Medicine you need far more than simply grades, Vet Med you need a bit more than just grades and Chemistry you can get in on grades alone.
If you aren't 100% set on medicine it is not the career for you, there are far easier ways to make money, most doctors earn just over minimum wage because of all of the unpaid hours of work they do.
Try getting work experience at a local vet to see if you could imagine yourself working in a place like that when you are older and chemistry is what you would think it is, either labs work or teaching.
Best of luck.

Your life ain't over, it's only just started!
Do read up on med schools that accept resits, eg Imperial for one does not accept resits unless there is extenuating circumstances.
Get volunteering n work experience done to see how you fare in them.
Start preparing for UCAT if you are definitely keen in medicine.
No one can tell if you are suitable for medicine or not, therefore do not be sway by anyone. It's down to yourself!
If you do decide to do medicine, hope to see in summer and before ucas application this Oct!

Your life is not over, university academics is far harder than A-levels which are kind of a joke anyway. If you can't get into medicine, try something else. Sorry but 3 tries so far means this is probably not going to work.

How many resits do you think the universities will allow you? The thing is that university exams are harder than A levels and some courses have minimum pass marks for their exams that are set high.
If you find it hard to get high marks in exams the first time you do them do you not think it would be more sensible to find a course where the exams have lower pass marks?
