Wasn't it a teaching school? Implied that it was cheaper or even somewhat affordable?

But yeah I think he was the villain of the show, in some fashion. His own worst enemy, at the very least

I kind of thought of him as a high-functioning psychopath with some autistic tendencies. He does not really care about the consequences of his actions, and derives his meaning in life from doing a good job only. If that includes helping people, nice, if not, oh well.

IIRC the clinic was free, but "teaching hospital" just means it's affiliated with a university med school. My local university hospital is definitely not cheap.

If you look at what he did to everyone who surrounded him, made Chase a paraplegic, bullied Wilson and Cuddy unrelentlessly, drove a car through Cuddy's living room, made Foreman a lesser doctor than he was destined to be, was part of the reason cutthroat bitch dies, not forgetting the misdiagnosis and the general attitude, yeah... He was the villain of the show

made Chase a paraplegic

Can you elaborate on this one?

This is what Wikipedia says as a plot summary, which doesn't really support your interpretation:

As Chase attempts to biopsy the patient's rash, the patient suffers another psychotic episode and stabs Chase with a scalpel, lacerating his heart. Chase survives surgery but is left paralyzed. House concludes that the paralysis is caused by a blood clot. Chase regains feeling when surgery is performed to remove the clot that is pressing on his spine, but he faces extensive physical therapy.
