He has his moments. Castro did look amazing with a cigar and was amazing at training doctors. It's why what would otherwise be a relatively unimportant island regularly embarrasses the healthcare system of the wealthiest nation in history.

{Insert your comment about Castroite Cuba's healthcare achievements}

And this is all said by Greg House by the titular medical drama T.V show "House M.D"?

It is, in the episode where two Cubans come to find Dr. House because the wife has a condition her doctors can't figure out. Turns out it's a genetic mutation that causes her to have the wrong number of aortas or something unprecedented like that.

Edit: Tried to find the clip on YouTube but apparently they don't like it when a TV "genius" compliments Castro. Who knew?

Episode Human Error

House: [takes off his cap and puts it on a model of a brain] If there's one thing Castro knows is how to look great in green. [he gives pointed looks in Foreman's direction but the duckling has his back to the rest of the room and doesn't seem to see] And if there are two things Castro knows is how to look great in green and train doctors. Even without the medical records we can assume she was drowned in antibiotics before she risked drowning to see me.

Cameron: So what doesn't Castro know?

House: How to lay his hands on high-tech scanning equipment. [points to the list of symptoms on the board] Pain, double vision, point us towards the head. Cameron get an MRI, see what's cooking in the old cabeza. [she goes out to do as asked] Chase, check out the husband.

I find it very funny that a mere month after this, Michael Moore's Sicko came out in theaters featuring a finale where he brings a bunch of Americans to Cuba to get medical care including scans they couldn't get approved in the US

In all fairness that movie was a huge revelation to the portion of Americans that saw it. It's doubtful the writers were aware of how advanced Cuban medicine was since Americans are so propagandized.
