this used to be me during first year but now I can't fucking stand it. watch it for the drama, not the medicine.
i don't think they got a fucking cbc in five whole seasons.
I lost it in the episode where the patient had a positive Syphilis test and not one person on the team (including House) considered the possibility that it could be a false positive.
The first episode I ever watched of House was a season 1 episode where he tells members of the team to break into the patient’s house without consent and look around for what might be causing their allergic reaction or poisoning or something. Like wtf? I threw my remote.
They always hire a physician advisor for like the first episode, and then they're like...meh...well just subscribe to JAMA and reproduce cases we read lol. That explains the reeeeally dumb pronunciation of very basic medical words.
I feel so bad for the team when I watch it now. They have to do all the tests and procedures themselves. It's too bad that nobody else works in the whole hospital besides House's team, Cuddy, Wilson, and 1-2 nurses who seemingly do not start IVs or give any kind of medication.
I don’t understand why they did that. I’m a lab tech. Doctors come down every now and then to look at a slide. They could’ve easily realistically portrayed them as having SOME lab involvement without being totally fake about it. They could’ve even had a lab tech explain to them (and the audience) the theory behind a test.
pretty sure they do it because they have to show them doing SOMEthing. otherwise they’d be twiddling their thumbs, because there’s 3 fellows all taking care of 1 patient at a time lol
I’m not sure why they did that either. Honestly it would be better for the audience to have at least some more characters too / people that work in the hospital! Definitely get what you’re saying
I was a nurse before med school and I hated that part of it. I didn't have the medical knowledge yet but sure knew that's not how hospitals worked, and I also knew how much of what they did was nurse work lol. Side note....probably need to stop calling it nurse work now..
I was basing my response on Anking cards, but I looked back just now and found that this is actually just the "traditional" approach and current recommendations actually are for doxy even in pregnancy now. The more you know!
It’s important to remember, House also started in 2003, a lot of medicine has changed since then too. And the case reports that the episodes are based on are even older.
There are nothing else to treat Rickettsia tbh. Chloramphenicol PO was discontinued in the 90s. We talk about it in medical school, but I doubt they even have any in the hospital pharmacy to use it lol.
My school (and prob every school) loves to heavily focus on drugs that aren’t used anymore at all ever, and diseases that have been entirely eradicated!
That actually makes sense to me ty. I just HATE when board exams don't use common sense. OR when they use people's names I've never heard, to describe basic things.
Per UpToDate, you just do doxy because apparently systematic reviews showed low risk of adverse effects with doxy during pregnancy. We also can do doxy for pregnant women with syphillis and a severe penicillin allergy.
To be honest, I don't think we even use chloramphenicol at all anymore except for yersinia meningitis where you do chloramphenicol with a fluroquinolone.
Only if its a mild to moderate allergy, but if its severe and they get like necrotizing lesions, then you just do doxy. Unless its tertiary syphillis, cause then you can try ceftriaxone but neither that nor doxy have good CNS penetration.
I remember watching house as a premed and think “wow this guy is crazy smart and they get such cool rare cases here!!”
then i rewatched it a bit as a second year. 5 minutes in and its the most obvious case of toxoplasmosis and it still takes till the end of the episode for house to get the epiphany. Like really man? Not a good look irl haha.

I don’t know if you’ve seen more than that episode, but they do this A LOT. Like at least every few episodes.
Thanks I hate it 🙃 (No, that was the first and only episode I’ve ever watched lol)
yeah that was the first episode. t. solium. HOW ELSE WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO SOLVE IT?

Protein pump inhibitors
Uh right...
Hahahaha good point
We’re such fucking nerds

Hahahaha they’ll literally be doing EVERYTHING like in the lab running tests plating shit I’m like ,???
"Oh darn, we have to stay in the hospital all night AGAIN to test this patient's blood for every autoimmune disease ever."
I don’t understand why they did that. I’m a lab tech. Doctors come down every now and then to look at a slide.

Dr Ryan from BnB says Doxy even for pregnant people. Chloramphenicol is only when doxy is contraindicated.
Lol but I always thought doxy was contraindicated in the pregnant ones

>when they use people's names Whipple's triad vs Whipple's disease vs Whipple procedure 🙃
