I think House would be a really bad show for true hypochondriacs to watch.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm watching my tape of last night's Bones.
Why the annoying supposition that the guy being dead meant he was a terrorist and not a victim of an assassination? I mean, duh. It wouldn't be the first time, not even on American soil, that a peace leader was taken out by the bad guys. They got over it finally but SHEESH.

12 hours from leaving the office to being back at my desk = really not enough time to unwind, eat and sleep.
No kidding! Hope this is temporary...

It's a remora, dimwit.
I think "House" would be a bad idea for hypochondriacs because in every episode they never figure out what the real disease is until the last minute. So not only do you have a wacky combination of the Black Plague and Tourette's - you're going to nearly die of them because even the best doctors will treat you for Halitosis.

Yes! I'm not a hypochondriac, but I am a worrywort even at the best of times, and struggle with anxiety. I don't need any new fears, or any less faith in my doctor. I think I watched House two or three times last year (because I really do enjoy me some Hugh Laurie), but it was too much for me. Besides, as lovely as Laurie is, the show is far too formulaic for me, and that itches. You are not fooling me into thinking any diagnosis rendered before the last couple of scenes is anything near the truth.

It's like any medical show - to have real 42 minute drama, you can't have a doctor spend time taking a history, looking over test results and then coming up with a correct diagnosis. You've got to have wacky mistakes and crazy love affairs and theremins getting lost in weird places.
