That counsellor is clearly a prick.
My girlfriend is a doctor (a psychiatrist to be exact) and I can tell you that medicine in general isn't particularly hard, it's just shitloads of stuff to learn. It's time consuming, but if you are determined it's absolutely possible, even if you aren't the brightest candle in the room. (Thinking about some of my gf's colleagues there... Besides, I doubt that you are as slow as you make yourself out to be.)
I say give it a shot. Better to try and fail than to never try and hate yourself for it for the rest of your life.
