How close were Fallschirmjaeger doctors to combat in World War 2?

This depends on your definition of 'doctor.' Field medics, be it Red Cross or corp men, fought and jumped into battle along side the troops. Actual doctors were back in set up hospitals behind the lines.
Answer
According to information available, The Fallschirmjaeger used medics much in the same manner the US Paratroopers did. They jumped into combat along side the troops, but were armed as well. So to directly answer your question, they were with in shouting distance from the troops. Further, there is no apparent information that would lead us to believe that the medics were actually "doctors" per say, but that they were truly medics. I have included a link below to another WikiAnswers question that addresses what the Fallschirmjaeger medic carried into battle in the "related links"

What is a knightley contest?
A Joust was one form of "Knightly contest", bidding two mounted knights against each other, striking the other knight was the simple intention, but breaking your lance on them with the force was better, and actually unhorsing them was better still. This showed the knight's competency at mounted combat. The other most common form of "Knightly contest" was the Melée, where the term used to describe armed close combat comes from. Although knights did not usually kill each other in these mass fights, they would use their close combat skills to grapple/throw/disarm/takedown the other knights in order to capture them and frequently ransom them in order to profit from the ransom. One key disadvantage in such armoured combat was that a knocked down opponent was a sitting duck in heavy armour, which was why medieval manuscripts show a lot of unarmed/close-armed combat but yet never featured any "ground work" like seen in modern MMA.
