Wait...do i just become a doctor???

Yeah kinda need help with this one. For context, I am currently in year 12 taking Biology, Chemistry and Sociology, so i do have the A-Levels needed and I'm fairly confident that i will achieve that A*AA most unis look for. Initially when picking these subjects i wanted to go into the biomedical field or somewhere in healthcare. I soon realized that biomed was like mainly research based ig and i wanted more social or people interaction.
I have considered becoming a PA but that's just not cutting it for me, there aren't that many job prospects for it either. And whenever I do think about becoming a PA in the back of my mind there's a tiny voice that goes "you could've been a doctor by the time you become a PA."
I understand that it's a lot of hard work though, but nothing in life comes for free. My main concerns about becoming a doctor though is the financial side and how much of my life it'll take up. My parents say that they willl ove to help me and pay my future uni fees but i know we just don't have that type of money despite what they say, so ideally i want to stay in London. Additionally, i feel like i'm a bit sensitive. I don't just casually cry but like if i were to come across an emotionally distressing situation, i just wouldn't know how to react properly.
Ok this has gone on for too long but one final thing. I just don't know why exactly I want to become a Dr. Like I've just been thinking about becoming one for since last month. It's in my heart but i'm just not too sure why. I've subconsciously started watching videos on how to prepare of the UCAT even though I'm not 100% sure. Many people around me want to become Doctors too, it's a dream they've had since childhood and they know exactly what to specialize in.Even my friends say that i clearly want to do medicine but im not too sure.I know it sounds ridiculous but I feel like I'm too late to that journey , like i've missed out on so many medicine related programmes and experiences at the beginning of the year, whilst everyone else around me have been doing this since "they were born" i suppose.
So basically, it seems really exciting to do medicine so...do I do it??

Get your a levels, take a year out, get some healthcare experience and then decide. You have to be serious and committed to take medicine. The interview process is rigorous enough and then it’s a hard slog, academically and physically. Be absolutely sure that this is the career you want- don’t just do what your friends are doing and don’t rush any decisions.

Thank you! Do you have any idea how to get work experience other than emailing around, practices seem to air me all the time

You need to be a polite pest.
Check hospitals too - many have dedicated work experience programmes. They may also take ages to get back to you (if at all) but you need to keep bothering them until you get a reply. Apply far and wide.
You don't need to have wanted to do medicine since you were born. Take time, do research, gather experience, then just go for it. The "worst case" scenario is you do it and realise it's not for you in which case you can easily leave and do biomed. I wouldn't advise doing PA.

Thank you! Can I ask why you wouldn't recommend becoming a PA. I know that there are limited job opportunities but is there anything else ?

A big question they can ask in interview is why medicine and not another healthcare career (eg PA) so looking at your question you’ve still need to do allot of research and find out why you want to do medicine (another question they can ask)

Because it's half-baked nonsense. Either become a doctor or don't, but you can't have your cake and eat it too

Your view of the world is very limited it seems. There are plenty of medical professionals working in other fields of the economy. A doctor doesn’t have to become a gp or a surgeon!
