Childhood is wanting to try vicodin because of House.
Adulthood is realizing fentanyl is the good shit.
You have to get fricked up in a real particular way to get prescribed good vicodin. Doctors will only hand out the weak stuff that's mostly aspirin because of drug addicts, and if you have surgery or something they usually still won't give you anything good because it can cause constipation.
I watched this and Scrubs back to back over the course of a few months. Interestingly Scrubs is the more medically accurate show and probably more true to what working in a hospital is like based on what I hear from doctors I know.
House gets a bit too formulaic.
The best episodes of House are when we are shown just how emotionally fricked up he is, like when he teaches that class for the medical students or when he gets committed and ends up almost killing a schizo by making him think he can fly. Everything else is a 2010-era fedora-cel power fantasy.
To be fair, house only took the "interesting cases", and had people come from all over the country after seeing 12 other doctors who couldn't figure it out.
The stuff he would do for "clinic" was much more realistic. Old fat person has a cough and doesn't feel good. Take some tylenol and sleep it off, it's just a cold big guy.
What kind of insurance do you need to get to see House? Whenever my doctor's are stumped they just write me a Rx and send me away; they never say "I'm referring you to the best specialist in the country."
>the "interesting cases", and had people come from all over the country after seeing 12 other doctors who couldn't figure it out.
no one cars that much in the medical profession about anything unless it involves billing an insurer a big number

they also establish that they have to set aside a huge amount of their budget just to handle lawsuits/settlements because of him
I don't know about the medical stuff, but I much preferred House because it got the balance of drama and light heartedness just right. Scrubs couldn't find a balance for me. Also Dr wieners is all over the place. I'm surprised the show took off.
Midwit observation.
House is supposed to be this genius so all the patients he deals with have these bizarre and made up conditions with weird miracle cures.
Scrubs is a comedy show about barely competent people so they deal with stuff like putting a needle in your veins or washing your ballsack. All of the medical cases in Scrubs are very mundane and a backdrop for drama and comedy.
Why is this a surprise? I hate these reddit and youtube ''facts'' so much. >but did you know Scrubs was ACTUALLY realistic
yes, I fricking watched it
A guy gets cancer, he goes through chemo and then he dies, that's Scrubs. House is about sewing a pig's head to a patient's ass to filter out their bloodstream to cure a new mutated strain of malaria, and the patient is 90 year old Adolf Hitler undergone facial reconstruction surgery to look like House's dad.
the frick
No medical show where nurses do anything other than gossip and a doctor can remember a patient's name and even remotely gives a shit about them is realistic.
>I hate these reddit and youtube ''facts'' so much.
Same. The equivalent for House is: >did you know House is actually a Sherlock Holmes adaptation? here's 5 references that you totally missed!
>House is supposed to be this genius so all the patients he deals with have these bizarre and made up conditions with weird miracle cures.
House regularly deals with boring cases like the ones you see on Scrubs, they're often short scenes where he just points out that the reason someone's knees hurts is because they're fat and the cure is losing weight.
>Scrubs is the more medically accurate show and probably more true to what working in a hospital is
It's not realistic. Real hospitals are filled with Black folk begging for narcotics and Mexicans having kids.
The one where he gets shot. It's not the typical House formula like the majority of the show, but it's pretty cool on rewatch and seeing how his thought process works. His subconscious is basically using his team to show how he bounces ideas around in his own head, while using the shooter to talk to himself about what a self-sabotaging piece of shit he is.
No, that patient didn't feel pain due to a genetic disorder. If she could feel pain the tapeworm would have been agonizing so they would have checked her gut earlier.
This episode more or less happened to me after I detoxed off the massive doses of adderall and benzos prescribed by my antivaxxer therapist, three years later and I'm still barely functional
sepsis isn't a disease dummy, it's a symptom, and can be caused by pretty much any type of infection you can think of if it goes systemic. If you get brought in with severe sepsis and they don't know what kind of infection is causing it they'll pump you full of every kind of antibiotic and antiviral that won't 100% kill you long before the blood tests come back. Sometimes antifungals too, but powerful antifungals are hellish shit that'll leave you fricked up even if you survive, so they're a last resort.
House can deduct all these things about his team from their appearance yet REFUSES to actually meet his patients and get a history. he would be able to deduce much more if he actually talked to them and multiple teams he only solves the case after talking to them for the first time.
it was AIDS
Childhood is wanting to try vicodin because of House.
Adulthood is realizing fentanyl is the good shit.
Are you from LA or Portland?
portland is like 19 in highest fent. not as high as you'd think
The enlightened want to overdose on methadone.
>t. me
The best part of crack is the free samples
The worst part is that past a certain point nobody wants to share
yeah its so strange, vicodin was such pussy shit when i finally got a prescription
once i convinced my doctor to switch me to codeine everything was great

I had half of my hand including three fingers amputated while conscious and without painkillers so as far as I'm concerned opiate junkies are scum
Damn dude, what happened? Do you have any prosthetics? Can we see?
>Damn dude, what happened?
hand my hand holding a window frame when an rpg went off outside.
If I got my hand blown off fighting in Bush's wars I'd lie and say it was something less stupid like I ran over my own hand with a lawnmower somehow.
Friendly fire is a b***h, ain't it?
>I suffered willingly therefore everyone else deserves to suffer
Yeah and druggies are the scum. Lmao.
Thanks, Obamacare.
How do you type?
>fentanyl is the good shit.
if you think this your life is already over
Enlightenedhood is realizing opiates cause severe constipation and I'd rather be in chronic pain than not shit for three weeks
Anything that stops pain without making you high?
A nerve block

Scrubs succeeded because it was a huge hit outside of Murrica.

As much as i hate scrubs(because i dont like zach braff) it is the better show, mostly because zach isnt faking his accent.
Painfully accurate synopsis of every episode.
>Scrubs is the more medically accurate show and probably more true to what working in a hospital is
It's not realistic. Real hospitals are filled with Black folk begging for narcotics and Mexicans having kids.
They're just shows. It doesn't matter if they're 100% accurate, since I'm sure actually being a doctor is boring as shit in real life.
House should had ended in S5 or S4. He should had gotten together with Dr Cody and had a child. House Jr.
Kino as always
This gif got it completely wrong. House isn't interested in the treatment at all, only the diagnosis.
He was shown to care sometimes
He cares for the treatment when he isn't certain if the treatment will actually work
In the last Foreman's image I would add *fricks a white woman*
don't be like that, he fricks a black woman for 5 seconds in the last season too
>Show this to wife
>Anytime either of us get confused by something we will openly proclaim THIS VEXES ME
caption under Cameron pic should be "could be sarcoidosis"
The great part about House is you only need to watch one episode.
Alright, what's the best episode of House?
You can just pick one at random. They're all the same.
Amber only dies in one
The one where the guy gives up his organs for his alcoholic son after being in a coma for a decade. Probably the best open out of all the episodes
The one where he gets shot. It's not the typical House formula like the majority of the show, but it's pretty cool on rewatch and seeing how his thought process works. His subconscious is basically using his team to show how he bounces ideas around in his own head, while using the shooter to talk to himself about what a self-sabotaging piece of shit he is.
I like Hugh Laurie so I went ahead and watched them all.
>it was actually a massive tapeworm in your body that was making you not feel pain
Absolutely horrifying
No, that patient didn't feel pain due to a genetic disorder. If she could feel pain the tapeworm would have been agonizing so they would have checked her gut earlier.
So the tapeworm did nothing wrong?
The tapeworm was killing her by causing a vitamin deficiency iirc.
It wasn't paying rent. Squatters need to leave.
Vaxx status?
This episode more or less happened to me after I detoxed off the massive doses of adderall and benzos prescribed by my antivaxxer therapist, three years later and I'm still barely functional
>No time for tests! Just start treating and see if it work!
Is this ever practically true?
All the time, especially when sepsis is involved
In the case of sepsis don't they know they have sepsis?
sepsis isn't a disease dummy, it's a symptom, and can be caused by pretty much any type of infection you can think of if it goes systemic. If you get brought in with severe sepsis and they don't know what kind of infection is causing it they'll pump you full of every kind of antibiotic and antiviral that won't 100% kill you long before the blood tests come back. Sometimes antifungals too, but powerful antifungals are hellish shit that'll leave you fricked up even if you survive, so they're a last resort.
>sepsis isn't a disease, it's a symptom
hello dunning-kruger
Were you in a coma since 2019 or what?
Remember when Chase killed James Earl Jones because he was going to do an offbrand Rwandan genocide?
Goat medical show. He's literally me
i'm in love with Cameron
i need cuddy to rape me. and not the hot kind.
I wish I had a friend like Wilson
The real diagnosis is the rat bites we made along the way..
You guys did listen to Hugh's blues album, right?
AHHHH HELP ME I'M BEING BITTEN BY RATS!
House can deduct all these things about his team from their appearance yet REFUSES to actually meet his patients and get a history. he would be able to deduce much more if he actually talked to them and multiple teams he only solves the case after talking to them for the first time.
