2016, d remarked:
try working as a junior doctor for 70 hours a week making life and death
decisions on possibly an hourly basis
Not to mention the nine years training, and having to be "AAA" at
A-level
material.
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
Nope, some EU countries
then no doubt, but one would hope most
if not all western nations do initial selection on candidates based on
intellectual ability.
On appropriate aptitude certainly, but being a doctor out in the real world
doesn't require many of the skills that "passing exams" test.
