The creepiest thing was when the kid ripped out the CI...ewww. Oh...& the whole thing of them having him hooked up right after the surgery...not quite accurate!

I was disappointed, though, that I ... Read More suggested that my students watch it & it ended up having exotic dancers throughout the whole show. That was NOT my intentions when I suggested it. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the butt...you know, some parent writing me a nasty note saying she can't believe I would have her child watch that type of thing.....I don't really have control over what they show on tv though."

My daughter is a big fan of House and she told me they have doctors advising for accuracy.

Seeing tonight's show I couldn't believe it. It was so bad it was embarrassing.

Regardless of whatever happened in House. I thought of this picture of the deafies and AD'ers in here, WOOOO Congratulations to you guys! I know who you are

Naisho, you aren't a scary stalker are you??

Airboeing744 · 04-27-2009, 11:32 PM

As a deaf person & cochlear implant patient from Champaign, IL; I have to say that I disagree with the show 100%:

1) it is PHYSICALLY impossible to rip out ($50,000) inner implant with your bare hands; even if you tried, it doesn't work. I tried that; unless you have a knife OR long fingernails, it just doesn't work at

2) it takes a special E.N.T. surgeon to do the implant - Chase & House just doesn't have the skills or the requirements to do that type of operation because you have to really read and understand the CT results and have to navigate to avoid the nerves, etc.. can't just do it on a whim..

3) It is standard to wait up to a month after the surgery to give your body time to heal before turning on the implant - because the weekend after surgery; I got sick with dizziness issue... so that's why they have to wait a while... to iron out any "issues"...

4) to get that implant; total cost (including surgery and therapy) can be over $100,000 and the implants have to be on special order WEEKS ahead of time. You can't just have the CI on standby and install on a whim... the patient has to select what kind of brand, do some research, make an order, finish the insurance paperwork and then surgery.. that takes MONTHS to finish..

Nah, I dunno how you came up with that but the last comment is directed towards my friend in there!

I'm jealous of the stardom. I wanted to be in House.

**Daredevel7** · 04-27-2009, 11:35 PM

Do you see the bag on the stairs in the pic? Yea that's mine. I went to the bathroom, and I didn't hear them saying that they were going to start filming. DAMN!!!!!!

"I know who you are " is like something the villain in a scary movie says.

I agree with you... I am sure that FOX will not be happy with this ...

yeah same here. I was like "wtf, no no that's all wrong!" but then again, it's just a show. Kind of surprised me the inaccuracies in tonight's episode, when I know they do research and consult professionals to get illnesses and procedures accurate for the show. Did they just not find a CI surgeon to consult?

It's entertainment. Nothing new.

I am down right disappointed.

Anyone willing to record it (dvd) with subtitles and send it to me in UK (I will pay of course) :-D

Just waiting for few days after air then go to Hulu - Watch your favorites. Anytime. For free. and find HOUSE in there and it come with subtitle. I am not sure that hulu.com is for worldwide yet. Let me know if hulu.com is work for you.

If true then use IP address spoofing.

I mean, how many people watches the show? Millions. And what are they going to think? I know it isn't the first time the CIs has been put in a negative spotlight by a show, but this show is by far the most negative one surrounding CIs. I mean, if it was in actual real life and if I was THAT patient I would most definitely feel VIOLATED and I would SUE House AND the hospital for EVERYTHING House and the hospital has because it would most definitely violate all kinds of ethical regulations as well as medical regulations that ever existed. The patient may be under 18 but he is 14, most definitely old enough for the patient to make his own decision regarding CIs, and he already had asked that his hearing loss be left alone, but House went ahead and implanted him without anyone's permission, especially the mother's in the first place! House never even had the mother's permission in the first place!

I'm glad they did not use the brand of CI that I was implanted with...

They just happen to have a $10,000 device "laying around"?? And why would Chase know how to do an implant?

Activating within MINUTES of surgery?? And doing it while he is a sleep? Are you kidding me?

He can now magically understand speech with no rehab? Lovely.

And last and perhaps worst....Riping out his CI because he was SO against it?? Come on!

You can bet your ass I was VERY EXTREMELY OFFENDED!

This episode was pretty much downhill from the very start.

You should have seen me. I was swearing at the TV.

I'm pretty angry.

Ditto here. I like it because i know no one would dare to pull the ci out of the head through the hole of the skull. get real.

**Chevy57** · 04-28-2009, 04:39 AM

I don't watch it on tv much but I now did it last night. It s dumb. I was disappointed. There were outrageous inaccuracies and unprofessional behavior in the doctor. There is a lot of talk about Deaf culture which appears silly and irrelevant because of the overwhelming Hearing bias of the show.

Frisky Feline · 04-28-2009, 04:43 AM

Dr House is not a documentary channel. it is just a bsing show. There were pleny of inaccurate stories about many diseases on dr house too.

Lucia, it seems like you don't actually watch House... he risks almost every patient's life on a whim. He does whatever the hell he wants to do. It only touched a nerve now because YOU have the CI. But maybe there is a pregnant young woman out there who is yelling at the show because it showed that a pregnant young woman would rather save herself than her baby. They'd be yelling out "THEY ARE PUTTING PREGNANT TEENAGERS IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT!"

I mean House has even "killed" some people purposefully to make them clinically dead for a few minutes "to check something"!!!! And you're upset about House not getting permission? Yea.. I don't think you watch House, sorry!

Ryan Lane was indeed the star. And he's obviously not 14 years old.
