Hi

Two women are talking about a certain lady who was seriously ill.
One says that they called in a doctor but he didn't do a good job on her.


Does it mean he didn't help her much?

Without further context, that's what I would surmise.
 
I am not a teacher nor a native speaker.

Hello.

When I first saw this 'he didn't do a good job on her' I thought of a sexual intercourse and had you not introduced the context, I would have got it this way. Quite funny :)
It is interesting was there some piece of truth in my words or not? I hope to hear some answers from teachers.

Thanks, Alex.
