you can be a medical doctor when you're older. however, t science is more helpful because you will find it easier at A level because t science covers more a level content. and don't worry about uni you can still get into a good one, like the Russel group ones

I'm choosing options tomorrow wish me luck
It depends, If you get a minimum grade of 6-6 or higher you can get into college, university depends on A-Level results which you would mostly need AAB OR AAA, It would be better to get a 7-7 in combined science, you would also to help get into university a GCSE grade 6 in English and Maths but some university's don't mind the grade 5
i don't think it is detrimental although you would need to take science a-levels so triple would cover more content and make it easier in the long run.
could you take triple or does your school not offer it?
I did combined science and got 8-7 and I'm currently doing biology A-Level. It's fine. It doesn't really matter.

it does offer triple science but only to the top set (smartest peeps) i'm in the second set so i have to do combined higher

Did you feel as if you're behind on content in contrast to your triple gcse peers for the A-Level?
