<p>If someone were to want to become a diagnostician, would they specialize in internal medicine?</p>
<p>They would have to join a television show. It's a fictional specialty.</p>
<p>This thread gave me a much needed laugh.</p>
<p>For me the closest thing would be internal medicine. However, you wont be doing abdominal surgery, neurosurgery/neurological, and interventional cardiology stuff that you see on that show. You would consult to others on that stuff. In IM you are mostly worried about medical management. From easier conditions such as hypertension and diabetes to more complex comorbidities in the elderly.</p>
<p>An easy solution would be to specialize in everything (including all medical and surgical subspecialties), and that way you could do everything they do on the show. Except breaking into peoples' houses. That's illegal. Besides, you'd be like 85 by the time you were done with all your training, and in no shape to break into and enter patients' homes.</p>
<p>Oh, guys, haha, I know you can't be an actual diagnostician. I was just wondering which specialties the people on the show held to have a career like that.</p>
<p>Such a career does not exist. It is fictional.</p>
<p>All of the specialties are on the Wikipedia page:
House</a> (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>But like BDM said, that kind of career does not exist.</p>
<p>Haha, I know. Don't worry, I haven't been living my life in hopes of becoming the next House. Thanks for the list :)</p>
<p>House - Infectious Disease
Cameron - Immunology
Foreman - Neurology
Chase - Intensive Care... I think</p>
<p>And Wilson is an oncologist if you haven`t been paying attention at all. :)</p>
<p>"I want to become a diagnostician when I grow up."
Heehee that sounds funny :D
House (the character AND the show) rocks.</p>
