    oh come on

    there's nothing wrong with this article. House is ridiculous, not just because of the obvious beautiful hospital or beautiful people, but the way he dissects every piece of info the patients give him. Doctors often listen to patients with half an ear, they don't pore over every detail of the conversation and if the patient dies, he dies. I don't fault doctors for that, it's just the way it is. And we know it's TV, thanks so for pointing that out. So this is entertainment? Yes, like a cartoon. And I am all for cartoon-like live action. Hugh Laurie should go back to Jeeves and Wooster. That was believable. More believable than taking a man who's been in a coma for years to Vegas and getting him to shoot himself so his son can live. There's dramatic license and then there's complete idiocy.
