Reply to comment by Morael in In House M. D. there is an episode in which the doc asked the lady who was concerned about weight gain. Doc asked her to raise their hand and by seeing that he was able to determine she was pregnant. Do arms and pregnancy have some correlation? by Abhinav_Mani

Yes, but do those other methods of diagnosis allow House to look like a magician who pulls diagnoses from thin air?

Both in universe and for the show it makes sense for House to go with the most dramatic option because a large part of his personality is wanting people to see him as a genius.
