My dad was a country doctor - literally could do it all - deliver babies, take out your gallbladder or appendix, you name it, but my siblings and I used to joke that to get medical attention in our house you had to have an open arterial bleeder and it had to be above the neck.
My older brother loves to tell the story of when he was in college, he called home and told my dad he had the worst belly pain of his life. Dad told him to drive on home, when he got there he had him lie down at the foot of the bed and the next morning they went to he hospital and he took his appendix out.
We poked fun about that with each other, but truth is we never had trouble getting seen quickly when we needed attention, either by my Dad, one of his partners or colleagues if need be.
My wife (no pics, also a physician) and I have treated our kids for minor stuff - more her than me when they were younger as she is a pedi - and of course its always been easy to get them in to see doctors outside either of our specialties when needed which has been nice.
