This episode of House tells us that if you’re good at what you do, it doesn’t matter how you deal with people along the way. House doesn’t care about his patients emotions. He said, “Humanity is overrated”. However, he is the best doctor at the hospital and saves people’s lives.

I believe it is important for patients and families to be well informed and treated well throughout the treatment process. House doesn’t want to talk to his patients to hear what they have experienced. He thinks information coming from a patient is unreliable.  

There are many doctors who are good at their jobs but don’t take the time to read patients charts and pretend to treat them like an individual. I disagree with what House is portraying. I think doctors should show compassion towards their patients throughout their treatment process but I also am thankful for them saving people’s lives.
