One aspect of being married to an intensive care RN (the good looking one in the picture, there)is expert evaluations of medical programs in progress. ER, for example, is good medicine -- except long shots that should never pay off often do. Gray's was good but has gone down hill, medically speaking. House makes her furious. In much the same way CSI makes real forensics specialists furious. It does not work that way. He does things wrong, takes risks that would get him fired --if not jailed -- and either finds impossible solutions or finds the glaringly obvious solutions that anyone following protocols would have discovered. She yelled at the TV a few seasons ago during the confrontation in which House performs an "unorthodox" examination of a young girl in the elevator and finds a tick responsible for her condition. Once a tick was suspected -- as it was for much of the episode -- such an exam would have been routine. I think it was that same season she diagnosed the do-gooder medical missionary before House did. (One bit she did like was when one of his team of super-doctors hooked a heart monitor up backwards and the others all watched him do it without noticing. She says doctors do stuff like that all the time.) So while I like House, I can only watch it when my wife is not around. Then never admit I did so.
