Real doctors such as the fictional doctor House do not study rare diseases they diagnose disease that may have multiple causes so they can be correctly treated. They are called diagnosticians.

How do you be a doctor like house MD like what do you have to study to be like house MD what does house study and what house studies is it real can u actually be like him and are the rare diseasestrue?

He runs a group of diagnosticians, is an ID (infectious disease specialist), and is a nephrologist. He's a doctor along with any other specialist, except he chooses to do away with social norms most professionals work hard to uphold, and that's what makes him seem so different. He is just another doctor, though. (He's a genius one, albeit.) A lot of the diseases are true, but they're embellished a lot to build up the drama. P.S. He made me sure I wanna be a doctor. ;)

How do you be a doctor in rare infectious disease or is it called just infectious disease if you want to study rare diseases what is it called when you want to study rare diseases like house MD?

Dr. House is a fictional charactor...there is no doctor that just does rare diseases, nor is there a hospital that gets as many of these "rare" cases as does the hospital on the show...if there was, these diseases wouldn't be rare. Dr. House is for the most part...a pathologist...these doctors look run tests and study xrays, symptoms and lab results to diagnose diseases. Much of their time is spent in a lab under a microscope...and have limited patient contact. They do not treat patients, as he does in the show...if it is something serious, they refer the patient to specialists. They also do not perform surgery...as he does in the show. Dr. House is a fictional character that is a combination of about 100 different types of doctors...if you are looking for a position that will allow you to do what House does, it does not exist...and if it did, it would take about 30-40 years of medical school...and by then no hospital would be able to afford you...but the closest thing to it would be pathologist...if you want to diagnose diseases and aid in the development of treatments and cures...while at the same time pulling in about 300-350k a year...that's where ya go
