Lyrics
Dr. Gregory House is the titular main protagonist of the television comedy drama House, MD. Although he is generally seen as a brilliant and talented doctor and a saver of lives, he will use any means necessary to achieve his goals, regardless of ethics or legality. He is a brilliant diagnostician who uses his genius-level intellect to diagnose and treat patients with the most difficult cases.
House is tall and thin with salt-and-pepper hair, unkempt stubble, and blue eyes. He usually wears unprofessional clothing, such as T-shirts, and refuses to wear a white coat. He also walks with a cane.
House is extremely misanthropic, and believes most people are stupid, selfish, and unethical. He views his patients more as entertaining puzzles to solve. Despite this, he does on some level care about his patients and will always put in every effort to help them. That being said, he usually refuses to see them directly, and when he does, he is rude, abrasive, and sarcastic he also treats his staff and coworkers with the same contempt.
Cool!
House was raised by an abusive father. Since his father was in the military, House traveled a lot. He had no real friends growing up. He learned many languages along his travels, although he often pretended not to speak these languages in order to avoid dealing with people. While his father was stationed in Japan, he saw a janitor working in a hospital. Despite being a "buraku", or untouchable, the doctors were forced to heed the janitor's medical advice. This is what inspired House to become a doctor, despite his contempt for people.
At a medical conference, House befriended Doctor James Wilson. After Wilson was arrested for property damage, House bailed him out.
He had no clue the years of pain he had ahead of him.
Ten years before the start of the series, House moved in with his girlfriend, Stacy Warner. Five years into their relationship, House had an infarction in his leg. He had an embolectomy, despite the risk for infection and death. House asked to be put into a medically induced coma for the pain. While in the coma, Stacy had them remove the necrotic muscle to reduce the risk of death. This left House with a permanent limp and chronic leg pain. He needed Vicodin for the pain and became addicted. House and Stacy eventually broke up.
Years later, his next next ex of course, broke up with him after many incidents of him being too much of an epic genius. Lisa Cuddy, just couldnt stand to bear his intellect anymore, and dumped him quite poorly.
So he drove his 1988 Dodge Dynasty into her dining room, nearly killing her guests and child in the process!
Being based as usual, he goes to prison for a year. After that year, his best buddy Eric Foreman whose now in charge of his old hospital hires him back in an hour of desperate need.
Even so, he remains vexed. Can Doctor House save his ass this time? Find out, in Season 8, of House M.D.
