Has the television show “House, M.D.” had any influence on how real-life diagnosticians do their jobs?

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Idly H. Bird asked:

I’ve often heard it said that fictional television shows that depict a profession (such as “CSI” or “24″) have the effect of influencing how real people in that profession do their jobs. I was wondering if “House” had the same effect on how real-life diagnosticians diagnose patients and administer cures. Are they more manipulative and distrustful when dealing with patients? Or are the cases in “House” so unlikely to occur in real life that most diagnosticians are unaffected by the show?

Thanks for your insights!

Why does my ear pop whenever I lay on the other one when I watch television?

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Janelle L asked:

Whenever I watch television and I’m laying on my couch on my side, the ear facing up makes sounds like pounding in my ear. It hurts after a while and it has been going on for maybe a few months. Do you know what might cause this?

When I watch television or movies I begin to feel emotions from the characters or movies?

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

cas050789 asked:

I know this sounds a little weird, but for example, I was watching a movie that was filmed really different and unusual and it made me feel very awkward during the whole thing. It made me uncomfortable to watch it because the characters had an awkward way of communicating. Also I was watching a television show where someone was acting out and it made me really angry and affected my mood after I was finished watching the show? I know it sounds silly but could this be an affect of anxiety? Or anything else?

What is that crinkly, piercing sound I hear when someone turns on a television?

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Aubrey T asked:

Even if I can’t see it, I know when a television set has been turned on anywhere in the house ‘coz I can hear — or sense — really high-pitched, crinkly sounds. Does anyone else experience the same thing? What is that “sound” I hear?
