Surgeries in there now and again, that the patient, he can simply sit and instead with one of its handheld console plays. His patients he behaves towards disrespectful and cynical.

Series style

Almost every sequence begins with the future patients, especially the first signs of the disease shows. In the next scene we see Dr. House, of the forthcoming task is, whereupon he and his team through the differential diagnosis of the disease symptoms analyzed. This and other elements remind act strongly to the less successful series Medical Investigation. In further aggravate the patient lies frequently or as unimportant evaluated and therefore not mentioned details a rapid diagnosis. It almost shakes the series regularly on the style means that the first elected treatment to an apparent improvement of the health leads, the patient, however, a drastic setback in the form of symptoms such as an epileptic seizure suffered.

In addition to his work as an expert for rare diseases will house the National Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, again and again to his duties in the ambulance recalls, in which he (rather unwillingly) is also simpler to deal with cases, although he sometimes the solution of his current problem comes.

Often his suggestions provocative therapy. So he prescribes for example, a man disguised as Santa Claus with intestinal problems cigarettes, a patient who is on Viagra, he vitamin tablets and a patient with suspected sleep problems he dealt with sweets, as the placebo effect. When he was the negative test results of a study on sexually transmitted diseases receives calls his patients "GUSB," which means: "Geil and saublöd" (Season 12 of the follow-3).

For many surgical procedures or the definition of the disease are computer graphics and models used latex, the interior of the sick and pathogens screen display, similar to the CSI TV series.

Criticism

The German Leitmedien assessed Dr. House quite different. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung attested of a production series, the "fairly conventional and any reasonably entertaining after the known pattern" was on. In allusion to the times of CSI-like camera optics, the newspaper said: "Because blood helps some little train trips in which the camera through the arteries of patients hurry." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, however, Dr. House called the "medical miesepetrigsten history of television " and the series" absolutely great. " The newspaper sees the series heroes "in the tradition of the great Fernsehekel Alfred Tetzlaff and Al Bundy." Die Neue Zürcher Zeitung in turn provides the series in connection with roughly the same time presented hospital series Gray's Anatomy and Nip Tuck: This series would now " gefuehlsdusel the soap Doctors of the Nineties " to replace.

Parallels to Sherlock Holmes

The original idea was to create a thriller in a medical environment to meet. "Through the lies and secrets of patients should come to the diagnosis," said David Shore, creator of Dr. House. The figure of Gregory House is in the novel detective Sherlock Holmes-remember, and in fact there are commonalities between the two characters who solve problems that others can not solve. Both Holmes and House are trying wherever possible to choose the cases that interest them. Although both are different professions, but also use unusual methods to solve their case to come closer. Both consume drugs: While Holmes occasionally injects cocaine and morphine, House regularly takes hydrocodone (vicodin) an.

Another parallel lies not only in the phonetic similarity of names of the two main characters ( "House" means "house", "Holmes" is reminiscent of "home", so "home") as well as the full name of their only real friend ( "Dr . James Wilson "with Dr. House, compared with" Dr. John Watson, "when Sherlock Holmes).

Already in the pilot episode is the name of the patient at eagle Rebecca Irene Adler in A Scandal in Bohemia refer. In addition, House in the last episode of the second season of a man named Jack Moriarty wounded, suggesting Sherlock Holmes' archenemy, Professor Moriarty points. In addition, both figures the house or apartment number 221b (see Season 2, Episode 7).

As Sherlock Holmes observed Dr. House and his patients exactly mastered the ability of small things like clothes, gear, skin discolorations, etc. to draw conclusions, which gave him at the hospital diagnosis comes to the rescue. Dr. House also plays for relaxation or for his friend Wilson piano, as in some episodes can be seen. Moreover, he dominated another instrument - the guitar. This is a parallel to Holmes' violin. Holmes also plays to his thoughts or Watson to arrange a pleasure to make.
