Do doctors treat themselves?

Pretty much only to the extent that you do, meaning they'll take a Tylenol for a headache or a cold tablet for a runny nose. I don't know if it's illegal for a Dr to write their own prescription, but I've never seen one do it, nor would I trust them if they did. Dr's generally won't perscribe for immediate family members either.

Generally no, they don't. Although there are plenty of cases of doctors and nurses abusing drugs.

What?

I once asked a son of a doctor, who told me that his mum goes to another doctor when she’s ill.

depends what treatment they need. Heart surgery would be a challenge

No, they are the worst patients.
