medicine

ok so i’m having a bit of a dilemma, i’m not too sure i want to do medicine that badly anymore. DO NOT get me wrong, i did work experience in a hospital and loved it, and i have also volunteered at my local hospital and loved that more, however i’m not sure if passion alone is able to combat the poor conditions doctors undergo, e.g 10k posts for 30k applicants, and the sheer amount of time you have to dedicate to the career. i wouldn’t consider moving abroad either so it’s all or nothing.
i already have an offer for medicine and pharmacy, but tbvh am not sure i’ll meet my requirements, but would meet them for pharmacy, the course i’m tempted to do, but the uni i applied to isn’t one i’m very interested in, as i was just looking to fill my 5th option, so i’m not sure what i should do really 😖 any advice/opinions is appreciated! i also don’t want to take a gap year unless i just

I dont Think anyone can really say what you should do but maybe look a bit more into it see if ur Sure med isnt for you also look to see if chosen uni goes into cleaning for pharm a lot as that could be another way maybe consider doing a gap year as Well just to make sureeeee
