@hughlaurie@jan_murray House was never really about medicine. The cases were just a doorway into something deeper: pain, addiction, loneliness, denial, and the fear of truly living. I’ve watched it three times, and each viewing spoke to a different part of my soul, fears, and hopes
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

I have signed this letter in the hope that the government will at last act and bring forward a complete ban on trade with the illegal Israeli settlements as a start to a comprehensive sanctions programme.
Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russians destroyed the Kakhovka Dam — one of the worst ecological disasters of the century.
Hundreds of villages flooded, dozens of lives lost, ecosystems wiped out for generations.
Not an accident — state terror.
We remember.
