There are things going badly wrong. I need to do yoga. The actor has been nominated for Best Actor at the Emmy Awards for three years in a row, and the series is shown in 66 countries. As Dr House, he walks with a limp in his right leg - due to an infarction in his thigh muscle which caused him to have the dead tissue amputated. In a recent interview he described how difficult it was to live in Los Angeles, apart from his family in the UK.
He said he and his wife Jo decided it would be too tough on their two sons and one daughter to uproot them from their life in London.

An aneurysm in his thigh had clotted, leading to an infarction and causing his quadriceps muscle to become necrotic. This resulted in the partial loss of use in his leg and left House with a lesser, but still serious, level of pain for the rest of his life. Gregory House is a rebellious diagnostician with a double specialty in infectious disease and nephrology.
The reason Dr. Kutner commits suicide in "Simple Explanation" or rather, why the writers ' killed ' the character is because Kal Penn, the actor who plays Kutner , accepted a job at the White House.
At the end of "Help Me", she is in House's bathroom while he is on the floor with Vicodin in his hand after the patient he was working on with Cuddy dies from a fat embolism after he amputated her leg after much debate with Cuddy throughout. Neither is he a psychopath.
Throughout the series it has shown that House does have strong, if hidden, feelings, and a sense of compassion. His feelings and attachment towards Cuddy being the most overt example. After a long period of mourning, Wilson returns to the hospital to announce that he's leaving. House once again tries to confront Wilson about this, but Wilson blows him off again. However, when House's father died, Cuddy enlisted Wilson to ensure that House attended the funeral. No, House does not have any type of autism or aspergers.
House is not unable to relate to people or interact with them, he deliberately chooses not to. Indeed, House is hyper-observant of other people and their emotional states. He can take one look at a person and describe their whole life history.
The story behind his leg injury was finally explained in season 1 , episode 21, "Three Stories", where it was revealed that House's leg injury was caused by an infarction that eventually got so bad doctors suggested amputating.
In "Three Stories", House tells a group of medical students about three separate cases he worked on, and one of which turns out to be the story of how he ended up with his leg injury.
He was out playing golf five years before the events of the show when he suffered from an infarction an internal blockage of an artery in his leg. Unfortunately for House, the only initial symptom was pain, and by the time he realized how serious the injury actually was, there was so much muscle and tissue death that amputation seemed like the best course of action.
However, House refused to amputate and instead underwent a risky bypass surgery with an incredibly painful recovery process. However, there have been more than one occasion in which he put at risk his career, freedom and sometimes even his life to save a patient, leaving open how much he doesn't care about his patients' lives.
Occasionally, House can display the same sort of hypocrisy he decries in others, such as his derision for Cuddy when she had the naming ceremony for her daughter. A particularly egregious example would be his acquisition of a handgun after being shot by Moriarty , while stating to Masters that the Second Amendment is the part of the Constitution which says that people have the right to be stupid.
He also apparently has inherited John House 's service automatic and Mameluke sword. Although House has had a number of co-workers, employers, lovers, and acquaintances during his life, it appears that he has only had seven real relationships during his life.
This is primarily because House's personality is most likely a deliberate attempt to alienate those who want to get to know him better. The seven people who have been able to overcome his defensiveness have found a person worth salvaging, or even cherishing. See also Hilson Wilson is House's best and only friend.
Like just about everyone else, Wilson admires House for his considerable medical skills. However, he probably cares more for House as a human being. Wilson has noted that this has led to a co-dependent relationship, with Wilson acting as an enabler.
For example, Wilson has kept House well-supplied with Vicodin and often makes excuses for his behavior to get House out of trouble. For those who know both of them, they realize that Wilson will drop everything when House needs him.
When Stacy House's ex-girlfriend eventually left House, it was Wilson who kept him going. As a result, Wilson is very protective of House. However, Wilson is no pushover; he often challenges House over his behavior and is not above tricking him to show House that although he might be right about almost everything, that skill doesn't apply to his own behavior.
In one episode, House pretends to be gay to get the attention of a neighbor and Wilson even proposes to House. See also - Housy House's ex-girlfriend and possibly the only woman House has ever shown outward emotion for.
Although their relationship broke up over House's anger about his disability, it's clear that they are physically, emotionally, and intellectually attracted to each other.
Unlike most people, Stacy can see right through House's defensiveness and can often see through his attempts to manipulate her. Most of House's fear of relationships can probably be tracked back to the pain he felt when Stacy walked out of his life. House's father was a strict disciplinarian, but although his punishments were severe, they were never arbitrary or fueled by anger. As a Marine, John probably felt his son would respond well to the same sort of discipline that made him the man he is.
Instead, House became the antithesis of his father. Where John is compulsively neat, House dresses like a slob.
The father is punctual while the son is constantly late. Where John is straightforward, his son is manipulative. However, although House clearly wants nothing more to do with his father, it is just as clear that his father wants to have a relationship with his son and share the important things in his life.
From the way House treats women, one might expect that his relationship with his mother was troubled. However, House's mother loves him unconditionally, and the reverse is true as well. It was probably this unconditional love that led House to pursue his dreams. However, House realizes that he is a disappointment to his mother because the thing that his mother wants the most is for him to be happy, and he seems incapable of being anything other than miserable.
His wish to avoid his father has the unfortunate fallout of taking him away from his mother as well. For years at PPTH, they seemed to deny this attraction, and each appeared to take active steps to discourage it - House pressing Cuddy's failure to keep active as a doctor and her strict adherence to medical protocol, and Cuddy emphasizing House's lack of work ethic and reliability.
Thinking it is another hallucination, House checks to make sure that he did not take the Vicodin. He had not, and it was true that Cuddy had ended her engagement because of her feelings for House. However, House was unable to face the prospect of losing Cuddy to cancer without resorting to Vicodin, and when Cuddy realized his inability to cope without drugs, she ended their relationship.
House was fundamentally incapable of dealing with this rejection, culminating in him deliberately destroying the remains of their relationship by driving his car through her front wall. More insights into House's view of relationships were obtained in the episode Mirror Mirror.
When House was with the mirror patient, Thirteen was in the room with them. The patient chose to mirror House. At first, the patient started to make comments about how good-looking Thirteen was, then he started to express regret about how it was impossible for him to do anything about it. It appears from this that House would like to have relationships with some of the women he works with, like Lisa Cuddy and Allison Cameron , but knows that pursuing such a relationship would be inappropriate and near impossible.
House marries Dominika in season 7, following his break-up with Cuddy. However, this is just a sham, so that Dominika could get a green card. In season 8, they start living together to prove to the INS that they are a legitimate couple. House's dysfunctionality is further exhibited when Dominika discovers House has been keeping the news of her citizenship from her, leading to her distrust of him and causing her to angrily move out.
However, during House's euology in the series finale, Dominika claimed that he "was her husband for real" stating that she couldn't help but love him despite what he did. When questioned initially, House told Cameron that he hired her for her looks. However, he expanded on that by admitting that he surmised that because she was so good looking, she could have coasted into any sort of life and instead must have chosen to dedicate her life to medicine.
Cameron expressed a romantic interest in House on several occasions, and they dated once the one date was Cameron's condition for coming back to work. House has been apparently uninterested in pursuing a relationship - he told Cameron she tends to form relationships with people who need "fixing", and that it is his damaged personality that in fact draws her to him.
House, however, betrays more than a passing interest in Cameron to Wilson in the episode Role Model when he reacts perceptibly to Wilson's comment about 'hitting on' Cameron.
Although Cameron has stated that she is "over" House, neither her colleagues nor Wilson or Cuddy believe her. Both characters retain an ambiguous interest in the other.
In No Reason , House repeatedly fantasizes about Cameron, first for her abiding concern for his injury and later as he caresses her with a surgical robot. For her part Cameron lets slip to a documentary team in Ugly that she loves House and later we see her trying to convince herself that it was an innocent remark. Cameron and House share a passionate kiss in Half Wit , but it is soon revealed that she only does so to try and draw his blood.
After Chase is fired and Foreman leaves in Human Error , Cameron hands her resignation to House, ostensibly because she has learned all she can from him.
Since leaving House's team, Cameron has been far more authoritative with House, bringing him cases and pointing out how his quick diagnoses have been wrong. However, it appears she may be getting more authority over House, primarily due to her excellent administrative skills, honed by years of doing House's dictation and keeping up his charts. House prefers to be addressed as "House" by everyone and is rarely addressed as "Greg".
The only people he doesn't object to addressing him as "Greg" are Stacy Warner and his parents. He usually takes being addressed as "Greg" as a sign that the individual is being overly familiar and he often goes out of his way to hint that it takes more than calling him by his first name to strike up a friendship with him.
Marty Hamilton tried to get on House's good side by addressing him as "Greg" in DNR only to have House pause and carefully emphasize "Marty" in return. Wilson has also referred to House as "Greg". One example of this is in " Joy to the World " where a gift he gave to House has a note that reads: "Greg, made me think of you.
