The House example is horrible. In the show rarely does house diagnose an illness thorough intellectual debugging. In most episodes House sits around and insults his team while they run tests and about 5 minutes from the end he out of nowhere has an epiphany (while talking to Wilson most of the time) which often has little to do with what tests the team ran and he solves the case.

OK, maybe in Season 7, but in Season 1?
Yes, absolutely.

If you like House (for the medical mystery aspect rather than the snark), you may also like Berton Roueche's writing. _The Medical Detectives_ is a pretty good collection.
