Gregory House
Gregory House, M.D., is the creation of television writer David Shore, taking his medical cases in the modern day by solving the enigmas no one else can as an expert diagnostician.
About
A self-professed military brat, House grew up abused by his father, but gained a love of medicine while seeing a buraku doctor save a friend's life. Though caught cheating while studying at Johns Hopkins, house eventually gained his degree, and soon after became a Board certified diagnostician, despite his often hateful, bitter, sarcastic personality.
Though he does all he can to save another life, House is often shown just as concerned solving the puzzles of the difficult cases put before him. His "Watson", Dr. Wilson, says that House has a "Rubik's complex"; a need to solve the puzzles in front of him. In the process, he often proposes risky, even dangerous treatments, in order to cure his patient, all the while picking apart the personal flaws of his patients, staff, and even himself.
