Gregory House
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Gregory House (born 11 June 1959) was Prince Regent of England in 1939 when World War II broke out. He immediately joined the army where he served as a lieutenant under Captain Blackadder.
In 1999, now living in America, he adopted a talking mouse, which he raised as his son until 2002, when he disappeared.
Prior to this Gregory House and a certain Mr. Arthur Weasley were both arrested for stealing dalmation puppies and illegally selling them to be skinned.
He reappeared in 2004, having somehow earned a medical degree and a new accent, and found a job at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
House frequently shows his cunning and biting wit, enjoys picking people apart - literally. He regularly barges into operating theaters to interfere with whatever surgery is taking place, often pulling "unnecessary" pieces out of patients.
He believes himself capable of accurately deciphering people's motives and histories from aspects of their personality and appearance and refuses to listen when proved wrong. Dr. James Wilson once stated that while "some doctors have the messiah complex — they need to save the world", House has a Rubik's cube, that has often been successfully employed to keep him distracted while the real doctors work.
House typically waits as long as possible before meeting his patients. When he encounters his patients, House shows an unorthodox bedside manner and uses unconventional treatments, such as yelling at them to "stop being sick all the damn time" and demanding that they stop faking and get up. However, he impresses them with rapid and unintelligible diagnoses which sound very impressive, despite meaning absolutely nothing.
His crankiness is commonly attributed to the chronic pain in his leg. This is a lie told to justify his carrying a cane (or "whacking stick"), which he uses to beat people (or "whack off"). Those who knew him before his supposed injury know the truth - that he has always enjoyed beating people with sticks - but are too afraid to say so where he might hear.
He is a staunch atheist and openly mocks colleagues or patients who express any level of belief in any aspect of religion, but has been caught several times praying to "mighty Thor" to grant him the strength to beat his "slaves", by which he means his fellow doctors. What he does believe in is that it's never lupus.
House frequently says "Everybody lies" and to prove this he often promises not to hit people with his cane - a promise he, of course, cannot keep. However, he is the only person who lies, because "Everybody lies" is a lie.
Many believe that House refuses to wear a lab coat so as not to be recognized as a doctor. The truth is that no one will let him wear one, fearful of what he might say to patients and that they might assume him to be qualified and actually take his advice.
House has a small social life and his only friend is Dr. James Wilson, who doesn't mind the beatings, due to his masochism.
