Does your personal doctor work where you work?

I'm about to choose a family doctor in a new town where I'll be attending nursing school. Is there any reason why I should choose a doctor who doesn't work in one of the hospitals where I also hope to be working in a few years? There's not actually anything in my medical history that I think would negatively affect me professionally, but keeping personal and private separate seems a prudent rule. Perhaps I'm being overly cautious.

I choose my doctor after we already worked together. I picked him because he is probably the smartest man I know, and goes to great lengths for his patients. I have never had an issue with it in the work place. If I am sick while at work and he is working, he will listen to my lungs ect and write me a script. Dont know how legal that is, but whatever....works for us. If he feels I need blood work or anything, he will send me on my break, so it has its perks.
