Varies by location: A telemetry unit most frequently would have patients taken care of by cardiologists, internists, or family medicine doctors. The nurses on a cardiac unit should be acls (advanced cardiac life support) certified. If you physically move floors in a hospital, your doctor should remain the same. An exception may be a transfer to an intentive care unit- may have different doctors while you are there.

Telemetry: Telemetry is referred to cardiac monitoring at a distance. Your doc may follow you still even on telemetry unit. Cardiac unit nurses will staff such a unit. Doctors will be different - those whose patients stay on the unit.
