Gregory House
Fictional character from the television series House
Gregory House, M.D., is a fictional character and the protagonist of the American television series House. Portrayed by actor Hugh Laurie, House is a medical genius, diagnostician, and the head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.
Character Overview
Dr. Gregory House is known for his unconventional thinking, sharp wit, and a deep-seated mistrust of patients. He often clashes with hospital administration and his team due to his unorthodox methods and abrasive personality. Despite his flaws, House is a brilliant diagnostician with a knack for solving complex medical cases that baffle other doctors.
Personality
House is characterized by his cynicism, sarcasm, and a general disdain for social niceties. He is often seen using a cane, a result of an infarction in his right leg that left him with chronic pain. This pain leads to his addiction to Vicodin, which becomes a recurring theme throughout the series.
Relationships
House has a complicated relationship with his colleagues, particularly with his best friend, Dr. James Wilson, and his boss, Lisa Cuddy. His romantic relationship with Cuddy is a significant plotline in the series, adding depth to his otherwise solitary character.
Medical Career
House's medical career is marked by his exceptional diagnostic skills. He leads a team of diagnosticians who assist him in solving medical mysteries. His team includes Eric Foreman, Allison Cameron, Robert Chase, Remy "Thirteen" Hadley, and others over the course of the series.
Cultural Impact
The character of Gregory House has had a significant impact on popular culture. He has been compared to Sherlock Holmes due to his deductive reasoning and complex personality. The show House has received critical acclaim, and Laurie's portrayal of House earned him several awards, including two Golden Globe Awards.
Episodes
House appears in all 177 episodes of the series, which aired from 2004 to 2012. Key episodes that focus on his character development include "Three Stories," "No Reason," "House's Head," and "Everybody Dies."
