In the pilot episode of House, House portrays himself as someone who doesn't really have a lot of morals. He pretends as if he doesn't care about the patients and really just acts as if he doesn't like doing his job. He comes off as cold and elusive. He wants people to believe he doesn't have very many morals because that would crumble the front he puts up for everyone.
I believe deep down that House has morals, however he just puts on a front and puts up a wall to seem like he is tough and doesn't care. He seems to portray himself this way to almost hide his insecurities about his own life. He has problems of his own to overcome in his life which may have an influence on his morals.
House also takes risks in the pilot episode. He misdiagnosed and treated, and did this a few times until finally he was right. Sure in the end he was right and fixed the problem, but is it morally right to experiment with a patient's life? His job should not be about trial and error and that is what he was doing. He displays that it is okay to take bad risks and in my opinion it isn't. Playing with someone's life to me is not morally just and right. His demonstration of this provides a negative model to the viewer.
