Background
Nurse Jeffrey, played by Patrick Price, is one of the few male nurses at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, the primary location for House. He has been featured in the sixth season episode "Ignorance Is Bliss", where the character is subjected to taunts by House about the fact that he is a nurse (a job often associated with women).
Plot
The appisodes take the form of a video blog with Jeffrey speaking to camera about his plans to bring down Dr. Gregory House (played by Hugh Laurie in the original series). In his "Bitch Log", Jeffrey tracks down members of staff at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital who he believes have information about illicit activities House may have been involved in.
Most of the characters featured in the show are minor characters in House, however Lisa Edelstein appears as Lisa Cuddy in the final appisode.[2]
