Corrected entry: In House M.D. season 7 titled "Now What?" They are looking for a neurosurgeon to replace the one that is sick. Foreman is a neurologist who would have studied neurosurgery, but they took the whole episode looking for a neurosurgeon.
Corrected entry: Several times throughout the show, notably in episode 12 of season 4, there is a wheelchair in the room with the MRI machine. MRI machines use very powerful magnets with strong magnetic fields: a chair with that much metal would almost certainly get sucked into the machine or at the very least pose a danger of getting sucked in and harming the patient. MRI machines are always kept on (it can costs thousands to turn them off and on), so it's not like they wheeled her in and then moved the chair before turning it on. You can watch a video of what happens when chairs get too close and how strong the magnets in these machines really are here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4uzJPpC4Wuk.
Correction: Non-ferrous metals are not attracted by magnets. The wheelchair could be made out of any non-ferrous metal.
Corrected entry: Season 2 - Episode 15 Timestamp: 41:24 Dr. Cameron hands money to Dr. House, but a Canadian $20 bill is amongst the bills. (00:41:20)
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.)
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.
Correction: Studying neurosurgery as part of neurology does not make one a qualified neurosurgeon. Foreman would undoubtedly be familiar with the basic practices involved, but he would by no means be qualified to take on that role.
