Dr. Cuddy is the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. She often has to handle Dr. House' outlandish requests, and is usually left to deal with the consequences of his erratic behavior. She also has to force him to complete his required weekly duty at the out-patient clinic. Her position often requires her to make extremely difficult moral and ethical decisions regarding patient care (particularly in situations where Dr. House insists that highly dangerous and often illegal procedures are a patient's only chance at survival). There is a degree of sexual tension inherent in her relationship with Dr. House. While it may have been implied that the two have had a sexual relationship. This however stays between the two of them and no one else knows. Little is known about Dr. Cuddy's personal history. she treated House when he suffered the infarction in his leg. She is presumably Jewish (as is Dr. Wilson): a menorah can be seen on her desk, and House has wisecracked about her using JDate. While all doctors have a medical specialty, Dr. Cuddy's has never been discussed. She attended the University of Michigan around the same time as Dr. House. She was an undergraduate there and she described him as "already a legend". During a conversation with Stacy Warner she mentioned wanting to be a doctor since she was 12, graduating medical school at age 25 and being second in her class, and becoming the first woman and second youngest chief of medicine ever at age 32.
