The band is called Dog Only Nose. Their catalogue consists entirely of parodies of Beach Boys songs based on bad puns.

Why can’t anyone study to become a qualified surgeon? Why can’t anyone study to do whatever it is they wanted to do?

What exactly is your point here? That medicine degrees are inaccessible? (Sounds like an America problem.) Or that requiring a medicine degree is a capitalist conspiracy because surgery can be learnt on the job?

Why would we need a specific word to describe that gap in the first place?

In principle, anyone who wants to can study to be a surgeon. It's just that most of them will fail, be it at the first hurdle of qualifying for a medicine degree course, the next hurdle of actually passing the course, or any of the subsequent hurdles in training. By contrast, pretty much any able-bodied person who sets out to learn how to flip burgers will have succeeded, by and large, within a few days.

I've never tried making jokes about Catholicism before, but I'll do vatican.

Joanne Rowling has released books under the name Robert Galbraith, and the poster above has mixed up the names for humourous effect.

Also Robert Galbraith Heath was a psychiatrist who was a big proponent of conversion therapy for queer people. Probably nothing to do with why Rowling chose that name...
