Plus they couldn't risk letting some random stranger who claimed to be a doctor near the victim because, er, it's against public policy or it risks further aggravating the victim's already serious injuries, blah blah blah.

Good Samaritan laws cover this. Unless they have reason to doubt the person volunteering was not in fact a physician or not trained, they have no legal liability. Nor does the person trying to assist unless they, in fact are not a physician or otherwise trained. That could work out badly for them if they do aggravate the injuries. I know of no case law, though.
