09/24: Real Life Dr. House Talks About Our Dr. House's Vicodin Addiction
ABC News has an essay by Dr. John House, a hearing expert who has apparently been asked if he was the Dr. House on TV. In the write up, the real Dr. House talks about the TV doc's vicodin addiction and how, in real life, it could lead to a total loss of hearing.
"House, M.D." started its fifth season on Sept. 16. Any delay in the start of the season because of a looming actors strike gives the writers for "House, M.D." the chance to write an episode involving a patient with sudden hearing loss.
It would be a medical mystery just like every other episode. The cause of his patient's sudden hearing loss would turn out to be a Vicodin addiction. In the episode, Dr. House could finally enter rehab for his own addiction to Vicodin. More importantly, thousands of loyal viewers will learn how an addiction to Vicodin can cause total deafness. What a wonderful public service opportunity.
