Anyways. Y'all keep forgetting that Cuddy hired and repeatedly refused to fire malpractice Georg entirely on purpose. In order to keep her hospital on the map. In order to secure better funding and more research opportunities. She lies under oath, she threatens employees, (not just House!) she fucking. Schemes. She’s nuts! She sees a complete disaster of a guy who cannot be trusted to care for himself much less vulnerable patients, who absolutely no one else will hire, and she goes. Yeah I think I can keep him under control. I think I can harness that for my benefit. And she mostly succeeds!!! House, who’s never met an authority figure he didn’t hate. She keeps him complacent with regular doses of petty arguments so he thinks he’s fighting the man, but literally he is exactly where she wants him most of the time. Yeah House might be a feral animal, but that makes Cuddy the kind of person who keeps wild animals as pets. She’s like oh yeah this is my pet tiger. When he’s feeling grumpy I distract him with raw steak that I throw across the room. He thinks it’s a game. Sometimes he tries to bite me lol.
I don’t even go here, but by referring to House as “malpractice Georg” OP has opened my eyes to a whole new realm of pithy insult possibilities.
*Malpractice Greg
And she only lost control because she thought it was a good idea to break up with her reliable boyfriend to start having sex with said tiger.
