The vast majority of UK doctors and most nurses are white British. Given 92% of the UK is white European, not really a shock. The UK has had a high % of Indian doctors (and some black African) since the 50’s, a legacy of Indian-Afro rule by us. Indian doctors esp are generally very good, the brightest in Indian schools, then highly trained in the UK.

The NHS is as one Briton famously said, the nearest thing we have to a post-ww2 state religion. Far from hate, most Britons very much support it (though not blind to its faults).

I don't doubt it!

My point was only that many a smart kid may have looked at the poor, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated physicians and decided, instead, to become, e.g., a realtor.

In the Soviet Union, physicians didn't rank very high in public esteem. Seems to go hand-in-hand with Socialized Medicine.
