Who is Robert Chase in House, M.D.?

The intensivist with the famous father · Diagnostics

Robert Chase (The intensivist with the famous father) is a character in House, M.D., part of Diagnostics. Dr Robert Chase, Australian intensivist, was hired on a phone call from his famous rheumatologist father — a fact House deploys whenever Chase's confidence needs puncturing. The team's smoothest operator learned early to read powerful, capricious men (a drunk mother, an absent father, a seminary detour), which makes him both House's best surgical instinct and his most pliable fellow. Chase's career-long question is whether agreeing with House is diagnosis or reflex — and what it costs him the day the answer matters.
