Yes doctors see doctors as well. They try not to diagnose themselves although they know enough about the human body to do so. And no, I don't think they can prescribe themselves medicine although they may take the free samples they receive in order to avoid a doctor visit.
I think they have to see another doctor. I am almost positive that they can't prescribe themselves medication or drugs.

As far as I now they can't prescribe themselves
A doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient. In other words, no. They would see another physician. My daughter-in-law is a doctor and she won't prescribe for her husband, my son, but don't know if she can prescribe for herself. She could prescribe for him, but will not.
