You know I'm not trying to convince you one way or another, and you know I'm totally on board with "The fact that I don't like it doesn't mean I think people who like it are dumb". But here are just a few notes:

1) In the pilot, he says that his infarction was misdiagnosed by doctors until it was far too late to save the muscle.

2) I personally never get the sense that we're supposed to cut him any slack, for genius reasons or otherwise; Foreman certainly doesn't and neither does Cuddy.

3) He is rude to *everyone*, including patients, which makes him a complete asshole, not a partial one. ;)

4) In last night's episode, Wilson and House argue rather vehemently about the fact that since his injury, House's personality has changed radically.

but finally -

5) In several sound bites and articles, both Hugh Laurie and the creator say that they do not believe that House *could be* for real -- that what many people enjoy in the character is the vicarious fantasy of telling off of the public/client/customer which 99.99% of the service industry fantasizes about daily. The wish-fulfillment of telling someone who is making your job hell "Wow, are *you* stupid." The fact that this particular revenge fantasy takes place in a situation where you, Kat, cannot bear it, may simply make you and the show incompatable.
