Spending a month of rotation in Hematology under him, I noticed several things:
He wears sport shoes to work.
He rides a motorbike to work.
He is cynical, and sarcastic. Yea, this is how he sees the world.
He loves metaphor, which goes well with his sarcastic comments. He has no reservation when it comes to criticizing something. I find it hard sometimes to understand his metaphors.
He likes to dish out some Spanish words/phrases during rounds, again, quite often when it is used to demean someone. Among all, I have managed to pick up one very useful spanish word - cojones - something all the men have (well, not all actually).
He is pretty funny. Well sometimes he is too funny that we don't get the joke.
He likes to impersonate. And yea, he's pretty spot on when it comes to impersonation. Would have ROFL-ed if not for the formality during rounds, dang!
His general knowledge is wide. From the small talk during rounds, I can tell.
He can come out with differential diagnoses that will never cross your mind -CMV colitis, ? conversion disorder, critical illness polyneuropathy. No, those thing doesn't only happen in drama series. It does happen in real life too.
He is single too.
He doesn't abuse Vicodin (not that I know of), he doesn't use a walking stick, and he doesn't treat without evidence. Apart from these 3 characteristics, I would say he pretty much resemble a TV icon - Dr House.
It has been a blast working with you, Dr House XD
