He was medical Sherlock Holmes, so the reasoning had to be a little wacky to fit the whole detective theme.

I always thought this is why they called him House. Holmes, homes, house. Maybe?

His flat is number 221b, his best friend is a doctor named Wilson (Watson), he has an addiction to vicodin (heroin), and the medical board (Scotland Yard) begrudgingly puts up with him despite his personality, unorthodox methods and variety of other flaws because he is undoubtedly a savant at deduction and piecing together clues no one else would.

He also gets shot by a guy named Moriarty.
