"I would think a neurosurgeon should know a thing or two about biology."

Biology is a big field. To quote Egnor himself...

Doctors don’t study evolution. Doctors never study it in medical school, and they never use evolutionary biology in their practice. There are no courses in medical school on evolution. There are no ‘professors of evolution’ in medical schools. There are no departments of evolutionary biology in medical schools.

Now to be honest there are many doctors who do study and use evolutionary biology, but clearly Dr. Egnor admits to having no such background himself.

Whaddaya know. You can actually have a productive career in a science-based field like medicine without finding evolution useful. But...but...surely this can't be. Fanatical devotees of evolution have told us repeatedly, right here on FR, that teaching of evolution, even at the middle school level, is absolutely necessary, because it is "basic science," "absolutely fundamental," and we will sink into technological backwardness if we don't.
