That’s what makes the show awesome. I want it even more ludicrous.

A lot of the cases are... loosely... based on real medical discoveries and treatments. You just pack them all under the arm of one guy to make him some kind of Doctor Genius God.

I'm glad they didn't go full on X-Files with it or inject a bunch of quackery. The show was at its strongest when it was incredible without being unbelievable.

I'm just kidding, I already knew about the House/Holmes connection because I'm terminally online.
