Is Medicine the Right Career Path for Me?

Question by Hope: Is medicine the right career path for me?
I am very intelligent. I not only have the ability to test well, but also am very resourceful when faced with a situation that resorts to critical thinking and problem solving. I also have a knack for first aid. I love treating flesh wounds and suturing. I’m concerned because I’m really not a “people person”. If I had a difficult patient I don’t know if I would be able to do my job as well if he/she did not cooperate with me and my team.
I know I would absolutely loathe being a registered nurse do the fact I don’t like excessive contact with strangers, and I don’t want to be barfed on daily, or have to clean up patient’s body fluids.
A hospital is not exactly my ideal workplace location.
I would really love to go into the military, and am hoping I might like working on/treating soldiers.
I don’t want to be be stuck in one field. I want to be able to do a large range of things with my job, and so far I seemed to excel in healthcare.
I have also considered working in a clinic in a less fortunate county and giving out basic treatment to those who may die if they go without a drug as simple as Tylenol.
Seeing the patients who are dying of lung cancer go outside with their O2 tanks behind them while they puff a cigarette just makes me irritated.
Like I said, I don’t want waste my time trying to treat an abundance of patients that aren’t willing to cooperate and accept the treatment they need.
If you recognize my personality type as one to fit a certain medical field please tell me about it because I would really like to start specializing to meet a specific goal.

If you aren’t a people person, maybe you could go into medical research instead. If you come up with a cure for a widespread disease, you could help a lot of people without having to deal with them one-on-one so much.
