House is not real, it falls under "arguing from fictional evidence"; House's patients are written by a writing team to have obscure and surprising - yet easy to fix - ailments. They are generally young with acute short term symptoms leading to a race against time and a boolean toggle outcome healed/dead. They are rarely the 70+ year old ICU inhabitant with age related complications who is mentioned in the blog post with long periods of 'boring' illness to keep track of and treatment rotating between many doctors.

House gets to choose his patients, he pre-rejects any that he doesn't want to deal with or has no ideas about, or no interest in. Real world doctors can't do that. House gets to do basically any test for any cost without having to justify it or argue with insurance, scheduling, resource constraints, practicality or side effects. If he needs an MRI, it's available, if he needs his team to spend all night tonight on blood tests in the lab, they can do that and the lab is there and they have no consequences tomorrow of having no sleep.

House has plot immunity, the worst that happens to any hospital employees as a consequence of his behaviour is the loss of a lot of potential money, or some paperwork or audit. The show never focuses on the life of the patient who has to be on dialysis forever because of House's risky intervention before he knew what was really wrong. House blackmails and barters with and sleeps with the hospital administration to get away with things no real doctor could do.

House and Wilson are named as a play on Holmes and Watson, and the original Sherlock Holmes books were notable because Holmes walked the reader through deducing interesting conclusions by looking at evidence anyone present could see but with a fresh viewpoint, things like the height of scratches on a wall. Recent Sherlock TV shows and films, he's written to magically know things that nobody could know, by means the viewer isn't shown and can't participate in, and presents them as amazing accomplishments to wow the viewer. House is the latter, in an episode I saw recently (Series five, episode 1) he is absent all episode with the usual array of organ failures and suspected pregnancy and suspected cancer, then in the last five minutes he walks in, stabs the patient in the leg, declares she has leprosy because she looked youthful, and walks out. And of course she has leprosy. It's not even good storytelling, it's a background thread for House and Wilson's interpersonal problems and his assistant's own terminal disease diagnosis.

Or to put it another way, you read a blog post about heoric troubleshooting of some tech problem and it's good reading. That's self-selected from someone who had an interesting problem and the time and skills to diagnose it and the luck of it coming to an interesting conclusion. Most troubleshooting is not that, it's mostly the basics over and over, or it's above your skill level or outside your skills, or it might not be but you can't spend time on it, or it comes to a boring conclusion like "we never got to the bottom of it before the system was decommissioned".

In Series 3, Dr Foreman goes to be head diagnostician at another hospital, pulls a House move of risk taking treatment, saves the patient, and gets fired. The dean of medicine tells him the procedures work for 95% of cases, and everyone needs to follow them in all cases because everyone thinks their hunch is in the 5%. It works for House because that's the show.
