    nah not a villain because he actually finds out what’s wrong with the patients and fixes it. Even if the methods are torture, as someone suffering from chronic illness where I haven’t yet found a doctor who gives a shit to actually find out what it is, I’d gladly almost die if it meant I’d start feeling better. Usually I just get pushed out the door ASAP with some pills.

          I read it as: the medical system being worse than house says more about the system than it does about house.

            Their statement finishes with, "… it does not speak well of him."

            That is specifically calling House worse than reality, so…

              If we’re doing a detailed breakdown of their statement, that statement says that it doesn’t say anything good, not that it says anything bad.
              I assumed they were a non-native English speaker who bungled “not good is opposite good, or bad” and instead had “not good is absence of good, or neutral”.

              Maybe they thought they said it doesn’t speak well of the actual doctor, forgetting the fact that they said “the system” rather than “your doctor” in the preceding part of the comment. I do stuff like that all the time and then when rereading I call myself a dumbass and fix it. Shit happens.
