More on Dr. Gregory House
Description from Wikipedia:
Gregory House, M.D., is a fictional character and protagonist of the American medical drama House. Portrayed by Hugh Laurie, the character is a maverick medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. House's character has been described as a "misanthrope", a "cynic" and a "curmudgeon."
On the series, the character's unorthodox diagnostic approaches, radical therapeutic motives, and stalwart rationality has resulted in much conflict between him and his colleagues. House is also often portrayed as lacking sympathy for his patients, a practice that allots him the time to solve pathological enigmas. The character is partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes.
A large portion of the show's plot centers on House's use of Vicodin to manage pain stemming from an infarction in his quadriceps muscle some years earlier, an injury that forces him to walk with a cane. Although his colleagues, doctors James Wilson and Lisa Cuddy, have encouraged him to go to drug rehabilitation several times, so far, no attempts have successfully gotten House off the drug. This addiction is one of the many parallels to Sherlock Holmes, who is addicted to cocaine.
