I appreciate your candor and thank you for your post. You're on target about medicine not being for the undecided. I should clarify that there is no conflict in my feelings of the job and what it entails, but rather, the practicality of undertaking the journey with so many "unknowns" on my very non-traditional path. In my current career, I've had the opportunity to meet and befriend various medical professionals, to include Emergency Medicine Osteopaths and Neurology Allopaths. In conversations about it, they've been generally supportive.
As for a discipline of medicine, well, I'd be happy just to be admitted to a medical school and complete an Internal / Family Medicine / Psychiatry Residency somewhere.

There are no shortcuts to becoming a physician.
