There is no difference. An Emergency Room Doctor is an MD. MD stands for Medical Doctor.
As to a kidney doctor, like any doctor, the difference between MD and DO is what the titles stand for. A DO is a Doctor of Obstetrics, and an MD is simply a Medical Doctor.
MD just means Medical Doctor. It is the title on their medical school diploma (it is the same as lawyer having JD after their name). The doc with FACS after their name is Board Certified and has "jumped through the hoops" to become a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (it is an extra profession certification and orgazination).
FACS means the specialty is surgical.

Academic qualifications go after the name, so "Dr. John Smith, M.D., FACS". The "MD" stands for "Medical Doctor", as opposed to an academic degree in some other field. Many physicians have taken additional specialized training for their fields. So something like "FACS" stands for "Fellow, American College of Surgeons" for a specialist in surgery.
An MD is a higher degree. to practice medicine, a PA typically needs to work under the supervision and license of an MD.
