Most would prefer Dr. House.
According to a survey, the acid-tongued master diagnostician of Fox’s television series (via Dr. RW) was the preference of 20 percent of respondents. The good-manned Dr. Welby was second at 13 percent.
Ironically, the 95 percent of the same respondents said bedside manner was the most important trait they looked for in a doctor, something Dr. House is definitely not known for.
