Medicine is a very special example. Because medical doctors (at least in theory) deal with matters of life and death daily in the most literal sense, simple degree is not sufficient and doctors run 2-3 years of practical experience before they are accepted as a "doctor".
This is right to the point.
Because medicine has such a direct impact on someone's life and death, and not just a few bucks in the pocket, medical doctors are subject to stricter training standards. If the girl in the center of the article never bothered to convert her qualification to the American standards through potenatially years of expensive training, it's her own fault.
Would you be comnfortable with a French lawyer representing you in American court of law? The person may have spectacular academic record, but French "civil law" is so much diffrent from American "common law" that any French qualifications are purely academic and practically irrelevant.
Same goes for doctors...

I would be worried about hiring someone who worked in a trade in a different country because of the vastly different standards applied here in the US vs. the rest of the world.
