| MISANTHROPIC BASTARD. |
Fandom: House
House is a maverick medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians
at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. House's
character has been described as a "misanthrope", a "cynic" and a
"curmudgeon"
House's unorthodox diagnostic approaches, radical therapeutic motives,
and stalwart rationality has resulted in much conflict between himself
and his colleagues. House is also often portrayed as lacking empathy
and sympathy for his patients, a practice that allots him the time to
solve pathological enigmas. The character is partly inspired by
Sherlock Holmes.
House's character frequently shows his cunning and biting wit, enjoys
picking people apart, and often mocks their weaknesses. House
accurately deciphers people's motives and histories from aspects of
their personality and appearance.Dr. James Wilson once states that
while "some doctors have the messiah complex — they need to save the
world", House has "a Rubik's complex" — he needs "to solve the puzzle."
House typically waits as long as possible before meeting his patients.
When he encounters his patients, House shows an unorthodox bedside
manner and uses unconventional treatments. However, he impresses them
with rapid and accurate diagnoses after seemingly not paying attention
His crankiness is commonly attributed to the chronic pain in his leg
(as a result of the infarction) for which he requires the aid of a
cane. According to Stacy Warner, his former girlfriend, he was
"pretty much the same" before the infarction, and his boss Lisa Cuddy
claimed that after the surgery he was "an egomaniacal, narcissistic
pain in the ass - same as before." For his chronic leg pain, House
takes Vicodin on a daily basis, and as a result has developed an
addiction to the drug. He concedes that he has an addiction, but
says that the addiction is not a problem because it does not interfere
with his work.
House openly talks about and makes references to pornography. In one
episode, he returns the flirtations of a female under age patient
and is seen on at least two occasions engaging the services of a
prostitute.
House also enjoys childish activities, like playing video games,
watching monster-trucks, reading shallow magazines or comic books,
juggling, playing table-football with Wilson, watching soap operas
such as General Hospital, skate-boarding , doing stunts with his cane.
House has made references to professional wrestling.
He is a staunch atheist and openly mocks colleagues or patients who
express any level of belief in any aspect of religion.
House frequently says "Everybody lies,"
