I don't know if 'cared' is the proper description. He's obsessed with knowing the truth and tying up loose ends. That it helps the kid is only a byproduct.

@@WestOfEarth The latter seasons did develop his character and that deep down he did care about his patients wellbeing. However, that isn't what he meant. He cared about getting to the bottom of the case, he cared about getting the right answer. That is still caring. Whether the motivation is the puzzle and getting it right or about patient outcomes is secondary, he cared enough to put in the extra work and get the job done.

​@@anonperson3972YES.

​@@WestOfEarthhis obsession showed a level of care. Your comment is incredibly pointless here. He cared about getting to the truth.

Doing the right thing is just a side effect of finding the solution

Not has to be, needs to be. House is autistic. He cares more about the solution then how to get there.

To be fair, every episode of house is the team (including him) being wrong for 40 minutes until House has an epiphany.

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ shhhhhhh

Would be good if all MD s,nurses and especially all home health nurses saw this show before they graduated. It's a shame how close some pills look alike. Voice of experience. Another problem is when a patient goes to different MDs It's amazing the "mess" they can get themselves into. It appears some MDs don't care what other MDs ordered.

This is why the stuff they used to euthanize animals is now bright pink, because vets have accidentally killed animals before. by giving them the wrong injection.

do prescription drugs in the USA not come in individual trays clearly marked with the medicine name? seems foolish to introduce potential human error with the filling of a bottle.

I sometimes have a bad reaction if my meditation form is changed. Taking tablets? Okay! Capsules? Not so much… What’s worse is that different pharmacies carry different versions of generics, which of course, look different. 😮

Occams razor ? 😕 The term you were looking for is "Laser-focussed" 😒

​​​​@@peterfitzpatrick7032tbf, razor focused is also an expression, its defintelly less used than laser focused. Razor sharp focused is the full expression, and it means you're fully focused on what you're doing while also being aware of your surroundings. (Like a razor) while Laser focused means again you're wholly focused on the task but not anything else. (like a laser)

Except that the pharmacist was correct, he was taking illicit drugs on the side.

@@nunya3163 Doing MDMA twice is harmless 99.9% of the time, someone screwed up the pills as shown at the end of the clip

@@nunya3163 He said he only took ecstasy "twice", which wouldn't have had enough of a payload to affect his body that much. Someone prescribed him the wrong medicine, which he proved in the end.

The hospital needs to know what the patient has taken, but then takes over and whatever the patient was prescribed by their GP is discarded.

Yup. I accidentally took my own antidepressant when last I was at the hospital and I immediately realised my mistake. Wanted to throw up or pump my stomach or something lmao. Luckily my parents gave the nurses my meds and they squared everything that they needed to away so it was fine.

Exactly. The doctors need to know anything and everything about the patient

​@@sleepynoodles6425 Hence the saying "tell the cops nothing, but tell the paramedics everything."

Never try to play doctor when you're not one and above 8.

Well his family couldn't tell difference between goat and cough medicine Although why you need prescription drug for cough seems absurd like the guy may have lung cancer or whatever Anyways, the pharmacist had to fake confidence since he would get sued to oblivion

The look almost identical, unlikely the family would know the pharmacist should have tho. But there are probably 500 formulations of most medications on the market its a hard job to memorize them all.

I can't even remember the names of all my medication I've ever taken, let alone the ones my family take. And I don't know anything about what these pills look like before I'm given them, so if a similar looking pill is given instead how am I to tell them apart.

​@@shanecoyle3676they don't memorize them all. They look it up

@RepentandbelieveinJesusChristodd reaction but I don’t judge

​@RepentandbelieveinJesusChristWhat makes your God real when there are older ones with more followers? If God is all knowing then why does he need to test us if he already knows the answer? If God is all forgiving why did he not forgive Adam and eve? If lucifer was gods favorite and he knows everything then why did he continue to be gods favorite? If he was an angel and perfect and god make him then why did he turn so evil? If God made us perfect then why are we so driven and guided by emotion? Why do we tend to lean to hate certain groups of people or feel superior to them? Why are we so vain and arrogant? Who made the devil If he is like he is? Most Every culture has a religion because they believed they needed an all power figure to create then and the earth but if you need that to create then who created God? The Bible believed the earth is flat but the scientific method proved it wrong. People believe in religion because they need to know what happens when we die.they need to know they can go there. They need to know that there loved ones can go somewhere amazing and they can meet them again. That they can be forgived and loved no matter what. They need to know that the good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished. If you listen during a sermon you will realize God is not good. He is toxic. He tests our love and belief in him because he loves us. There will be people that will push him away or think of you as ridiculous but don't listen to him because what you believe is right and he loves you. He created you. He helps you. He gave you the strength to get through life. It wasn't you who accomplished on your own who fought and was smart.

Because House rejected Cameron's proposal, she was trying to torture him with this stupid way.

Yes I never liked Chase, I felt he wasn't thorough a lot of the time.

Probably what Cameron was thinking in the end, he was sent there to confirm if the medication given was wrong but all he did was basically "Small and yellow? Close enough for me!"

❤I want a rude brilliant Dr who forgets my name. I know a guy who is dying because of a lazy nice guy doctor. Did I mention how nice he is?

Who?

​@@jadedbradBlud what 💀

Dys. Certain dys makes it difficult to remember names.

Forget? Did he know it in the first place?

The refill was to get some to show the parents on the assumption they would look different from the ones he took, but the twist at the end is they looked very similar anyway.

@thepope98 It's true, but still, it won't prove the pharmacist is wrong unless you have some pills left from the previous bottle. 🥴

Sometimes the source will be wrong. So you can reach for X and it's been filled with Y instead, so you are dispensing Y.

@@PhrontDoor That's experience talking 👌

Let’s get house on the phone alone with the pharmacist, that’ll work.

It was him at his most professional. He was cold but not over top

Yeah, that's one reason I preferred the early-era House episodes. They had him as cold and sarcastic, but not an outright misanthrope who crapped over everybody for little to no good reason. The later seasons made him unbearably antagonistic and hostile, and it killed a lot of the enjoyment factor.

@@libRteedudeyeah. It started getting uncomfortable when he would act exceptionally hostile to everyone when he was in a bad mood in the later seasons. Yeah he was self-destructive in the early seasons, but they had him loudly proclaiming to staff members that he’s sleeping with Cuddy.

@@libRteedudefist seasons were more like everyday sitcom-like-comedy (but smartly written), and later seasons were full drama genre Netflix series. Nothing wrong with both, just different taste things.

Very true. The makers of the show seemed determined to keep topping themselves in how outrageous they made him, and it was counterproductive because the audience just wanted snarky genius House. We didn't need or want whackjob edgelord House.

House is a fictional character. Every doctor you'll ever meet is perfectly fine. As a matter of fact, many of them could even be just as arrogant as House.

Doctors like House would never exist cause no one in their right mind would hire a doctor like him, because a lot of people would sue him and the hospital in the blink of an eye.

They would sabotage his career! Because shitty doctors power this crappy American medical machine!!

we might but they would be fired instantly so who knows

@@undercoverg.o.d. Well I have no doubt people LIKE House exist they would HAVE to restrain themselves unless the Clients signed specific Wavers to his "Unique" ways of doing medicine ig lol

A lot of people think that House is arrogant about his intelligence. (Is it arrogance when it's true?) I think there's something else going on here: it's about his instincts and intuition (for lack of better terms). It's common to geniuses. Einstein, for example, said he "knew" something unequivocally, then had to do the tedious work of proving it. Most of us methodically work out way toward finding the solution; geniuses get the solution first, then have to prove it to the rest of us.

He's always right. The second time. If he always held on to his first theory all his patients would be dead.

@@FutureDeep Ah, but he DOESN'T hold onto the first theory (hence, the space for a second, third, or fourth). So he's right to trust that he will eventually get it right.

The best one… “STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNEW ABOUT RACCOON POOP!” 😂

Comerade cora commenter

Almost the opposite thing happened to my mother. My mother had Hashimoto's and needed her thyroid medication. Every time she picked it up she opened the bottle right there at the counter and checked the pills. One day she pours some of the pills out and they're large, blue ovals. They are typically very small, round, white pills (she couldn't swallow large pills at all). She tells the pharmacist "this isn't my medication" the pharmacist says "yes it is". My mother, who has been taking this medication for decades, explains the difference in the pills and how this clearly isn't her medication. Pharmacist says "the pill you're describing is the on-brand. This is the off-brand version. It's the same drug. It's also cheaper". My mother tells the pharmacist how it's covered by insurance anyway and so she doesn't have to pay for it regardless. She asks the pharmacist to go double check for her actual medication. The pharmacist refuses to double check and just says that they were out which is why he filled it with the off-brand. My mother goes on to tell him about her VERY serious sulfa allergy (which was in the pharmacy system) and how she has cancer and it was imperative that she have her actual medication. They went back and forth for about 10 minutes before a pharmacist that my mother had spoken with many times with comes out. He asks what's wrong and she explains it. Good pharmacist tells the other dude to go check the off-brand medication's ingredients and then goes to double check for my mother's actual medication. Turns out that they DID have her medication but it would take about 10min to fill. The pharmacist who tried to give my mother the off-brand pills was just too lazy to go back and mix the stuff together so he just filled her prescription with the off brand without even checking her records. Also turns out that the blue, oval pills DID have sulfa in it and would have killed my mother. Like within minutes kind of killed. Moral of the story check your pills at the counter. My mom did it religiously the entire time she was alive and I never truly understood why until that happened. It's very important to know what your medication looks like.

You should made a formal complaint. There is absolutely no excuse for an error of that sort. Their procedures should have been audited and someone disciplined.

One of my husband's friends was given the wrong medication as well. He needed blood pressure medication, he was given Shcitzophrania medication instead. The prescription still said his medication so he took them and ended up having major issues. Police and ambulence had to be called as he was found in boxers face first in a pile of snow in January. It's believed that the schizophrenia medication had an adverse reaction to the beer he had. No one knows exactly how long he was in the snow for either.

You can look up your pills online by their description and the letters on it. I always do if my pills look different.

@mikelheron20 I should have. You're correct. Looking back, I was too accommodating. I could tell when I went back that the people working there were nervous about the whole thing.

Some pharmacies here in the US dispense them that way, and because I take so many medications, I am grateful.

you also just proved another house axiom , everybody lies . you were lying to yourself that your nitrous addiction wasn't hurting you .

@@oldfart5063 You’re 100% correct. I haven’t done it in a long time but still have lingering issues that I’m now used to but remember they’re there when I stop and think about it. If anyone is reading this and using nitrous regularly I’d recommend you stop before you cause permanent nerve damage to your extremities or other issues. I have tingling numbness sensation in my toes sometimes and pretty sure it’s a result of my nitrous addiction. It’s never got better but luckily it hasn’t got any worse since I quit.

Kudos for getting off of it.

I remember that scene really vividly

Do you know what a psychotic break is? And what rants lol

@@ravenID429 so youre telling me there arent like 5 episodes across the late seasons were House straight up loses his grasp of reality? And yes he does go on angry rants extremely frequently. Thats like his whole thing.

House: "Wilson, *urp* I turned myself into a diagnostician, Wilson! I'm Dr. HOOOOOOOUSE!"

​@@ravenID429he literally had Vicodin induced hallucinations and couldn't tell them apart from reality in like season 5 or 6, as for the rants I'm sure you'll find countless examples in these clips

It's almost shocking how relatively kind he is to the family when he asks them about the medication.

Yeap, and he's calming down the patient's parents too to house's antics

I don't watch many shows but I can still safely that this show is amazing and still very watchable even all these years later (keep from your eyes the old cellphones tho xD)

Being obsessive doesnt equate to being compassionate

I think it’s been said a few times in the series that he cares about the puzzles, not the patients. It just so happens that solving the puzzles usually helps the patients.

@@MikeBrin96 I don't consider House obsessive in regards to finding diagnoses for people. Addicted to various pain meds? Sure. Obsessed with his job? No.

@@alex84632 That's not really what I was referring to. However, yes, solving the medical puzzles helps the patients.

He’s obsessed with solving puzzles. Both are a relief from his pain, when he doesn’t have puzzles, he abuses the meds even harder.

I got in it my right foot during my early thirties. It was the worst pain I've ever felt (and I had my appendix explode inside me). I literally begged the doctor to cut my foot off to stop the agony. Gaut is absolutely MISERABLE!

I had a friend who had given birth and had gout, she said the gout was 10 times worse.

@@ForsythJC I can't speak for you, but almost of my issues appear in my wrists and my knees. It can make life difficult.

My husband's first gout attack was at least partially due to a blood pressure medication, which made the gout much more painful than regular gout.

I feel like we don't teach guys how to take care of their health, or maybe teach them the importance of it? Idk, just, you know the stereotype, the old dude who's definitely having a heart attack yet refuses to go to the hospital. And how married men are more likely to live longer because their wives are basically their live in nurses and personal chefs. My best friend is a very liberal dude, and I legit have to drag him to the doctor when he's actually sick. I don't get it. I have a condition that will most likely reduce my lifespan, and it seems like he's wanting to join me shortly after. 😔

I do the same thing, especially now that I’m trying to find a balance to my psyche meds. Even between different levels of dosage they change in color and sometimes shape so I look them up to make sure they are correct. Probably not the most well adjusted reaction but I have a long history of negative reactions to psyche meds that are supposed to help me and been misdiagnosed and even tricked into taking a higher dosage of pills than I was comfortable with so yeah, I check descriptions now. It’s a nightmare how many different shapes and sizes and designs they come in though. Hard to track even when technically the only thing different is the amount sometimes.

My relative was given the wrong psyche meds twice purely because she had the same first name as another patient on the ward & the Nurse was too lazy to look at last names. Luckily they looked v different & she refused to take them. 🙄

It's a big mistake to take your medical advice from a television show.

​@@commodoor6549 A fact-checked medical show? When you can research medicine after watching?

@@Greg_Rock I think I misunderstood your comment... sorry.

@@commodoor6549 What? Recognition of a mistake and then an apology? On the internet?! POLICE!

There's a surprising amount of accurate medical info mixed in with the nonsensical jargon.

until the season he started hitting the Dean for me

​@@rawikirranWhat about when he hit the Dean's house?

The mother had already given all the pills by the time House asked her, so he had no frame of reference. Also, a lot of people don’t pay attention to what is on their pills, they just take what’s in the bottle (I have been around a lot of old people that can’t even name their meds and some had no idea they were being double dosed by different doctors)

@@BlackSeranna He did have a frame of reference, though. He knew what the pills he was looking for looked like. The reason for physically searching through pill bottles was it makes for good television.

there goes the script!

Well done

All nurses are sociopaths.

what line of work. and you can always go for it still

Nope. The pharmacist were all grandfathered in and you do not have to have a pharm D on duty at all times.

What about Aluminum foil ?

There's an excellent video on KZfaq like that right now, titled "Chase Becoming House Over The Years."

Hugh Laurie

​@@pjteves1is a great actor.

That detail might be small and insignificant to normal people, but the pharmacist/supplier is supposed to pay attention to that. Having or not having a big L on each pill is a big deal.

If you get admitted to the hospital, they go thru your belongings. The nurse or aide lists the things they are taking away. You sign the sealed envelope or bag and it's returned to you upon discharge. Cash, credit cards, checkbook goes to the safe at the Cashier Medications and any oral product, including tic tacks, Tums, and lactase pills are held in Pharmacy and returned upon discharge. Your socks, underwear, pjs, robe are fine to keep in your room. The hospital must track and control all of the medications you take when under their care. They will provide your usual daily medications..

@@joansamuels3241 where is that? I've never done that.

@@joansamuels3241I’ve never had a hospital take away or secure valuables, or anything else. They might go to that extreme if they suspect that’s where the problem is, in terms of the patient self-medicating inappropriately, but that is not the default.

Pretty sure he knew the kid’s description of “round, yellow, and with a letter” and was looking at all the pills that contained the chemical he was looking for until he found it.

@@nicholaslewis8594 I don't think he ever got that info cause he wasn't in the room when the kid said that. And I don't think Cameron/Chase would have said anything especially with how the scenes are spliced simultaneously. Plus I think it's more in line with House to obsessively look through every pill

At that point they knew that the pills he took did indeed match the cough medicine he was supposed to be taking in appearance. The time spent opening bottles was to see if there was a brand of the wrong medication that matched. (Of course, he would have actually been looking through a pill reference. There are ones even designed for a reverse lookup so that you can try and identify unknown pills.)

Wouldn't be much of a show then...

@@andyaskew1543 yea I like the scene and show. It's just a funny thing to see between House's beliefs and his actions.
