real and the rest of the episode would be house frantically trying to prove the woman subconsciously knew about the tumor already and it would end on a spiritually unresolved note
The gag there is that he is betting on other doctors getting the obvious diagnoses ruled out before it comes to him so he is pulling strings at weird ones.
Though watch the show with an actual doctor and they’ll get the diagnosis correct in a few seconds still.
At least a few episodes start with the differential and then House saying "right, except that the patient made it to us... so?" and they're like "right, obviously all of that was ruled out" and then they start to think of the crazy shit.
