You are keeping a living being in a state between life and death chemically while they are undergoing massive trauma.
Why can't this be automated?
Its almost exactly analogous to being an airline pilot, everything easy enough to automate was automated multiple human generations ago, now the primary purpose of the human is judgment calls, emergencies, monitoring, what boils down to non-computer systems administration using hopefully sterile biochemical machinery rather than CPUs and disks, equipment failures ...

It's not just hard work to become a doctor. It's hard work and sustained excellence. You don't just put in the hours, you have consume an enormous amount of information and are tested on it constantly through the education process. You have to take on enormous personal risk financially in loans. You very frequently have to make large personal sacrifice in your life to get to the point of board certification.
Some get paid great, most get paid well, but if you know more than a few doctors you would probably be less glib. /me not a doctor.
