I agree with House. What is the message from this doctor? Don't treat people from the new world because people in the old world are dying? Well, let's all die. And he put himself in danger, no one needs unnecessary self-sacrifice, if he dies, who will treat people? The doctor should first of all monitor his health. A sick doctor will not cure anyone.
@id22224139: well, he didn't just want to die, he wanted to draw attention to his problem. It could have worked (and it worked in the end)! And this is also to save people. I agree that he is still more useful alive than dead, but still he did not just do it out of contradiction.
And really, this dude was throwing up. If anything, you have to let YOURSELF be cured precisely because THEN you can cure others who can't do it themselves, you certainly can't help all the dying in third world countries, and it won't be better for them that you wanted to be in the same conditions as them, yeah
Chase looked at Cameron like that when she said that this man had asked her out on a date and to Africa. The second season is going very well so far: interesting stories, no one is setting anyone up
The whole series was irritated by House, who could not stand altruism in others. He has such a somewhat childish position on this issue, of course: everyone does things only for themselves, and if a person enjoys the attention of the media, then that's it, he's an egoist, and all his good deeds don't count, you can't have it both ways. But you literally can??
Plus, it is quite obvious that a person is really in his place, seizing any opportunity to attract more help. What's strange about the fact that he doesn't root so much for people who are sick with something else? You can't help everyone, he does what he can help. And he is even ready to sacrifice himself to draw attention to the disease, to create a media hype.
It's interesting, in general, to observe his attitude to this.
@QueenOfGems: House is a cynic, but what he says and what he thinks are different things. He's like Turgenev's Bazarov, he approaches everything from a critical point of view, and the main argument for him is science, whether it's medicine or psychology.
@QueenOfGems: and yes and no, I mean, House is also wrong in his judgments about people, he just doesn't admit it. Therefore, he does not annoy me, because I know that from every story he learns a lesson for himself.
@Demausol: I would even say that he is very powerfully mistaken in his judgments about people, considering everything through his own prism of a crippled person. He cannot tolerate any altruistic motives until he finds a suitable explanation for them.
In fact, I'm already used to the fifth season, where I'm watching now, and he's really changing, but it's still annoying how he throws himself at all those who don't fit into his worldview.
@QueenOfGems: the position is not childish, but honest. Absolutely all people do only for themselves, even good deeds, even give everything - for themselves. Quite a psychological truth. House is just in the subject and does not tolerate idealization and self-deception.
I agree that he is still more useful alive than dead, but still he did not just do it out of contradiction.
