House Sherlock Homes?

So was watching house tonight, and I've read and read about how House is the Sherlock Homes of medicine... but I'm not so sure, because I haven't read Sir Arther Doyle as of late, but I don't remember Sherlock bumbling around so much to find his answers, he either KNEW the answer, for sure. Or he suspected, and just kept quit until he KNEW. Not House, house come up with something that fits, and attacks if full force like it's the only possibility, until, after about an hour, he finally gets it right....

Homes didn't do that, even when lives WERE on the line...

But of course medicine doesn't a crime mystery make, except of course sometimes when it does. So I think the comparison of House/Homes is a poor one, even if the creators had that in mind themselves.....

So I truly wonder if maybe, just maybe, House is something more original, by chance since the design was otherwise..... He's really more Einstein then Homes really, but still doesn't fit....

I think we truly have something here...... something that grew accidently out of something else....
