Television doctors you see are always so loveable and kind. Well, toss that notion right out the window and meet the latest man of medicine, Doctor Gregory House.
House (Hugh Laurie) is the world's leading authority on infectious disease and one of the best doctors as far as curing patients goes. He never lets a mysterious disease go unsolved. 
However, he is definitely not your average doctor. In fact, most of the time House is cranky and quite rude. He refuses to wear a lab coat so patients won't ask him for medical advice. In virtually every scene you will find him taking a few pain killers, which, over time, he has become addicted to due to a problem with his thigh muscle.
House isn't your typical medical show. It doesn't go too deep into the lives of the doctors, but instead focuses on the patients and what goes on in the hospital. It is really easy to get attached to a show like this. Each episode is just so compelling: it is like they are pulling you right into the patient's room.
Every week, there is a new patient that has some mysterious disease and it is left up to House and his team to figure out what is wrong. They always diagnose the patient with what they think is wrong, then they treat it, and they always find out that their hypothesis was wrong. When this happens, they start from scratch and use the facts to redirect their course of treatment.
House hand picked some of the brightest doctors around to be part of his team including; Neurologist, Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), immunologist, Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and intensevist, Dr. Robert Chase (Robert Sean Leonard) Without these three doctors there is no way that "House" would still be one of the top medical shows that it is today.
This show is so different than any other medical show I have ever seen. It is such a refreshing change from the usual doctors on television that immediately know what is wrong with the patient. This series really shows that medicine is almost always trial and error and it proves that no doctor knows exactly what they are doing all the time.
