Well, if you look at the definition of 'practice' then it's not unnerving at all
1) To do or perform habitually or customarily; make a habit of:
2) To work at, especially as a profession
3) To do or perform (something) repeatedly in order to acquire or polish a skill
Now, I assume your issue is with the 3rd definition, in that case.. I would hope that doctors would want to polish their skills. Medicine is ever changing and ever evolving. There are always better treatments, better diagnostics, better equiptment being come up with all the time.. A doctor's profession is as much constant learning as it is treating people.

Lol. No, because we all practice every thing every day. It is said that practice makes perfect, and since we are human - therefore imperfect - all we can do is keep practicing. Or give up the goal of striving for perfection.

I'm a good doctor, but I'm not perfect.
If practice makes perfect, I need to practice medicine a lot more.

They'll never be perfect at it so it will always be practice. It's hard to be bothered by the fact that no one is perfect, its life.

funny....
but if there is any seriousness to your question then the origin is that doctor's take The Oath of Hippocrates
I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others.
I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!
That has been unchanged for some 2500 years. And the wording in the original translates as practice.
It was considered a gift of the Gods, and as such it was a science the humble human should carry out in respect of the heavens and devoted to his art.
Because man is not perfect, he could never hope to get the Art quite down pat.......
So he could swear only to PRACTICE it...
But yeah, if yours was a joke then it was funny, anyway...
