This is why House faked his death and hit the road with Wilson.

The show impliesForeman realized House faked his death, whereas everyone else thinks he is dead.

Between his fame and talents, House could perhaps have gotten his license back and resumed his practice.

House is a medical mystery drama in which the villain is typically a difficult-to-diagnose medical malady. It follows Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a world-renowned disabled diagnostician with a notorious substance abuse issue. With his team of world-class doctors, House has built a reputation as one of the most brilliant doctors in the world - an especially impressive feat when taking into account that he rarely actually sees his patients.

If a reboot ever happens, it should avoid doing something like that.

House couldnt care about running tests or researching a patients medical history anyway.

This could be a fun twist onHouses formula.

This would work especially great for a limited series or something with fewer episodes thanHouseused to have.

However, House choosing to live doesnt mean he would want to keep practicing medicine.

House mentored a lot of characters throughout the show and had a strange aptitude to teach.
