I have worked in many physician offices and some were great and some were not. When they're bad they're really bad. The stress can be tough if you are working with them one-on-one with their schedule, their phone calls, their billing, etc. things are a little different now than they were years ago as many physicians are in a managed care setting vs being in a solo practice, so a lot of the details are handled by others..such as billing, nurses handle most calls, appt's are done via computer. I had been yelled at many times over things not in my control such as a patient being late, a patient's phone call, etc. IMHO things seem better than that now. The salaries are pretty low too so that can probably create a turnover. Also, a bad office manager can be te reason and not necessarily the physician.
