The facts behind the addictive medical drama starring Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie.
Week after week, House, M.D. has held viewers` attention with brilliant cast performances and intriguing diagnostic mysteries often solved with daring treatments. But how much of the medical detail is real and how much is fabricated? In The Medical Science of House, M.D., Andrew Holtz, a well-known medical journalist, reveals how medical detectives work-how they follow symptoms to their source. He examines each case in detail and provides answers to such questions as:
- How can a teenager adopted at birth nearly die because his biological mother didn`t get a vaccine?
- How can a husband`s faith in his wife`s fidelity determine whether radical treatment will cure her or kill her?
- How can a missed eye-doctor appointment reveal a genetic disease?
- How can doctors choose the right course for a pregnant woman when one may kill her and the other would abort her fetus

This is a great book!
I'm a House MD fanatic! I have to say when I saw this book, I got curious about what was it that the author had to say about the show that I didn't know about! To my surprise, this is a very good book describing the hard thinking doctors actually have to do in order to reach a diagnosis based on the symptons the patients provide despite out lack of knowledge on the subject matter. I also liked the fact that it begins to describe the critical role that ER doctors or general practitioners have at the beginning stages of diagnosis and then it moves on to detailed analysis of labwork even teamwork to find a cure. Awesome book, Awesome show!!

I wish I had read this book my first year of medical school rather than my last.. Lots of good tidbits for a beginner. A good read too.

I love House
Great writing, acting, plotting. It is fun to watch and fun to figure out. Hugh Laurie and his team are talented in character and out of character. You won't be disappointed
