Mogorva, akaratos és szemtelen. Abban valószínűleg mindenki egyetért, hogy Doktor House stílusa hagy némi kivetnivalót maga után, ám nála jobb orvost keresve sem találhatnánk a sorozatokban. Nem csoda hát, hogy idei első celebangol leckénknek ő lett a főszereplője. Hiszen bármennyire is mogorva a világ kedvenc dokija, mégis sokat tanulhatunk tőle. A következőkben Doktor House aranyköpései segítségével ismerkedhetsz meg a leggyakoribb orvosi szakszavakkal, ráadásul a rajongókat egy igazi csemege is várja egy kvíz formájában. A mellékhatásoktól pedig garantáltan nem kell tartanod!
Let’s start with some funny quotes from the series. Besides laughing, you can also learn some useful words in connection with health and illnesses.
"...treating illnesses is why we became doctors, treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable."
"Pretty much all the drugs I prescribe are addictive and dangerous."
"The treatments don't always work. Symptoms never lie."
Sebastian: "Every minute 4 people die of TB."
House: "Wow, how can you sleep at night?"
Sebastian: "There's people dying in Africa of a disease that we cured over 50 years ago ..."
House: "Yeah, I know. I saw the concert ...
Cameron: "Could pain medication cause an orgasm?"
House: "I wish."
House: "Yeah, sounds like a medical thing. It's called cataplexy. Catfight and cataplexy on the catwalk. Cool."
House: "When guys have brain/crotch problems, it's usually the result of using one too much and the other too little."
House: "Awesome. A sex fiend with a swollen tongue. Just think of all the places I can make Foreman search."
House: "So we have a new symptom to explain; why does his throat think his lungs are his stomach?"
