There is always a TF2 SFM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqF1AiqyCQ
Thank you, I’ve never seen this version
,
Absolute cinema.
Mouse bites cure all
I was looking for this. Sums up every episode
Inaccurate. There was way more sexual harassment.
Also butt hole worms are one of the most common and enduring medical conditions in human history.
enduring
I read this as endearing.
You’re right, I only love you for your butthole worms.
My wife, who as far as I know has none, is going to be devastated.
Awwwwwww
I feel like you are wrong.
I like how every patient gets a big room with huge windows and a team of doctors on call 24/7 and 12 medical tests done a day with no waiting. And no one ever talked about the bills.
Well, his is typically a one-case department. They talk about cutting his department or funding regularly because it is expensive. In the end, they always conclude he does more good than harm and let him keep abusing people to save a life here or there. I’m not saying anything of this is logical, ethical, or consistent with any reality I want to live in, I’m just saying they address a lot of this across the seasons.
it’s a fake drama without any basis in reality.
100%, and I gotta say it was a great show. A little lacking in the last season or two but I loved the ending of the series overall.
Patients also only get sent to House when nobody else can figure it out.
i bet medical care is like that if you’re rich
Mood I was in the ER this weekend for a broken collarbone and saw one doctor and two nurses and Tylenol for the pain. I had to make my own follow up appt with an orthopedic doctor in network and I couldn’t request my medical records to be forwarded to new office. Fuck healthcare cause 5 days after the break I finally got an opinion from a qualified doctor: NO SURGERY. Fml
“Fuck American healthcare” FTFY
Did you watch the show? That’s all explained and is not typical. House has a very specialized practice dealing in absurd rare cases that no one can figure out. There was even an entire season arc about money and profits.
How does employing House make the hospital money?
It doesn’t directly, his department is known to be a money pit. But having him at their hospital is kinda a point of prestige for the hospital; kinda like reputation padding. In a way, you can look at the budget for his department as a marketing expense for the hospital.
They get to claim they have a world famous diagnostician on staff who can figure out what’s wrong with the most hopeless causes.
It’s a teaching hospital, so they don’t (entirely) rely on the regular patient-funded system common in the USA.
House’s reputation can totally help with funding.
It’d be kinda like having a really prestigious professor at your university.
Wasn’t there also a multi season arc where they made House teach a class and take on interns so that they had other “reasons” to keep his department
been awhile since i watched it, but didnt they state it was some hospital in a really rich neighborhood?
It’s canon in the series that there’s an entire budget in that hospital just for settling the lawsuits that arise due to House.
For those who didn’t get it House is just sherlock Holmes in a medicinal setting.
His friend is Wilson instead of Watson.
He is a genius, eccentric who solves mysteries using his intellect and deduction, hell he even uses drugs just like Holmes.
He is a genius, eccentric who solves mysteries using his intellect and deduction
If you’ve dealt with real doctors, you know that is high fantasy.
Same way as Holmes is high fantasy to real detectives, what’s your point?
It’s a TV show, if it wasn’t fictional it would be incredibly boring.
Disagree, there was a '90s show called Trauma: Life in the ER that was the real shizz. The namby-pambies ruined it. Ack, real blood!
My dad’s last doctor was visibly drunk all the time and would unashamedly scroll through my dad’s computer records during the appointment to figure out who he was talking to and what his problems were. And of course my dad loved this guy.
Sounds pretty awesome tbh. Most doctors I’ve seen don’t bother checking the records at all and I need to repeat everything (even tests) every visit. They also seem uncomfortable and bit lost when dealing with people. I thinks it’s a result of it becoming a highly paid, high status career, that is actually a service job. Brings in all the wrong people.
House/Homes/Holmes
Holmes on homes.
That’s an idea. Sherlock Holmes, but he uses his powers of deduction to renovate and flip houses on a new reality show set in rural Brittain.
Which is funny because Arthur Conan Doyle based Holmes on a real life doctor who used deductions. It comes full circle!
That doctor that inspired Sherlock Holmes was based on a fella named Sean Combs.
And Doyle got the inspiration for Holmes from watching doctors diagnose patients
Wow he must be very rich.
My doctor’s appointments more closely resemble Oliver Twist.
deduction
it’s abduction he uses, not deduction.
He doesn’t start with a set of potential conclusions and knock them down one by one as he gathers evidence - no, he instead jumps from one extreme thread of intrigue to another, never quite abandoning an idea even if the evidence points otherwise. The universe then apparently conspires to prove him right on credence alone
So you’re telling me that he’s actually a reality warper instead of a genius doctor?
reality warper
You could say, like the Wabbajack.
I actually think so, yeah
it’s abduction he uses, not deduction.
This is correct
He doesn’t start with a set of potential conclusions and knock them down one by one as he gathers evidence - no, he instead jumps from one extreme thread of intrigue to another, never quite abandoning an idea even if the evidence points otherwise. The universe then apparently conspires to prove him right on credence alone
Less so
Less so
No? the information he gathers is very sparse, so naturally his conclusions are very wild and based more on hunches than on anything actually empirical
based more on hunches than on anything actually empirical
That’s what abductive logic is.
Clearly he’s not being arbitrary. While it isn’t purely deduction where the conclusion has to be true if the premises are true, in abductive reasoning it’s only “likely” they’re true. The better your premises, the better the likelyhood.
And how good are Sherlock and House portrayed as, in this way?
Very.
That’s why he’s allowed to do almost anything, since he usually ends up finding the right solution despite a little trial and error.
If he constantly turned out to be wrong, he wouldn’t have an entire department and there’d be very little point in the whole story
Abduction is basically deduction when you account for reality.
I hear what you’re saying, but you assume his reality is rational. I think he’s a reality warping demon whose guesses are proven to be right only because the universe he lives in loves him.
In a saner world, he would be locked up as a delusional hateful man who got people killed with constant risky misdiagnosis
He also lives at the same address: 221B Baker Street.
Plus, there’s a bunch more.
Just finished rewatching it. That’s basically it, but it’s awesome nonetheless
Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Amazing cure found in the last 5 minutes.
It’s lupus
IS IT LUPUS?!
It’s always fucking lupus.
Except when it’s sarcoidosis, or immuloidosis
It was a show that definitely followed a rigid format
Excellent satire indeed. Also highlights how having experience with personal medical issues can help broaden perspective on how to help others.
Definitely not only the second case ever
Well put!
