I'm watching reruns & it seems that in every show he tels one of his staff to give a patient prednazone.

Prednisone is a poor choice of diagnostic aid.

I've seen the show but not enough to say anything about Tony's question.
It's kind of an interesting show, but I don't watch anything on TV with regularity.
You can see all the House shows as internet videos on fox.com
I heard Hugh Laurie interviewed recently and it was funny to hear him speak "normal".
He's a Brit, so the "American accent" he has in the show is faked.

I think I've only ever seen 10 minutes of that show. I've so much of Hugh Laurie in other things that his accent was just downright annoying. In "Flight of the Phoenix" he <span style="font-style: italic">looks</span> exactly the same as he does on House though (without the pseudo-limp) but with his normal voice

If you can see him as Bertie Wooster in the old "Jeeves and Wooster" series from the UK.
It's hard to believe that it is the same actor....

Well, I'm watching <span style="font-style: italic">NCIS</span> - the one where a sailor is killed by his ex-fiancee & then one of the investigators is stabbed with the same weapon used to kill the sailor....might be a good show except the basic premise is flawed!
The real NCIS has no jurisdiction over crimes committed off-base by civilians who do not pose a threat to the Navy or its personnel...<span style="font-style: italic">"It works closely with other local, state, federal, and foreign agencies to counter and investigate the most serious crimes: terrorism, espionage, computer intrusion, homicide, rape, child abuse, arson, procurement fraud, and more.</span> Also, <span style="font-style: italic">NCIS investigates all major criminal offenses (felonies)—those crimes punishable under the Code of Military Justice by confinement of more than one year—within the Department of the Navy."</span> The only crimes punishable under the UCMJ are those committed by military personnel.
Even though NCIS special agents are authorized by law to conduct arrests of military members and civilians alike, both on and off military installations, that authority primarily allows them to complete investigations of crimes committed on gov't property involving threats to Navy personnel or by Navy personnel.
The jurisdiction for the crimes on the TV program would go to the local authorities since the crimes were committed in Washington proper by civilians - not on Navy property...plus the UCMJ isn't involved unless a sailor commits the crime....so, it's hard to get into it when I know the basic premise of the show is incorrect.
If Washington authorities had asked NCIS for help, then the show might have some relationship to real life.
Sorry.

No, its subliminal conditioning of the masses!
Now they've brought Article 4 of the Geneva Convention into play - incorrectly....Article 4 covers treatment of prisoners of war not noncombatants (indoctrination of a public that does not know what the Geneva Convention is about & it is unconsciously trying to gain compassion for terrorists from viewers, giving them status they do not have is what they're doing)....as I recall (& I haven't read the Geneva Convention in a few years), the Geneva Convention doesn't apply non-combatants.

Commercial said in the Fall there's gonna be a <span style="font-style: italic">NCIS Los Angeles</span>....but there's no NCIS office in LA - it's in San Diego.
Just the old Army Inspector General in me.....sorry
