“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” If Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is your doctor, then you will never forget your daily apple.

“House M.D.,” is a television series that aired from November 2004 to May 2012 with the protagonist, House.

House is a brilliant doctor and all of his patients are people who have unusual symptoms or have different circumstances that prevent other doctors from being able to get the diagnosis. For example, one House’s jobs was to figure out what was wrong with a donor’s lungs before the surgeons were able to transplant them to another patient, before they were unusable.

This particular case had all of the other doctors baffled and they had to enlist the help of House. Through a nail-biting episode, House was able to solve the case that no other doctor was able to figure out.

House has an amazing mind with a knack for diagnostics. He is claimed to be one of the best diagnosticians in the world, but many people hate him. House is described as a self-centered, egomaniac, drug addict who is willing to do anything to serve his obsession to solve puzzles. In this case, the puzzles are the source of patients’ ailments.

However, if you are one of House’s colleagues, then you would have a much different feeling about House.

House only has one true friend and his name is Dr. James Wilson, who is the head of the department of oncology.

Their relationship is unlike any other. House is a drug-addicted narcissist who only cares for himself and Wilson is the most kind-hearted doctor that you could only hope for if you ever have cancer. During all of the eight seasons of House M.D., you may find yourself wondering why they are even friends.

I rate this television series a 10 out of 10. I do not watch a lot of television, but this series had me hooked after I watched the first few episodes. If you are looking for a good television series to watch, then I highly recommend watching House.
