“I suspect soon the medical profession will become like the military”

I really think it’ll be more like it was (maybe still is?) in Russia. Children will be given basic placement/IQ testing, then the government will decree the kid’s future, and they will be trained, groomed, and assigned a career. The way they handle athletes, etc.

My understanding is that in the USSR the vast majority of doctors were women (primarily ones who had flunked out of teachers college and been told "okay, you're a doctor now") It was a very low-status occupation there.
