House M.D(Medical Division)

This is the one tv series that has capativated my heart.. it's such a good series i downloaded the whole two seasons into my computer.. just finished downloading the second season and i finished watching it in only a matter of days.. nothing like a cup of coffee and a whole day watching 'House'.. nice..

Here's a quick preview of this superb series:
Title:House M.D.
Setting: Mostly in Princeston-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
Characters:
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) - The show's protagonist, he is the head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, an infectious disease specialist, and nephrologist.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) - Administration: Dean of Medicine.
Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) - Department Head: Oncology.
Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) - Department: Diagnostic Medicine, neurologist.
Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) - Department: Diagnostic Medicine, immunologist.
Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) - Department: Diagnostic Medicine, intensivist.

As you might have guessed, the protagonist of this show is Dr. Gregory House. A legend already in his school days for his accurate yet quirky deduction of the patient's situation, he gained fame. Although so due to his quirky sense of humour, he was sacked from four different hospitals, at last coming to PPTH.

He specialises in the diagnostics medicine, i.e. cases in which baffles other doctors. When a patient's condition is unable to explain, it comes to his hand. Normally he is in denial of accepting the cases, but some rare conditions in a patient's case will attract his attention. When he turns his attention gauge into full, he is a genious.

He has a bad leg due to an infarction,i.e dead muscles, and causes him to be in cronic pain all day long.. This cause hin to be on vicodin every single day in order to suppress the pain. He also relies on his cane to walk, as this will lighten his burden.

His team of experts consists of himself, Cameron, Chase and Foreman. These four have different ideas at times, and this is the main key to finding a cure for the patients, although none of them ever admits it.

House has only one real friend, Wilson. Often poking each other's nose, the both of them developed a deep friendship and often makes each other laughs.

House has totally no restrain on rules and regulations. He just walks over them. Cuddy, the Dean of Medicine, on the other hand, always make sure he does his job according to the rules, much to his dislike.

This series still has a lot to find out. The medical terms inside are so deep, i need to go online to see the meanings of it. Some suggests that some of the medical treatments are unaccurate or too risky. Personally, i just take this series as a comedy, as the comedy ingredients inside are so abundant.

I hope others will find this series a good one. It has gained so many awards, that proves this baby is one of the best series ever landed on the world.
