The television doctor was known as much for his rude, abrasive manner as for his expertise in diagnosing rare ailments.

“We would have diagnosed this even without Dr. House,” Schaefer said. “You could have also typed his symptoms into Google and gotten the diagnosis.”

What always cracked me up about House was the panicked diagnosis and the urgency about treating it now! The patient will die!

When that didn’t work there was another panicky diagnosis and treatment that can’t wait for confirmatory testing.

Shotgun medicine at it’s best.
