Dentistry or Medicine?

I've applied for IPTA recently, putting Dentistry as my first choice and Medicine as my second choice.  However, I heard from an SUPP counsellor, saying that I have a higher chance of getting Medicine because there are more seats offered for Medicine course.  

The best ending I could have is to get a Dentistry offer letter from any local universities.  However, if it turns out as what the counsellor has predicted, I won't be upset, but I won't be too happy either.  Thinking of the future of a doctor alone is driving me crazy.  The formula generated in my nightmare :
Being a doctor = Working for 36 hours (on-call) = No hibernation for a bear = Self-torture = No life

So, if an IPTA offer letter for Medicine course is mailed to me, should I :
(A) reject it and opt for Dentistry course in private universities?        OR
(B) accept it joyfully and be a good doctor in the future?


No wrong decisions shall be made now..... :

Life After STPM Part 4

13 more working days to go and I'll be freed from these gaggles of school children.  Phewww!!!

I really can't stand the noise made by my students.  I don't understand, why they have to shout when their friends are just beside them? Why they need to talk non-stop during the lesson? As far as I know, there's NO rules stating that students have to TALK NON-STOP throughout the lesson.  Why they yearn for  the teacher to shout at them all the time? Why they are so 'amused' by the cane, that they stop talking and stare at it once I approach them with a cane?  LOL!!! 

If your answer sounds like this : It's normal.  They are just immature children.
Well, as far as I know, I never behave like these bunch of kids when I were about the same age as them.  Even the naughtiest student in my class wouldn't behave like these wild brats (I'm talking about Year 2 and  students).  It's like I am going into another new world, in which the all these "Na'vi people" are born with hyperactivity nature.  They don't understand my language either, as if I am talking alien's language.   The simplest formula to illustrate this situation is :
1 alien VS 50 Na'vi people = death of the alien, success of the Na'vis.  No unobtanium.  =D

Conclusion, I would never throw myself into the education field, especially in teaching primary school children.  I'll be dead 20 years earlier due to heart attack/high blood pressure if I am in this field.  Being angry every day and scolding people every minute kill me slowly.  The end.
