The Dissector - "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

"DDx, people?"

August 14th 2006 09:17

To the uninitiated, "DDx" is the abbrev. of "differential diagnosis"..and I bet no one speaks those phrases as many times as none other than Dr House himself..
So, who is he? Come on, you can’t claim ignorance on this one..
House-ism has taken the world by storm..
With all the medical talks, sometimes I do wonder whether ppl get it or not..

It does seem kind of daunting, when even I, myself, as a med student have to look up some refs for the med mumbo jumbo thrown into the series..
But of course, it doesn't matter if you're watching it for the sake of entertainment..
Most importantly, to get lost in that blue, blue eyes..*sigh*
Oh well, since this is my first entry, I guess a bit of formal introduction wouldn’t hurt..
First up, Dr House himself..full name: Dr Gregory House..called Greg by his ex-gf (Stacy, who I very much don’t like)..a damaged, cynical I.D.(infectious disease) & nephrology specialist..(but seriously, there are moments that you can say-he is just human after all)..for all his brilliance in medical field and all the grand display of his “jadedness”, I guess deep down, he really cares for his patients..in a rough, brutally honest, ungentlemanly manner of his, that is..
And who should come next?..his three stooges..or his best buddy (the only one who could put up with all his irritating ways)..
I’ll go with the three stooges first..Cameron, Chase and Foreman..Cameron specialised in immunology (basically things about your body’s defence mechanism), Foreman is a neurologist..Chase?I have no idea..maybe an expert in making half-cute faces..yeah,yeah..he’s an intensivist (intensive care medicine)

Wilson..now,he’s a smooth guy..an oncologist..a really empathic,considerate,caring-you name it..he’s prolly got the best bedside manners of the lot (apart from Cameron)..besides being House’s conscience at times (not that House would listen)
Cuddy..she’s one tough lady..being a female dean of a clinical school speaks for itself..but she too, I think got a soft spot for House (everyone in this drama does, apparently..except for the occasional temp roles)..she let House get away with almost anything!
Last but not least, Stacy..I should refrain from saying much about her..but the fact she could even think (let alone do it) with her ex-bf while her husband is still wheelchair-bound..argh!

I love House! The original limping, hard-talking, motorcycle riding, super-smart tough guy

I actually only started watching a couple of weeks ago because my house-mate is addicted. Now alas I'm addicted as well.

Hugh Laurie is great - his American accent is pretty damn good... I heard he was in Blackadder?

He was great in Blackadder. It is strange seeing him act without some kind of stupid look on his face. I keep expecting him to start making silly puns.

I watched him in a Brit movie-Maybe Baby..
It was hilarious!
I wonder how long he trained to get the accent right..
Somehow when I see House and himself in real life, I couldn't think of them as the same person!
