And I can tell you if there's one thing that truly and royally *pisses me off*, it's a doctor who pulls attitude on me--overrides me, dismisses me, implies that I'm stupid or hypochondriacal, plays the "I know better than you do" card. As House does, all the time, with his clinic patients.
Honestly, when I saw the promo campaign, I rolled my eyes and said, "Do we really need *more* arrogant, condescending doctors on TV? 'Cause I get enough of that in real life."
I know that some of my friends who like the show have had similar frustrations with the world of medicine, so I'm not sure why they don't have the same response. I haven't raised the issue, because I haven't watched, so I wouldn't be able to discuss the nuances.
