Play Sound. Cancel Save. Universal Conquest Wiki. Season 2. Season 5. Were he not so cynical, and well, odd, he would be the greatest diagnostician in the world. Gregory House is a misanthropic medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.
He is widely renown for his skills. People from all over the world come to meet him for diagnosis. The government hires him at times as well. Although he could cure most patients all by himself, in exceptionally difficult cases, he will Team Attack with his team to figure out the medical problem. This demands that he only hire the very best. Working for House is extremely educational, but stressful and often troublesome.
The original team consisted of Dr. Allison Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman and Dr. Robert Chase. The new team consisted of Dr. Eric Foreman, Dr.
Chris Taub, and earlier also Dr. Amber Volakis and Dr. Lawrence Kutner. He occasionally gets a far-fetched idea about the diagnostic problem at hand.
But if he then asks exactly the right questions and sends his team to study the right things, he is not penalized. Particularly since the problems are often exceedingly rare medical phenomena rarely found anywhere else.
Additionally, House is actually not fully mentally healthy. These may take many forms, for example, hallucinating of a dead colleague following him everywhere and talking to him, increased addiction problems, or the like. Completing such subplots, and the medical, physiological or psychological reasons behind them like drug abuse or suppressed guilt , should be handled like solving a tricky puzzle or a mystery.
During such subplots he is not at the top of his game, could be a danger to his patients, and suffers from penalties equal to those of a Guilt Drawback. Yet no HP fee may be paid to eliminate it, and the subplot has to be completed.
House is a military brat. One place in which his father was stationed was Egypt. There House developed a fascination with archaeology and treasure-hunting.
This interest led him to keep his treasure-hunting tools well into his adulthood. Another station was Japan. There, at age 14, House discovered his vocation after a rock climbing incident with his friend. He witnessed the respect given to a buraku doctor who solved the case that no other doctor could.
He also spent some time in the Philippines, where he received dental surgery. He avoids both parents. At one point, House tells a story of his parents leaving him with his grandmother, whose punishments constituted abuse. However, he later confesses that it was his father who abused him. Due to his father abusing him, House never believed that John House was his biological father.
At the age of 12, he deduced that a friend of his family with the same birthmark was his real father. In the season 5 episode Birthmarks , House discovers that this was true. Indeed, he used to find his mother very boring — the main reason he avoided her for long.
That lasted until he found out that the identity of his real father is as-yet-unknown. House first attended Johns Hopkins University as an undergraduate. Before choosing medicine as his discipline, he considered getting a Ph. He was accepted to the Johns Hopkins Medical School , and excelled during his time there.
He was a front runner for a prestigious and competitive internship at the Mayo Clinic. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley in On two separate occasions, Dave Matthews songs were used in the series. Meat Loaf also had a cameo in , and Brandy appeared early on, making an appearance in season 1.
House executive producer Katie Jacobs, was a fan, Miranda told Playbill : "I'm such a fan of the show, so I said yes and we immediately got to work on clearing my summer so I could go out to LA and film it.
I'm immensely proud to be a part of it, and I can't wait to see it. I hope I did right by them! Ran Laurie was a British physician, rowing champion, and Olympic gold medallist. The younger Laurie once said he felt guilty "being paid more to become a fake version of my own father. According to co-creator David Shore, House was inspired by two different medical writers. To bring it full circle, Sanders ended up as a technical advisor on the series.
When he originally auditioned for the show, Hugh Laurie believed Dr. Kyle MacLachlan auditioned for the role, too—he described it as one of the worst auditions of his life. Dempsey, of course, ended up playing another doctor: Dr. Playing House means Laurie is the only cast member to have appeared in every episode of the series.
That earned the actor the world record of being the most watched leading man in television. While filming the series, Laurie told Radio Times he had to have his car windows tinted to avoid being photographed by fans. In season 4, House decides he needs an all-new team. But, there was one ongoing mystery in the show that never got resolved - the case of House's paternity.
We are presented with two candidates for House's father. First, John House, the man whom Greg's mother is actually married to and who raised him. However, for most of his life, House suspects that this man is not his father, and is ultimately proven correct.
Unfortunately, his next candidate also proves not to be his true father - and this thread is left unresolved by the end of the show. While House is a medical doctor, he is also a man in near constant pain from the muscle that was removed in his leg. To take some of the pressure off of this leg, he walks with a cane. That's what makes it so strange when you realize that the canes he uses over the course of the show are mostly not suitable to give him the support he needs.
It makes some sense for House's character to care about style, even when it comes to his canes, but as a man who lives in pain and often goes to incredibly extreme lengths to relieve his pain, why wouldn't he bite the bullet and get a medical-grade cane that's more comfortable to use? Throughout the show, House's only real friend is the loyal James Wilson. Whenever House needs help or is spiraling out of control, Wilson is there to lend a hand or bring him back from the pits of his own mind.
House, in turn, has been there for him at times, particularly towards the end of the show - but these times are a lot rarer, and it is more often House leaning on Wilson for support. Considering how often House has lied to, manipulated, and even harmed poor Wilson, how is it that House has managed to retain his best friend for all these years?
Perhaps some friendships just transcend all logic and sense of personal safety. The main conceit of the character of House is that he is a genius misanthrope who battles with physical pain on a daily basis, as well as the emotional scarring of the event that caused it.
As seasons progress, House often finds more and more drastic ways to try and relieve his pain - some of which work; at least, as temporary measures.
The problem is that, whenever House's pain is gone, his genius is diminished; this is not just down to the medicine he takes, as he has the same effect over different kinds of medication.
He was portrayed as being a genius before the pain, so why is he suddenly a worse doctor when his pain goes away? During his childhood, he was uprooted and moved around through many different countries, as his father was serving in active military duty - countries that included Egypt, the Philippines, and Japan.
One country that has not been mentioned, however, was England. House has never explicitly stepped foot there in his life. Yet, sometimes we hear the odd British phrase peppered into House's dialogue in place of a more obvious Western saying. For example, in the episode "No Reason", he uses the English word 'frock' instead of saying 'dress'.
In real life, this is because House's portrayer, Hugh Laurie, is British - but there is no in-universe reason given. When House is suddenly attacked by a mysterious man who is named in the credits as 'Jack Moriarty', continuing on the Sherlock Holmes theme , it sends everyone into a state of shock; though House is obviously not the most likable person, for someone to storm into the hospital and harm him is very unsettling.
In the aftermath, House goes out and purchases a gun. This feels like a logical next step after facing down a gunman, but House also says to Masters that the Second Amendment is the part of the Constitution which says that people have the right to be stupid.
Danger can make people reckless, but it doesn't diminish the fact that House flipped on his principals, when he is shown to be incredibly stubborn about his beliefs or lack thereof. As a part of his mean and repellent exterior, House likes to tear people down and make jokes at their expense.
