The doctor's in the house

Have you ever watched House, this medical drama about a tsundere(?) doctor who has this "everyonethinksit'scool" character of grumpy not-giving-a-damn attitude with a sharp mouth? It was on AXN I think.

House's episodes aren't like usual hospital drama like E.R. or Gray's Anatomy or even slapstick comedy like Scrubs. It has a lot of medical terms and deals with very serious illnesses such as cancer and rare viruses.

But what it tries to point out is the problem of the wrong diagnosis. Dr. House himself was the subject of a wrong one and that's why he's grumpy and uses a walking stick. He stresses the danger when doctors get it wrong and it often involves the patient's life. In every episode there are often initial diagnoses from tests which are carefully eliminated, some may be common mistakes by real doctors.

Interestingly House reminds me of the recent hospitalisation of Eunice, in which an initial diagnosis was termed a kidney problem and a mild medication and a sending off, but was later discovered by a private clinic as an ovarian cest which would've endangered her life if it wasn't detected earlier. That was what I was led to believe, the wrong diagnosis by professionals may have resulted in tragedy. I began to be a lot more skeptical with doctors and the House series just proves me that.
