If you see Dr. House, what will be the outcome?
You will most likely live, but you will hear a severe diagnosis.
13% of House's patients are dead. 38% are fully cured. But most of them - 49% - were either chronically ill (Crohn's disease, lupus, etc.) or had a hard fight for recovery (cancer, amputation of limbs, heart or liver transplant).
Has House treated children?
Yes, he did. 17.0% of patients in season 1-3 were young children.
However, from season 4 onwards, the youngest children practically disappeared from the series. They became less than 2%.
Did gender, skin color, marital status or sexual orientation influence the final diagnosis?
Not influenced. According to statistics, House had men and women, black and white, gay and straight, free and married, all dying in exactly the same way.
So what influenced the diagnosis?
The diagnosis was influenced by the patient's weight and age. The fuller and older the person, the worse the diagnosis was.
