Those guys have way too much faith in humanity. Like it’s frighteningly common how often people try to sue for broken ribs after someone performs CPR on them.
Like you think the average Karen is going to pass up any opportunity to sue someone? Especially if House was midly sassy towards them?
Oh a running theme in the show is just how much House costs the hospital. They just keep him on because of donations that come in from people who he’s helped as well as the fact that he is able to help people no one else can.
In reality… no hospital will be that altruistic.
It wouldn’t be patients lawsuits. In reality the hospital would’ve sacked House out of pressure from insurers. Why is it this one hospital has such high per patient cost? And they would figure it’s just House skewing the costs everywhere because of his tendency to order every single test in the lab’s catalog and MRIs to all his patients. At least it makes sense when his patients are celebrities and billionaires. But otherwise every patient treated by him not on the outpatient clinic, probably left that hospital bankrupt.

It’s been years but I’m pretty sure for one season the main antagonist is the board has a new lead and he’s not fucking around with the money the hospital seems to be burning for House and his trying to whip House into shape for fire him. Can’t remember how it resolved though…
House pissed the guy off so much he withdrew his investment into the hospital
Not so much donations as Cuddy considers him a “necessary evil” for the greater good - he’s expensive, irresponsible and kind of an asshole, but genius enough to get away with it because otherwise People Would Die. Even in season 1 (I think), Business Guy Chi McBride takes over as chairman and wants to axe the whole department because it’s that much of a money sink.
Wait, hold on, please return to the
frighteningly common hoe
I am very interested in that part.

Says more about the state of our Healthcare/insurance system than it does about people in general.
I don’t think they would even need to be a Karen, just someone already in a horrific amount of medical debt facing a lifetime of additional costs and problems and not many good options for dealing with it.
Rouge… the… bat?
With tits to match!

Looks like somebody wasn’t raised on SEGA.
People forget that House got shot
Season 2 finale baby! Great episode.
I can’t quite remember, but wasn’t it ultimately his (House’s) own fault? Like he handed the guy the gun back, or deliberately antagonized him after being warned he was about to get shot?
Dang it, now I’m about to rewatch the entire show.
IIRC in an episode someone mentioned they reserve a large portion of their legal budget for House’s antics.
Man could break my leg if he needed to if it let him figure out why whenever I eat I’m in pain and I sometimes just vomit.
