And the guy is just like "Uh, sir, you can't sign off on your own prescription" and House snaps "He's the prescribing doctor" and Wilson just signs it without looking and continues to argue with him Too real

I kinda checked out when Cuddy nearly destroyed her professional career by lying under oath on the witness stand that House wasn't using. I'm also still annoyed that the Holmes knockoff took a downer like Vicodin when canon Holmes mostly took uppers.

This is actually a big deal, there's one story where Watson is alarmed to find Holmes dressed up as an opium fiend in order to infiltrate an opium den and Holmes reassures him it's just a disguise

Because, as you say, it's the wrong kind of drug, it's the kind that badly interferes with your ability to function as a detective at all (much like becoming an alcoholic would)

Holmes is not a drug addict. Holmes is an adrenaline addict. He specifically uses cocaine to self-medicate when he does not have a case. I'm not saying he wouldn't develop a dependency, but he's using uppers. The modern equivalent would be Holmes as a meth-head.

He specifically and continually seeks stimulation, not relief from stimulation, which is what a downer (Vicodin, alcoholism) user is typically seeking. It just bugs me that people register the drug use and completely misread his motive for doing so.

Which IMHO is a problem in general with fictional portrayals of addiction, because addiction doesn't always follow the expected recipe, and we really only have specific sympathy for the user who is self medicating trauma.

Well yeah, House is a very different character from Holmes, and the de novo characteristic of House that he's constantly seeking relief from pain (both literal physical pain and the psychological pain of existence) is what makes him so different

The fake deep thing about their little pun The difference between a "house" and a "home" is whether you feel comfortable staying there
