What makes Sherlock Holmes unique?
This is of course, is an opinion question, and answers will vary, but this is mine: During Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's life, he enjoyed a very high level of popularity for his stories about Holmes, even in countries other than England. At that time, his great success would have been due to Conan Doyle's excellent writing abilities, Holmes' great abilities of deduction that could be used to solve any crime, and the fact that common and poor people of England and especially London could look to Holmes for inspiration, and as a national symbol of pride. But Conan Doyle wrote these stories over a century ago. Why are they still so popular today? Holmes became an icon, his analysis of Watson and other people's habits and activities seemed to them, baffling, but to him it was "Elementary." His deerstalker cap, pipe, overcoat, and magnifying glass came to symbolize detectives and their art through Sherlock Holmes' early popularity. And simply put, people enjoy a good story, especially a mystery. "In our modern time of fast living, modern conveniences, and computerised crime and detection, Sherlock Holmes represents the spirit of an earlier, simpler and more romantic period. Perhaps, as Watson was to him, Holmes is to us "the one fixed point in a changing age." [1] [1] Clive Hopwood? Sherlock Holmes Illustrated copyright 1981 by World International Publishing Limited.

How can house MD help and why is it useful?
House MD is a fictional doctor on a television show who almost always uses extremely dangerous and controversial medical techniques. He should not be looked to or learned from for actual medical advice. However, the method that House uses to diagnose the patient is known as "deduction" and is a useful skill for anyone to know. It is nearly impossible to master, however, and was first popularized by the Sherlock Holmes stories in the 19th century. House MD is, in fact, based partially on Sherlock Holmes (albeit in a medical setting) and the show includes many references to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's series.
