It's because the show wasn't about the medicine or solving the case, it was about what it cost to be House.

Yeah, but considering it's supposed to be Sherlock Holmes as a doctor, shouldn't it at least be a little bit about solving the case?

Before anyone questions it being a Holmes show, since that seems to have gone over so many people's heads:

House = Home (Holmes)

Both of their colleagues are named Watson

Both use deduction to solve mysterious cases (medical vs criminal) that no one else can crack.

Both live at 221B Baker Street

Both have drug issues

Both play musical instruments in order to think things through

House is shot by a man named Jack Moriarty (Moriarty is frequently presented as a nemesis of Holmes)
