Hmm. I wanted to be clever and obscure with this, but I haven't watched the show since somewhere during season five. I don't remember details well enough anymore to do anything other than the obvious, I'm afraid.
House is a Time Lord. His TARDIS has gone missing and he hates humans about as much as the Doctor loves them, so he's completely miserable and angry. He also hates being bored, hence the diagnostician gig. He'd regenerate, but then he'd have to start all over establishing another identity.
Cuddy is a Doll. Rossum is somehow under the impression that House can be made useful for them one of these days, so they're keeping him where they can see him. Cuddy is programmed to make sure he stays there, which is the real reason why she never fires his ass.
