One emergency room physician gives his take:
In general, MD’s tend to be high maintenance patients – however, when they work at the same hospital as I do, there are definite advantages. Mainly, they are usually VERY nice to you after you treat them or ESPECIALLY their children. They tend not to subsequently yell at you when you call them for an admission at night. Some of the sub-specialists seem almost surprised that we lowly ER docs actually know something.
