Huh.
** Age-inappropriate conversations are the ''least'' of House Squick-factors, rating perhaps a "1" on the House-scale (which, naturally, GoesToEleven-- with EyeScream being a "5" at worst). Given the regular appearance of things that would gross out a police coroner, they're included for the obvious reason of presenting a gross-out factor to the audience; while the apparent pretense is "realism," this is contradicted by the fact that doctors are ''used'' to it.

* YouFailBiologyForever: [[strike: Almost]] every case involves an absurd diagnosis which is either medically impossible, or is a spurious misinterpretation of an actual real-life case such that [[StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Dr. McCoy]] would be astonished. Not surprisingly, the weekly diagnosis is explained in such fast-and-loose medical TechnoBabble terms (completely backed up with real-time "Fantastic Voyage" CGI-effects) [[DeusExMachina at the last minute]], as to make it sound either unintelligible to anyone who's not a doctor, while likewise using metaphors sufficiently ''vague'' to sound possible someone who is.

* RomanticPlotTumor: House and Cuddy. Every episode in season seven focuses on their relationship. We get it, it's huge, but three episodes have been about how she's mad because he lied to her (hard to imagine he would stoop to such a level), now can we get back to the medical mysteries and the duckies being adorable and the House-Wilson banter/friendship (instead of Wilson being reduced to [[ShipperOnDeck House and Cuddy's cheerleader]])?
