You're expecting a doctor to have all relevant medical knowledge permanently memorized? That's the equivalent of coding interviews on random obscure topics where you can't look anything up.

Like a SWE their value is not perfect recall of every area of CS/medicine but ability to decipher arcane documentation into actionable outcomes.

IIRC my relatives who got medical degrees all commented on just how much memorization is involved.
