I'm sorry if I don't understand the part where you said that it is unfair for Doctor Fallon, they both worked hard to become a great doctor, it's not a matter of being a genius or not.
First, Doctor Fallon is called a genius not bcs he pioneered or contributed something revolutionary for medicine, rather he is considered a genius bcs he is a great doctor with great knowledge about the established medicine due to him studying since he was young, the same goes for Elise.
She also worked all the way from the bottom to the top, to become a great doctor or surgeon, she didn't take any shortcuts in becoming one so it's safe to say that it's a fair game if you look at these details.
The only 'cheat' or advantage of Elise was that what she learned was very advanced modern medicine compared to this era who still only has more or less theories on some parts in this field of study.
So to sum it up, neither of them is a genius but they're certainly hardworkers and very passionate in their profession. Even Dr. Fallon admitted that he ain't a genius, he just studied very well.
