Yes.

Do any other SF have the ability to walk into an ER and take the lead on traumatic injuries?

Yes

Are they as medically trained and do they understand traumatic injuries to the same degree as a PJ?

Yes.

I was with you up until you went cray cray with this. One of my good friends was a GB medic and he told me the training he had to go through. His medic training was similar to that of PJs, working in a trauma unit at a hospital, ambulance ride alongs, etc. In addition, he HAD to learn a second language to graduate and be on a team, and he also had to learn a second job i.e. weapons, demo, comm, etc. that way if one goes down somebody else knows his job.

Don't get me wrong, I think the AF spec ops guys are a bit underrated, BUT CCT (and TACP but they aren't technically AFSOF) is the ones out there doing missions, while PJs have taken more of a badass ambulance role. Not knocking them, they are some of the best trained medics in the world, but their role has shifted from CSAR to more of a MEDIVAC/CASEVAC.
