In the tv show House, Dr. Gregory house is somewhat of a genius in the field of diagnostics. Whatever seems unsolvable, he can figure it out. However, as expected, he has a flaw; he is hooked on vicodin. The hospital administrator/ his on again, off again love intrest Dr. Cuddy worries about him. Because of his rude behaviour towards everybody, she is one of the two people who can be considered as his friend.
Although she tries to set boundaries, it never works because House is never concerned for anyone else's feelings but his own. She is also aware that he is hooked on vicodin but she can't really act upon it because she has feelings for him,he is a great doctor and he just happens to be a functioning drug addict. Her approach to dealing with his addiction is a mix between "blindness" and the "eyes open" approach because she often tries to get him to stop but she also ignores it sometimes and lets him continue practicing medicine. I think she made the wrong decision by not being tough on him, she in a way enabled him because maybe if she was tougher then he would had tried to change sooner rather than later.
