| | Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy | Gender: Female | | Occupation: Endocrinologist | | * First appeared on November 16, 2004 in the episode Pilot. |
Administration: Dean of Medicine, endocrinologist. Though commonly seen as a thorn in Dr. House's side, Dr. Cuddy is an ally and frequently acquiesces to House's often outlandish medical requests. Additionally, Dr. Cuddy has the distinction of being one of the few characters on the show (Dr. Wilson being the other) who can match wits with the fast-talking Dr. House in conversation (and arguments) and be considered one of his "friends". She usually gets left to pick up the pieces of House's questionable medical practices. She is also one of the few people who can stand House's rude manner, strange requests, and his many obnoxious (sometimes nosy) habits. Although she frequently criticises House's methods, she does trust his decisions to be in the best interest of his patients. Over the course of the show, it is seen that she is one of the only people who would hire House at all, due to widespread disapproval of House's results-oriented methods and constant insubordination. |
