question, the man needed a whole platoon of fire fighters to lift him off his bed, he is over 600 pounds, don't cat scan machines have a maximum weight and opening? Can they fit him through there? Or would they have to go to an animal hospital that makes cat scans of big animals like horses? Their machine can deal with that weight and massive size of the patient.

Ennnnhhh, sort of. Dr. Mike is ripping his procedure to shreds because House never takes the usual path of examination of patients. I can understand hunches, but he never starts with obvious elimination processes. Even Sherlock Holmes would take the time to first set aside normal conclusions, explain why, and then put forth his own observations and explain why.
@@ginnyjollykidd Not sort of. The entire show is based off of sherlock holmes. House is called house because it starts with an H just like holmes, wilson is called that because watson starts with a w. And the reason why house usually doesnt go through the normal stuff is becauses houses team is only supposed to deal with special cases and anything very obvious would be ruled out by nurses and other doctors.
18:23 yeah… House wasn’t talking about getting a dog FOR the kid. He was suggesting getting a dog INSTEAD of the kid. But it’s sweet that you took it that way. 😊

The only thing Dr. Mike didn't understand about the show is that House's assistants were not residents, but medical specialists. Foreman was a Neurologist, Chase was a Surgeon, intensivist, cardiologist and Dr. Cameron was an Immunologist.
also he didn't understand that the reason why they are starting with zebras because the cases will only fall on them if the other doctors cant diagnose them and thus, the horses are already determined and excluded.
Yeah, however dr mike also says that some of these procedures would require things like gastroenterologists, or activities like taking the owners dog from his house. Those things and more throughout the show they are not qualified for.
I believe it. Worked for a cardiology group. The offices were next to the hospital. We had the only nuclear testing table that could handle those coming for gastric bypass clearance
my stepdad is a former helicopter mechanic. he was telling me that in sydney he actually sent a main rotor blade of a helicpter to be xrayed at the local hospital because it was the only device that could detect any fine cracks in the material.
one thing you missed is that house only works on cases nobody else can figure out. All the normal suspects are already out the window, thats why he does so many tests. Also his division runs at a loss, insurance costs dont exist, the hospital keeps him around because he saves so many people
There is a huge movement in medicine about how women are left in pain where men get treatment for pain that does not even compare to women with ectopic pregnancies, for which women are mundanely told to take Tylenol. BTW - HOUSE uses the cane inappropriately. He is using it on the wrong side for the leg he uses it for. Chester - a character on Gun Smoke - did the same thing.
@@gazman2626one of my mom’s friends always had a seizure whenever someone else stole all the attention… kids birthday parties, my mom’s wedding, things like that… One day she had one, we called 911 and the paramedic who must’ve been in his early 20’s walked up to her convulsing on the floor, lifted her arm up and let it fall and then started writing something. In the middle of it he said “oh, she’s faking it by the way” as he continued to write down whatever he was writing. It was nothing short of incredible since we always knew she was faking it but having someone just so nonchalantly prove it was just *chef’s kiss. And he explained to us later what he did; he said if she wasn’t faking it then her hand would’ve fell on her face rather than fall off to the side.
Reminds me of that classic joke where they're talking about giving a patient a colonoscopy and Cameron says something along the lines of "have you ever had a footlong tube shoved up your rectum" and House says... what you'd think
Dr House, in fact, speaks every language lmao. He is supposed to be the Sherlock Holmes of medicine, so he notices every little detail and knows so many random facts that no one else knows. Also a small easter egg is that his apartment number is the 221B, same as Sherlock's.
he wasn't talking about replacing the kid, he was saying that if they got a dog the dog would 'look the kid in the eye and wag his tail', so he was also in a roundabout way suggesting animal therapy.
Every hospital has a real House. Worked with a radiologist for a period of time and his life was working at the hospital and everybody wanted him because he was almost supernatural. I remember some techs playing around with a new heart monitor for MRI with sound over a speaker system, all of a sudden he pops his head out of his office and asks "Who's wearing the heart monitor?" and a woman raised her hand and he said "Schedule an appointment with your doctor, you have (some heart disease)".. and then he just went back to work. Believe it or not she did have that exact disease, it was a crazy thing to witness
Working in pharmacy years ago, we actually had a patient who had an inhaler and one of their triggers was an allergic reaction to their cat. During a medicine use review with the pharmacist they were discussing how they were using their inhaler as they didn’t seem to be getting the expected symptom relief. It turns out that the patient had somehow misunderstood as it was prescribed to help her reaction to the cat, so when she had a flare up or attack she was spraying the inhaler on the cat. So yes, using an inhaler that wrong can absolutely happen. But it’s hard to believe until you’ve actually encountered it yourself.

40:48 they explain in so many episodes that many patients have been through a battery of tests including specialists and come to House as an absolute last resort. Like a crime that comes to Sherlock, it implies that Sherlock isn't going to go from the basics every time because the previous 50 police investigators have probably asked the basic questions and he can go through their responses and see what was missing in his beyond expert opinion
That's absolutely true! House is like the Sherlock Holmes of medicine, and I love it.. Am I the only one who thinks a crossover episode between the two would be just straight chaos, and would love every second of it?
@@enviecavalerie2225 I saw in some behind the scenes stuff that House is literally and intentionally supposed to be exactly that, the Sherlock Holmes of medicine. That's actually why the show runners chose the names House and Wilson because they preserved the H and W initials from Holmes and Watson.
yeah but even there are case when they spend the whole 40 mins ruling out zebras when it ended up being a horse so there was no point in them taking the case anyway 😂

Fun story: My dad had surgery on his lungs. Afterwards, his liver swelled up 3x its size. He was put on a transplant list but expected he would die long before he had a shot at a liver. The hospital asked if he wanted to die at home or in the hospital, my dad chose to go home. He wanted to smoke cigarettes and weed. That's how we found out my dad was allergic to adhesives. The nicotine patch was the culprit. He lived many more years before dying a slow painful death from something unrelated.
huge fan of this show, so when you said "this better be a neurosurgeon!" and it was foreman, i cracked up. Foreman's specialty is neurology. not sure if that makes him a surgeon, but they tried to stay consistent at least
Of course they would choose a neurologist for neurology I mean that's the minimum required for a medical show 😂 And neurologist is definitely not a neurosurgeon But I'm team House though, really like this show one of my pref
I really infinitely love the play between Dr. Mike’s intelligence at being a doctor and things making sense in terms of treatments, diagnostics and step-by-step procedures and then him having a complete lack of more of common sense jokes and they just go way over his head. It’s very adorable to see. lol
Can see that, but we do often see cases where the patient comes in and House is the first Dr they see for that specific medical ailment. Or the other doctors are trying to rule out the horses, but House comes along and insists it's a zebra. If it were a case of patients coming to him because they did not get answers from other Dr's or treatments, it would make more sense.
@@CreamIceMssometimes there isn't time to dwell on the horses and pay attention to small signals. Then go past the horse to tame that zebra. I know because i almost lost my son because a doctor was treating the horse and ignored the zebra. The doctor ignored his report and history and just said he has what everyone else has a stomach bug. Well turned out it was c-Diff infection and just almost lost him. Thank God for a Trama doctor who was very good managed to stabilize him by using a shunt in his leg bone to get fluids in and lifeflight him to a specialist at one of countries top children's hospitals. My son is 20 now a Sophomore in College thanks to a team of Doctors not so much unlike the team on House.
@@feraltaco4783that's the crux - these diagnosis are cool but aren't they in like New Jersey? You'd need insurmountable odds to have these patients in the same hemisphere, much less the same state or city or hospital or doctor.
This was too funny, I burst out laughing when the girl with CIPA goes unresponsive and immediately they call a code and say get ice packs and cold blankets stat. Mikes like what!?!
I haven't seen House in YEARS, but the clip about "teeny tiny baby coffins" lives in my head rent-free. Most ruthless quote from a show I've ever seen.
@erastvandoren yes because covid is the same as diphtheria, polio and the measles. Honestly some of you people shouldn't be allowed an opinion too stupid to comprehend basic information
Something most people miss is that House and Wilson are based on Sherklock Holmes and Watson. Much like Holmes had an opium addiction (that's what he was smoking in his pipe), House has a Vicadin addiction. Its also why House can diagnose people so quickly with weird sight clues. Just like how Holmes did with criminals. House actually lives on Baker Street. Holmes played the Violin, House plays the Piano. Both only have one friend. They even had a patient named Moriarty that shot house in one episode.
Great comment, but as a fan I have to point out that Holmes smoked tobacco out of his pipe, and often smoked while he was working a case. His morphine and cocaine addictions were mainly injected at various strengths depending on how bored he was, and he never used them while on a case. He has smoked opium from a pipe in the stories, but an opium pipe is quite different from a tobacco pipe, Holmes is rarely if ever pictured or associated with one, and I'm not sure if he ever even did it in his apartment... Aside from the "that's what he smokes in his pipe" part though, I agree 100% with your comment.
Thanks for confirming my suspicion that if a child is freaking out enough during any type of procedure. The procedure can be paused so the kid can be sedated. If that happened to me I wouldn't have half the medical trauma I have now
Not sure if Dr Mike knows but House was originally meant to be a detective show, but there were too many CSI etc programs so they turned it into Medical Doctor Holmes. The reason House knows all the random facts and obscure diseases is because he is meant to be super intelligent and extremely widely read, and he picks up on all the small things that everyone else misses.
Basically he has autism... Like I hate they wrote him with Aspergers or high functioning autism but they didn't touch it. Bad with social ques, hating to talk to patiants not making eye contact if he can help it with any one, retaining tons of random facts, and that he has to solve the problem complex. Those all autism symptoms believe it or not. I got Asperger and I am 39 when I was young I was just called "antisocial" but to smart to have autism or other issues. Like I am good at math bad with people, and I love hyper-focusing on mechanical things. In his case he hyper-focuses on medical things. Like he should be a rolemodel for high funcitoning autism. Instead I say I have autism and people think of the screaming kid eating sand, or Rainman thanks to tv, and movies sigh..
The cases shown in House MD are rare cases, they are generally picked up by his team when other doctors have not been able to figure it out. They touch upon this in a few episodes and imply it in how they approach the cases. This might be why so much data is available and the common ailments are ruled out.
Yes! House says in one episode where they speak about the horses and zebras, something to the tune of “We do when they’re sick enough to make it to me.” Because usually by the time they make it to House, the patient has seen 10s of doctors who have already ran the regular panels of tests.
I feel like this is true in theory (and explains their access to all the rare specialized procedures and knowledge of rare conditions), but a lot of these cases are presented as just random cases coming in to them, and then House comes in, points out something, and gets obsessed. Like with the child, the other doctor gave a normal diagnosis that could've been true, and then House does something and commence House MD episode.
10:28 my first thought seeing this is, even though she can't feel physical pain, that doesn't mean she can't feel mental pain or be traumatised. Its just common sense that pulling a giant tape worm out of someone by force while they watch is probably going to give them some amount of discomfort.
@@xcaliber4141 I know that's how the show worked, but it would NEVER happen in real life. The bits where doctors would draw blood always made me shake my head lol
Dr Mike just said you’d know if the girl was having a seizure, which you wouldn’t know if it was a subclinical seizure, then said EMG instead of EEG test…EEG tests are used to diagnose subclinical seizures…Dr Mike had an immediate Inaccuracy, please never go to him in real life 😂
House and others are so absurdly wrong about so much stuff that I can see how over time Dr. Mike enjoyed watching the show and found it funny and amusing. His medical knowledge makes it even funnier and amusing than it is to regular folks, I am thinking, although some jokes may go over his head. He is distracted by a lot of medical B.S., after all. Heh.
What’s more annoying in hospital is being hooked up to monitors that beep all the time, then being on a ward with 20-30 people beeping away. I swear it was like an audio version of water torture.
@@desireepaulplummer4386 It'd more likely be one whole episode where Mike is doing his utmost to show up House while House is doing his best to resist the influence of Mike. It'd probably end with both crossing over to each other's philosophies in order to find their solutions.
I love that Mike's prevailing question is "How does he live this way?" To be fair to the show, the point of House is that he doesn't. He's a mess. He's utterly obsessed with his work because it distracts from his trainwreck of a life. And, also, it's established throughout the show that he speaks a little Mandarin, and his knowledge of other languages is usually shown with dictionaries in-hand. But yes, it's so stupid, I love this dumbass show.
The dialogue between the girl with no pain and House is so funny. -I can't run anywhere without checking my feet for swelling. -I CAN'T RUN. Also the scene where the girl was about to jump, to be fair, what did Foreman expect House to do? Through his cane at her? Run to save her? If Foreman had used that time to call security instead maybe they could've prevented her fall.
We had a Doctor in Rockhampton Australia. He was very kind, but like Dr. House, he could watch you enter the room and know what was wrong. He was a brilliant diagnostician. Never had been known to be wrong. He was a great loss to the city.
I love the fact Dr.Mike compares paediatrics to veterinary medicine. I'm a vet and I make that same comparison all the time. You have a dependent who cannot communicate / act as their own beneficiary. They also come with a very worried "parent" who would often move mountains in order to make their little ones better. I’d love to say the only difference is that human children don’t try to bite you when examining them but I have heard different from some friends in the human medicine side of things.
The joke goes "What do you call a veterinarian who can only treat one species? - A physician.", but it appears the real answer is "A pediatrician." A physician is someone who additionally needs their patient to talk to them. It's really astonishing how much we expect from veterinarians.
14:26 "Why did your date scream? That was a weird revelation." I'm convinced Doctor Mike could have straight up been a comedian if he wasn't busy being a Doctor. That line got me good.
As a financial professional, I SO relate to staring in the camera and deadpan saying "My knowledge of ______ is not up to date" when a client comes in with a super uncommon financial situation. Nice one XD
I love Doctor Mike’s reaction whenever House or his team does something completely illegal and insane it’s so funny. House has always been a crazy doctor and super unethical. 😂😂
They must make the patients sign papers like what one German borrelia clinic does in Augsburg saying that they have tried EVERYTHING first and it's their last resort etc. Which is why it's OK for them to do otherwise stuff against the guidelines. Like treating pain with antibiotic etc.
21:50 He's only shown doing funny and illegal things, but he does do a lot of research into what could be wrong with his patients. He doesn't just have those medical textbooks in his office for show, he even tells Chase one time to look up what disease it could be, and gives him a hint that it starts with a certain letter while handing him one of the books in his office. That's supposed to showcase him being the experienced person who knows to look things up before asking others, while the team (chase included) are more prone to throw wild guesses depending on their specialties (immune for cameron, neural for foreman, and chase just throws the wildest things at the wall, trying to mimic house)
Except they aren’t just wild guesses but the best guesses they had were based on their experiences. In many cases house needs their input cause he would just be wildly wrong. His team forced him to keep up so that he can maintain his image in front of them. That being the most knowledgeable in the room. It is why he runs them for being blind cause he wants them to appreciate his observant nature
A thing that is rarely ever spoken about, is that House MD, is a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes. Specifically in reference to the themes and characters. Hence the insane intellect and unreal deduction skills of Gregory House, the character.
@@madalynnewman6268 that’s on you. His best friend’s name was literally James Wilson (John Watson???? Dr J. W?). His co-dependent relationship with Wilson? His whole investigative and superior know all attitude? I know I sound condescending but come on, they were basically hitting us in the head with it. Sorry.
The reason the show deals with "zebras" and not horses(besides from providing a more interesting show) is that House solves cases like puzzles and so he only takes on cases that interest him.
This, yes. But also, it's not always the case, but often is, that House usually isn't the first doctor these patients see, and they often have other doctors' tests and notes to work with and KNOW it's not a normal diagnosis, since the other doctors would have caught it.
Yeah the hospital he works at created a diagnostic dept for him because he'll only take the cases that are like a mystery or that others can't diagnose. Neat, but he must've been so stubborn in order to get it
To add to this as like a tldr, he is usually quite literally the last resort for patients who have crazy symptoms /rare diseases etc. they’ve often been to a multitude of other doctors and the case is very much an impossible case - until House (as the show would have it). And like someone else said he absolutely hates “boring” cases so if he’s accepted it it must be a “zebra”.
And that is also the reason why House gets his own staff of some of the best Doctors, gets away with so much, and gets so many options for tests etc... the Prestige he brings to the Hospital as having the greatest diagnostic department in the world.
@@hulkslayer626and somehow never gets sued even though in some cases he is conducting treatments/test that cause physical pain to patients without informed consent 😂
I have a friend who has CIPA. He has an article in Wired written about him. He travels once a year to Sweden, where they are trying to develop pain control by studying him. Really cool guy.
That is actually really cool I was wondering I kind of wished I had sepa just so I wouldn't well feel tattoos but I got diagnosed with hemochromatosis so technically I kind of don't feel tattoos hope that your friend does well and you take care
@@oldageisdumb Hemochromatosis is a disorder in which the body can build up too much iron in the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, pituitary gland, and joints. It also causes abdominal and joint pain. My guess is that their brain is so busy focusing on the joint and abdominal pain that they don't notice the pain from a tattoo as much as a healthy person would.
@@bendingdemon6483 Oh yes, I’m VERY familiar with the disease, unfortunately. As is many generations of my ancestors before me. I can tell you that it does not cause a difference in tattoo pain lol
In at least two episodes Cuddy talks about what House represents for the hospital moneywise and why he "can do" those crazy stunts. She tells House that she got him for actually a cheap price, because although House is an exceptionally famous doctor in his universe, nobody actually wanted to hire him because he's...well, House. So Cuddy keeps him because it gives the Hospital (Princeton Plainsboro, which is also supposed to be a medical school) tons of prestige. On the other hand, when Stacy, Houses's ex wife, come to work as a lawyer for the Hospital Cuddy tells her that the legal team's job and budget is basically to run damage control for House because they are getting sued all the time, not to mention tons of property damage and expensive treatments he just orders out of the blue. So in one hand House is actually an amazing market strategy because the Hospital gets to brag they have one of the best doctors in the world, but on the other hand House is a huge liability because you'll never know if he's gonna actually cure the patient or stab him with a needle filled with steroids 'just cause'. I think that at some point they actually acknowledge that he's just as likely to kill a patient than to cure him, but the thing is...he's usually right.
Yeah....I guess the deal is, with House, you have a 50/50 (or less) chance of dying-but without him it's much higher because other doctors are less likely to be able to correctly diagnose you. He works and solves the cases no other doctor can. I guess that why he's so well known.
You're House lite and the only administrator who'll hire you is the one who hired House classic. (Probably got the quote slightly wrong but it's from when Cuddy rehires Foreman after his abortive attempt to work at a different episode and comes crawling back.) Also there's that one episode where it turns out that House actually gets sued less than Cuddy expected so he comes in under budget.
About the MRI being loud; for anyone who hasn't had one, it's not only WAY louder and more aggressive sounding than that, but there are also random alarms going off between and during the loud, random, aggressive sounding noises. Those alarms really boost the anxiety when you're already actively focusing on not moving an inch and random loud noises blaring around you.
I think the most impressive aspect of the show is not that House accurately diagnoses his patients but that every conversation/surgery is performed in complete darkness. Like does this hospital exist underground
Oh, I remember the episode with CIPA girl. House was so insisting on nerve biopsy not for diagnosys but rather use it for an experimental treatment on himself that he heard of before. The girl was like a rare opportunity for House to find a better way of dealing with the pain.
I mean. If we're being completely, cold, honest. She wouldn't feel anything, and CIPA life expectancy is under 25yo. So whynt learn something from it -- and if if benefits you, all the better! ;)
This was the social media influencer side of him. But most in the medical field that I know always speak higher of ASD. House did a wonderful job with him in techniques that were not shown.

I actually liked House's way. You should watch the episode if you haven't, especially if you have ASD. It shows our challenges as strengths just like House's challenges are enveloped with his strengths. If you're just a parent of an autistic child, please disregard this comment and please do not interact with me. This is a disclaimer because I will react very "poorly," according to you.
@@vevaren8155Yeah, Autism support is pretty awful. Even the strengths quoted here are a little bit on the "autistic genius" side. There are plenty of positives with Autism, don't get me wrong. but the "autistic people are math geniuses" thing gets old. But what you're dealing with post-diagnosis is common and sucks. But I hope this can give you hope, the neurodiversity community is growing, so us nd folks are getting better support through community and representation.
House knowing stuff like Raccoon poop is one of the clear cut cases where you can tell he's basically Sherlock Holmes as a doctor. Sherlock, in his stories ( and in the shows ) also has this random knowledge like knowing where a certain soil type originates from, which he uses in his case. You're not meant to question it, it's just Sherlock and House being 2000 IQ and thinking above what normal humans can do.
Or they could be like me and spend their every waking moment reading and researching and remember 90% of everything they read. Did you know there is a fungas that targets ants and invades their brain until the fungus is running their body more than their own instincts? Read that in a Ranger Rick in 1998.
I think you’re spot on about the comparison :) House’s character is built so that there’s certain obsession and blur of morality in the pursuit of truth in his practice and profession as he struggles with underlying substance use disorder in his personal life. And of course, Dr Wilson to House is the equivalent of Watson to Holmes, being the one true friend that somehow finds him tolerable with the concomitant admiration for his inquisitive mind
I have no problem with thinking that House figured what could possibly be the cause and then looking it up to be sure. He doesn't have to be unrealistically smart, he makes a lot of mistakes throughout the show.
I love how dr. Mike is so immersed in the show when the mess up a diagnosis or calls the show out when they found something that would’ve been caught in a test they didn’t need 9:27
I LOVE that you are doing this. My mother was a critical care Ob/Gyn Med. Asst. and I was a Surgical Tech. We used to watch ER together and anytime someone pulled a needle cap off with their teeth or used Epi to treat everything, we’d throw popcorn at the TV. We also loved HOUSE but graduated by then to yelling BS at the TV. 😂
To be fair, I prefer drama in my tv dramas over realism and maaaybe learn something interesting along the way. If I wanted realism I would be watching a documentary or instructional videos. :D
I loved House. And I looked up stuff from the show all the time, so I sorted out the nonsense pretty easily. However, I was able to quickly identify when my grandmother had a stroke by using the FAST nuemonic, which was featured in an episode of House. I thought the show did a great job of presenting realistic medical conditions and then having the creativity to to mix in some fiction, in order to fit the narrative of House's cases. The explanation for why House's team does all the tests and procedures is also spelled out several times throughout the show. But obviously Dr Mike is just reacting to individual episodes and isn't aware of the context.
I used to think dr. House was unrealistic because he was so mean. Now as an adult, I realize house is unrealistic because he actually works hard to help patients. This isn’t even an attack on doctors, it’s on admin.
3:05 CIPA case. House wanted the nerve biopsy to get access to the insensitive nerve endings of the patient to graft them to his own leg to be pain free.
I saw a common trend with Dr. Mike's commentary on the initial admission of patients. Dr. Mike presumes that patients get to House fresh - but that's actually very rare. Patients get to House when every other avenue had already failed to produce results, he's the last resort when no one else can make sense of the case.
5:06 “How does she know?! Oh because the thermometer was still in her mouth” Me: DUUUUHHH!!! (as if I know literally anything about medicine whatsoever and haven’t even heard of 98% of the words on here)
The blooper of the tapeworm removal is actually very funny. Basically the guts prop got yanked too hard and fell out of her stomach and House just said "Oops, sorry about that"
House is a specialist for weird cases. They say it in one chapter. Patients go to regular hospitals and when they realise they are “zebras” they sent them to house’s hospital
My only critique is that it is not something that people grow out of and some of us get diagnosed as adults. (his referral to us as children may be in reference to the episode, but it is not a kid thing though like everyone else we do adapt as we get older and thus our masking increases.)
@@theanarchonazbolinquisition What's wrong about that? Maybe they've seen other people on the spectrum be appreciative of good and compassionate professionals before.

@@jeansierra6997honeslty so true. I have cats and dogs and my one dog is right up with my sassiest cat with attitude. She had the craziest side eyes when she was PO, which most of the time was to the other dogs. She got even worse the older she got and when she didn’t want to go outside or get in the car she would plant herself firmly on her but and turn her head away while side eyeing us, her body language exclaimed “I’m not looking at you because I’m not acknowledging you, I can’t hear you or see you so therefore I dont have to move” She’s passed away now but I still remember her head jerk and side eye clear as day. She’d jerk her head back too like she was trying to say “don’t touch me, im mad “ and when you scolded her she would give you most diva glare. 😂 Or she would do a puppy dog face and crawl around on her stomach. Manipulative and a diva. And the smartest dog we ever had. Cats honestly just don’t care most of the time. Only one of my cats embodies the same diva spirit my dog, and we got her shortly after my dogs passing. They are the same coloring, both smaller than our other pets, and both sassy as hell. It’s like after she died she came back as a cat 😂
They tell us several times that CIPA patients who have had accidents need testing which you later agree is needed except the nerve biopsy. Each season, House has a pet procedure. My favorite was the year he wanted to give everyone malaria.
Does Doctor Mike not know that House is Sherlock Holmes?? When you know that, the incredible attention to detail and drawing wild yet accurate conclusions based on what he sees makes wayyyy more sense! 😂
My grandmother had CIPA and I was born with it too.. but mine went away thankfully. I have stories of her having her hand on a stove that was turned on, and also stories from my own time with it. If I had any complaints about something feeling 'weird' I would be rushed to the hospital. One such time was when I complained my ankle felt funny. I had been walking on a broken ankle for a week. To this day I still say ow when something impacts me even if it doesn't hurt because I trained myself to say ow when I 'thought' something should hurt based on observation of others. I was also allergic to cold temperatures... I'm glad the human body has the ability to change over the years as both of those cleared up on their own. The first sounds nice on paper but it terrible to live with...
38:38 here again, you presume that House's team is seeing this patient without any other doctor having done the "standard' (horses not zebras). I get the impression you're misunderstanding that aspect of the show, and therefore are wrongly questioning the sequence of tests being suggested (not that I'm support of it either, but it helps the rationale when considered from that point of view).
Dr. Mike, I wanted to thank you SO SO much for including the vomit warning with relevant timestamp. As someone with emetophobia, this is the first time I’ve seen accommodation executed that well and I’m incredibly grateful for it
in the autistic eating sand kid episode, you should've included the segment where house basically controls and comforts the kid with a repetition method. i always thought that was a really nice approach to these kinds of subjects and something that could be presented as good and helpful. anyways always great to see these videos!
Yeah, but then he followed it up later by getting the child to copy him taking medicine and claiming he was more reactive than sentient. "Monkey see monkey do." I've always had mixed thoughts about that episode^^'
@@synthwolfe8906 there's lots of blurred lines when it comes to no defibrillator available but compressions are the first line of defense when it comes to no breathing or a pulse compressions are doing it manually after the heart has done its fluttery thing and it stopped but if the heart is doing the fluttery thing we can just tell it to stop with a jolt
This is actually a pretty good representation of defibrillation, much better than "jumpstarting the heart". For anyone wondering, when a defibrillator delivers a shock to someone, it essentially stops the electrical activity of the heart so the pacemaker cells (preferably from the SA node) can remember how to beat properly and effectively. All a defibrillation does is it stops the heart so it can fix itself. This is why there are really only two* shockable rhythms. Asystole (flat-lining), isn't one of them because there already is no electrical activity to stop. It would be like trying to turn a computer off that's already off. And compressions essentially just buy time, keeping the body's cells oxygenated until we can fix that heart.
Yes, Dr. House routinely performs treatments without first performing tests to confirm that the patient has the problem he's treating them for. The usual excuse is that the patient will be dead before the test results can be processed. House says that if the treatment works, that proves that his diagnosis is correct. This almost never works - the treatment almost always causes new problems. However, the new problems tend to be diagnostically useful: they usually provide evidence that the patient has some entirely different problem. I'm fairly certain most doctors don't do this. They usually have time to confirm a diagnosis before starting treatment.
"I hope it's a neurosurgeon doing it and not like, Foreman" when they were drilling into the guys head. That cracked me up because Foreman is the neurosurgeon on House's team 😂 his whole team is made up of specialists. Theyre sent patients when the regular doctors can't figure out what's wrong.
Neurosurgery takes forever to learn. Foreman's residency would be in his early to mid thirties. He definitely wouldnt be working for House because he could make 10x more anywherr else.
This is essentially every doctor ever. Whittle away what it is not, out of the symptom matching candidates, until you are left with what it is. Not magic, just methodical, evidence based practice.

The only thing Dr. Mike didn't understand about the show is that House's assistants were not residents, but medical specialists. Foreman was a Neurologist, Chase was a Surgeon, intensivist, cardiologist and Dr. Cameron was an Immunologist.
also he didn't understand that the reason why they are starting with zebras because the cases will only fall on them if the other doctors cant diagnose them and thus, the horses are already determined and excluded.
They are House's residents though. They're not running a department, they're not general practitioners, they're working under House.

Every hospital has a real House. Worked with a radiologist for a period of time and his life was working at the hospital and everybody wanted him because he was almost supernatural. I remember some techs playing around with a new heart monitor for MRI with sound over a speaker system, all of a sudden he pops his head out of his office and asks "Who's wearing the heart monitor?" and a woman raised her hand and he said "Schedule an appointment with your doctor, you have (some heart disease)".. and then he just went back to work.

Working in pharmacy years ago, we actually had a patient who had an inhaler and one of their triggers was an allergic reaction to their cat. During a medicine use review with the pharmacist they were discussing how they were using their inhaler as they didn’t seem to be getting the expected symptom relief. It turns out that the patient had somehow misunderstood as it was prescribed to help her reaction to the cat, so when she had a flare up or attack she was spraying the inhaler on the cat. So yes, using an inhaler that wrong can absolutely happen. But it’s hard to believe until you’ve actually encountered it yourself.

Regarding horses vs zebras, House states several times during the series “I look for zebras because other doctors have already ruled out horses”.
Can see that, but we do often see cases where the patient comes in and House is the first Dr they see for that specific medical ailment. Or the other doctors are trying to rule out the horses, but House comes along and insists it's a zebra. If it were a case of patients coming to him because they did not get answers from other Dr's or treatments, it would make more sense.

Something most people miss is that House and Wilson are based on Sherklock Holmes and Watson. Much like Holmes had an opium addiction (that's what he was smoking in his pipe), House has a Vicadin addiction. Its also why House can diagnose people so quickly with weird sight clues. Just like how Holmes did with criminals. House actually lives on Baker Street. Holmes played the Violin, House plays the Piano. Both only have one friend. They even had a patient named Moriarty that shot house in one episode.

House's version of Holmes' violin is more the electric guitar that he has in his office.
Great comment, but as a fan I have to point out that Holmes smoked tobacco out of his pipe, and often smoked while he was working a case. His morphine and cocaine addictions were mainly injected at various strengths depending on how bored he was, and he never used them while on a case. He has smoked opium from a pipe in the stories, but an opium pipe is quite different from a tobacco pipe, Holmes is rarely if ever pictured or associated with one, and I'm not sure if he ever even did it in his apartment... Aside from the "that's what he smokes in his pipe" part though, I agree 100% with your comment.

Not sure if Dr Mike knows but House was originally meant to be a detective show, but there were too many CSI etc programs so they turned it into Medical Doctor Holmes. The reason House knows all the random facts and obscure diseases is because he is meant to be super intelligent and extremely widely read, and he picks up on all the small things that everyone else misses.
Basically he has autism... Like I hate they wrote him with Aspergers or high functioning autism but they didn't touch it. Bad with social ques, hating to talk to patiants not making eye contact if he can help it with any one, retaining tons of random facts, and that he has to solve the problem complex. Those all autism symptoms believe it or not. I got Asperger and I am 39 when I was young I was just called "antisocial" but to smart to have autism or other issues. Like I am good at math bad with people, and I love hyper-focusing on mechanical things. In his case he hyper-focuses on medical things.
Like he should be a rolemodel for high funcitoning autism. Instead I say I have autism and people think of the screaming kid eating sand, or Rainman thanks to tv, and movies sigh..

The cases shown in House MD are rare cases, they are generally picked up by his team when other doctors have not been able to figure it out. They touch upon this in a few episodes and imply it in how they approach the cases. This might be why so much data is available and the common ailments are ruled out.
Yes! House says in one episode where they speak about the horses and zebras, something to the tune of “We do when they’re sick enough to make it to me.” Because usually by the time they make it to House, the patient has seen 10s of doctors who have already ran the regular panels of tests.

I feel like this is true in theory (and explains their access to all the rare specialized procedures and knowledge of rare conditions), but a lot of these cases are presented as just random cases coming in to them, and then House comes in, points out something, and gets obsessed.
Like with the child, the other doctor gave a normal diagnosis that could've been true, and then House does something and commence House MD episode.

Please. House would kick him out just for being a D.O.! He’s hell to nurses, I’m sure he has even worse opinions about Osteopathy! lol
I love that Mike's prevailing question is "How does he live this way?" To be fair to the show, the point of House is that he doesn't. He's a mess. He's utterly obsessed with his work because it distracts from his trainwreck of a life. And, also, it's established throughout the show that he speaks a little Mandarin, and his knowledge of other languages is usually shown with dictionaries in-hand.
But yes, it's so stupid, I love this dumbass show.
I just love how Mike just loses his mind a little bit more each time the house does something medically unethical or just downright stupid
House in general is an ethics nightmare. Source: religiously watch House
LOL... it's getting almost too painful to watch.
house has never done anything stupid or medically unethical house is always right hahahah
🤣🤣🤣
my Favorite part is when it zooms in suddenly and he exclaims with a mighty reverb about how the doctors are insane
@@theunknown7683I actually took an ethics course in college based on House 😂 it was…interesting
The dialogue between the girl with no pain and House is so funny.
-I can't run anywhere without checking my feet for swelling.
-I CAN'T RUN.
Also the scene where the girl was about to jump, to be fair, what did Foreman expect House to do? Through his cane at her? Run to save her? If Foreman had used that time to call security instead maybe they could've prevented her fall.
We had a Doctor in Rockhampton Australia. He was very kind, but like Dr. House, he could watch you enter the room and know what was wrong. He was a brilliant diagnostician. Never had been known to be wrong. He was a great loss to the city.
I love the fact Dr.Mike compares paediatrics to veterinary medicine. I'm a vet and I make that same comparison all the time. You have a dependent who cannot communicate / act as their own beneficiary. They also come with a very worried "parent" who would often move mountains in order to make their little ones better. I’d love to say the only difference is that human children don’t try to bite you when examining them but I have heard different from some friends in the human medicine side of things.
This made me laugh. I have a stepdaughter, fur children and a new niece. I see the spectrum lol
Both bite. 😂
My mum is a paediatrician (of about 40 years). She says the same thing.
The joke goes "What do you call a veterinarian who can only treat one species? - A physician.", but it appears the real answer is "A pediatrician." A physician is someone who additionally needs their patient to talk to them.
It's really astonishing how much we expect from veterinarians.
Human elderly dementia patients bite. I guarantee children do too.
Also, both children and pets will swallow questionable things.
14:26 "Why did your date scream? That was a weird revelation." I'm convinced Doctor Mike could have straight up been a comedian if he wasn't busy being a Doctor. That line got me good.
I feel sorry for his wife 😂
As a financial professional, I SO relate to staring in the camera and deadpan saying "My knowledge of ______ is not up to date" when a client comes in with a super uncommon financial situation. Nice one XD
I love Doctor Mike’s reaction whenever House or his team does something completely illegal and insane it’s so funny. House has always been a crazy doctor and super unethical. 😂😂
They must make the patients sign papers like what one German borrelia clinic does in Augsburg saying that they have tried EVERYTHING first and it's their last resort etc. Which is why it's OK for them to do otherwise stuff against the guidelines. Like treating pain with antibiotic etc.
21:50 He's only shown doing funny and illegal things, but he does do a lot of research into what could be wrong with his patients. He doesn't just have those medical textbooks in his office for show, he even tells Chase one time to look up what disease it could be, and gives him a hint that it starts with a certain letter while handing him one of the books in his office. That's supposed to showcase him being the experienced person who knows to look things up before asking others, while the team (chase included) are more prone to throw wild guesses depending on their specialties (immune for cameron, neural for foreman, and chase just throws the wildest things at the wall, trying to mimic house)
Except they aren’t just wild guesses but the best guesses they had were based on their experiences. In many cases house needs their input cause he would just be wildly wrong. His team forced him to keep up so that he can maintain his image in front of them. That being the most knowledgeable in the room. It is why he runs them for being blind cause he wants them to appreciate his observant nature
A thing that is rarely ever spoken about, is that House MD, is a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes. Specifically in reference to the themes and characters. Hence the insane intellect and unreal deduction skills of Gregory House, the character.

I've literally had more than one doctor look up something on WebMD while I was in the room
The reason the show deals with "zebras" and not horses(besides from providing a more interesting show) is that House solves cases like puzzles and so he only takes on cases that interest him.
This, yes. But also, it's not always the case, but often is, that House usually isn't the first doctor these patients see, and they often have other doctors' tests and notes to work with and KNOW it's not a normal diagnosis, since the other doctors would have caught it.
Yeah the hospital he works at created a diagnostic dept for him because he'll only take the cases that are like a mystery or that others can't diagnose. Neat, but he must've been so stubborn in order to get it
To add to this as like a tldr, he is usually quite literally the last resort for patients who have crazy symptoms /rare diseases etc. they’ve often been to a multitude of other doctors and the case is very much an impossible case - until House (as the show would have it). And like someone else said he absolutely hates “boring” cases so if he’s accepted it it must be a “zebra”.
And that is also the reason why House gets his own staff of some of the best Doctors, gets away with so much, and gets so many options for tests etc... the Prestige he brings to the Hospital as having the greatest diagnostic department in the world.
@@hulkslayer626and somehow never gets sued even though in some cases he is conducting treatments/test that cause physical pain to patients without informed consent 😂
I have a friend who has CIPA. He has an article in Wired written about him. He travels once a year to Sweden, where they are trying to develop pain control by studying him.

@@JinxdOneHow does hemachromatosis prevent you from feeling tattoos?
@@oldageisdumb Hemochromatosis is a disorder in which the body can build up too much iron in the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, pituitary gland, and joints. It also causes abdominal and joint pain.

In at least two episodes Cuddy talks about what House represents for the hospital moneywise and why he "can do" those crazy stunts. She tells House that she got him for actually a cheap price, because although House is an exceptionally famous doctor in his universe, nobody actually wanted to hire him because he's...well, House. So Cuddy keeps him because it gives the Hospital (Princeton Plainsboro, which is also supposed to be a medical school) tons of prestige. On the other hand, when Stacy, Houses's ex wife, come to work as a lawyer for the Hospital Cuddy tells her that the legal team's job and budget is basically to run damage control for House because they are getting sued all the time, not to mention tons of property damage and expensive treatments he just orders out of the blue. So in one hand House is actually an amazing market strategy because the Hospital gets to brag they have one of the best doctors in the world, but on the other hand House is a huge liability because you'll never know if he's gonna actually cure the patient or stab him with a needle filled with steroids 'just cause'. I think that at some point they actually acknowledge that he's just as likely to kill a patient than to cure him, but the thing is...he's usually right.
Yeah....I guess the deal is, with House, you have a 50/50 (or less) chance of dying-but without him it's much higher because other doctors are less likely to be able to correctly diagnose you.
He works and solves the cases no other doctor can. I guess that why he's so well known.
In real life he absolutely would kill somebody. The writers just aren’t allowed to make him wrong.
You're House lite and the only administrator who'll hire you is the one who hired House classic.
(Probably got the quote slightly wrong but it's from when Cuddy rehires Foreman after his abortive attempt to work at a different episode and comes crawling back.)
Also there's that one episode where it turns out that House actually gets sued less than Cuddy expected so he comes in under budget.
You're a bigger fan than me but i remember when his X came and House couldnt do his thing lol
Also i didnt make it to the end of your story sorry
About the MRI being loud; for anyone who hasn't had one, it's not only WAY louder and more aggressive sounding than that, but there are also random alarms going off between and during the loud, random, aggressive sounding noises.
Those alarms really boost the anxiety when you're already actively focusing on not moving an inch and random loud noises blaring around you.
I think the most impressive aspect of the show is not that House accurately diagnoses his patients but that every conversation/surgery is performed in complete darkness. Like does this hospital exist underground
i think about this all the time 😭
Oh, I remember the episode with CIPA girl. House was so insisting on nerve biopsy not for diagnosys but rather use it for an experimental treatment on himself that he heard of before. The girl was like a rare opportunity for House to find a better way of dealing with the pain.
That one blew my mind, I couldn’t believe how much they put that poor woman through!
I mean. If we're being completely, cold, honest. She wouldn't feel anything, and CIPA life expectancy is under 25yo. So whynt learn something from it -- and if if benefits you, all the better! ;)

First healthcare professional I've seen prop up ASD like that, thank you, Dr Mike being a stand up human being yet again
I am not a medic but as you can see in the comments House inspires people, thanks for the contrast given by real medics ^^
This was the social media influencer side of him. But most in the medical field that I know always speak higher of ASD. House did a wonderful job with him in techniques that were not shown.
@@Nenernener123 nah, Ive had a recent diagnoses and am going through the hoops for support, all ive heard is "how hard certain things are" and how it "impacts me in x, y or z" and it gets tiring.
Maybe Murika is different, I dont know
I actually liked House's way. You should watch the episode if you haven't, especially if you have ASD. It shows our challenges as strengths just like House's challenges are enveloped with his strengths.
If you're just a parent of an autistic child, please disregard this comment and please do not interact with me. This is a disclaimer because I will react very "poorly," according to you.
@@vevaren8155Yeah, Autism support is pretty awful. Even the strengths quoted here are a little bit on the "autistic genius" side. There are plenty of positives with Autism, don't get me wrong. but the "autistic people are math geniuses" thing gets old. But what you're dealing with post-diagnosis is common and sucks. But I hope this can give you hope, the neurodiversity community is growing, so us nd folks are getting better support through community and representation.

“What? Is his heart okay?”
“No.”

House knowing stuff like Raccoon poop is one of the clear cut cases where you can tell he's basically Sherlock Holmes as a doctor. Sherlock, in his stories ( and in the shows ) also has this random knowledge like knowing where a certain soil type originates from, which he uses in his case. You're not meant to question it, it's just Sherlock and House being 2000 IQ and thinking above what normal humans can do.
Or they could be like me and spend their every waking moment reading and researching and remember 90% of everything they read.
Did you know there is a fungas that targets ants and invades their brain until the fungus is running their body more than their own instincts? Read that in a Ranger Rick in 1998.
I think you’re spot on about the comparison :) House’s character is built so that there’s certain obsession and blur of morality in the pursuit of truth in his practice and profession as he struggles with underlying substance use disorder in his personal life. And of course, Dr Wilson to House is the equivalent of Watson to Holmes, being the one true friend that somehow finds him tolerable with the concomitant admiration for his inquisitive mind
Well, considering The Last of Us was a huge success, yeah, I think a lot of people know about Cordiceps now.@@snafubare
I have no problem with thinking that House figured what could possibly be the cause and then looking it up to be sure. He doesn't have to be unrealistically smart, he makes a lot of mistakes throughout the show.

I LOVE that you are doing this. My mother was a critical care Ob/Gyn Med. Asst. and I was a Surgical Tech.

We also loved HOUSE but graduated by then to yelling BS at the TV. 😂

Ditto!
To be fair, I prefer drama in my tv dramas over realism and maaaybe learn something interesting along the way.
If I wanted realism I would be watching a documentary or instructional videos. :D
I loved House. And I looked up stuff from the show all the time, so I sorted out the nonsense pretty easily. However, I was able to quickly identify when my grandmother had a stroke by using the FAST nuemonic, which was featured in an episode of House.
I thought the show did a great job of presenting realistic medical conditions and then having the creativity to to mix in some fiction, in order to fit the narrative of House's cases. The explanation for why House's team does all the tests and procedures is also spelled out several times throughout the show. But obviously Dr Mike is just reacting to individual episodes and isn't aware of the context.
@@nt78stonewobble Me too, sometimes it’s just difficult to shut off that work brain.
I used to think dr. House was unrealistic because he was so mean. Now as an adult, I realize house is unrealistic because he actually works hard to help patients. This isn’t even an attack on doctors, it’s on admin.
I can attest to that.

I saw a common trend with Dr. Mike's commentary on the initial admission of patients. Dr. Mike presumes that patients get to House fresh - but that's actually very rare. Patients get to House when every other avenue had already failed to produce results, he's the last resort when no one else can make sense of the case.

Thank you for talking about ASD like a compassionate and reasonable professional. I and the community appreciate it
My only critique is that it is not something that people grow out of and some of us get diagnosed as adults. (his referral to us as children may be in reference to the episode, but it is not a kid thing though like everyone else we do adapt as we get older and thus our masking increases.)

@@jeansierra6997honeslty so true. I have cats and dogs and my one dog is right up with my sassiest cat with attitude. She had the craziest side eyes when she was PO, which most of the time was to the other dogs.
She got even worse the older she got and when she didn’t want to go outside or get in the car she would plant herself firmly on her but and turn her head away while side eyeing us, her body language exclaimed “I’m not looking at you because I’m not acknowledging you, I can’t hear you or see you so therefore I dont have to move”
She’s passed away now but I still remember her head jerk and side eye clear as day. She’d jerk her head back too like she was trying to say “don’t touch me, im mad “ and when you scolded her she would give you most diva glare. 😂

Cats honestly just don’t care most of the time. Only one of my cats embodies the same diva spirit my dog, and we got her shortly after my dogs passing. They are the same coloring, both smaller than our other pets, and both sassy as hell. It’s like after she died she came back as a cat 😂

Does Doctor Mike not know that House is Sherlock Holmes?? When you know that, the incredible attention to detail and drawing wild yet accurate conclusions based on what he sees makes wayyyy more sense! 😂
House needs super slow mo critical thinking/situational awareness montages
My grandmother had CIPA and I was born with it too.. but mine went away thankfully. I have stories of her having her hand on a stove that was turned on, and also stories from my own time with it. If I had any complaints about something feeling 'weird' I would be rushed to the hospital. One such time was when I complained my ankle felt funny. I had been walking on a broken ankle for a week. To this day I still say ow when something impacts me even if it doesn't hurt because I trained myself to say ow when I 'thought' something should hurt based on observation of others. I was also allergic to cold temperatures... I'm glad the human body has the ability to change over the years as both of those cleared up on their own. The first sounds nice on paper but it terrible to live with...
38:38 here again, you presume that House's team is seeing this patient without any other doctor having done the "standard' (horses not zebras). I get the impression you're misunderstanding that aspect of the show, and therefore are wrongly questioning the sequence of tests being suggested (not that I'm support of it either, but it helps the rationale when considered from that point of view).

That's so true 😂😂 what an obvious observation as well, can't believe I didn't connect the dots lol

Then what would be the functional equivalent of percussive maintenance (i.e. hitting it until it works)?
@@synthwolfe8906 there's lots of blurred lines when it comes to no defibrillator available but compressions are the first line of defense when it comes to no breathing or a pulse compressions are doing it manually after the heart has done its fluttery thing and it stopped but if the heart is doing the fluttery thing we can just tell it to stop with a jolt
This is actually a pretty good representation of defibrillation, much better than "jumpstarting the heart".
For anyone wondering, when a defibrillator delivers a shock to someone, it essentially stops the electrical activity of the heart so the pacemaker cells (preferably from the SA node) can remember how to beat properly and effectively. All a defibrillation does is it stops the heart so it can fix itself. This is why there are really only two* shockable rhythms. Asystole (flat-lining), isn't one of them because there already is no electrical activity to stop. It would be like trying to turn a computer off that's already off.
And compressions essentially just buy time, keeping the body's cells oxygenated until we can fix that heart.
Yes, Dr. House routinely performs treatments without first performing tests to confirm that the patient has the problem he's treating them for. The usual excuse is that the patient will be dead before the test results can be processed. House says that if the treatment works, that proves that his diagnosis is correct. This almost never works - the treatment almost always causes new problems. However, the new problems tend to be diagnostically useful: they usually provide evidence that the patient has some entirely different problem.
I'm fairly certain most doctors don't do this. They usually have time to confirm a diagnosis before starting treatment.
"I hope it's a neurosurgeon doing it and not like, Foreman" when they were drilling into the guys head. That cracked me up because Foreman is the neurosurgeon on House's team 😂 his whole team is made up of specialists. Theyre sent patients when the regular doctors can't figure out what's wrong.
Quick correction: Foreman is a neurologist, not a neurosurgeon
Neurosurgery takes forever to learn. Foreman's residency would be in his early to mid thirties. He definitely wouldnt be working for House because he could make 10x more anywherr else.
"We said it but we also said everything else so I'm not gonna take credit for it"
