For most people it's hard to remember that a doctor has problems too; from financial issues to health ones. But when a doctor must be treated by another doctor, is it smart to tell that you are a physician?

width=290>Sometimes we forget that doctors are just like everyday people. They 
have families, they are members of parent/teacher organizations (PTOs), they 
help their children with school projects and homework, and they, in many cases, 
are still repaying school loans. You name it, and yes, the doctor has probably 
experienced it. So too is the case with sickness. Doctors do get ill, and are 
seen in the local office, emergency room, and hospitals.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/97536F3E-FCD3-441A-8877-23402F7B5481/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
