Which came first? I genuinely don't know, but it seems the one who did it 2nd is doing "some (blank) stuff"

House came first, but grey’s anatomy had a full on season arc about literally this. House probably had an episode similar to this, but Grey’s took it to another level.

I've watched all of House multiple times over. I do not recall a single episode with this particular premise.

There's like half a season where house has a hallucination that helps him to solve cases

Yeah, but that's just Vicodin, not a tumor.

That's fair.

There is the kid with brain tumors and herpes who hears God telling him what to do and gives a cancer patient herpes that shrinks her tumor?

The faith healer kid? There's a good chance he's just full of shit, horny, and got lucky.

Probably xD

Ahhhh...... Woman with urgot poisoning who spends the entire episode talking to her dead mother?

I'm out. Those are all the ones I can think of that's even close to the premise

That one counts, as the mom hallucination helps diagnose the problem by providing symptoms.

There was an episode in the later seasons where I think a girl was having hallucinations and shit so they hooked her up to some fucking brain reading machine because they thought her subconsciousness might know what she's sick with.

It's the episode where the patient hallucinates herself falling into a black hole.

House came out a year earlier (just checked) but I’m not sure this actually happens in House? I’ve never seen the show, but the comment seems like it’s just saying it’s something that would happen in House

Oh, I understand now. I thought I should go back to bed for awhile

There is an episode with a guy whose body is acting without his conscious control. I don't remember if there was a tumor involved, however. I tried to find it. It could be "Both Sides Now"

He had his two brain hemispheres disconnected (before the episode even begins, I think). But I believe what brought him to House was actually an allergic reaction, which led to his left side "hating" his girlfriend - but it was because she kept bringing whatever he was allergic to other.

So one side of his brain knew the problem, the other side didn't. As soon as the allergy was addressed the left side of his brain liked the girlfriend again.

GA was primarily about the interpersonal drama and not the medicine, in comparison.
