        <description><![CDATA[Dr. Farmer as a medical anthropologist and social reformer decided to take it upon himself to DEMONSTRATE how to treat populations of sick people who are so poor or so destitute that they fall through the cracks of social fairness and equality and become forgotten.  His love for the dwellers of Peru and the HIV stricken poor communities, specifically the Haitian community has led him to go directly to policymakers to change he rules of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[According to the creator of the show,David Shore, the character of House was not even in the original idea for the drama. Shore has stated that "the show was sold as a crime/police procedural, but instead of bad guys, the germs were the suspects. So it was more of a CSI kind of idea." It was only after the show was sold to the networks that the character of House originated because, says Shore, "This is going to get very dry because germs...]]></description>
