There's no testing whatever, random or otherwise, for surgeons, doctors or medical staff -even if they made an error resulting in a patient death.
A drunk surgeon might kill a patient. But a drunk pilot might kill hundreds of passengers in a single mass casualty incident. Hence there are special rules for transportation industry professionals and others in similar positions.
