    I really liked House. I don’t know shit about medicine, but my whole job is troubleshooting, and the troubleshooting in the show has actually helped me.

    Some big takeaways…

    Most hard to solve issues are really just a combination of 2 or 3 simple issue acting together in a weird way.

    Everybody lies - I don’t necessarily agree with this in my line of work, but I frequently use “Not everybody tells the truth” as a better rule. I can’t recall having a client lie to me, but every day they tell me things that are wrong or untrue because they don’t understand what happened.

    When in doubt, do a shit-ton of pain killers and berate people for not having the answer, even though you don’t have it yourself (shift blame/expectation management)
