House Calls

We enjoy watching the show "House". Its cantankerous title character goes to extraordinary lengths to insult and alienate everyone he encounters. The current story line has him running afoul of a police officer who is set on making House as miserable as possible. His abuse of power has even extended to freezing the accounts of House's colleagues and subordinates. This is where the show has gone too far.

These are doctors. They're well-educated and presumably well-paid. There's no way they would allow a rogue cop to treat them this way. Their lawyers would be all over the cop, the police department, and even the city if their clients were being abused this way.

My tip to the writers, resolve this line as soon as possible. My suspension of belief can only go so far.
