In the middle of a House episode, I tripped harder than usual on a medical idiocy.

"Why would you [commit a medical idiocy]?" I yelled at the screen.

"Rivka," Michael said patiently, "...you're asking a medical question of Bertie Wooster."

Damn, LJ ate my post, but I was going to recommend Polite Dissent's medical reviews of each episode. Apparently some doctors do get patients who watch too much House and expect similar treatment (not the rudeness, but "are you sure it isn't <rare condition>?") so he tries to debunk the medical mistakes in House and other fiction.

Catching up on Polite Dissent, I just found House Bingo which may make the show more rewarding.
