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"
