No.
While I find the subject matter interesting, it's not interesting enough to overcome my inherent lack of scholastic discipline.

If someone else was paying for the tuition and I could become a Dr. in 4 years, then yes.
I'm well on my way to becoming a gastointerologist, I think I just need to take a few tests to make it official.

No, mostly because I can't deal with people very well.

NO!!!!
Doctors, to many years of schooling, interns, residencies, and call duties for you to enjoy yourself till you are way to miserable/tired to enjoy (in much of my exposure to the medical field)
Nurses, overworked, not enough respect. due to the lack of nurses they have also started to lower the criteria so a lot of your cow-oinkers will be dumb as rocks
in both cases the only way around this is in specialty fields and you first have to "pay your dues" in the standard way until then, seems way to ineeficient a method to me

No. I have this thing where I faint when I see blood or gore. In fact, if I even get too involved in a conversation about blood or gore, I turn very pale and get very woozy.

Don't want to get near someone else poop, thankyouverymuch
Wouldn't want that much contact with people all of the time

I just don't want to bear that much responsibility. That is a hella big load to carry around all the time. Not being able to save someone. Making the wrong call. Too much.

So, for the aforementioned reasons, it seems prison would be a no-go for you too?

If I did, it would be as a Prehospital RN. Since my background was EMS I feel that is where I would/could do the most good.

YES!!!!!!!!!! Of course, already having a Biology degree I would probably do many things in the medical field. And, if I had to do it all over again I would probably go to med school. But, I'm thankful I don't get to do it all over again because I would be overworked and not get to spend time with my family. How's that for not answering your question!
