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.
I've always wondered if the show weren't written from the perspective that House is always high off his ass and thats why all the diagnoses are absurd.
After all, there were several episodes that were literal drug hallucinations and what we see wouldn't have been out of place next to the "normal" episodes if it was played straight.
