Well, maybe I should tell you the rest of the episode so that you understand why I will never watch House again.
Do you know why this guy needed his memory removed? Because he was in love with a co-worker who was engaged to his brother, which caused him to have a heart attack every time she entered the room. I won't even comment on the medical part, but the only solution House can come up with is a memorectomy. You see, if the guy's memory is wiped out, he won't remember he's in love with the girl, and everything will be peachy.
And what is the guy's reaction? Throw the damn electrodes at House's face and storm out to request a transfer to another unit, or move to another town, or just elope with the girl, right? Well no! He just says: "Uh, OK Doc, whatever you think best". I must say that if real firefighters have the intellect of this guy (yeah, he's a firefighter), it's a miracle houses don't burn to the ground before they find which end of the water hose to connect.
I don't have a problem with non-realistic situations, if they're done well and with humor. But, although there is humor in House, I got the distinct feeling I was supposed to take this whole "medical" situation seriously. Maybe it's just because my father used to be a surgeon, but that was a wee bit too much for me, I'm afraid. And as for humor, Scrubs was much better at that in my opinion.
But wait, that's not all! After the guy's memory has been surgically removed (brilliant procedure, Dr House! Oh no, not at all, just doing my job, you know), it turns out the whole thing was a hallucination, and the girl was NOT engaged to his brother after all!
To which news he reacts by saying "Uh, what am I gonna do now, doctor?". And the doctor (not House, the woman, don't know her name) replies with a bright smile: "Oh, that's all right, you just have to start over!". End of episode, cut to the credits.
I rest my case.
