    1. In a 2024 interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner David Shore explained why lupus was so popular with the “House” writing staff: “We were looking for diseases that could be serious but could manifest in a lot of different ways. And unfortunately for many — for us, it was fortunate — lupus was the perfect disease for us! It was a disease that manifested in a lot of ways, and so it could be the wrong diagnosis many times. And so we just kind of embraced that and ran with that.”

      Actually House kept saying “it’s never Lupus!” everytime one if his team members brought it up.

      If House is supposed to be Sherlock Holmes, does that make Lupus Professor Moriarty?
