Anyone watch the most recent episode of House? His brilliant differential for a patient with multiple symptoms of IBD, heart and kidney problems was Ankylosing Spondylitis. Brilliant you say… then he says :”Start her on sulfasalazine and tnf inhibitors” ! Later his comments indicate he has her stuffed full of prednisone too.
No way! I thought he was a medical genius? I've lost all faith in his abilities now…..:headbang:
Aaaack, I've noticed the same thing on the show. There were a couple of episodes with Lyme and Scleroderma and he immediately ordered immuno-suppressing drugs. I ran from any doctor trying to give them to me. 😯
Take care…..kim
But then the immmune-suppression never works, haven't you noticed? And the line, “It's never lupus” has become a catch phrase, too.
Mom of teen daughter with Poly JIA since age 2. Current med: azithromycin 250 mg MWF.
I had a first meeting with a rheumy who was trying to get me onto immuno-suppressants. When I refused he said why?
I told him that I had not seen many people get to remission or cured on immuno-suppressants.
He said in his best Irish accent, ” That?s not so, theirs a waiting room full of them out there.

Noel, that is sadly hilarious, absolutely hilarious.

Hey, Rajah99:

He's just making work for more doctors. I see a surgeon, a rheumatologist, an allergist, and maybe a psychiatrist in her future!
I can't watch House, since Hugh Laurie played Wooster in that Jeeves series on BBC and no amount of acting would convince me he could ever be a doctor after that!
I'll take my chances with Theodoric of York,

I didn't watch the episode, I'm kind of over the whole House fad, but was the patient critical? I too was disheartened when they had a patient with a suspected AI disease, seems like every other episode at about the 30 min mark they think that is the diagnosis, and the treatment is always prednisone. It's understandable if the patient is dying, and they usually are, but I've never even heard them mention abx as a treatment.

Send an email to the writers 🙂
House is always a bit left-field in his diagnosis and treatments. maybe if the writers found out about the abx treatment, it might make for a good story line. Although a 3 year treatment might be difficult to fit in around an episode that usually spans a few days.
