You are every bit as qualified as a surgeon
Not really. I think that is a bit of a long shot. Given that it takes 10ish years to be a surgeon and that only a very small percentile of the population even qualify to go to med school, let alone become a surgeon, I don't think pilot training really compares. More so now that everyone has cadets who are FO's when our future doctor is only ending second year at uni.
However pilots have more responsibility and surgeons could learn alot from flying in terms of procedures and CRM.
