Hospital vs. private practice (experienced medical practitioners only, please).?

what advantages does each side have over the other when working in a hospital (career advancement, malpractice, patient load, teaching residents)?

to be more specific, how would the situation be different for an anesthesiologist?

Again, like the person's answer above, this is a very vague question.
Hospitals will sometimes have more options for you when it comes to diagnosing, special tests, surgeries, etc. and private practices are usually smaller. However, since hospitals usually have a greater patients to clinicians ratio the clinicians usually do not have enough time to concentrate on the needs and possible illnesses of the patient. Private practice usually have more time (not always though) to work more on each patient but usually they're bills are higher.
When teaching residents, private practices are better places for residents and other student clinicians to learn the tools of the trade because they have more time with each patient.
As for malpractice, its a mixed bag.
Career advancement, you usually get more money with private practice but it's usually harder to manage whereas the hospital would help take care crossing the T's and dotting the I's.
