Sherlock Holmes with a Stethoscope
It appears that I am not the only one to notice that Dr. Gregory House of the Fox television series is a dead ringer for Sherlock Holmes. House shares Holmes' cool detachment, total absorption in problem solving, musical talent, and even drug addiction. While other doctors fumble or guess at diagnoses, House's relentless application of deductive reasoning invariably produces a satisfying and elegant solution to each successive medical dilemma to the amazement and consternation of his less gifted colleagues. In his rare off hours, House devotes himself to his piano in his spare, impeccably modern apartment. House's intellectual elegance beneath his gruff exterior is mesmerizing.
