Docteur House...the french counterpart

Who knew that his addiction to Vicodin would have him running for the hills and driving a repair and maintenance van on the Riviera?!
God help the punters who require his services...the call out charge alone will be astronomical...what with him having to take so long to find the diagnosis let alone the bloody problem.
Everyone will start popping Vicodin by the time he's finished.
Hopefully a game of "boules" and some Pastis will have him forget what ails him....
