I think that's entirely different. what the Pope said is a meaningless statement at best. The whole saint thing is a very dodgy interpretation anyway but then that's a whole other story.
He wasn't saying the surgeons weren't needed. He was saying he was lucky the bullet hit in a place that meant his life could be saved. Saying it in a way that wouldn't be superstitious but in keeping with his beliefs. It's a throwaway comment as much as "thank my lucky stars".
