نائب
This term is translated simply as
نائب
... which is the used Arabic term for "attending." The word "physician" is omitted as it becomes redundant. But if you "must," you can say:
طبيب نائب
Good luck :)

طبيب اسـتشاري
The expression "attending physician" is very confusing to many people for two reasons:
1. It has two dieffent meanings; and
2. It is peculiarly American.
You can look at the explanation given in Answers.com:
http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?sm1=QWNjZXNzOiBFbmdsaXNo...
Hers is an elaboration of the explanation given by Answers.com. The term has two meanings:
1. If it is a title, as in this case, then an attending physician is one who has "completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, often focusing on the specialty learned during residency. An attending physician can also supervise residents and medical students.
Legally, attending physicians have final responsibility for patient care, even when many of the minute-to-minute decisions are being made by subordinates (nurse practitioners, physician assistants, resident physicians, and medical students)." (from Answers.com).
In England, this is called a "consltant." This is where the Arabic term اسـتشاري comes from.
2. The term "attending physician" can also be used in a different way -- not as a title denoting rank, but as a term denoting "the formal relationship of a hospitalized patient and their primary doctor, as opposed to ancillary physicians assisting the primary doctor" (from Answers.com). Ironically, in the US, these ancillary doctors are called "consultants."

الطبيب المسئول أو المتابع للحالة
رغم ما في ترجمة الطبيب النوبتجي من جمال إلا أنها لا تواءم أياً من التعريفات الخمسة التي وجدتها للمصطلح والتي تؤكد جميعها علي أن متقلد هذا المصطلح هو الطبيب الذي توكل له المسئولية العامة عن المريض ويقوم بالإشراف علي علاجه، بما يجعل ترجمة المصطلح لا تخرج عن الطبيب المسئول أو المتابع للحالة:
وإليكم كل التعريفات المتاحة
The doctor who is primarily responsible for a patient's care.
www.cheshire-med.com/programs/kingsbur/terms.html
The physician responsible for the admitting and directing of care and services provided to a patient while in an acute, skilled or rehabilitation facility.
www.vpaweb.com/About/glossary/default.asp
The physician who is primarily responsible for the care of the patient. This is often a neurosurgeon immediately following the trauma.
www.finr.com/glossary1.html
means the doctor who is responsible for the patient's hospital treatment or who is charged with the patient's overall care and who is responsible for directing the treatment program. A consulting physician is not the Attending Physician. A physician employed by the hospital is not ordinarily the Attending Physician.
www.phs.org/healthplan/members/glossary.shtml
The physician who has primary responsibility for the treatment and care of the patient. He or she usually is, but need not be, the primary care physician. Where more than physician is performing services at the same time, the primary care physician will usually be considered to have such responsibility.
www.setnlegalservices.org/glossary.htm
The doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine with primary responsibility for the care provided to a patient in a hospital or other health care facility.

كما أن الطبيب المناوب أو النوبتجي يسمي on-duty physician or night-shift physician
أما الطبيب الاستشاري فيسمي consulting physician
A physician who is a specialist in a medical field other than that of the attending physician. Consulting physicians may be called in by the attending physician to provide opinions on various aspects of care.
وواضح تماماً من التعريف أن الطيب الاستشاري يختلف عن الطيب المسئول أو المتابع

Also, take notice again of this definition about the attending physician (in its relation to the consulting physician)
Attending Physician: means the doctor who is responsible for the patient's hospital treatment or who is charged with the patient's overall care and who is responsible for directing the treatment program. A consulting physician is not the Attending Physician. A physician employed by the hospital is not ordinarily the Attending Physician.

However, I feel that there is a difference between a consulting physician and a consultant physician, but I have no more time to search.

طبيب معالج
I prefered not to use مستشار in this context in order not to conflict with the translation of "consultant" which is found in the same text.
Thanks Fuad
