I can't address this secific situation, because I don't have any experience with TV's hospital. But VERY few doctors where I lived before actually took care of their patients when they were in the hospital. The care in the hospital was provided by a "Hospitalist" in the area of care that the patients needed, ie: pulmonologist, or intensive care, or surgical, etc..... The primary doctors would certainly speak with the doctors and fill them in on your history, and would periodically make some hospital visits, but the doctors in the hospital were in charge of your care while in the hospital. When you were discharged, your primary doctor would resume your care.
