You should have stopped writing after the above sentence, because once anyone reads that, they're pretty much done with your argument. It's quite obvious that you have absolutely no idea about the medical profession in general, and more specifically, doctors.
And judging from your quote below:

If we had our own professional body, we could regulate the type of person who enters the profession, and have a professional disciplinary body.
It's plain to see that you have no idea how the piloting profession works either. However, that said, I do agree with you in that..... no, wait. There's nothing you said that I can agree with. Each paragraph you wrote, with the exception of your last, is really quite flawed, both in your "facts" as well as your logic.
