House, M.D. (2004)

Correction: His name is Dr Robert Chase. So calling him Robert is simply using his first name. The actor's name in real life is Jesse Spencer.

House, M.D. (2004)

DNR - S1-E9

Corrected entry: At the end when the jazz player comes off the elevator says that he has been discharged. Hospitals require that a patient be wheel chaired out.

Correction: I work in a hospital and have had plenty of my patients not wheeled out. If someone says no, you can't FORCE them to.

House, M.D. (2004)

Living the Dream - S4-E14

Corrected entry: During the scene where House opens the door of the limo to escort Brock into the hospital, he explains that his reading speed has slowed from 2.1 to 2.9, which is an increase not a decrease.

Correction: He means the time taken to read a line - he's taking 2.9 seconds rather than 2.1 seconds.

House, M.D. (2004)

Cursed - S1-E13

Corrected entry: In this episode we learn that Chase is 26 years old. Considering that he's studied to become a priest, gone through four years of college, four years of med school, two years as an intern, four years as a resident and that he's worked for House for at least a year, that means he graduated high school at the age of 10 (if not earlier).

Correction: Chase could have graduated high school at 17. Then graduated undergraduate in 3 years. 4 years of medical school and 2 as a resident. (You do your internship while in medical school). Plus there are some colleges that do a combined undergraduate/graduate program that lasts 6 years. He could have studied as a priest as an undergrad.

House, M.D. (2004)

Show generally

Corrected entry: Cameron, Chase and Foreman frequently perform MRIs, CAT scans and regular X-rays. In order to do that you need to be a radiologist, which none of them is.

Correction: When you go to med school, most of the time you are taught HOW to do these procedures, you just don't do them usually. Doesn't mean they don't know how not to. Besides most of these test are done by radiology TECHNICIANS nowadays (with only a few months of schooling sometimes.)

House, M.D. (2004)

Show generally

Corrected entry: Chase, Foreman and Wilson wear ties almost all the time. Any doctor working with infecteous diseases knows that ties are huge bacteria herds and that doctors should absolutely not wear them. In fact, most hospitals forbid their doctors to wear ties. While some doctors may not know this, Chase, Foreman and Wilson work closely with House, who is an expert on the subject and would most definitely know about it.

Correction: Just because they know it shouldn't be there does not make it a mistake. I am a paramedic and I can tell you a LOT of things occur that we know SHOULDN'T happen. And I know MD's and RN's with ties, and long finger nails and long hair (unbound) all the time.

House, M.D. (2004)

Meaning - S3-E1

Corrected entry: House breaks into Wilson's office and writes himself a prescription for Vicodin with Wilson's prescription pad. Vicodin is a Schedule III controlled substance, which means that a pharmacist requires verbal authorization from the prescribing doctor or his staff to dispense it to a patient, even another doctor, making the prescription useless to House, which he should know.

Correction: Actually, it isn't often verified (scary, I know). I am a paramedic and work at a hospital and no one ever questions the ER docs who write narcotic prescriptions. They simply verify that it is an actual doctor.
