Well, one could argue, and I don't necessarily agree, that House's obsessive-ness actually hinders patient care, because a well-rested House who takes care of himself might be more clear-headed and able to diagnose patients. I think the show has tried to display that this is NOT the case, but I do think it is a valid argument. In terms of House being selfish in his personal life, I think his interactions with Cuddy, "Joy" especially, are when he is at his most selfish. YMMV, and again, I am biased by kind of hating that pairing.
I'm actually getting tired of the lack of development on this show. Plus, I have re-lapsed in my Grey's Anatomy addiction (*fills with self-loathing*) and there are only so many hours in the week. I think that after this season, I may not be able to watch episodes as they air next year, and I'm not sure I want to. *is confused*

House's interactions with Cuddy, IMHO, alway s show him at his most selfish. It's clear that he is used to being indulged by Cuddy and anyone taking up so much as a tiny bit of her attention puts him into a frenzy of need. (I used to think that Huddy was a good pairing, but now I really pretty much despise it.) I think he is the same way with Wilson for the most part.

I can understand that completely. For the entire first half of this season I was totally disappointed in the way the show was going. I thought it was focused too much on things that were outside the original premise of the show and that the characters were either completely missing (Wilson) or they were being developed very poorly (Cuddy) or they had changed too much since the first few seasons (Wilson, Foreman). To this day, they've done nothing to develop Kutner's character, and a lot of people find him the most likeable of the new ducklings. I thought it was becoming "13, MD" and it was getting way too soapy for me. However, as disappointed as I was in the first half of the year, I wouldn't dream of not watching. I still love the show, I love Hugh, and even if the plots totally sucked I'd watch it for him. And I also think that whatever damage the writers did in the first half of the season has been reversed in the last half (so far). IMHO the show has been so good lately that TPTB have redeemed themselves.
There are a lot of people that are losing interest, though, and though I don't feel the same way, I can certainly understand it. I'm hoping the last few episodes will help to change that.
