I still watch House fairly religiously - but I got a different perspective talking to my mom, a nurse and hospice admin (kind of like Cuddy's job) of many years. She said at first that his obnoxiousness seemed too much like doctors she really knew. I answered, yeah? So what? She also said something I couldn't argue with - they rush to diagnosis on too little information and it amounts to roughly experimenting on people and creating suffering. Oddly enough, they've even positioned whole shows around this, chiding House for his lack of concern for patients in his desire to solve the riddle.

But she has been generally horrified at how patients get the shaft in such cases. She says it's too horrifying for her to watch doctors actually do that.

I still like the show, but it does put a new spin on things for me.
