Anybody watch house/medical shows/studying medicine?
    #19375827 - 01/06/14 04:50 AM (10 years, 25 days ago)

I've been watching house lately and they seem to go over the differential diagnosis like they know all the symptoms and causes of each disease by heart. I was thinking, holy fuck, if I had all that knowledge from simple research or documentaries and stuff I would know how to do simple diagnoses for common diseases and their causes (it's all relevant cuz I'm human), how cool is that? I mean, there's only a few categories the disorders will fit in right? But all of them are different in terms of signs that can point to anything unless you have enough to mark off your list.

Anyways I'm just rambling I'm not even a medical student

What do you guys think?

Im in medical field and I do enjoy medical shows. However dramas aren't my bag. My job is stressful enough. Scrubs is fun to watch and occasionally house. <~~~~~thats all theatrics and usually very rare scenarios. The thing about a diagnosis is there are general parameters, however individual results vary and some people either have completely non textbook symptoms or they dont know how to explain how they are feeling on top of whatever bullshit diagnosis they pulled off their webmd app that can really throw a wrench in things.

LMAO. that's hilarious. I feel like u learn more from house than scrubs though , it's usually simple hospital procedures in scrubs but in house it's like a differential diagnosis simplified enough for normal people to understand if you listen closely enough, that's why I like house lol.

Just the definitions of different disorders, the last episode I watched had an ending of a guy who took ecstasy cut with a type of gout medication (plant extract colchicine) that happened to damage the body on high doses.

Who the fuck cuts MDMA with toxic medication in high doses? But that's the part of the learning, from the mistakes from the show :lol:

Despite being one of the most ancient medicines known to man, colchicine is fucking expensive.

I liked the last few episodes, when Wilson got cancer. Seemed like the show benefited from having more of a plot IMO. The episodes where house was being investigated by the cop were better too IMO, furthering my opinion.

I'd also like to make that girl "13" walk funny for a couple days :yesnod:

I wish they had killed more of the characters because most of them were shitty.
First two seasons were ok. Then the mystery medical madlib game got tiresome, the interpersonal drama got boring, and the show started taking itself entirely too seriously.

13 has a massive five-head.
Probably would still fuck. Cameron was better looking.

Doesn't sound like the adulteration scenario is too likely then.

Colchicine is supposed to be good for inducing polyploidy in plants. I thought about getting some to mess around with but decided against it, sounds too scary.

You ever watch the episodes where House is being investigated by the DEA after getting a DUI? Dunno what season. I liked those, painted a kind of accurate picture of things addicts will do to get their fix.

And then the last few episodes were by far my favorite. Pretty dark and showed a lot about the grieving process of terminal illness.

It was the most formulaic show on TV:

Opening scene, you think one person is going to be the one, but then somebody else has a seizure. First treatment fails, second treatment nearly kills them. Amyloidosis. House blames lackeys for being stupid. Patient reveals deep secret. House steps across ethical line. Third time is the charm.  House limps home alone. Fin.

No, they just moved in together and got into marital arguments frequently.

I thought the colchicine episode ended up being the pharmacist gave him the wrong cold medicine. Or where there two colchicine episode?

I love House, it's one of my favorite shows, I've watched the whole series 5+ times.

Yeah he did eat LSD once, to cure a headache I do believe.

Cameron is wayyy hotter than 13.

I'm not sure their medicine is always on point with reality though, I remember logo,king at forums back when they were still making episodes where people would semi-frequently say that something they did was wrong.

I could never figure out what Wilson saw in him, myself.

True fact.  My best man and still one of the few people in the world who knows me, a roommate from college, is, you guessed it, Wilson.
