I'm right behind you to see Dr. House. Is his character based on a real doctor somewhere?

Just to correct the web address you gave. It should be www.amyloidosis.org.

Take care

Thanks - I'll fix! (I cant spell neuropathy most of the time either!) I dont think we should have to deal with medical situations we can't spell!!!!!!!

Kmeb - I know what you mean!!

I don't think the character of Greg House is particularly based on anyone but I'll tell you something. I don't care how good a diagnostician he is, if he ever did to me what he did to that cop I would sue his pants off.

He is the most arrogant, know-it-all, disrespectful character on television. And the way he answers people. And the way he walks into the clinic and talks to people (like a king talking down to his subjects).

This guy needs a better bedside manner, that's all I know.

But what really makes me laugh is how he sounds in real life. The guy is from Great Britain and sounds NOTHING LIKE HIS CHARACTER. He has the best american accent on an englishman I have ever heard.

He really is a good actor, isn't he??

i would be so happy to take his arrogance and vicoden use to get correct medical treatments...the cop was no mr nice guy himself...wish he was real..and his character understands pain..
