House is a maverick medical genius (often quoted as "medicine's most brilliant mind") who heads a team of young diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He has been called a "misanthrope" and a "curmudgeon" - in fact, "curmudgeon" was named one of the top television words of the year in honor of the character.
Dr. Cox routinely rants at and belittles J.D., though his apparently rough treatment of J.D. is intended as conditioning for the rigours and horrors of hospital life, as well as an outlet for Cox's frustration in his life. It is hinted that he is secretly proud of J.D. and thinks he has the potential to become a great doctor.
