I hate the show, but thanks for something geared towards those out of high school.
Or for those of us still in high school but with an IQ of over 70.
Or for those of us not even in high school yet that happen to like the show.
People in high school watch this show.
People with low intelligence watch this show.
This graph belongs on failblog.
Keep in mind… you were once in high school.
2nd, you stereotyping by saying “people with low intelligence watch this show,” proves that you’re just as immature as the high school kids, now doesn’t it?
3rd, you don’t have to have a “low intelligence” to enjoy House.
And for THAT comment, Sir… your FACE belong on failblog.
Saying “people with low intelligence watch this show” is a very different thing from saying that “ALL people who watch this show have low intelligence”.
Amen.
I must disagree. I watch the show and I wouldn’t say 124 is a low IQ.
It is compared to mine.
So? You want a medal or what? Just so you know, internet IQ tests are not accurate.
Thank you
Some people watch it because it is a little different when you have to deal the idiots all day. It is actually a form of relaxation.
House FTW! <3
I LoL because it’s true
o look another house graph this is definitely original
This is true of every TV and movie doctor in history. And with a little re-wording, it could also apply to every movie scientist who ever had to kill a monster or stop an alien invasion.
you have a point. Jurassic Park is the only realistic science one. and even THAT stretches the reality bit
The Andromeda Strain?
what?
The Andromeda Strain is another Michael Crichton story with reasonable science.
Some really good science I thought. There was a great bit about blood chemistry.
…except that whole dinosaurs being related to frogs when it is actually birds thing…
Genetics Major eh? You obviously didn’t read what “Me” had written already RIGHT below what you’d put. Homer is right. Scientists are already altering the DNA of birds. Ever notice that birds have scales on their feet?
and Human DNA? Do you realize that reptiles are cold blooded while humans are warm blooded? To mix human DNA with that of a dinosaur would be a waste of time.
Yeah we do add pieces of DNA to all kinds of organisms these days, that does not mean that the DNA is expressed or compatable. What we have done with animals so far is… fairly limited. Making a glow in the dark mouse using jellyfish DNA is far easier than resurrecting an extinct species. The largest problem is probably not going to be due to DNA but rather due to the fact that we have no dinosaur cytoplasm. DNA may be very very similar from one species to the next, but how it is expressed, at least initially is highly influenced by cytoplasmic factors. Let’s remember though that Jurassic Park is just a story written like 20 years ago.
Jurrasic Park was SLIGHTLY realistic lol… They actually have tried collecting DNA from a fossilized mosquito (and bee) but it’s almost impossible and if they’ve collected DNA from it, it’s because it was contaminated. The part he talks about in the beginning though, about how birds have evolved from dinosaurs is actually true. By altering the DNA of the embryo of a chicken, they can cause the chicken to grow scales instead of feathers, teeth, and a longer tail… resembling a dinosaur.
The science channel
Title is incorrect. Should be Breakdown of how House diagnoses patients.
True, he usually does all that other stuff while diagnosing, it’s just that when he correctly diagnoses the patient it’s because of an epiphany
Yeah, would make more sense
This is more “true” than “funny”. Anyone who watched the show is already aware of this, and anyone who doesn’t watch this show won’t get it. Try again.
Isn’t that the point though? To have the graphs be “true” even if most of them are an exaggeration of the truth. And who cares if people that don’t watch the show, don’t get it… there’s plenty of charts and graphs on here that people can’t relate to. If I gotta see one more freaking Twilight chart/graph, I’m gonna explode lol
And it always happens at 10 to the hour!!! thats realistic! but i love the show still…purely for hugh laurie
This makes me depressed. I already posted something similar to this like a year ago, but i guess this guy beat be. darn those time-leaping leprechauns
And yet, 10 minutes into every episode, my dad corretly diagnoses each patient every time.
I wouldn’t necessarily say ALL of it…
Here’s your task… watch House a few times, write down the diagnosis, and google it… you may be surprised.
You are correct. It was actually on some news broadcast at one point… (slow news day?) Most of house’s episodes are based off of true to life, real diseases. They have doctors working with the show. While every now and then it could feel like a stretch when something occurs… the show is oft times more about the relationships of the characters.
Also… about 20% of the time they find something in one of the tests. I imagine House has an “epiphany” every time he tells them to do another test… but the final one is the one focused more on. It’s an extremely common tactic in writing.
Also, in the show, he’s world renowned for his ability to diagnose… usually through odd means.
(The tests, breaking into houses, the fact that those kinds of teams don’t exist in that manner, and many other aspects that aren’t true to life… should be focused on more.)
I enjoy house quite a bit… that is all.
Im a medical assistant and so i know there are a few missing in this graph:
Endoscopy,Ultrasonography,X-Ray,CT and CCT
Really… sure there’s a few missing but how many freaking pieces of pie did you want? So many that nobody’s gonna read it?
I pointed it out because i thought that would verify my statement.
Often this job actually sucks,so im not really that cool
Chances of House diagnosing a patient: 100%
This is Methods House Uses to Diagnose a Patient
You stole my brain.
I need it back… for… thinky… stuff.
House failed to diagnose a patient a few times, and several of his patients have died from it. (He diagnosed most of those a bit too late.)
But still… It’s House!! <3
I have to date only figured out one episode before he did. But I'm only a first year medical student, and nor do I actively try to figure it out while watching, so I think that's fairly good.
This among many other reasons is why I really can’t tolerate House at all (and this despite being a HUGE Hugh Laurie fan for years) I’ve never been able, after watching several eps over several seasons (just to give it a decent chance to ‘hook’ me) to figure out how he got this great rep as a diagnostitian — he’s FUBAR most of the time, and his underlings are the ones who ultimately figure out the problem like as not, and he gets the credit. Nice work if you can get it, I guess. I think of him as Dr. Craig from St. Elsewhere without the talent or the bedside manner (and any of you who remember Dr. Craig will recognize the irony and sarcasm in the latter part of that statement … )
I don’t know what episodes you watched.. but there have been very few episodes… if any… that his “underlings” figured it out before him. Many times he withholds information because he is TEACHING them… but for the most part he always comes up with the correct diagnosis way before them. They are usually impeding HIM, with their morals, etc.
Also, he TAUGHT his underlings almost everything they know about diagnostics.
For all the supposed medical students in here, I’m rather surprised that you’ve all missed the glaring flaw in both your logic, and the logic behind this graph. If these cases can be figured out with a simple ECG, MRI, or blood test, it wouldn’t even GET to House, the specialist, leading diagnostician in the country.
That’s kind of the whole point of the show, to be honest. They throw in the odd test result solution for variety, but the entire idea of the show is that House is a genius who figures things out that very few other doctors can.
Oh, and cheesebrrgrr, you’re full of it.
EXACTLY.
And seriously, there are tons of ailments that CAN’T be diagnosed with simple tests. And even with ailments that can USUALLY be diagnosed with blood tests or scans, those tests don’t always come up positive even if a person has that disease. There are false positives, false negatives, and so on.
Granted, the WAY in which House diagnoses diseases is a bit (read: VERY) over the top and highly fictionalized for dramatic effect, but yeah, the point of the show is that these are difficult diagnostic cases. For example, how about you geniuses out there tell us if you can differentiate between lupus and lyme disease if the lyme test comes back negative but so do all the blood tests that could indicate lupus, and there’s an atypical clinical presentation of symptoms.
My medical knowledge ‘increases’ from watching so much House.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? ‘Cause I hear some of the diagnoses are made up. o.o
If you have actually ever looked it up, or watched any behind the scenes… almost none… if any are actually made up. They have doctors working with the show at all times.
it always comes at 3/4 of the way through the show too. That’s how I know how much time is left if i forget to look at the clock (due to obvious laziness)
Love House.
And I really don’t agree that only high school students watch it!
I’m graduating this year, but my sister (who is a college student) and my parents (who are most definitely not in high school) enjoy it as well.
The only problem I’ve always had with the show is how predictable it is. If they say they’ve got the problem solved 20 minutes in, you KNOW something is going to go wrong with the patient, ASAP.
OMG! Hahaha it never fails to happen.
2 things that make House not like real medicine:
1) Not completing BASIC laboratory tests before ruling out causes
2) Breaking into patients’ homes
The same two things make House interesting, but you’re not learning much medicine from this show.
They usually do the tests before the case even gets to House. They also do several of the uninteresting tests behind the scenes.
Breaking into houses is still a bit odd… a lot odd…
You missed ‘break & entry with illegal search of patient’s home’.
You forgot “breaking into the patient’s house”.
…ninja’d.
i love this show, but it does do this. it’s very predictable. they have an idea, they treat for it, something goes horribly wrong, they tell the patient that they will probably die, then house has his epiphany and saves them with two hours to spare.
There have been a few episodes where the patient has died. i.e. the staff infection chick that got her immune system destroyed before they figured the diagnosis out… in turn she died. To name one.
At home, we take bets before each new episode on at what time the patient has a seizure.
to all tha haterz:
wow, guys.. seriously, If you guys ever made the script of House MD the show would plummet, and if you guys are in the scene, you guys would be the insignificant boring “doctors” of the show.
