Sometimes a doctor does something so bad that the resulting malpractice suit ends his career. It's rare, though. Most complaints against doctors are not career-ending.

That is the status quo. Both in the case of doctors and police officers, egregiously unprofessional conduct can end your career, while most complaints do not end your career. The tweet purports to rely on a fundamental difference in standards that does not exist in the real world.

In both cases of Doctors and Cops the profession, the union etc do everything in their power to protect their own, cops don't testify against cops and doctors don't testify against doctors unless its such an egregious breach that the combination of horror and damage to the profession force them to sacrifice one of their own.
