    The cases may be real, however medicine is never done like in House.

      The application of cutting corners, but the actual science and interplay of symptoms is accurate.

        That’s what they are saying. Sure House is scientifically accurate as far as the symptoms and diseases.

        Scrubs is far more accurate, because that’s what practicing medicine in a hospital can be like, and they show how medicine is actually practiced, as opposed to House’s “Superdoc” approach.

          That’s just turning the argument into “Do you want realistic medical science” or “realistic day to day operations of a hospital”.

          I’m not going to argue over surveys and personal opinion. I’m in it for the science of disease, not how a hospital functions.

            A fair and valid point.
            I like that these shows give us, the audience, the ability to see into a world which we may not already get a chance to do so on a regular basis, from different viewing angles, while still managing to keep the stories interesting in their own way.

            I liked both shows. Each was great in their own merit.
