Does House M.D. encourage inappropriate dismissal of over-anxious patients?
As a user of GP medical practices, I often wonder why doctors are such douchebags when faced with people who have perfectly fine concerns over what seems to them like trivial symptoms that self-resorbs.
In the show House M.D., Dr. House is a very prominent medical doctor who specializes in very rare diseases and is often dismissive about patient's problems. On 78 occasions during the show, Dr. House talks about the patient as "a lier who's perfectly fine", and refuses to take their case.
Conclusion: Although the show demonstrate accurate and interesting cures to very rare diseases, the way it talks about the average patient is pretty bad, and may help explain why doctors behave like jerks on a variety of occasions
