Do staff of medical offices also become or stay as patients of that office?

Just curious if you are an employee of a doctors office do you also have that doctor or another provider in that office examine you or do you go elsewhere to avoid embarrassment?

I'm not a medical professional, but those I've known separate their own health care from their work environment. They don't see anyone in the practice for which they work but have doctors in other practices.

Not quite your exact question but I was a practicing physician for 30 years and never had one of my staff as a patient.

In smaller communities I’d suspect it’s very common that many staff members get medical care from the doctors and nurses they work with. Not a lot of options. Even the doctors see their peers for medical care.

I did see several of my colleagues to provide care, and I, in turn, went to them.

When I worked in a hospital I almost always had care elsewhere but on a few occasions was seen the ER where I worked, but since I wasn't working in the ER it was not that bad.

Like the lawyer who defends himself , he has a fool for a client .

A relative of mine started to work for their family doctor part-time after having kids. After a few years they had to switch provider so there could be no question of a conflict of interest in the event that they needed to be 'signed off' as too sick to work.

The rest of the family remained patients of the practice.
