What's the difference between these practitioners?

what is the difference between a general practitioner and a private practitioner

Answer #1

general practitioner vs. specialist

  [ the family doctor vs. an endocrinologist]

private practitioner vs. hospital staff member

 [your own outside family doctor or endocrinologist who visits you at the hospital during your stay     vs.     a resident doctor ]
Answer #2

Well, I think that the major difference is that the private one is able to work independently. They do not HAVE to be a part of a managed health organization.
