Not to mention the nine years training, and having to be "AAA" at A-level

I don't think that's a "have to", it's just a convenient filter. IME
there's no equivalent academic expectation in many other countries for
"entry level" doctors.
If you're talking some 3rd world dump then no doubt, but one would hope most
if not all western nations do initial selection on candidates based on
intellectual ability.
