House
-After my cards addiction which was followed by Bob Dylan Songs addiction, I'm now an official House M.D junkie. I loved the series when I started watching it last year (MBC4 was showing Season 3 which was quite a nice season, loved the chimerism episode). These days I'm catching up with the new Season 5 which is quite awesome. With the remaining time of my have-no-life life, I dig up medical reviews of the episode which almost-always dwarf my post-watching fascination with medicine and post-watching will to study medicine.
-For those less fortunate of you who have not watched House at all, it's a medical drama based around a self-centered 'egotistical, maniacal bastard' who is also a medical genius; Dr. Gregory House and who runs a team of diagnosticians at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. House has a five-season-plus-spanning friendship with oncologist Dr. James Wilson (and their conversations on the show are usually the best part).
-For the House junkies, here are a few house errors I remember:
1) In the episode Joy of Season Five where Cuddy ALMOST adopts a baby, what is Cameron doing the ultrasound for?
2) In one of the episodes, Foreman does a colonscopy. That's pretty FAR from his speciality! Foreman's a neurlogist!
3) In a Season Two episode called Skin Deep, Wilson finds no cancer on the ovaries but doesn't notice the ABSENCE OF A UTERUS!
It's brilliant stuff, and lots of medicine...You can get this and tons more (medical info that's surprisingly very interesting to undergraduate engineers) by reading Scott's reviews at Polite Dissent. He has awesome reviewing skills and he's the one responsible of my digging up Wikipedia for the most abstract terms (Erdheim-Chester disease, sarchoma, amilydosis, etc.) for the past five weeks.
-This was funny. House on-set during the filming of Season Two and Three. Enjoy:

I love house!! Even though I hardly watch it >.> which is sad I know...cos it's a great show. Bes I never get myself to remember the day and time it's on *stupid excuse I know =P*
Doesn't he have the coolest personality on the show (house)?!! He's such a good actor.
I think I will buy/rent the dvd of all the seasons for house and heroes. I think i'm missing out on some good stuff eh?!
The bloopers video is hilarious!
Enjoy =D
Yeah, he totally owns the show and he's BRITISH!! It's incredible he does the American accent so well and he gets the best lines most of the time.
I'm thinking of checking out Heroes, everybody's been saying it's great. And I think I'll check Numbers too...Yes, I know, loads of free time, fathi XD
Ya ellahy!! Totally forgot about Numbers...oh oh and there's also Bones. Have you heard of it.
>.< So much to watch...so little time...more like no time >.<
ah, poor you =P
Bones is kinda good...They sort of rip off C.S.I sometimes and the Angel dude is kind of annoying but it's a pretty good show...The part where they do the three-dimensional bit always looks kind of Star Trek for some reason though XD
Hey Hey Hey!!!
Angle dude is NOT annoying!!! >.<
He makes the show funny a9lan...don't know what you're talking about. =D
*Why am I defending him when I hardly even watch the show xD*
=P
C.S.I is GOOD...that I can tell you because I did watch this show =D But there are too many of them right now...don't you think. Like with different names N.Y.C.bla bla...or P.D.bla bla. Lol. seriously xD
Yeah they're too many now, the original C.S.I (the one set in Las Vegas) still owns though...It had Grisom who sort of like knew EVERYTHING there was to know in EVERY single science there was to learn lol.
Hehehehe!!
True true *nods*
