What Season 1 of House

House is a brilliant, misanthropic doctor who heads the diagnostics department at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital in New Jersey. His team of young diagnosticians, made up of Chase, Cameron and Foreman, helps him solve cases no other doctor can understand. House distrusts rules and often clashes with his colleagues and with Dean of Medicine Lisa Cuddy. His only friend is Wilson, the oncologist who convinces him to take cases. Every patient is hiding a secret, and uncovering the right lie leads to the diagnosis. The season kicks off with teacher Rebecca Adler collapsing in the middle of her classroom.
