House is just evil - and we love him for that... But yes - I remember once upon a time watching casualty, and thinking "for god's sake man, pull yourself together and drag them to hospital". You know what - I'm a taxi driver with blue lights, for all my training the best place for a sick person is in hospital so that they can get something other than the half-arsed assessment I can do on them. That's why I want everyone to travel to hospital. (It's also why I'm against the idea of ECPs - but thats a tale for another day). When I was on a nursing course, far back in the mists of time, we got to talking about doing what was right for the patient - I suggested that as the people who knew best, we had a duty in coercing people into getting the best treatment. I was told that I had the morals or a Serbian war criminal. By the lecturer. (Who was, I point out, still breastfeeding her five year old child...)
