with one exception which most would agree medical crews working under the idea their work definition involves 'flight' crew tends to involve their creeping in to ownership of command only the pilot realistically and legally owns.  

That said the pilot also has the obligation to listen to all 'pertinent' input AND the medical 'flight' crew cannot 'interfere' with the pilot effecting his or her responsibilities by inundating the pilot with 'input'.  

Most medical people have an inkling of how far their chatterbox mouths should be open.  Unfortunately some take it a bit further in to demanding the pilot make certain decisions and that is exactly where interfering with a legally defined flight crewmember, not medical flight crewmember, or medical crewmember, can/may become a required report to the company and FAA.

Had a medical character tell me the next time a pilot did not do as he told him to do he was going to get on to the 'aviation VHF' frequency and complain to the 'tower, or eroute radar controller' etc.  It was really a roll the eyeballs moment, and so did his (eyeballs) when I told him his thinking was creeping in to an aircraft hijack scenario which might result in an F16 or such on the tail of the aircraft.  Told him if that occurred I certainly would wish him luck dealing with it.  Never heard another word about that trash and he did adjust his 'thinking'.

From the mouths of babes, or is closer to morons?
