When it comes to noticing fallacies, House is probably the worst offender. That medical "team" did everything from inserting the NG tubes to performing the MRI's, to running the lab, to running the dialysis machine. Uh-huh. Riiiight.

There was never a nurse on the set unless it was House calling for a cleanup on aisle five.

(Nursing students-- and the general public-- should be aware that this is not reality :) ).

The awkward moment when the viewer notice all the nurses have double d's and could probably double as peaches in a strip club.
