Probably. Think about it - Sharia laws are based on the Koran and Sunnah. They believe those are the undisputed word of their Allah. This is why they do not think that they need to be changed.This makes me feel a bit better, you just have to figure out which MD took or follows which ideals!!
The Oath of a Muslim Physician
Written by Islamic Medical Association of North America
Praise be to Allah (God), the Teacher, the Unique, Majesty of the heavens, the Exalted, the Glorious, Glory be to Him, the Eternal Being Who created the Universe and all the creatures within, and the only Being Who contained the infinity and the eternity. We serve no other god besides Thee and regard idolatry as an abominable injustice.
Give us the strength to be truthful, honest, modest, merciful and objective.
Give us the fortitude to admit our mistakes, to amend our ways and to forgive the wrongs of others.
Give us the wisdom to comfort and counsel all towards peace and harmony.
Give us the understanding that ours is a profession sacred that deals with your most precious gifts of life and intellect.
Therefore, make us worthy of this favoured station with honor, dignity and piety so that we may devote our lives in serving mankind, poor or rich, literate or illiterate, Muslim or non-Muslim, black or white with patience and tolerance with virtue and reverence, with knowledge and vigilance, with Thy love in our hearts and compassion for Thy servants, Thy most precious creation.
Hereby we take this oath in Thy name, the Creator of all the Heavens and the earth and follow Thy counsel as Thou has revealed to Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
“Whoever killeth a human being, not in liew of another human being nor because of mischief on earth, it is as if he hath killed all mankind. And if he saveth a human life, he hath saved the life of all mankind.” (Qur’an V/35)
Does sharia law trump this oath?
Here are some more to compare:

It probably depends on the Doctor and how fundamental he/she is, and how fundamental the place where they work is.
The number of Doctors per person is much lower than in the West. If there are a lot of people to see, who do you think would be preferred? In countries where human rights are not an issue, but according to their Allah’s laws where dhimmi are considered dirt and only Muslims are considered human beings or brothers and sisters to them. Some countries do not even allow the women to be seen by Doctors if they are men and where women Doctors are nowhere to be found because the girls cannot go to school.
I go back to the statement, that it probably depends on the person and they place where they work if there is any problem with them caring for non-Muslims. And with the growing fundamentalism and persecution against Jews and Christians in their lands, and ours, I doubt if I would trust that oath.
