== Removed factual errors ==
 
His primary areas of interest involve the ethical issues associated with advancing biomedical technology, the biological basis of moral awareness, and studies in the integration of theology and [[philosophy]] of biology. His courses in biomedical ethics in the Program in Human Biology have included: Biology, Technology and Human Life, and Ethical Issues in the Neurosciences. He has also taught a course on genetics and human origins with [[Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza|Dr. Luca Cavalli-Sforza]], director of the [[Human Genome Diversity Project]] and a course on [[epidemic]]s, [[evolution]] and ethics with [[Baruch Blumberg|Dr. Baruch Blumberg]] who received the [[Nobel Prize]] for discovery of the [[Hepatitis B]] [[virus]]. He has worked with [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration|NASA]] on projects in [[astrobiology]] and since [[1998]] he has been a member of the Chemical and Biological Warfare [[working group]] at the [[Stanford University Center for International Security and Cooperation]].
I removed a number of errors. First, the article stated that House's Hallucination in Meaning was the result of the absence of his leg pain in the beginning of Season 3, although CLEARLY House askes for ketamine when he wakes up.
 
Dr. Hurlbut has come to national prominence for his advocacy of Altered Nuclear Transfer (ANT), a scientific method of obtaining [[pluripotent]] stem cells without the creation and destruction of human [[embryos]].
In addition, it said that both House and Holmes refuse to admit that their drug habits are addictions. However, in the season 1 episode "Detox" House admits that he is addicted, but that it isn't a problem.

Ester Doyle's name was spelled Esther in the article. Although House did spell it "Esther" on his white board, the file says Ester, which can be assumed to be the correct name.

The article said that it was revealed in Meaning that House's shooter was to be named Moriarty. However, this was never stated during the show, but the shooter was simply named Moriarty in the script.

== Removed some odd comments ==
 
"Very funny" from the end of Dr. Foreman's description, "Also cannot match clothes/wear anything tasteful to save his life" from the end of Dr Chase's, and "Has a thing for vests/pantsuits and hair clips" from Dr Cameron's.
 
 
 
Another comment that caught my eye; rarely anyone dies. I recall an episode where a lady was bitten by a bat and had rabies? I believe she died. but not to sure. Sorry if I made an error in typing this here, first time. huy2k [[User:59.167.185.208|59.167.185.208]] 10:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 
:I can recall two episodes where at least one person died in the end, the Rabies/Homeless woman, and the College student/Radioactive material one. I've seen mosts episodes, and can't currently recall any others, and frankly don't feel like researching. If anyone can recall any other episodes bring it up, because this quip does seem to be an interesting point on the show and worth inclusion.[[User:D-rew|D-rew]] 20:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 
::Well, off the top of my head there's also the police officer who got Foreman sick, and the old researcher who wanted a physician-assisted suicide. Can't find a guide to how many patients have died, despite all the lists of other trivia out there... I haven't seen all the episodes but I also feel like considering how often patients are on the brink of death, not very many of them actually die. Which is to be expected; House and the team are supposed to be really, really good at what they do, and even if it's not realistic to expect them to solve every case, TV viewers would take failures as evidence that they just weren't that good. I guess it's worth noting that while the police officer died, they did still solve the mystery (and save Foreman). *ahem* Anyway, in my opinion it's probably worth including the statement that patients rarely die. --[[User:Galaxiaad|Galaxiaad]] 21:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 
:::Oh, and as for the physician-assisted suicide guy: in the end they did solve the mystery before he died, ''and'' he got his wish because they found his disease was incurable. Could it have worked out any other way? ;) --[[User:Galaxiaad|Galaxiaad]] 21:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC) (who love, love, loves ''House'', and damnit, I know Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, but I can't help myself)
 
::::I don't think "rarely" is the word. In edition to the homeless woman, the college student, and the police officer, there was also baby in "Maternity", the wife in "Babies and Bathwater", and both the mother and baby in "Forever". If this issue must be included, I think it should be "often" rather than "Rarely". [[User:SousaFan88|SousaFan88]] 02:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 
== First person voice in plot section? ==
 
What's up with the "I've never seen someone die" bit at the end of the plot section? [[User:12.10.217.50|12.10.217.50]] 14:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC) Anony
 
 
Whoops, never mind. Was looking at old version.
:yeah, I got rid of that. --[[User:RazorICE|RazorICE]] 08:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 
== Spoilers? ==
 
On the character list it mentions two recurring characters:
 
* Stacy Warner (Sela Ward) – Dr. House's ex-girlfriend and former lawyer for Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
 
and
 
* Edward Vogler (Chi McBride) – Billionaire owner of a pharmaceutical firm and former board chairman of the hospital.
 
I've just bought season 2 of House and I'm working my way through it; AFAIK Stacy Warner is still the lawyer. If she become the 'former' lawyer is this not giving something away about what is to come? In the same way, stating that Edward Vogler is the former board chairman is both giving away that he will take over the role and that he will lose this position for someone who is working their way through season 1.
 
--[[User:Shastrix|Shastrix]] 17:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 
:Hm, and the characters list is before the spoiler tags. I suppose one thing we could do is just move the template up... what would you suggest though? If we leave out the word "former" then it wouldn't be currently true... --[[User:Galaxiaad|Galaxiaad]] 20:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 
::The main characters are involved from the outset, so knowing about them isn't really spoiling anything; the recurring characters on the other hand turn up later in the series and may therefore reveal aspects of the plot. I think placing the recurring characters within the spoilers section would probably be best as editing the descriptions will make them inaccurate and removing them would render the section meaningless. --[[User:Shastrix|Shastrix]] 19:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 
:::I decided to move the spoilers tag to above where the recurring characters are mentioned. Even though this makes the format of the article less aesthetically pleasing, I feel mentioning details of the polt outside the tag constitutes spoliers. --[[User:Shastrix|Shastrix]] 14:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 
== Empty Episode Deletion ==
 
Hey, if you've looked at some of the first season episodes, you'll see that I've started some of the episode pages but there's no real content there. I got a message saying that they would be deleted soon if they're not filled in a little bit. I'm not very good at that and I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help fill in some of the info to save having to redo the work again. Even basic info would keep it alive a little bit longer. Sorry for my incompetance :( --[[User:Sidewinded|Sidewinded]] 23:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 
== "Dubbing" section ==
 
::''Parts of the script are regularly changed in content during translation in order to make contexts understandable also for people unfamiliar with American culture. For example in the episode "Honeymoon" (1-22) Dr. Cameron asks Stacy about people with mental diseases in her husband's family. In the original version she answers: "His sister voted for Nader - twice!" while in the German dubbed version Ralph Nader's name is replaced by the one of George W. Bush.''
Is that really necessary? I've always understood that that kind of thing is standard practice for dubbing TV shows and movies, and as such isn't unique to this show at all. --[[User:SwitChar|Switch]] 11:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 
* '''Remove''' [[User:Dagnabit|Dagnabit]] 11:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
*Kind of amusing, but not encyclopedic. '''Remove'''. --[[User:Galaxiaad|Galaxiaad]] 17:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 
==Season 2 finale==
Exactly how much of the season 2 finale was hallucinated? The article currently says "the entire episode" but clearly that isn't true, since he *was* shot... I'm still a little confused about the whole thing though, so clarification is welcome. --[[User:Galaxiaad|Galaxiaad]] 03:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'll see if I can clarify it on the article. It's been a while since I've seen the episode, but basically everything between him being shot and seeing him wheeled in on a hospital bed was hallucinated, if I recall correctly. [[User:EWS23|<font color="green">'''EWS23'''</font>]] ([[User talk:EWS23|Leave me a message!]]) 03:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 
== How many series are there? ==
 
I'm working on a request to improve the episode template, and I need to know that. I can't find it anywhere in the article. -[[User:Amarkov|Amarkov]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Amarkov|blah]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/User:Amarkov|edits]]</sub></small> 00:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 
Also, what are your opinions on adding a diagnosis on the infobox? That was the main request, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. -[[User:Amarkov|Amarkov]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Amarkov|blah]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/User:Amarkov|edits]]</sub></small> 00:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 
== Title ==
 
In the opening credits, the word ''House'' is displayed for a few seconds, and then ''M.D.'' fades in slightly to the right and below the line. Should this article be redirected to a new article that reflects the "correct" title? - [[User:Dudesleeper|Dudesleeper]] 03:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure this was debated in the Archives (top right). It was originally at House, MD I think, and moved here because Fox publicity material and schedules referred to it as "House".
