I am an ob/gyn physician who has accepted a job offer at Medical City Hospital. My start date would probably be in June, 2013. Where is the best place to live considering I may be called for deliveries to the hospital at any time at night or during the day. My husband and I would like a furnished place, maybe an apartment or a villa.

Wafi Residences  have both furnished and unfurnished apartments.  These apartments are literally around the corner from the hospital.  If you were looking at villa living then the nearest area would be The Villa however you would not generally find furnished villas.  Other convenient areas to Health Care City include DIFC, Jumeirah 1 and Silicon Oasis but it is all dependent on your rental allowance.  Lower rents for apartments will be able to be found in the Oud Metha and Bur Dubai areas however Bur Dubai is subject to traffic congestion which may not be ideal if you are rushing for deliveries.
