According to his boss, Dr. Lisa Cuddy and ex-girlfriend Stacy Warner, Gregory House only has one real friend, Dr. James Wilson.

Hugh Laurie you are the best. i wish to have a boyfriend like you....
was a wonderful show but I find it hard to watch now. Maybe I'm missing something.
His leg injury was caused by muscle cell death, which lead to Stacy, his then girlfriend, to order the doctors watching over him to perform an infarction. This is not the safest or smartest medical decision, but if she hadn't done it he would have lost the use of his leg. Now he is in constant pain.
As before, I am not David Jones, but his wife.

As below, somehow I got logged on the site and his name is attached to this, sorry for confusion.
Not Crazy
My kids and I started watching house, now we are hooked.
I don't even know why. When they did the storyline w/the cop and put house on trial, I didn't like it, my husband, a nurse, said it was very true to life they way that was woven through. I like it better the other way. Some how it feels like you learn a lot watching it. Kind of teachers you.
Anyway, we really look forward to it.
Not Crazy
His leg injury was caused by his dog.
I just started watching House - I didnt think I'd like it but now I really do.
Hmm. You didn't mentioned that in a further Sherlock Holmes reference, house is in apartment B of number 221.
I've never watched this show, but this character sketch sounds interesting!
