House: Um, Cuddy? Better You Than Us, Thanks.
This week on House, we were treated to a day in the life of Cuddy. Nightmarish. Why anyone would invite that sort of stress is mystifying.
We learned that Cuddy is not a woman one can cross. That she really is tough as nails. She does not budge, and calling her itchy names does not shake her resolve.
We would hate her job, but we admire her for doing it so well, even in the face of Serious Consequences. Cuddy's got character, in spades. Pun seriously not intended, really.
More Cuddy after the jump!
Finding out one of her prize employees has been supplying a meth lab for 6 years, realizing she'll be unemployed if the insurance company doesn't come back to the table to renegotiate, being unable to get real time status on her sick daughter, and dealing with House's shenanigans is quite a heavy load to carry.
No wonder she told the guy with no financial means that she'd take his house if necessary so that the hospital can be compensated for reattaching his thumb. For the record, we'd take the thumb, Mr. Poor Judgement.
Good for her for tearing up his check though, once her day started to look up. She does have a heart. Even though she didn't give the guy in the clinic a script for the breast milk to combat his cancer that he was requesting.
She'd have made a good attorney, that's for sure. Homegirl does not give quarter. We just might respect her a smidge more now, just like her staff should.
