Sorry mate but you have been duped. These regulations are made to limit the supply of doctors and keep the prices up. Most of doctors require little in terms of competency to conduct a general check up. Some specialties in medicine require extra, much extra. But if you are having a headache/fever, or a regular dermatitis, you'd be fine with minimal training.

I think you are confusing nurses with doctors. Sure, administering painkillers for a headache doesn't require much training. The training part is about being able to tell what's the reason of the medical issue, plan the treatment and take responsibility of for it.
I see this kind of reasoning in engineering too. There are many people claiming that technicians can do everything that an engineer can do and what they fail to understand is what's an engineer.
Sure, utilising engineers for jobs that should be done by technicians also help with the confusion.
