    I want a rundown of all the crimes House commits and what % of episodes contain felonies.

    Cause they’re certainly missing the “Foreman, break into the dudes house and tell me everything in his crawlspace” scene, and the “Cameron, lie to him and drug him with this non-approved treatment and let’s see if he starts dying quicker or slower.”

      Nearly every episode contains a felony since he’s constantly taking medication obtained via prescription fraud.

        That came later, I think at least to begin with he was just prescribing to himself, then lost privileges.

        I don’t think it is outright illegal to prescribe yourself drugs. Judy discouraged.

          Nah, it’s super illegal. At least in the version of New Jersey the show takes place in.

          They point that out a couple of times during the run of the series and if memory serves, that’s actually one of the few crimes of his that he ALMOST gets in real trouble for.

          That and stealing Wilson’s prescription pad to make it seem like he’s the one prescribing them. Which is of course a couple seperate crimes 😄

      Literally the best part of every episode is when the hospital doctors break into the patients home and start ransacking it looking for clues as to their illness, which as we all know, is taught semester 1 in medical school. Semester 2 is when you learn how to do actual medical tests.

        The disconnect from reality is so ridiculous. IRL you can be bleeding from your forehead with a giant gash in your skin, and they’ll be like “we’re not really sure what the problem is, and we don’t care. Let’s run blood work. We’ll get back to you in 5 days, but only if anything from the tests comes back positive. Other than that, pay your $785 before you leave, and then get the fuck out”.
