I, too, would love to see it dealt with in a slash story. There's real possibility for dark waters explored. That said, would it consist of sexual abuse? Absolutely not. House and Wilson care for each other. They have trust between them. Just because Wilson acts a prescribing physician (which, given the Tritter arc, does not mean he has control whatsoever) in no way would their interactions actually connotate abuse. How could one refute this, given the level of love displayed between them?
But it is not immaterial. Abuse is define by the fact that there is mental damage. If no mental damage exists, therefore abuse does not exist. Simply because there is an ethical code being violated (which House does all the time as far as the hypocratic oath goes, might I add) does not mean there is real dubious ethical implications. Those codes exist to free up grey area during lawsuits. In the true reality of the situation, they are almost inapplicable.
