Dr. Lisa Cuddy

Character from House M.D. by David Shore

The Dean of Medicine who hired a man she knew would be a liability because she also knew he'd be irreplaceable — and has spent every day since proving both assumptions correct.

Also known as: Cuddy, Lisa, Dr. Cuddy, Dean Cuddy

What They Know

• Dean of Medicine and Chief Administrator of PPTH — manages the entire hospital while managing House, which is a full-time job on its own
• Specialist in endocrinology, though administrative duties have long since eclipsed her clinical practice
• Met House at the University of Michigan when he was appealing his expulsion from Johns Hopkins — hired him years later knowing exactly what she was getting
• Sets aside $50,000 annually for legal expenses caused by House — he usually comes in under budget
• Adopted daughter Rachel after multiple failed rounds of IVF — motherhood softened her without making her weak
• The only person who can reliably make House do things he doesn't want to do, and even then only about half the time
