Dr. House, MD

If you are a medical student, an aspiring Doctor, or just simply a person who wants to know more about health and diseases, I strongly suggest you to watch the series of Dr. House, MD. This TV sequel really does so much help in my exams and thesis. I am a registered medical technologist now and somehow Dr. Gregory House became one of my mentors. Chaching!

Directed and written by David Shore, Dr House is one of my favourite shows which has a mixture of comedy, lovestory, drama, comedy, some episodes includes horror, puzzle, comedy, action, educational and oh! I forgot to mention-comedy. Tee-hee!

HAHAHAHAHA

 

Dr. House is the head of diagnostic medicine in Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He has a team who helps him in brain storming about a complex patient’s condition. Actually, it appeared that he is good enough to figure the disease affecting the patient. But I do enjoy watching his colleagues, especially when they became House’s specimen for sarcasm.  In the movie, he shows lack of sympathy to his patients because he believes that he can do his job well if he doesn’t have any attachment with patients. Rude, but he has a point.

One episode that really helped me a lot in my studies is the “Socratic method” which features a woman suffering from Wilson’s disease. I had a bad time memorizing the pathophysiology of this condition then my classmate gave me a tip to watch that episode so I could understand the topic very well. And viola! That tip saved my soul from burning in the fire lake of failure!

Here’s the story. The woman named Lucille was diagnosed of having schizophrenia. Later on, she developed deep-vein thrombosis. Dr. House first theory is that the patient has Vitamin K deficiency ‘cause it shows in some of her laboratory tests. But the patient expresses other symptoms apart from VKD. She has mental disorder, thrombosis, cirrhosis and the last symptom-copper colored ring around her corneas indicating that she is positive in having Wilson’s disease. I wonder if there’s a copper colored contact lenses. Uhm. Moving on, there are lots of Dr. House episodes that really hit my interests. Some medical problems include Ascaris lumbricoides adults in the brain, Echinococcus granulusos in the liver, viruses that killed many young people and various mental problems. It’s good to learn when your mentor has humor, right? Anyway, you can watch some episodes on youtube.
