Background

Nurse Jeffrey, played by Patrick Price, is one of the few male nurses at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, the primary location of House. He had been featured in the sixth-season episode "Ignorance Is Bliss", where he is subjected to taunts by Dr. Gregory House about the fact that he is a male in a profession dominated by women in the US.

Plot

The episodes take the form of a video blog with Jeffrey speaking to the camera about his plan to bring about the demise of Dr. House. In his "Bitch Tape", Jeffrey locates members of staff at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital whom he believes have information about illicit activities in which Dr. House may have been involved. Most of the characters featured in the show are minor characters in House, however Lisa Edelstein appears as Lisa Cuddy in the final episode.[2]

gollark: Can't.
gollark: RPNCalcV4 is kind of in the osmarkscalculator™ spirit, but more of a programming language/expression evaluator thing.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ is basically my really overengineered/underengineered CAS/calculator, and should be feared.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ advances inevitably. Today I expanded the predicate system, so you can write horrific patterns like `1#Or[2, 3]` to specify that something must be 1, 2 or 3.
