Wilson is wonderful and he'd definitely be perfect in this, but I haven't a clue how to write him. Somehow he's just a bit out of my grasp. (Possibly the same features that keep House interested are the ones that make him tricky to write, for me at least.)
Plus, it would need to be written by someone with a decent amount of medical knowledge, or at least the willingness to research it, because it would be awesome to see Methos and House arguing and Methos having all of these thoroughly out-of-date ideas and House sneering at that even as he's confused by evidence of a really peculiar education from a clearly brilliant man.
And Methos would find House a wonderful person to bounce his ideas off of since House would be willing to expound upon the errors and give him pointers to the updated information without all the simple steps that he doesn't need and that most educators would consider necessary. Plus, as careful as he is to hide who he is, he'd probably still find it funny to taunt House with various inconsistencies, and see if the brilliant diagnostician ever comes anywhere near the truth. If anyone would randomly manage to guess "immortal", it would be House.
Although other immortals probably haven't come his way, much. After all, they don't get diseases and House doesn't do trauma medicine, so it's unlikely he's ever been surprised by a reviving corpse.
Adding a new immortal might be fun, though. Someone does revive in front of him, miraculously better. So then House has to be his ass-self in order to keep a healthy guy (or Cuddy, as the case may be) confined to the hospital and still running tests. The only symptom now is the intermittent migraine that comes and goes, coincidentally whenever Methos is in the area. Heh. What does that do for your differential diagnosis, Dr. House?
