House MD

I highly doubt that JHB. I have a long history of working with DMR and also have finished a psych clerkship. Doesnt mean I am an expert, but typically the autism spectrum disorders involve a deficiency in communication. Relationships are built off communication and you very well may know some people with Aspergers, but the way you describe them sounds more personality than actual asperger's. In terms of House, he certainly does not act like someone with Asperger's. He acts anti-social and is actually very effective at communicating.

I'm not sure about that, Jacko.

By the way, you dodged the question regarding which episodes the stuff you allege took place on House M.D. happened. Brain biopsy? Cardiac cath?

Are you just making this stuff up?

No, I watched the episodes, had to be one of the first 2 seasons.

I watched the episodes, I have them on DVD, and I don't recognize what you're talking about.

One of your two citations, I believe, comes from "Euphoria II," but the biopsy doesn't happen. The only cardiac cath I can remember is from "Human Error," Season Three...but you're not referring to that season.

I'm eager to consider your examples of why the show frustrates you, but I cannot find them. Can you?

Barring that...well, I don't doubt that it frustrates you, but when we can't find the examples you've cited, it kinda brings the argument away from "these specific aspects are unrealistic" to "I don't like it."

Which is cool...I like it, though.
