EQ
Hello!! Wonder what I’m gonna write about today? Wilson it’s about to resign on House and dr. House don’t know how to handle this because he is not in touch with his emotions which is remarkable for such an assertive man.
I suppose he got a very low EQ.
EQ is the emotional intelligence which I read on the cover of a magazine 1997 that it’s more important than your IQ (only having read the cover I don’t know exactly why that is but I’ve held it as true because I have a very high EQ (I *think*, again, I read only the cover)) so its conveniently aligned with my world view.
On the other hand, if dr. House had high EQ and low IQ, then he wouldn’t diagnose all these patients and people would die, and that’s what the show is about, sort of. (It’s also about YOLO)
But anyhow the moral of this episode (s05e01) is that you need at least a smidgeon of empathy to function in a group setting or else the whole thing shatters. And by thing I mean not only the group but Houses very foundation. We do all need to be loved.
If it were up to me, I probably would fire dr. House for being an asshole because I think they are enabling his bad behaviour by putting up with his bad attitude.
But that wouldn’t have made for a very long TV show, it’d be a show about a group of reasonably competent doctors who care about each other.
Nobody works probably watch such a show.
