Ele ����¯�¿�½������© sarc����¯�¿�½������¡stico, mal-humorado, debochado e na maioria das vezes intrat����¯�¿�½������¡vel mas ����¯�¿�½������© um g����¯�¿�½������ªnio e tamb����¯�¿�½������©m o melhor m����¯�¿�½������©dico que existe. Estamos falando do renomado Doutor Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), protagonista da s����¯�¿�½������©rie de TV HOUSE M.D. exibida pelo canal Universal Channel da NET.

Avesso ����¯�¿�½������  qualquer tipo de regra e sempre pronto a quebrar paradigmas o doutor House ����¯�¿�½������© a ant����¯�¿�½������­tese completa daquele bondoso m����¯�¿�½������©dico de fam����¯�¿�½������­lia que atende sempre as pessoas com um sorriso no rosto e uma imensa dose de paci����¯�¿�½������ªncia. Ele simplesmente n����¯�¿�½������£o suporta conviver com os pacientes e sempre parte do princ����¯�¿�½������­pio de que todo mundo mente. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Existe sempre uma raz����¯�¿�½������£o\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" - diz ele.

Esse ����¯�¿�½������© apenas um dos muitos atrativos da s����¯�¿�½������©rie. Descartando a hipocrisia, House sempre prefere deixar tudo em pratos limpos e letras grandes. N����¯�¿�½������£o suporta pieguice, odeia falso moralismo e passa por cima de tudo quando o assunto ����¯�¿�½������© salvar a vida dos seus pacientes, para o desespero da Dra. Cuddy, administradora do Hospital.




 
Para alguns, House ����¯�¿�½������© um obcecado pelo quebra-cabe����¯�¿�½������§a imposto pelas doen����¯�¿�½������§as e n����¯�¿�½������£o propriamente pelo paciente em si. Em v����¯�¿�½������¡rios momentos inclusive ele ����¯�¿�½������© acusado de n����¯�¿�½������£o dar import����¯�¿�½������¢ncia ����¯�¿�½������¡ vida das pessoas e deixar-se levar pelo fasc����¯�¿�½������­nio das descobertas como se tudo fosse um jogo. No entanto, ele se importa sim, mas ao seu modo. Ele apenas n����¯�¿�½������£o deseja se envolver com as pessoas nem saber das hist����¯�¿�½������³rias delas, o que fazem, o que pensam, etc. ����¯�¿�½���¯���¿���½ desse modo que ele funciona - e funciona bem - sem entrar nos \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"detalhes pat����¯�¿�½������©ticos da vida dos outros\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" como sempre diz.

Ele simplesmente n����¯�¿�½������£o transparece sua preocupa����¯�¿�½������§����¯�¿�½������£o nem seu apre����¯�¿�½������§o pelas pessoas, mas sim protege-se de tais sentimentos com uma indefect����¯�¿�½������­vel coura����¯�¿�½������§a de sarcasmo. Mas se importa sim ! Tanto ou mais do que os outros m����¯�¿�½������©dicos. Ele apenas n����¯�¿�½������£o quer ser visto se importando, s����¯�¿�½������³ isso. Algumas pessoas o tocam de alguma forma, seja por algo que dizem ou por terem hist����¯�¿�½������³rias parecidas ����¯�¿�½������¡ dele. Sentimentos existem, mas ficam do lado de dentro.

Acompanhado pela sua fiel equipe, os Doutores Chase, Foreman e Cameron e o seu amigo oncologista o Doutor Wilson ( que parece ser o ����¯�¿�½������ºnico a entend����¯�¿�½������ª-lo como pessoa ) ele destr����¯�¿�½������³i tudo o que encontrar de ortodoxo pela frente, tanto no plano da medicina como interpessoal, sem nunca contrariar seus princ����¯�¿�½������­pios. Por isso ele ����¯�¿�½������© respeitado e odiado por todos na mesma medida. Todos detestam seu jeito de conduzir as coisas, mas, no fundo, sentem um pouquinho de inveja por n����¯�¿�½������£o terem a mesma coragem que House tem para ser \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"House\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", ou seja, algu����¯�¿�½������©m que n����¯�¿�½������£o pode ser comprado nem dissuadido.

House definitivamente n����¯�¿�½������£o joga no time dos \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"politicamente corretos\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" e ainda faz pouco de quem joga. Ele est����¯�¿�½������¡ sempre l����¯�¿�½������¡ para provar que dizer e fazer s����¯�¿�½������£o coisas bem diferentes e que os fins justificam os meios quando se trata de salvar uma vida. Realmente ����¯�¿�½������© um personagem fascinante em todos os sentidos. Tanto pela sua genialidade quanto pelo seu jeito \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"rabugento carism����¯�¿�½������¡tico\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" que parece estar sempre em eterno conflito consigo mesmo. 

De um jeito ou de outro, ele sempre conquista a todos.
