TV show connecting to science


One of my favorite TV shows is House. It is about a doctor, Gregory House, and his team trying to help patients. Dr. House is a very unusual character because he does not like communicating with the patients, is very stubborn, and acts like he hates people and hates all his patients. He also has a mood to him that makes him seem like he does not care if the patient gets better or not. This show takes place in the Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. This show connects to science in many ways. First of all, Dr. House and his team use medicines to cure or treat the diseases and infections. The medicines are made by different kinds of scientists. Also, on House, they use different medicines to calm heart rates and stabilize the patient’s body. Another way this show connects to science is that the team and other doctors on the show use machines and instruments developed to find out what is wrong with a patient. They are also used to enhance to knowledge of science, created by researchers, doctors, and scientists. An additional way House connects to science is that Dr. House has a crippled leg. He takes patients’ unused morphine pills and uses it to stop his leg from paining. Morphine is a pain-reliever that can be dangerous if overdosed. House takes the chance of dying due to a morphine overdose. This relates to science because Morphine is a pharmaceutical drug created with certain chemicals. All in all the show House is a very intense show that is directly and indirectly related to science.
