It should be noted that many physicians in the English-speaking world are not employees of the hospitals (or similar institutions) in which they work. The terminology that is appropriate for employees may not be appropriate for them.

I wouldn't say, "I quit my hospital?" I would say 'I quit my job', 'I'm leaving my job'. To be more descriptive I would say, 'I quit my job at the hospital' or 'I quit my hospital job'. Leaving could replace quit in these examples as well.
To me saying "knock off" sounds like one is leaving for the day. I'll knock off for the night.
