There most certainly is a ´drill´ in many medical settings nowadays.
Google ´medical protocol´ and you´ll see what I mean.

Standardized diagnosing, standardized treatment; it´s all here and causes many medical veterans to decry cookbook medicine.

Checklists are a good thing, but just like in the cockpit, it takes training, experience and intrinsic airmanship/doctorhood to know when it is imperative to deviate from the SOP.
