The older the doctor the more experience they have, but also their knowledge is more outdated (how many keep up with medical journals?) and their brain is worse at learning and connecting dots so I'm not sure I'd choose the oldest I could find.

The human body is the same as it was before your doctor was born.

Medicine however is not the same. Nor is our understanding of the human body.

For example, a 60 yo doctor would have been born before the first heart transplant, the recipient lasted 18 days. Now 5000 are performed each year and after 5 years 80% of recipients are alive.

The Earth was mostly the same in the 1300's. Let's use material from that time to do engineering.
