Helicopter Mom Thinks All Her Son's Doctors are Wrong | House M.D. | MD TV

“Then why did you test him” I swear chase would have made a better lawyer than a doctor.

I refuse any treatment House recommends until the last 10 minutes of the show. This is no helicopter mom, she’s just seen the first few episodes

There are actually parents who actually would rather have their kids die rather than admit to being wrong or giving up control.

Yes a mom would know her child as a child, but 98% moms don’t know Jack about their teens…

"I'm going to bring my kid to the hospital, but I'm not going to let them treat him." Brilliant strategy, mom.

For anyone wondering how this turned out -- that phone call was from one of the other doctors pretending to be the CDC. The shot worked, the kid recovered, and then the mother got the REAL call from the CDC and somewhat berated House & co for the fakery but was ultimately happy that they saved her son.

"actually they sent a doctor" I absolutely love that line

Moms with their "always knowing the best" attitude...

As a person who does customer service, it's very hard to not give up on stupid people like this. It's incredibly hard. It's like trying to save a person from drowning who's also trying to drown you. =(

"I didn't want him to know about it because I do trust him". "Then why did you test him?"... LOL Epic line!!

At times all medicine is is "best guess" and House shows that perfectly.

“You’re wrong” says the woman without a medical degree, talking to someone, with a medical degree Edit: i don’t even remember writing this, thanks for the 2.8 thousand likes though. The most i’ve ever had on a comment, gahdamn

“I trust him.” “Then why did you test him?” 🦗🦗🦗

House is so straightforward im 100% here for it. Cant say he throws shade because its so direct. Lol 😂

Man, what a great actress of portraying a mom who won't admit she's wrong even if it means her son is dying

“You’re just as pompous and superior as him.” Pot meet kettle.

Everything can kill you. It doesn’t stop us from breathing. The more you refuse doctors out of parental stubbornness the longer your kid suffers and dies. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, all that matters is time is always running out

I'm a doctor. There are some times when a parent knows more about their child than a doctor does, but this almost always only applies to kids with chronic disease, not an undiagnosed ailment. For example I have a patient with a certain genetic syndrome and the mom has done all kinds of research on it for YEARS. She knows more about that particular condition than I do. That being said, if her son got a different ailment that does not pertain to his genetic syndrome, she would be lost and have no idea how to proceed.

I like how when house grabs the chair to “hang out” he just stares at her angrily and it looks like a parent scolding a child for their mistakes

The sad reality it isn't about her son, its her own pride. Some parents see their kids as an extension of themselves, if they fail or succeed it reflects on them. She'd rather she her son die and blame the doctors than believe anything negative because it'll make her look bad.
