So we need mileage charts that show professions and Hartz IV status instead of booking classes.
I honestly hope, you will never need medical help on a longhaul flight!
Maybe then there will be a physician on board, who can an will provide this (maybe lifesaving) help to you, come back to you from his seat in F or C (that he bought to catch some sleep) to spend his time and his professional skill with your problem, without billing you?!
And you really envy this guy for lousy 35.000 extra miles??? 
And you really compare this with other professions or even Hartz IV transfer receivers??!!
What is wrong with you guys. Do you think a medical doctor on board is your private slave, who has to do all this, just because he or she has this profession?
The only "social injustice" issue that I can see here, is that people like you and others in this thread obviously have a "take for free as can" mentality concerning medical assistance.
As far as Lufthansa is concerned, the "gift" of 5.000 miles helps them to identify physicians in case of an emergency very fast. It saves them a hell lot of money (up to 20.000 $), if they
must not have an extra unplanned (medical emergency) touch down, due to the work of this passenger-doctor.
Compared to what they save here, 35.000 miles is real peanuts.
And sorry, there is no other profession, who can provide this (sometimes lifesaving) skill and therefore has earned any mileage or compensation!!!!
