it's abduction he uses, not deduction.

This is correct

He doesn't start with a set of potential conclusions and knock them down one by one as he gathers evidence - no, he instead jumps from one extreme thread of intrigue to another, never quite abandoning an idea even if the evidence points otherwise. The universe then apparently conspires to prove him right on credence alone

Less so

So you're telling me that he's actually a reality warper instead of a genius doctor?

Same way as Holmes is high fantasy to real detectives, what's your point?

It's a TV show, if it wasn't fictional it would be incredibly boring.

Yeah, it's obviously not logical or grounded in reality, but it is at least somewhat consistent within the show universe.

I think during the story line, where Cuddy negotiates with the hospital network insurance provider for a new contract, she makes the argument, that their hospial sort of provides a halo effect. Basically the hospital and probably House in particular (but maybe also others like Wilson) are some of the best in their fields, which obviously is great for marketing purposes, if you can say that you have one/the best and well known hospital in your network.

Edit since I thought of another aspect:

Iit regularly comes up that the team writes case reports. So maybe there is also an aspect where they frequently publish in prestigious journals. Especially since it is a teaching hospital adjacent to a university that might also be an important metric. Similar to insurance providers, the university itself might have an interest in having a reputation for excellence.

it's a fake drama without any basis in reality.

There's a hospital near me that openly advertises that it has penthouse suites at the top that feel like swanky apartments. I've never asked about their cost.

Wasn’t there also a multi season arc where they made House teach a class and take on interns so that they had other “reasons” to keep his department

enduring

I read this as endearing.

Yeah definitely 😂

I meant specifically a constantly-committing-crimes problem. Every couple of episodes they're whipping out their lockpicks because they want to be inside some place 😂
