  • Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
    Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital Ignorance is BlissThanksgiving at PPTH The hospital lobby, decorated for the holidays "Omnes te moriturum amant" ―Hospital motto Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (or PPTH) is the fictitious teaching hospital where House is set. It is located in Princeton, New Jersey on Prospect Street (as seen on Chase's GPS when he rushes to the hospital in After Hours) The hospital presumably is located near the neighboring township of Plainsboro. Princeton University's Frist Campus Center is used in the aerial screen shots. It was apparently based on a hospital near where series co-creator Bryan Singer grew up. Organization PPTH appears to be a non-profit entity, essentially run as a charity with no shareholders. It is a teaching hospital, which means it is affiliated with a university medical school (although it has never been revealed which one, and Princeton University has no medical school) and is responsible for training medical students, interns, residents and fellows. The hospital's highest authority is the Board of Directors, which is primarily made up of department heads, together with important donors. Generally, the Chairman of the Board is one of the donors rather than one of the doctors. The current chairman of the board is Sanford Wells, the owner of a large corporation. The board generally does not involve itself in the day-to-day running of the hospital. Its chief duty appears to be to approve the hiring of chief administrative officers and approving contracts for major expenses, such as those with the hospital's insurers. The Board also determines which doctors are entitled to tenure in the hospital's role as a medical educator.

D. yaitu Dr. Gregory House, Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman dan Dr. Chi Park. Sebagaimana drama medis tidak hanya memaparkan dunia medis kepada penonton, namun juga membentuk persepsi publik mengenai bagaimana para praktisi kesehatan dan sistem pelayanan kesehatan bekerja, artikel ini berupaya untuk menunjukkan bagaimana diskriminasi-diskriminasi rasial muncul pada otoritas dan keahlian biomedis para praktisi kesehatan. Melalui analisis tekstual, artikel ini berargumen bahwa drama ini tidak hanya mendekonstruksi dan memperkuat citra stereotipikal dari orang-orang Afrika-Amerika dan Asia, namun juga merepresentasikan supremasi kulit putih di Amerika Serikat.<hr><i>This article analyses the portrayals of three different ethnicities through the leading characters, which are Dr. Gregory House, Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman and Dr. Chi Park, in the medical drama House, M.D. As medical drama not only exposes the world of medicine to the audiences but also shapes public perceptions about how the physicians and health care system work, this article attempts to show how racial discriminations occur among the physicians? biomedical authority and expertise. Through textual analysis, this article argues that the show not only deconstructs and reinforces the widely-accepted, stereotypical images of African- Americans and Asians but also represents white supremacy in the United States.</i>.
