This isn't even true. Even at the most basic legacy megacorp companies, you still have engineers. I did an internship at P&G doing just that, of course it was boring as fuck but those jobs definitely exist
Never mind the fact that an engineering PHD is one of the few doctoral grees that actually has real world use cases beyond becoming a professor or postdoc

1. Masochism + med is a postgrad degree here
2. Harder as in more shit to think through AND memorize. Engineering was easy in comparison, it's just applied math. Otoh, studying medicine well requires you to then apply engineering concepts to physiology AND memorize a bunch of stuff that just is true AND apply that to the myriad presentations that come in through the door extremely quickly before the patient is seriously hurt or dies
