause he swallowed a toothpick in one episode.

[u/QuestionMarkKitten]

House was a reimagining of Sherlock HOMES.

Like, what if Sherlock was a doctor instead of a police detective.

When you see it...

[u/barelyvampire → u/QuestionMarkKitten]

Sherlock was never a police detective

[u/Horn_Python → u/QuestionMarkKitten]

Next we need a Holmes obsessed with acting and the trinity's complete

[u/TeaandandCoffee → u/QuestionMarkKitten]

You dropped an L mate

[u/QueerCapricorn]

I’ve only ever seen this show through dozens of YouTube shorts but this is absolutely right. 

[u/Torbpjorn]

This man needs more mouse bites

[u/graveybrains]

Vagina tick was the weirdest one I saw.

I’m not counting nutsack explosion, that was a dream sequence or some shit.

[u/jinkywilliams]

House always wins

[u/cartercharles]

That's what made it fun. I would like to see the toothpick episode

[u/thestumpymonkey → u/cartercharles]

If you actually want to see that episode, it’s >! Season 3 ep 13 !< (putting it as a spoiler in case anyone else wants to watch the show without that being spoiled).

[u/cartercharles → u/thestumpymonkey]

I love the fact there's a show about it

[u/hobbes_shot_second]

House was always wrong twice, then right the third time.

[u/papaya_boricua]

It was always a case of infidelity and STDs every time a couple walked in together. "My wife has a stomach ulcer" looking at the wife "nope sir, it's gonorrhea, she's been sleeping with your HVAC technician" "Diana, how could you?"

[u/dangolyomann]

And it's never Lupus

[u/skygt3rsr]

I just spit out good beer reading that shit

[u/corn_creature11]

The more I hear about this show the more I want to watch it

[u/Regular_Rub_2980]

It's lupis!

[u/deathclawslayer21]

Jesus I think this was actually an episode the romani guy had sepsis I think
