HE A LTH • Fall 2019 15 time spent coming up with a solution and a plan, and not always just stopping because the answer can't be found," she said. Hadley clearly doesn't resemble House in all respects. She's a hugger, not a grump, though she said a bit of sarcasm sometimes helps her connect with patients. And, like Aidlen, she doesn't have the same personal prob- lems as her fictional doppelganger, whose Vicodin addiction was a con- stant source of conf lict in the TV series. "I have no addiction, except for my patients, which is a problem sometimes for my family," Hadley said. Still, Hadley, who often works with pregnant women with serious heart dis- ease, does have to help her patients through moral dilemmas and heart- breaking choices worthy of any hospital drama. And she said she encounters her fair share of medical mysteries as well. "It does happen," she said. "It's not as often as once a week on "House," but no, absolutely, I have a few patients where I'm sure they've got some auto- immune disease that we just don't have a name for yet." Hadley said another way she resem- bles House – and many of the other fic- tional doctors audiences love to watch – is the joy she gets from the excitement and difficulty of practicing medicine. "I love medicine, and I think House is a great example of that," she said. "I absolutely love what I do, and I think it does show."
