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
