Brian,
I've been working in various parts of the software industry for 20 years now. I like my field, I like reading and thinking about it, I like watching new paradigms and approaches for dealing with the issues and failures it has.
I don't see anything particularly different in your discussion of medical programming from what I've read and experienced about programming in any even mildly specialized arena. Actually, what arena isn't specialized in some way? The domain expert with even moderate programming knowledge always has an edge in producing genuine solutions -- they aren't secure, aren't complete, don't scale, are fragile, rigid, brittle, etc. But what they can do for the user, they can't get any other way. I've seen that to be true in every environment.
Agile programming, for one thing, evolved to deal with the things you're talking about. So did code reviews. Bad management is way easier than good, it's just more expensive in the long run.
