House and Ethics, a mini review

Interesting and crazy episode of House last night. I think a little, way, way, over the top. But one ethical question came up, almost asked directly in the show. "Is it ethical for doctors in clinical trial to know the patients personally?" The answer nearly quoted out of the show, "It slants the numbers." I have to say I agree. It seems strange for a show that is in the business of portraying doctors to so blatantly say that the way they portray doctors is unethical. It's almost like a "don't do this at home, these are paid professionals" tag line. Watching, I was struck. And then, ... well the soap opera of the show resumed and I was again happy. In total, crazy f*ing episode and wierd ethics. Overall, 2 thumbs up for House and 1 thumb for last nights episode.
