Sometimes I wonder if it wrong to be attracted to cynicism or anything remotely related to it. I find House interestingly captivating although his bedside manner sucks. He is a bad friend, a bad boss(in many ways actually) and a bad husband. The only thing that he is good at is Medicine. His is good at Medicine though he is mean to the whole wide world. He is good at Medicine though he is one miserable damaged doctor. He is good at Medicine, and that means he saves lives. And he sure does go all the way(sometimes the not so morally correct way) to save his patients.

They say he only save lives to feed his ego because he always know he is right no matter what others say. He treat patients like puzzles not human beings. His colleagues get a rude shock when he actually go to see the patients or express any almost non-existent concern for them. It is that bad. Haha that aside, but he is really witty and sarcastic. I do find it a bit wrong to be digging this part of him :P Check some personal favourites out:

This was when the team was treating some patient with weird infection. House think they should give the guy Inferons, a much more stronger and toxic medicine but his young doctors disagree, fearing the medicine may be too strong for the dying patient. But you know House being House have already decided Inferons was the only way to go and stupid Chase had to say something stupid.

Chase: I think we should start him on antibiotics first.
House: Yeah you might as well give him chicken soup. It is equally useless but that has chicken in it. *roll eyes*

This one was when House was talking to a patient with a neurological problem. She kind of killed her baby son without really intending it but did it because of her illness. She is refusing treatment for her condition because she think she should die for killing her own son. She was feeling super guilty and House was attempting to console her in order to get her to agree to her treatment. But his bedside manner kind of need A LOT of improvement so it went something like that:

Patient: I killed my son.
House: Oh is it my turn to say something obvious now?
Patient: I did it, I chose to do it..
House: Oh I get it. Like how diabetic people chose not to produce insulin. It's not your fault.

He is really acidic, even to his friends.

Cameron: You shouldn't do that, it is not right.
House: I am morally bankrupt. Sue me.

Friend: And I thought you mellowed down after all these time.
House: And you are an idiot.

Haha, love it man. House is abit more exciting than Grey's I think. Its alot about the Medicine and mystery. Grey's has more insights about why people do the things they do, and Grey's doesnt have a lot of weird cases to deal with. But I think I have been watching too much Medical drama. When I attempt to sit down and watch Numb3rs just now(which is not a medical drama), I keep thinking somebody is gonna faint in the first 5mins of the show. Maybe start bleeding or have seizure or something, because that has been how Grey's(sometimes) and House(all the time) kick off the show.

Fun. Good fun. ha.
