Believe It Or Not

 I was shocked beyond shocked about the episode "Distractions" of HOUSE tv series. The story was about a father and son went ATV driving on a rugged path on the hill and they had so much fun until when the son asked his father that he can drive the ATV. At first the father was reluctant because his son was still not at the right age driving such sporty vehicle, however he get along with it and let his son drove it but something strange happened and the son got no control of the vehicle as he drove faster and faster and the fatal accident happened. They end up at the hospital. Dr. House was busy reading a Hindi magazine when called to do the diagnostic test by Dr. Foreman. The boy had severe body burns, alive but unconscious. Here's the unbelievable story of having the burn victim's hands and legs in buckets of water and about to be electrocuted!? What? Why? FGS!! Is that how doctor's treat burn victims? The patient looks like crab or do they think of that boy as a crab? Maybe lobster?

Dr. House was heavily medicated for his ailment that never go away. Part of it was, he was taking pain medication and the side effects are such a burden to his job as medical officer. Although he is a brilliant doctor his ailment is causing an uproar to what is the norm of conducting moral and ethical boundary in medicine, however the rest of the resident doctors still followed his medical advice and if not Dr. House will take matters in to his hands. Just like when he wants to talk to the burn victim patient (almost in a coma) wanting him to answer to his inquiry if it need be by injecting a serum. What's that? Is that for real or just fiction? 

I don't know if the television series is based on true story or fiction but the unconventional treatment of their patients are unheard of and it becomes "believe it or not." And one false move sa bilibid ang punta ni Dr. House. However, can you sue a doctor who is mentally deranged or having mental disorder? He wont go to jail for malpractice, he'll be sent to mental hospital. 

Note: However, sometimes...Dr. House's unconventional (not traditional) medical practice may seemed absurd and ridiculous,  his hypotheses are somewhat true and that helped the team of doctors to find out what to cure and how to cure their patients.
