Who is Eric Foreman in House, M.D.?

The neurologist who fears becoming the boss · Diagnostics

Eric Foreman (The neurologist who fears becoming the boss) is a character in House, M.D., part of Diagnostics. Dr Eric Foreman came up hard — a juvenile record he outran into a neurology specialty — and was hired by House partly for exactly that history, a fact he resents with cause. The team's most level head and most ambitious member, Foreman's arc is a long argument with a mirror: every decisive, arrogant, House-like instinct that makes him good is one he swore not to inherit. He leaves, gets others' versions of the job, and keeps returning to the only department that fits the doctor he actually is.
